Sonic the Hedgehog is a platforming action video game. Developed by Sonic Team in 1991, the blue blur himself would become one of gaming's universal icons, and became the first series to stand as a serious rival to Nintendo's Mario series, flaming the legendary console wars.

A classic 2-D side-scrolling platformer, you control Sonic, a blue-colored hedgehog that runs pretty darn fast across the stages (zones as they are called in the game). Scattered throughout the zones are golden rings that Sonic can collect, which allows him to not only take damage, but allow access to special stages. If completed, the special stage will grant Sonic one of six Chaos Emeralds.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik, an evil genius, realizes the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and wants them for himself. As such, Robotnik traps the innocent woodland creatures of South Island. In response, Sonic attempts to free the creatures and collect the emeralds for himself in order to stop Robotnik's plans.

This is a hack which replaces the main character with Vector the Crocodile in the original Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis. Vector the Crocodile is a character first playable in Knuckles Chaotix and later playable in Sonic Heroes. His abilities are based on those found in Knuckles Chaotix. Moves include a spindash, air dash, and wall climb. The move list can be found in the readme. As in Chaotix Vector has reduced jump height and acceleration, making Vectors air dash move all the more valuable.

The hack is based on a ROM in BIN format. The patch has not been tested on ROMs in other formats. Due to data shifting in the ROM resulting in a large IPS patch the patch is in xdelta Format.
