Ever wanted to play as Mighty the Armadillo in Sonic 1? This romhack swaps in his sprites from Knuckles' Chaotix, and honestly, it’s a weirdly fun little change. He controls like Sonic but looks way cooler—those sprites have way more personality than the original blocky Genesis ones.

First thing you’ll notice? Mighty’s got this little idle animation where he cracks his knuckles. Small detail, but it makes him feel way more alive. The physics are still classic Sonic 1, so no wall-climbing or anything, but rolling around Green Hill Zone as an armadillo just feels… right.

It’s not a full overhaul, just a sprite swap, but if you’ve played Sonic 1 a million times, this gives it a fresh coat of paint. Definitely a neat pick for Chaotix fans.
