Sonic in Chaotix - Walkthrough

Sonic in Chaotix is a hack of Knuckles' Chaotix for the Sega 32X by JJFTails. By replacing Mighty's sprites with those of Sonic, Sonic is now a playable character in the game.
The Title screen sprite comes from a Sonic in Chaotix hoax which was created earlier. The sprite in the side-scrolling stages comes from Sonic Crackers and the bonus stage sprites come from Sonic the Hedgehog CDs Special Stage. Some custom sprites were made by KojiChao.

I like how they remembered to change "Mighty!!" to "Sonic!!" when a level starts. Just one of those little things.

Fun Fact: In the Beta of Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic Literally was to become one of the Characters in this game, but Sega wanted to make focus in Knuckles, so this is Why Mighty looks like Sonic and have lost sprites of him. (Or not)

[@nopeman1390]

About sonic crackers : ⤵️ Totally sonic was main character on sonic crackers and the name was changed to knuckles chaotix and sonic crackers is lost games Before the chaotix the helpers character is tails. On sonic crackers doesn't having badnik or bosses and eggman. All music on knuckles chaotix is from sonic crackers but sega turns the beat of music. Sonic crackers doesn't having zone name because sonic crackers is prototype of knuckles chaotix Sorry my grammars is bad :)

[@hyperthethiccboi8698]

@Holden The Gamer it would make the game actually playable the ring tether mechanic is useless and has no reason to exist.

[@hyperthethiccboi8698]

@Holden The Gamerit's still a shit mechanic and it didn't even need to exist if you remove the ring tether machine the game actually feels like a sonic game. also level design being built around it lmao yeah right they just got rid of bottemless pits and removed alots of enemies so you don't get hit alot because of how the ring tether makes you striaght up fly in random places. they also got rid of lives which makes the game so easy and boring.

1:14:50 this is getting out of hand, now there are 2 of them!?!

[@jamarigraham9891]

Yes

[@x-mighty7602]

How to fix this game 1. Remove the hub world and make a zone order Isolated Island Botanic Base Marina Madness Speed Slider Amazing Arena Techno Tower Newtrogic High (not a full zone, just the two final bosses) 2. Make every zone have 3 acts instead of 5. In the first act, you must get 50 rings. In the second act: Isolated Island: complete the act in 1'00'' Botanic Base: destroy all badniks Marina Madness: get all rings, it doesn't matter if you take damage Speed Slider: complete the act without taking damage Amazing Arena: complete the act without touching Bomb Mechanic (unlock Bomb if you complete it with 100 rings) Techno Tower: complete the zone while being tied to Heavy Mechanic (same as combi ring, unlock Heavy if you complete the act with 100 rings) In the third act of the zones, you'd only need to burst to the boss. No tricks, no gimmicks. 3. Make the 2-player mode optional and remove the combi-ring (make the combi-ring optional, just when you're tied to Heavy) and make it split screen. 4. Make characters unlockable like Sonic Advance 2 or 3. Botanic Base: Charmy Marina Madness: Vector Speed Slider: Mighty Amazing Arena: Heavy (100 rings) Techno Tower: Bomb (100 rings) Beat the game: Sonic (Sonic 3+CD moveset) Beat the game with the chaos rings: Tails (Sonic 3 moveset) 5. Make elemental shields (only Espio, Mighty and Sonic can use them). Espio because he's a ninja, Mighty because he's prototype Sonic and Sonic because he can in Sonic 3. 6. Make returnable levels intended for Sonic or Tails' movesets.

[@connie19003]

Sonic was actually the placeholder for mighty thats why in this hack mighty is replaced by sonic

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah. Since this game was originally Sonic Crackers, its posible they replaced some sprites with custom ones, to match Sonic's design...🤔

[@RazorZenon]

I mostly use BizHawk, but it can't emulate 32x.

I just get really irked when I see Genesis footage and the audio has the "enhanced PSG" Sine waves =/= square waves

[@tuxmycatsprite1792]

***** Why not use Kega Fusion?

[@shalpp]

Ikey Ilex Also Gens doesn't emulate the 32X PWM channels properly. And somehow it can't get the proper sound of Tails' tails.

Why am I Shalpp? Oh, so that's why I wasn't hearing the PCM channel at all?

[@dennisbryce6716]

Yeah... They Could Have Replaced Wechnia With Tails. Might Not Crash Then.

[@nerples1149]

Actually, in one of the many prototypes of Chaotix (I'm not gonna take the time in Gensplus to find out which rom it was, but it was definitely one of the earlier roms), Wechnia's move-set still retained the properties for Tails. Unfortunately, the only current way (I know of, at least) to get Wechnia to be (mostly) playable in Chaotix is to use the Gensplus emulator. So, there is still yet a chance for Tails to be brought back in the game, it just may need to be a hack of that prototype rom.

[@lancetherobloxandsonicandm5610]

Mighty is the prototype of sonic cuz armadillo's and hedgehogs can roll and you can hold in real life

[@devonchisolm9577]

it would have been nice if they put tails in this hack
