He started this hack which was first called ''Sonic Gets Poisoned!''. It had all original levels and palette changes. However, it was met with much criticism from members of [[Sonic Retro]] due to the amount of glitches and the clashing colour scheme used in the hack.
Anthall initially started off like most people, using level editors to try to make a [[:Category:Hacks|Sonic hack]]. He used [[Esrael Sonic Editor II]] to create his first Sonic hack, which was called ''Sonic Seasons''. It was never released to the public and was admittedly very joke looking, featuring clashing colors, plenty of errors, awkward looking sprites and a glitched HUD, but it was his first experience with Sonic hacking.
 
 
 
'''Sonic Gets Poisoned!'''
 
 
 
He started his second Sonic hack called ''Sonic Gets Poisoned!'' because Sonic was colored green at that time. It was a very large step forward from ''Sonic Seasons'', as it was far less buggy and the colors clashed much less (although they still clashed a lot). It was also his first hack with all the levels modified.
 
 
 
'''Sonic the Hedgehog 2008 Beta 2.0'''
 
 
 
The second release of ''Sonic Gets Poisoned!'' was called ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2008''. It was far less buggy, and had some more alternate routes and half-decent colors. Sonic's blue color was restored (which is why the name was changed).

The second release of ''Sonic Gets Poisoned!'' was called ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2008''. It was far less buggy, and had some more alternate routes and half-decent colors. Sonic's blue color was restored (which is why the name was changed). The response from the Sonic Retro members was far better this time, due to the better palettes and the reduction of glitches.
  
The upcoming 3rd release of Anthall's hack is called ''Sonic the Hedgehog - The Final Showdown''. It is the first time he has done [[ASM]] and graphics editing. Admittedly the changes are minimal but he is only a beginner. He has changed some of the monitor icons which he was jumping for joy when he created (even though there are '''far''' more technical graphics hacks out there). Also, many of the weaker levels in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2008'' have been completely replaced and Techra City Zone 3/Scrap Brain Zone 3 is now much longer and extremely brutal. The three more monitors he has added are:

Sonic the Hedgehog - The Final Showdown is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive by Anthall.

Story

After the battle of Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr Ivo Robotnik at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr Robotnik promised to remove all his badniks from Mobius. Robotnik was doing as he had promised, or so Sonic thought...

Dr Robotnik was secretly double crossing Sonic. He was secretly torturing all of Sonic's friends and was sending meteorites to the planet. Dr Robotnik then went to attempt to steal the Master Emerald from Knuckles.

On Robotnik's confrontation with Knuckles, they started to battle. Knuckles tried to fight Dr Robotnik but was sorely defeated and was left for dead as Dr Robotnik stole the Master Emerald.

When Sonic found out about Dr Robotnik's double crossing, he severed his new found friendship with Dr Robotnik and went to the Master Emerald. He saw Knuckles dying and Knuckles' last words were: "Sonic...Please get the Master Emerald back and save all of mankind.". Knuckles passed away. Sonic was furious and upset. After crying for a bit, Sonic stood up and lifted his fist in the air and shouted "I will kill Dr Robotnik:

In the Final Showdown."
