^While Rotor is Knothole's resident mechanical genius, I tend to think of Sally as the one that actually uses his gadgets in the field. Plus, Sally already has at least one hack with her playable while I'm not aware of any with Rotor.

That said, Tails's Adventures is my favorite 8-Bit Sonic and the one I would most want to play hacks of, so anywork on that game would catch my attention.

While an Everyone in Sonic 1 would be the Crown Jewel of Sonic 1 Character hacks, wouldn't a series of hacks combining several related characters be worthwhile milestones towards such?

As for other Character hacks:
How about Sally in Tails's Adventures?

@Strife: Does such a hack work with(or at least make less buggy) the stages Tails can't normally access but can be glitched into? Does such a trick work with any of the other characters? It's probably a pipedream, but a hack that allowed Tails, Knuckles, and perhaps even Amy and Gamma to play through the entirety of Sonic's levels would be awesome and this sounds like a good first step towards making that a reality.

At most, I've lost a few untested partimage backups of my Seedbox's root filesystem, which are primarily so I don't have to do a clean install and spend hours removing my Linux Distro's bundled crapware every time I break my system and can't fix it and a few recently downloaded episodes of Precure. Still, I'm glad I kept the recently failed drive around instead of chucking it when it no longer met my storage needs as having it around for a work drive allowed me to have my primary backup on a drive that is only used when I need to add files to the archive or restore from backup.

Still not looking forward to having to do a cp -R on over a terabyte of data, especially with how my set-up means I cn't leave text-mode while cp or mv are working in the background.

Did try removing the drive from it's enclosure and hooking it up internally, but I got a bad superblock error trying to mount it and it gives the same clicking sound. Ended up ordering a Phantom Drives Greendrive3 2TB whcih should arrive tomorrow. Going to be a nusance copying roughly a TB and a half from my backup drive though.
