This is good, but one teensy problem...Compassman2016-10-04Version 1.0

The patch does what it's supposed to. It changes the starting level of the Sonic the Hedgehog NES pirate from Spring Yard Zone to Green Hill Zone. Green Hill and Marble Zones had noticeably received a facelift from Somari, making inescapable spiked pits escapable, and more rings are placed around the stages, so you don't die as easily. One problem though, the hidden stage select is broken. There is no way to get into Spring Yard Zone from it. It's shortcut brings you to Green Hill Zone instead because of how the patch works. Maybe a bug fix on a bug fix sometime?

This really is how it should have been.MathUser29292016-06-08Version 1.0

In some variations of this pirate game GHZ is the first level. Obviously the pirates changed the level order to sell the hack as a new game and changed the main characters sprite. They really should have let Sonic start at GHZ tho. I'm glad this hack exists.
