This title is a mod for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, released on October 25, 2015. It reimagines the classic platforming experience by focusing on a distinct gameplay loop inspired by the emerald hunting mechanics found in other entries of the Sonic series. Players are tasked with exploring familiar and new environments to locate a set number of valuable emeralds within each stage.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

The central objective revolves around the collection of three Emeralds, or Emerald pieces, scattered throughout the game's levels. To aid in this search, a radar system, reminiscent of its inspirations, is implemented, guiding players towards their quarry. The playable characters available are Knuckles and Tikal, each offering a unique perspective on the hunt.

Unique Features and Content

Beyond the primary emerald collection, this modification introduces several noteworthy elements. It incorporates the Scrapped Hidden Palace Zone, offering a glimpse into content that was not originally released. Additionally, some zones from the original Sonic the Hedgehog are featured, providing a blend of familiar and novel environments. A particularly distinctive feature is the "Sandwich mode", a secret option where all emeralds are replaced by Sub sandwiches, with the Master Emerald being substituted by a Subway footlong. This mode adds a humorous and unexpected twist to the core gameplay.

What makes this game unique?

The game's uniqueness stems from its specific focus on the emerald hunting gameplay loop, a departure from the traditional speed-focused platforming often associated with its parent game. The inclusion of the radar system and the distinct character roster further differentiate the experience. The humorous "Sandwich mode" offers a lighthearted and memorable bonus for players.
