This is the user manual for SonLVL, a level editor supporting the 16-bit Sonic games. Rather than editing ROM files directly, SonLVL uses INI files designed for specific split disassemblies, allowing greater flexibility.

SonLVL supports the following games:

• Sonic 1
• Sonic 2
• Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
• Sonic & Knuckles Collection
• Sonic CD (Mega-CD & 1995 PC versions)

SonLVL also supports the Chaotix object layout format, and supports user-defined custom formats for level layouts, object layouts, and ring layouts.

SonLVL is an open source program, developed and maintained by the members of the Sonic Retro on GitHub project. The source code can be found here: https://github.com/sonicretro/SonLVL
