The only Sonic sites I know are Shadow of a Hedgehog, Sonic HQ, SatAM Fans United, Secrets of Sonic Team, and Sonic Fan Games HQ.

Sonic the Hedgehog... the game that started it all. He wasn't at his fastest yet (Except maybe when he had the Super Shoes on), and the instructions said Super Sonic Spin Attack or something. However, it was great, and Green Hill Zone had the greatest music which I ever heard... (Thank God for Sonic Mega Collection!)

By the way, a little oddity. If Sonic is the fastest thing alive, how come Eggman (Robotnik) always outruns him at the end?

Visit Chao Adventures in the Comix Thread! Go and read them, now

oh, i never saw this here, if i did i would've replied sooner.

*cough* i'ven ever been able to beat this game...i feel so stupid. i used to be able to get to marble and then when i got sonic MC i finally got to spring yard. ooh...the fun in dying there. i may have once gotten to laybrinth, but i don't remember.

please tell me someone else hasn't beaten this game before...;_;

I've never beat this game. Ever. I made it to Labyrinthe Zone Act 3, but no farther. I could never figure out how to beat that level! Ah well! I really don't care.

Gamer Chris · 07-26-2004, 05:56 PM

Yeah, this game was pretty cool. I remember not liking this game as much as say...Sonic 2. Or perhaps 3. Oh well.

There were only 6 Chaos Emeralds back then? My memory is apparently a bit fuzzy... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've beaten the game. Both with and without the Chaos Emeralds. It's not really worth it to get the emeralds though.

***CaptHayfever*** · 08-10-2004, 05:28 PM

I could never beat Robotnik in Labyrinth 3, and I could never even get to him in Scrap Brain 3.
But I knew the level skip code, so it's all good. [img]smile.gif[/img]

'Cause that little platform gets in the way. You have break pace to jump on it, and then once you're past it, you have to build speed again. Buttnik is able to go monospeed.

And remember, "I'm-a Tails, number one!"

JoeTheSnifit · 08-10-2004, 05:55 PM

I beat it, but not with the emeralds. Sonic 2 was much harder, I couldn't get past the last level of the second world. Eggman was hard in that level.

Brandon2390 · 09-06-2004, 01:04 PM

Sonic is the shiznit. nuff said.

Maverick Hunter · 09-06-2004, 01:50 PM

This is a fantastic game, but one doesnt get the full effect unless it is played on a genesis. it just isnt as good on my gc...

PSYCHOKID909 · 10-29-2004, 08:20 PM

I thought the whole emirled thing didn's start till Sonic and Knuckles came about but then again I never had any sega systems so I didn't get to play sonic games often.

RMC · 12-05-2004, 08:11 PM

Hoshiko1256 · 12-06-2004, 11:22 PM

what's with the bump? this thing is an important topic so it'll never move down or up.

Sloth Master 2000 · 01-26-2005, 06:34 PM

It's not for resale.

Thats the chemical plant Zone right?

Glyph Phoenix · 08-14-2005, 10:13 PM

Um... no. That was Sonic 2. Level 2 of this one would be Marble Zone, and... and I forget what Robotnik was like in this one.

mario23 · 08-18-2005, 09:54 PM

i wonder though, why did you only have to get six emeralds in sonic 1.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles Rocks!!!!!!!!

zepatient · 10-28-2005, 03:22 PM
