Sonic 1 The Next Level

Yes haha, 9 years later.
I'm researching a lot of hacks/developments, both old and new, to extract ideas for developing an engine (Seek Engine, still in development).
Again, congratulations on the hack! and thanks for answering.

 

9 years and still pretty much the high water mark on my brain for fan made levels. Any time I get a new device that can play Genesis games, this is my go-to to break it in.

 

Sweet, a fellow MS Paint user in here : ) That explains the awesome sprites from it. The hack is still a giant eye candy to me, especially act 2 foreground palettes rotations ⭐

 

Some of the most exciting, intriguing level design, imo, out of any Sonic, 2D or otherwise!! There is some path i found in Act 1 only once, and i still can't figure out how to reach the upside down 1UP !!

The complete game provides such an interesting exploration of momentum in Sonic environments and interactive play. A unique palette of phenomena that we experience whenever we play through it, is what i remember and always brings me back to this!! as with the recent Giovanni's Level Pack 2 , this is also in some ways a glimpse into what Sonic zones can become when level creators like Studio do eventually reach the community!!
