Proof of Concept Mecha Sonic hack

Maybe in a few of the spots where Mecha can't fit through, some of the blocks could be breakaways.

Pretty impressive technical achievement. The green banner doesn't belie anything.

 

Scrap Brain and Final Zone Uploaded.

And thats it for the video series. Hope you guys got something out of it.

 

Hmm, being made of steel, Mecha would be capable of plowing throw the stone walls of early stages; as well as structurally compromised steel in SBZ, I think it might actually work out logically as well as functionally.

 

Well...A YouTube comment said there was another way through Scrap Brain Act 3 that I didn't know about...and it got me all the way to the springs at the end.

BUT...there is a problem...you can't go to Final Zone! When you hit the springs, it should take you to Final Zone right?

Wrong. Mecha just bounces around, hitting the ceiling.

So Scrap Brain Act 3 is still uncompletable.

I don't plan on making another video/reuploading it, but I thought it should be known.

 

Also one quick question...is there an official name for this hack yet?

I used for my videos one contender, and the other was used for the Wiki:

- Mecha Sonic the Hedgehog

- Mecha Sonic in Sonic 1

Also an Idea to fix Robotnick's sun burned..ness.

 

Mecha Sonic the Hedgehog for the win.
Mecha Sonic in Sonic 1 sounds strange.

 

Even though that Mecha Sonic sounds better I think Mecha Sonic in Sonic one fits better, since it will fit in with the other hacks such as Knuckles in Sonic 1 and Tails in Sonic 1. =P

 

Do you mean making them or putting them in? If you mean making them, I'm sure you could get them from any sprite site. If you mean putting them in, how did you put Mecha in?

 

Erm.

IIRC, Eggman's only animations in the game were driving his hovercraft, standing, jumping, laughing while standing and running. Most of those are in S3K, so couldn't you rip those and cobble the jump out of his Sky Sanctuary flying sprites?

 

If you want the EggRobo sprites from the SCAA then just give me a shout and I'll upload them.

 

My comment, just so everybody knows. I have a different name on Youtube. Here's a video of that route if anyone gives a shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6sgINMRtfQ

 

Another user proved that Labyrinth Act 1 is in fact completable, contary to what I said in the video series.

Yet another path I didn't try:

Yeah, that was me. I meant to post it in this thread also, but I forgot. I will also note that the lack of good video logging for linux emulators is shameful. I had to use a crappy screen recorder that didn't support recording audio from the audio out and there was much desynching. This is why I use GensMovie for all my other videos. I really ought to go re-do that video with properly synched up audio, but I'm too lazy to.

 

And with that, 3 Zones are completable with Mecha!

Green Hill Zone
Starlight Zone

And the EXTREMELY unexpected Labyrinth Zone!

Also may I inquire of this hacks progress?

 

Guess what! I finally managed to upload a proper video recording of LZ Act 1 as a video response to my previous shitty recording of it! If you've seen the other video, nothing new here. If you haven't, I suggest watching this one instead!

I just found a couple minor bugs.

When Mecha gets the Super Sneakers, beats a zone, and enters the gold ring, the special stage music is sped up.

When Mecha stop spinning in one of the Green Hill breakaway tunnels, you get stuck.

Also when he is kneeling on the Labyrinth conveyor belts, he passes through rings and doesn't collect them.

Just to note them...
