Achievement 12 looks a tricky! So is this 400pts? I'm a sucker for the GHZ music....

Sonic rocks on XBL!!!! Loving this and Golden Axe - roll on Sonic 2!!

[kendra]

I manage to complete it - short game?

Anyone else get the nice bug of if you put your own custom soundtrack on, you won't hear any sound at all ? Great (sarcasm).

Also what is a Chaos Emerald and how does one get one ?

[EJG1980]

Finish a level with 50+ rings and there'll be a giant ring after the finishing post at the end of the level. Jump into the ring and you're transported to a little mini game where you can collect said emerald

[kendra]

Ta, done that a few times but didn't know they were there, I just thought it was some bonus stage to get loads of coins.

The saving really makes collecting emeralds easy.... save right as you've finished the level, unlimited goes... damn my achievement whoring.

[Ouenben]

does the classic cheat work on this?

my impression from the demo is that it probably wont. as it seems to start the proper game straight at Level 1, no intro.

Well managed to get 170/200 out of it, can't complete the game in under 40 minutes...

[MarioMark]

Is it really mario mark?

You should be ashamed

lol, sorry man. I used to be more of a Sonic fan. But if you compare the Xbox 360 Sonic game, next to Super Mario Galaxy, then you get your answer.

Try man try! I'm gonna go for the full 200 whack, not done it on a XBLA game yet.

[kendra]

Well I did one speed run and had no idea what time I had, since there's no way of knowing. So I guess I need to play again and record all the times, should be easy since now I know most of the routes (Hopefully the under 40 minute achievement is just the sum of all the times at the end of the map).

I really did think the game was longer than this!

[Akira]

such a timeless classic.Feels as good to play today as it did way back when.What happened to sonic

[Lyris]

Wow, the download is 29mb. Wonder what's packed in there? Is the music all pre-recorded rather than emulated maybe?

[RuBiQ]

Good point. The zipped rom file isn't even a MB!

You can't do the Up, Down, Left, Right cheat either because the menu is different.

[Ratso]

Indeed my one real criticism of both the Sega Vintage games is that you only seem to be able to have the attract mode running in a tiny window.

Unless anybody knows different...
