KZG4 played Sonic 1 on the Wii Virtual Console as a child and loved it so much he decided to spend 5+ years of his life hacking it. He joined SSRG in 2016 and eventually Retro in 2019. He became friends with numerous skilled ROM Hackers and worked on a few notable hacks, but he decided to start making his own. Nowadays, you'll usually find him on Discord making shit jokes, but he sometimes will edit the wiki. He also is a musician and has music credits in a number of hacks.
