Based on the recent decompilation of the mobile version, Sonic the Hedgehog Forever adds a number of abilities, options, and game modes to enhance the experience and celebrate the replayability of the game.

Extra options 



Build a moveset for Sonic with Dropdash, Instashield, Peelout, even Spindash all toggleable! Extra addition like flight cancel, super cancel, and smoother rotation are available too. Make sure you check the options out!





Eight Save Slots



You can save up to eight files on our save select. If you have files from the base decomp on your SData, press Up five times on the Sega screen and they will be imported!





Time Attack



All levels available with all three characters, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles!





Arcade Mode



A one-life run through the game to rack up as many points as possible. Set a high score and compare your previous attempts.





Emerald Gauntlet



Unlocked with the Chaos Connoiseur achievement. Can you beat all seven special stages in one try? You may understand the Chaos Emeralds a little better if you do...





Special Maker



A feature hidden in the dev menus of the decompilation, you can make, save, and load your own special stages. Saved stages load automatically on entry.





Boss Rush.



Unlocked with the One for the Road acvhievement. All of the classic Eggman fights in one level. How quick do you think you can beat them?





Achievements



All of the achievements from the mobile version have been recreated, with some fun additions on top.





Control Test



Hold the Down button on the Sega screen for three seconds to access our Control Test screen, and check how your inputs are being read by the game.





Secret Unlockables



Some are more obscure than others. You might stumble across them, or you may choose to go looking.





There's lots of polish applied to the game experience. We hope that with Forever, you can always find a reason to play Sonic 1 again. And again. Forever.
