Happy June, everyone! The beginning of summer vacation is about to be underway for those that are still in school, and I love on how this turned out with the new samples that I got from the Sonic Hacking Contest expo 2017 build of Sonic 2: The Return of Shadow by JoenickROS turned out!

![Sonic 1 Hack: Sonic & Ashuro
Sonic and Ashuro is an extensive ROM hack by AfterLife while for me in my opinion is that this beautiful ROM hack is like the precursor to Sonic Mania, minus Green Hill Zone for the umpteenth time since weve ALL seen the multiple variants of GREEN HILL ZONE since this ROM hack stands out in my opinion over here.
GREEN. HILL. ZONE.
GREEN... HILL... ZONE...
GREEN!!! HILL!!! ZONE!!!
It was nice and lovely in Sonic 1 but when its overused a gajillion times, it gets old and annoying but yet very much somewhat cliche but extremely cliche and terribly but downright OLD at best, but thats just my opinion for that, though.
Its beautiful and colorful and in my general opinion of ROM hacks, I happily give this hack 10 out of 10 for visuals and for the music choice of the soundtrack.
(Now, if only I can find the MIDIs used in this since the only MIDI I can find from this is King Meteors MIDI of Ocean Base Zone, Act 1 from Sonic Advance 3 would be lovely...)
However, this ROM hack scores an 11 out of 10 since the music choice is really good! Plus it doesnt even feel like a regular ROM hack, it feels like an external brand new game and to me, it feels like an entirely new game over here plus Ultra Blue Sonic makes every Badnik just only what?
Cannon fodder! Total cannon fodder, man plus the bosses become very much disappointing but overall, the Badniks are just cannon fodder to him when hes Super or Ultra Blue Sonic.
Plus he will basically break the game and possibly the level since the last time I played this game, it broke the ending title sequence and it was a glitched-out but playable mess. Even the HUD was messed up, too!
Anyway, you can download the ROM hack here: https://shc-dist.lostsig.co/downloads/compo2016/[SHC2016]%20[compo2016]%2043%20-%20Sonic%20the%20Hedgehog%20&%20Ashuro%20-%20By%20Ashuro.bin Sonic 1 Hack: Sonic & Ashuro](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8P70h0lECbw/mqdefault.jpg)





![MLaaTR - Closing theme (Version 5)
This is my 5th version of what? My Life as a Teenage Robots opening main theme song!
Plus, I took some samples from Sonic & Ashuro for the kick, Sonic 1 drum, and snare, The S Factor: Sonia & Silver (ROM hack) for the FM instruments, and [SHC] [expo2017] – Sonic 2: The Return of Shadow – By JoenickROS and for more FM instruments, then I made it into this but kept Sonic 3s snare, kick, and Sonic 1 drum to give it that jazzy/grunge feel from the Sega Genesis.
