Like the title says, this adds Super Sonic and Hyper Sonic to Sonic 1. In addition, you can select from a handful of Super/Hyper music tracks: such as the themes from Sonic 2, 3, & Knuckles. To unlock Super/Hyper Sonic, you can collect all of the Chaos Emeralds, or select an option on the title screen to enable them from the get-go. To transform, you jump with one button, and then press a different one while in the air. This will turn you Super. Doing it again will turn you Hyper, and doing it yet again will revert you to normal. There's also a Knuckles Chaotix music option, which is only activated if your Mega Drive has a Mega CD (Sega CD) attached. You can use an emulator too if it has Mega CD Mode 1 support. Download here.

I'm just surprised it took this long for someone to make a standalone Super/Hyper Sonic hack in Sonic 1. :v: Really nice though. Goes without saying you still need to get the Chaos Emeralds though, right? And still only 6 and all that jazz?
Emerald collection is optional. On the title screen, you can choose to start with 50 rings and all emeralds already collected.
I noticed that, if you set the Super music to 'None', Speed Shoes monitors will interfere with it. That's been fixed along with some more vanilla S1 bugs (off-centre title screen, woo).
Another bugfix update: Fixed the after-image for realz this time, and made Yadrin killable with the Hyper Dash. Speaking of, I made the Hyper Dash fill the entire palette with white. Apparently, what S3K does is set the backdrop to black in all of its palette files, but then it doesn't make anything use it. This is so the screen borders look better. S1 and S2 don't do that, because they actually use that palette entry, so it also needs setting to white. The title screen also doesn't enter a demo while you're selecting your options.

So u ain't gonna add this to the wiki? I hoped I wouldn't have to. This seems notable enough. How do you pick if you are super or hyper though?
It's in the first screenshot :v: I haven't touched the wiki in months. This hack feels like too much of a minihack for the thought to have even crossed my mind, anyway.
I haven't been making posts for the last couple of updates, so, in case you missed them: v1.0.4 - 26/04/16 Fixed Super Music options overwriting console region v1.0.5 - 30/04/16 Super/Hyper Sonic can smash GHZ/SLZ walls without rolling, like in S3K
Will you be uploading this to the Steam Workshop, for user convenience? It's not a big deal if you don't want to, I'll just play it the slightly-less-convenient way that was normal up until the Hub was released.
*an I wanted to, but the upload tool wouldn't show up for download. After seeing what a cesspit the place turned into, I might not bother, anyway.
I hardly think a couple of idiots uploading others' hacks is a good reason not to upload yours. A lot of emulator-illiterate people probably will never get a chance to play them, otherwise.
I wasn't talking about people uploading others' stuff. I'm talking about all that homebrew/piracy. The place is becoming pretty watered-down with all that stuff. And, for the record, I really don't care about the emulator-illiterate. I'm not trying to cater to every possible person.
