'''''Stella the Cat''''' is a fan-made ROM of the game ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], featuring a fan-made character called Stella the Cat (aka '''Stella Hoshine'''). She replaces the main character, [[Sonic]].

The author of the hack had planned to alter the levels further with palette recoloring and level redesign but instead decided against working on the hack further.

==Features==

* Some stages renamed and have new palettes to make it a bit more "original".
* [[Spin Dash]]: press {{down}} + Jump
* Jump Dash: press Jump twice
* Tailspin attack: press {{a}}
* Flying kick attack: jump + {{a}}
* In some stages like [[Labyrinth Zone]], if the player has enough speed and presses jump repeatedly they can perform water skimming.

==Levels==
*Mint Hill Zone ([[Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 16-bit)|Green Hill Zone]])
*Magma Ruins Zone ([[Marble Zone]])
*Luminous City Zone ([[Spring Yard Zone]])
*Labyrinth Zone
*Moon Light Zone ([[Star Light Zone]])
*[[Scrap Brain Zone]]
*[[Final Zone]]

==Known bugs==

* Some VRAM issues: the ending sprite is garbled in one point, and the flying kick attack as well.
* Demos are crazy.
*If the demo plays and then returns to the title screen, between the A and the R of Stardust will be an artifact, garbled.
*The "10" for points sometimes messes up in Spring Yard Zone and Marble Zone.
*There's that slight teleport after using the tail attack.
*Some monitors (anywhere) and enemies (mostly in Labyrinth Zone) can be hard to hit because of the moveset.
*Possible to die in Marble Zone while invincible during a Jump Dash, if between a block, empty space, and air.
*Doing a mid air kick does not hurt the boss in Final Zone. Also possible to cause an underflow by spamming tailspins on the ground. Can be difficult to hit [[Eggman]] as he flees in his vehicle.
*Doesn't work in [[Regen]].

==Special Thanks==
*Selbi for the Jump Dash code
*Lightning for the original Spin Dash guide
*vladikcomper on [[SSRG]] for the water skimming code
*MarkeyJester
*Aquaslash, etc., etc. for their original codes
