Sonic ERaZor

About this project

This is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. It redesigns many aspects of the original and adds new content. There are various cutscenes that play at various parts of the game. Levels are redesigned: there's new palettes, some new graphics, new music, new level names. Some new features are available such as respawn points after falling into a pit, rings expelling from enemies, and many other changes the author of the hack wants people to discover on their own.

The patch is in xdelta format. The ROM should be in BIN format.

==5th release==
*Updated all bosses! — Added a hit counter. — The Scar Night Place Bomb Boss is now the big one from Sonic CD.
*200% more explosions! — Also improved camera shaking a lot.
*Atmospheric Mode has been replaced with Nonstop Inhuman Mode, and it unlocks after finishing the game.
*Put platforms over the tubes in the overworld so you can no longer accidentally fall into them. (Thanks to MarkeyJester!)
*Revamped Crabmeat Boss music. (Thanks to Spanner!)
*Story and tutorial texts have been edited. (Thanks to Kaidan and Abcron!)
*Bunch of other fixes and small changes, but nothing really noteworthy...

==6th release==
*Uberhub Place added.
*Minor bugs fixed.

Sonic ERaZor is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit). This hack is unlike many other hacks, featuring a heavy in-game story line, unique challenges, and never seen before gameplay mechanics. These elements are often somehow related to explosions, which is why this hack is sometimes called "What if Michael Bay directed Sonic 1".

When first released back in early 2010, Selbi stated that this hack has no goal whatsoever and any ideas he came up with just went in. Today's releases have a lot more structure and thought out gameplay elements. The difficulty has been steadily decreased between the different versions, mostly due to some negative feedback regarding the first releases, although they all have an above average difficulty, and is therefore regarded by many as quite interesting and challenging, if not frustrating.

A notable aspect about this hack is that it contains many cutscenes, chapter screens and story screens. The game's first scene after the title screen is entirely a cutscene.
