Hack description

For all of you who will never be able to play Sonic Jam, Sonic 1's Easy mode has been ported in this hack. Easy mode uses completely different level layout. The level order is different too, making this really feel like a different game.

The only things that have not been changed are the lack of spin dash, time trial, SRAM, and the final boss is not the same as usual. In Sonic Jam easy mode the final boss normally needs only 3 hits to explode. Also in Easy Mode on Sonic Jam there are fewer electric balls, and only one cruncher that comes down.

The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches with copyrighted data in them.

Sonic 1 but my friends can actually beat GHZ3PoyoPoyo19852024-07-17Version 1.0

This really nice hack this my recommendation any of my friends don't play video games or anyone inexperienced with sonic games. Some of the levels are cut out in the game but level select lets you play them which is nice.

Love this hackMathUser29292016-06-07Version 1.0

I saved this hack when I discovered it years ago. It is a port of Sonic Jams easy mode and I love the differences between the original game and this. It's a faithful port for the most part and gives you a whole new way to experience the game due to the new level order. Best of all you can play the excluded levels using level select and they will have differences too! Sega must have figured that the game was still too hard with all the changes made and decided to cut levels out but didn't remove the changed stages. Have fun with this hack!
