Description

**This is a mod from SonicRetro.org. I do not own or claim to own this modification, and it was created by the late Polygon Jim.**

Motobug the Badnik in Sonic the Hedgehog (aka Motobug in Sonic 1) is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive, by Polygon Jim. As its title suggests, in this hack the main character Sonic the Hedgehog is replaced by Motobug, one of Dr. Robotnik's badniks.

Some of Sonic's main sprites and animations have been replaced by those of Motobug, Motobug's speed has been decreased (except when powered-up by a Speed Shoes monitor, which are more numerous), and the sprites of Roller badniks in Spring Yard Zone have been replaced by those of Sonic (referencing a common interpretation by fans that Roller is a robotic impersonation of Sonic, something that officially appeared in later games in the form of Metal Sonic and various others).

Hey, remember this?

I've just removed the Sonic 1 DLC requirement since that will be delisted next month. Thanks, Sonic Origins!

I don't think this is beatable without cheating/level hopping using the main menu. From Marble and up there are no new shoe powerups. You simply lack the speed and maneuverability to make it over the lava/sinking+burning grass platforms. You can neither make the gap, or realistically hold on to enough rings to tank your way across. That isn't to say you can't brute force the game with the use of the level select, but you certainly won't be collecting all the emeralds as Motobug.
Nor am I positive it can outrun the Robotnik that falls on you with a spike or the endgame pistons. But it's fun, and gimmicky.
