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.

A full hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 1, with tons of features, brand new levels, playable characters, Sonic CD style gameplay (minus the extended camera), and more. I created this Sonic the hedgehog hack back in October 31, 2011 (Halloween), everything has been changed and feels like a completely new game.

Changes since Hyperdrive v1.0:
[list]
[li]Improved level designs and layouts[/li]
[li]Extreme mode added[/li]
[li]Extra characters have been updated[/li]
[li]More bugfixes[/li]
[li]A few soundtracks has been changed[/li]
[li]Improved wall jump physics[/li]
[li]etc[/li]
[/list]

Note: Patch to clean Sonic 1 ROM (REV00, the one with no moving clouds) with “.bin” as the extension or else, it may not work. The patch is in XDelta format due to shifted data which resulted in a IPS patch with copyrighted data in it.

For a later version of the hack see THIS link.
