Boss Run ROM

Knux13 · Jan 31, 2011

Has anyone created a boss run hack for S3K, or any of the other Genesis games?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I searched around and didn't find anything.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles, no.

Sonic 1 and 2, yes. <a href="http://info.sonicretro.org/Robotnik's Revenge" target="_blank" style="background: url(http://info.sonicretro.org/images/5/50/Reticon.png) right no-repeat; padding-right: 20px; border-bottom: 1px dotted #3366BB; color: #3366BB; cursor:pointer; text-decoration:none;" class="wiki">Robotnik's Revenge</a>

There's also the Sonic 1 SAGE edition boss attack, but its only sonic 1.
Come to think of it, I would love to see a boss rush game with all genesis games, with the boss attack music from Sonic 1 SAGE edition.

I loved Robotnik's Revenge a lot more than I thought I would, so yeah all four original games sounds like it'd be fun.
I wonder where this boss rush would take place?

If I knew more about ROM hacking I'd embark to make this myself, but all I can offer are ideas and a willingness to learn.

I think S3K bosses would be way more fun, because of character variety and boss complexity. Also the fact that there are more bosses.

It'd make sense to have the thing take place in Death Egg, like Robotnik's Revenge (awesome ROM—beat it twice already).

If playing as Sonic alone, Knuckles' MZ boss should present, as I always thought it should have in S3K. And with the simple addition of a wall or two, Knuckles could fight Doomsday's boss.

You could have time attack and survival like in RR, plus perhaps a "shield mode" where you can choose a shield between levels.

That's my two cents. I really want to see this happen, hopefully someone will be inspired by this thread. If they are, I offer my resources, though it would seem the whole thing would be more about technical skill in ROM hacking than anything else.

Didn't ColinC10 put the S3K boss run in his The Challenges ROM?

No.

I liked playing Robotnik's Revenge, but after the SAGE boss rush, the Sonic 2 physics seem really off to me. Hopefully any hypothetical boss hack uses S3K.

In Tiddles' Sonic 3 Complete, he fixed the sprite errors on Knuckles and Tails in Doomsday when selected with level select + debug. Both were always fully playable.

Part of me always thought that if Knuckles made it into Doomsday Zone, his gliding sprite would work better than his running sprite. Conversely, Tails' full speed running animation is perfect.

Wasn't that edit made in the Sonic 3 Complete hack?
