Sonic 1 Remastered is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by Puto. Unlike most hacks, Remastered isn't a level art/palette hack as much as an "additional features" hack done in ASM. One of the major additions to the game is added with the choice of using Sonic, Tails or Knuckles throughout the game (selecting a character is done at the title screen.) All characters have the spindash, Sonic has the peelout and high speed dash (an attack that sends you rolling forward at a specific speed when you press A or B) while Tails flies/swims, and Knuckles climbs/glides.

Ports of music from the other 16-bit Sonic games and original compositions are featured with each level.

Features

• Multiple characters
• Speed limit removed
• New zone title/results font based on credits font

• Super Sonic/Tails/Knuckles added
• The ability to carry leftover rings into the next act
• The ability to save your progress to SRAM
