Blue Balls editing Sonic & Knuckles fifth special stage

Blue Balls is a Sonic 3 special stage editor created by nineko. Blue Balls is unique in that it edits special stage data contained in a single file, unlike editors that modify data directly in a ROM, like Esrael Sonic Editor.

The main features of this program include:

  • Changing the layout of special stages
  • Changing the player's starting position and orientation in a special stage
  • Altering the number of rings required to achieve a Perfect Bonus

This program is designed to edit only Sonic 3's special stage data; however, if special stage data from Sonic & Knuckles is compressed to the Kosinski format using The Sega Data Compressor, Blue Balls can also edit this data.
