Sonic 1 Color Contrast is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by TheInvisibleSun. It features new palettes and art, modified zone layouts, audio modifications, and various other special additions.

Story
Dr. Eggman has somehow stolen almost all of the colors (and music) from South Island, and Sonic himself! It is now up to Sonic to return them to where they belong, and restore the island to its colorful musical self.
Gameplay
The object of this hack, is to find the various Color Monitors hidden in each stage. Upon finding them, the various colors and music of the area will begin to be restored to the zone, and the player can then proceed to the next act. Collecting all of the required monitors will also allow for the player to access the Special Stages to collect the 6 Chaos Emeralds.
The aforementioned Color Monitors include:
- 'C' (3x): Returns the normal colors to the stage.
- 'Sonic': Reverts Sonic's colors back to normal, and grants 1 extra life.
- 'Goggles': Returns all underwater colors to normal, including Sonic's.
- 'Music': Changes the background music back to normal.
- 'Cycle S': Returns all of the cycling palettes to normal(like Green Hill Zone's waterfalls).
Other helpful Monitors include:
- 'Super Ring': Gives you 10 rings.
- 'Speed Shoes': Increases Sonic's speed.
- 'High-Jump Shield': Increases Sonic's jump height, as well as protects him from one single hit.
- 'Restart': Brings you back to the start of the stage.
- 'Invincibility': Makes Sonic invincible for a short time.
Planned Features
The following are features not yet included in the current build, but are planned for the future:
- Completely new layouts (including the Special Stages)
- New art (Title Screen, END/GOAL sign, etc.)
- SRAM support for game saving capability.
- Special effects and palette cycles for Scrap Brain/Final Zone.
- A possible 100% completion award for obtaining ALL emeralds and monitors.
