Completed! It was hell due to the South Island Superstar cheevo,but i did it!
JonathanWG 26 Jul 2023 16:48
The first game I ever played and my favourite Sonic. I completed it but never got all the chaos emeralds. These are some serious challenges! Mastery of this game really does require skill!

MASTERED!!!
KnockerKrazy 12 Jan 2024 07:08
Mastered! Still my favorite Sonic game of all time, had lots of fun memories playing this game growing up. South Island Superstar was really stressful in the second half. Thanks for the awesome set for one of my childhood favorite games!

Masterizado! Incrível e desafiador, agora é o Sonic 1 do Mega
Potater234 1 Apr 2024 09:31
Really cheap level design. You must be really bored to play this. If you want a master system sonic game, play triple trouble.
ElectricAngel 14 May 2024 08:23
Mastered! I found this one overall more fun than the Mega Drive version to be honest >.< It's pretty challenging at first but pretty breezy once you get patterns down.

@Potater234 triple trouble is a game gear exclusive unless you count the fan ports made for SMS

Platinado! Que satisfação e prazer enorme platinar meu jogo favorito que jogo desde garotinha, como podem dizer que é ruim? É curtinho na medida certa. Por incrivel que pareça a conquista mais dificil foi a de zerar com menos de 20K, mas a de fazer um jogo perfeito (vtnc labyrinth zone act 3) foi dificil pra caramba também. Adorei o set!

Popped up that I got an achievement called don't mind this please. Was 0.1% or something like that. The description says "Nothing to see here folks. Move along." when I check my profile it doesn't show up and I don't see it in the list of achievements for the game. Anyone know what it is?

My second Mastered! After completing the set for the Mega Drive version of Sonic 1, I figured it would only be natural to do the 8-bit equivalent next. And man, this sure was more troublesome to complete than the other version.

After the no-score achievement on the other version, I can't say I was too hyped to do the low score run here for the whole game. At least the score to clear is much more lenient. (Plus, I also found out about the fast-forward feature this time, so the time bonus wasn't much of a concern. Better late than never, I suppose.) And getting the perfect run for this game was a real challenge, but no-less satisfying to complete. It was also fun to find the hidden 1-ups in each level. (Not to mention relieving to figure out the Special Stage 1-Ups don't count for the achievement)

As far as the game is concerned, I found it to be a fascinating romp compared to the Mega Drive version. There are aspects I like more than one over the other on both sides, but I'd overall say the 16-bit version is better. It is cool, for example, that your shield can be taken across levels. You could hypothetically take a shield from Green Hill Act 2 all the way to the final boss. It's cool as well how Chaos Emeralds are hidden in the levels instead of having to do the Special Stage to get them.

On the other hand, it's clear the game suffered from hardware limitations more than the other version, there's much less use of slope physics and much more egregious slowdown than the other version, especially in Labyrinth Zone. Not too fond of how you don't get invincibility frames if you're hit out of your shield either.

Also, may a special place in hell be assured for whoever on the dev team was responsible for the 1-up location in Labyrinth Act 3.

Sonic 1 de master system é um port ok, ele tenta replicar muita coisa do primeiro do primeiro Sonic de Megadrive, o Sonic não corre tão rápido, os espinhos são mortal e bônus com 50 anéis no final das fases, as esmeraldas estão espalhadas por cada nível, no total 6, o bom desse port são os níveis exclusivo, essas fases exclusiva são mais lineares, a da ponte é só andar reto e a da selva é só subir, os inimigos desse jogo são horríveis, todos eles são pequenos até demais e são muito feios, as conquistas mais difíceis foram de zerar o jogo com menos de 20000 pontos, espere em todas as fases por 3:30 minutos pra cima, pegue apenas 1 anel para ganhar menos ponto, não mate muitos inimigos e por último morra pelo menos uma vez, caso não morra você ganhará 50000 no final do jogo, e fazer 100% sem morrer.

Esse foi meu primeiro jogo e meu primeiro contato com vídeo-games. Guardo um carinho enorme por ele e fiz questão de ter essa maestria!

Completar o jogo "100%" explorando cada monitor de vida escondida nas fases, é mais divertido
do que tentar zerar o jogo com o mínimo de pontos possível
DeltaSomnium 25 Apr 2025 13:38
*(zerar o jogo 100% com todas as vidas, continues ,bonus, esmeraldas, sem morrer)
