Sonic the Hedgehog SMS – NC Revision (also known as S1NC) is a thoughtful ROM hack by Ninjacat25 for the Sega Master System, originally featured in the Sonic Hacking Contest 2024. This revision aims to refine the classic 8-bit platformer by introducing extensive graphical upgrades, including improved sprite shading for Sonic and Dr. Eggman, alongside richer level art with additional slopes. It also features significant gameplay adjustments to make the adventure smoother and more enjoyable.
How to play
Guide Sonic through various zones to defeat Dr. Eggman, utilizing your speed and platforming skills. Use the Arrow Keys to move left and right, press Down while moving to roll, and press Z or X to jump and perform your spin attack. Press Enter to pause the game.
Tips
- Take advantage of the water: In this revision, the Labyrinth Zone has been significantly tweaked. The restrictive water physics and drowning mechanic have been entirely removed, allowing you to platform through the submerged sections freely without worrying about air.
- Boss fights are more forgiving: Unlike the original Master System game, most Boss Acts have been updated to include rings. Make sure to collect them before facing Dr. Eggman so you can survive taking a hit.
