'''''Sonic the Hedgehog: Project Mettrix''''' is a [[fan game]] led by [[Stealth]] for DOS and Windows platforms. The engine itself is written in the C programming language, and is a good approximation of the original Sonic engine.
 
 
Project Mettrix also includes a level editor and other tools making the Fan game very editable.  Well-written documentation is included with the Fan Game package.
 
 
== History ==
 
(From the Offical Site)
 
This game was under development for some time on The Games Factory under the name "Sonic and the 7 Rings", but after many complications, Ron decided to seek out a programmer to do the engine work instead.
 
 
== Features ==
 
(Form Stealth)
 
* 3-layered scrolling, including a multi-speed background.
 
 
* Palette Rotation and Animation.
 
 
* Tile Animation.
 
 
* Screen Border Relocation, as seen in areas such as Green Hill, which can make the level taller, shorter, or boxed in at times, such as in boss battles.
 
 
* Background swapping, one level can have both an "inside" and "outside" background.
 
 
* Sonic style movement for each of the three characters (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles), including their slopes, curves, loops, and their special moves.
 
 
=== Other features to-date include: ===
 
 
* 4 decently-sized levels made playable for the current demo
 
 
* One zone that uses a SA-Like radar system for finding the enemy
 
 
* Original level and badnik art
 
 
* Original SoundTrack
 
 
* Built-in Level Editor for creating your own levels
 
 
* Save-Game feature and interactive "options level"
 
 
* The semi-complete 3D special stage
 
 
* A whole lot more.
 
 
== Level Order ==
 
The game starts in [[Wood Zone]], as an options zone to chose your characters, save data, and Levels. Afterwards, the levels go as following:
