Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog Rev 01 This is a modification of Sonic 1 to allow play as Knuckles. It was created using Hivebrain's Sonic 1 disassembly, and my own Sonic and Knuckles "upmem" disassembly. It not only contains a fully playable Knuckles, but also a new title screen, new demos, Knuckles in the continue and ending sequences, and Knuckles equivalants of all other sprites that refer to the character's identity.
