By Deadalive, for the Sonic Hacking Contest 2015. This is a strange hack, and shows massive potential that has not been tapped yet. The hack mainly has some moderately changed art in some Zones, new music, based on Sonic 4, and graphics and zones ported from Sonic 1 and 3, with new layouts. Sonic also gains the jump dash, but it does not home on enemies. It could have used a tweaked title screen and level select, but I digress.
Oil Desert is basically a palette change of Oil Ocean and little else. Thanks to that palette change, it is definitely nicer looking. Also, unlike the actual Sonic 4, the music does not sound like duck quacks. I also had to make haste, so the video didn't go over the format covertor's 100MB limit.
