Changes: Sonic 6

Revision as of 01:38, 16 November 2019

Sonic 6 (Not to be confused with Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) which is an official game made by SEGA) is a pirate hack for the Game Boy released in 1998 credited to "Sonic World". It is a minor graphical hack of the 1993 Speedy Gonzales Game Boy game by Sunsoft.

Overview

This hack replaces all of the sprites and references to Speedy Gonzales with Sonic. The game was likely chosen to hack due to Speedy Gonzales similar gameplay mechanics to that of the Sonic series such as loops, side springs that make you accelerate, etc. Unlike the original game, which starts in "Ice Zone," Sonic 6 starts in "Forest Zone" (like another hack of Speedy Gonzales for SNES to Sonic The Hedgehog).
