If the first Sonic NES graphics improvement wasn’t enough for you I’ll present you the Unofficial* version 1.2 of the graphics improvement for Sonic The Hedgehog (NES)!

Some things that are changed in this second graphical improvement:

• Improved title screen fixing those blue Sonic lips and the intermittent “2016 Hack by the jabu”, the “2016″ year has been changed to “2017″ now. (Updated to 2018)
• Most of the tiles are revamped, being more closer to the original Genesis tilesets (Most notably the rings)
• Fixed Sonic standing pose, being more closer to the Genesis original as well the Life icon to be more stylised like Sonic Mania.
• In-game number fonts changed to the ones used in Sonic 1 for Genesis.
• “(X) ZONE” font revamped to be more closer to the Genesis original.
• Some other palettes of tilesets and enemies has been changed.

And even some more!

New update from 21/20/2018:

• Fixed Sonic’s belly to be more closer to the original Classic Sonic design.
• Now the year displayed in the Title Screen is 2018.
• Improved Green Hill Zone hills to be closer to the Master System version.
• Purple portal frames from Final Zone background fixed as well.

(This hack also includes the Ti’s Musical improvement too.)

The patch applies with the Sonic 3D Blast 5 [p1][!].nes rom.
