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.

-Dynamic Palettes Per-Act (Optional)
-Fixed Demo Playback (Unnoticeable and not needed as speed cap fix ruins this)
-"PRESS START BUTTON" appears
-Walk-Jump Removed
-Fixed Ring Timers and added quick blink animation
-Special Stage jumping responds to button presses like the normal jump (hold to jump higher)
-Sonic collides with water after being damaged
-Removed speed cap (mentioned above)
-Sonic now has the Super Dash Attack or Spin Dash from Sonic 2
-Fixed the death boundary bug
-Fixed the camera follow bug (barely noticeable in-game)
-Fixed the water palette on the Title Screen to be consistent with gameplay
-Spike Behavior fixed
-Sonic's walking animation has been tweaked to look like the 2013 mobile version and Sonic movie credits
-Fixed a "remember sprite" bug where objects appear destroyed when they aren't when RAM is full (only noticable in Debug Mode)
-REV01 Background effects ported
-Fixed scattered Rings underwater physics
