Sonic 1 Tag Team Adventure
By Jdpense
Description
Hello, everyone it’s me Jdpense, the guy known for terrible hacks like the Classic Heroes rip offs (S3&K Tag Team), unplayable gimmick hacks that serve no purpose (S3&K Choatix Edition), and forgettable hacks that not too many people cared for (Chaos Adventure).
This hack is yet another rip off hack of Classic Heroes, but now there is a 4th player added! This hack is a celebration hack for my 10 years of hacking Sonic games since 2010, and I saw this year’s contest is happening earlier than usual. As a foresight, I decided to switch to Sonic 1 to keep things simple.

It's a pretty good idea and I like team tag team hacks. The ai was not acting very good, they stopped when they ran close to me and sometimes went the opposite direction. And when I hit a spring it just stopped me. The side writes for slopes look wrong maybe a little too looking down. Sometime me and the ai would just clip in a spring. I hope this hack get updated because I'm really looking forward to be the 4 player sonic 1.
I'd like to point out I actually liked S3&K Tag Team and that I admire that you even managed to hack S3&K at all. Not to mention actually incorporating in-game character swapping in said game which I've wanted to see since Classic Heroes tbh
That said I love the attempt at a 4-player Heroes-like game, and I especially love how you can both swap between AND change your characters during the game, which opens a lot of possibilities. Also being able to set up a 4 Knuckles team if I so desire lol. Good stuff!!
One Funny Feature Is If You Play On Random Level If You Get A Emerald If You Reset The Console It Will Stay So Play Green Hill Act 1 Over Over Again
Also here are instructions of setting the 6-button support for your emulators:
Fusion: Options > Set Config.. > Controllers (folder tab) > go to "Port 1"'s first drop menu on the far left and change "3 Btn Pad" to "6 Btn Pad"
Regen: System > redefine keys... > same as Fusion, go to "Port 1"'s first drop menu on the far left and change "3 Buttonn Pad" to "6 Button Pad"
BlastEmu: Settings > System > On "IO Port 1 Device" change "3-button gamepad" to "6-button gamepad"
