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.

Sonic 1 Swift is a complete hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 1. It features:

- New level design
- New musics
- New zones
- Edited bosses with different strategies
- Non-rotating Special Stages
- Collectable 1-ups through the special stages
- A Speed and Invincibility power up once you collect all 6 Chaos Emeralds
- Spindash and some bugfixes from the vanilla game (thanks to Sonic hacking Studio)
- Custom enemy sprites

And more.

Enjoy.
