Sonic the Hedgehog: Silver Sonic: The Revenge is a ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. Released during the Sonic Hacking Contest 2021, it replaces most levels with new designs and features Silver Sonic, on a quest for vengeance against Robotnik for imprisoning his robot companions. Despite its high difficulty, the hack is recognized for its creative level design and unique gameplay.
Silver Sonic: The Revenge (Or Silver Sonic's Revenge) is a level, palette and graphics hack for Sonic the Hedgehog 1. It replaces all the levels (Aside from Labyrinth Zone, which is omitted) with brand-new ones and replaces Sonic with the titular Silver Sonic, who is on a mission to avenge his Master Robot buddies who got thrown in Labyrinth Zone by Robotnik for failing to kill Sonic during the events of Sonic 2 8-bit by killing the mad doctor. (However, with how well-guarded Robotnik is with all his kaizo traps, good luck to Silver Sonic.)
This was originally designed for and released at the Sonic Hacking Contest 2021 and did not win any trophies due to its insane difficulty. However, it is still a well-designed hack (Mostly) in terms of level design, difficulty aside, and was entirely made with an obsolete editor on Windows XP rather than using a disassembly and is as such pretty impressive. Other than that, it's pretty much only submitted here for archival purposes.
If you're looking for a good Sonic hack starring Silver Sonic from S2 8-bit, look no further than Silver Sonic: Rise of the Death Egg, its sequel for Sonic 1 SMS which, while still difficult, is much more polished and a whole lot more fun for less skilled Sonic players.
But if you're looking for a good Sonic 1 kaizo hack that isn't too hard (On Kaizo scale, not regular scale) this is the hack for you!!! From the blind jumps of Scrambled Egg, to the Firey Lava of Temple, to the Bumper Jumps of Lethal City and everything in Egg Base, you have many challenges awaiting!
Now, let the games begin.
