Ever wanted to play Sonic 1 but with Mighty the Armadillo instead? This romhack swaps in Mighty using Aquaslash and Cinossu’s custom sprites, and honestly, it’s a surprisingly smooth fit. The animations look great—especially when he curls into a ball mid-air—and he controls just like classic Sonic, just with a slightly different vibe.

You’ll blast through Green Hill Zone like usual, but it’s weirdly refreshing seeing Mighty’s design in those old-school levels. The sprite work nails his look from the Archie comics and Knuckles’ Chaotix, down to the little shell details. No new abilities or gimmicks, just a straight-up character swap, but sometimes that’s all you need for a fresh replay.

If you’ve ever thought "Man, Sonic 1 could use more armadillo," this is your fix.
