Sonic Hedgehog Improvement

Introduction: "Sonic Hedgehog Improvement" is a fan made ROM hack of the 1991 Sega Genesis game "Sonic the Hedgehog". It is not an official NES game, but a modification of the original 16 bit title. The hack features the same six main zones as the original, Green Hill, Marble, Spring Yard, Labyrinth, Star Light, and Scrap Brain, but with significant alterations to their layouts and enemy placement. The visual style retains the original Genesis sprites and color palette.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The player controls Sonic with his standard spin dash and jump abilities. The core physics engine is the original Genesis code, preserving its momentum based movement and slope interactions. The primary change is in the level design, which is restructured to be more challenging and less forgiving. Platforming is tighter, enemy patterns are more aggressive, and bottomless pits are more frequent. There are no new playable characters or added abilities like the insta shield or super forms. The focus is on providing a more difficult, precision oriented experience using the original game's mechanics.

Key Features:

• Redesigned level layouts that increase difficulty and alter the flow of each act.
• Revised enemy and obstacle placement to create new challenges.
• A strict time limit of six minutes per act, enforcing a faster pace.

This hack is designed for players seeking a more demanding test of their classic Sonic skills.
