Description

This is an old Sonic Fan game also made in 2000 by Magicgrafx! It was the second Sonic game I ever played. I only knew the Sonic franchise by the Saturday Morning Cartoon (A.K.A Sonic SatAM) and another cartoon called Sonic Underground. Just like Legendary Sonichaos it has a lot of glitches but still a fun game. Did you know? if you beat this game you gain an awesome screen saver! This an edited playthrough so I remove all the deaths that I had so you can see inconsistent between some stages if you noticed the scoreboard and life info, c’mon this game is really hard! I can’t record every time! I’m busy man!

This game runs at 640x480 although it uses some kind of widescreen for this reason  I crop the image to get a better look if you watching this on a small device but the quality of the video was compromised (if you care about that)...). Before you asked, I did not cut the subtitles they are cut even if you’re playing in the real resolution I tried changing the PC resolution to 640x480, 320x240 etc and still the same.

This game was made for Windows PCs but you can still run it on Linux based systems using Wine. The music files are MIDI so you might have trouble listening the music (if you care about that). Unfortunately you can’t use joystick naturally however if you install a joystick to keyboard software (your PC gamepad will emulate keyboard and mouse movements) like JoyToKey (or AntiMicro if you’re using Linux) you can have the job done.

The game installer (it also contains the manual) lacks some information it says the game has these stages: Sky Sanctuary, Lava Reef Zone, Flying Battery Zone, Carnival Night Zone, Marble Garden Zone (!), Launch Base Zone (!), Mushroom Hill Zone (!), Hidden Palace Zone (it’s the final boss stage) as you know only some of them appear in the game. I think there are chaos in every stage I remember in my playthroughs that I found one in the first stage, I don’t know what they do the game installer/manual doesn’t mention anything about them! By the way I found one in Flying Battery Zone (38:28 – 44:18).

Here are the game controls (some information aren’t showed in installer/manual):

Arrow keys = To move Sonic
Space bar = Spin Jump
Press down while walking/running = Spin
Press Down + Space bar = Spin Dash
Space bar (1 time) + Down (keep pressing) = Continuous Spin 
F2 - Reset game
P - Pause game
M - Enables/disables music 
S - Disables SE (sound effects)
ESC or ALT+F4 - Closes the game

* - It appears that was supposed to be the final boss but it was scrapped if you notice it is using Sonic’s S3&K design instead of the original fanmade sprite from the game. It can only be accessed by modifying the save file (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\scr.ini) by adding in the value 18 the number 99 (18=99), thanks to ValleyBell’s post from Sonic Retro (https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=24633) if Robotnik attacks Super Sonic, he will be deleted/vanished and the game will kinda crash (the game will continue to run but you can’t do anything you’ll be only seeing the rocks in space) forcing you to reset the game. I decided to put here before the real final boss because it made more sense story-wise (if that makes any sense…).

Most Sonic games’ plot are related to the Chaos Emeralds in this game they were destroyed (Yay! I never like them and that super stuff anyway!). Without them most villains can’t do much trouble in this universe. This game was also the last (complete) game made by Magicgrafx so maybe it was meant to end the Sonic’s saga as the game creator moved on from fangames…

Questions about the plot:
Did Knuckles die? 
Is peace restored forever?
Will Chaos return?
