Sonic Frontiers - Mach Speed Physics (SHC 2023)

By Trepe_Serafin

The Fastest Sonic Mod Joins Sonic Hacking Contest 2023!

This is a physics mod for Sonic Frontiers that focuses on Sonic's Mach Speed and Momentum. This mod completely overhauls the Gameplay of Open Zone and Cyber Space, while tweaking the combat as well.

While this mod is compatible with DLC content, please note that this mod does NOT change Amy, Knuckles, and Tails.

3. Cheats for Chaos Island Squid Section

  • Vanilla Physics Mode: A + B + X + Y + LB
  • Mach Speed Physics Mode: A + B + X + Y + RB

This cheat has been created specifically to make Squid Section in Chaos Island playable. Use Vanilla Physics Mode before Squid Section to slow Sonic down, and hold boost right before entering Squid Trail. If you did everything right, Sonic will no longer get launched at Mach speed. After you complete the Squid Section, use Mach Speed Physics Mode to return to normal.

This is super cool! Needs a better name though, I had been ignoring it until now because I thought it was just implementing the Mach Speed gameplay from Sonic 06 into Frontiers' open zones, but the mod itself is WAY better than that. Like call it Mega Physics or Dream Physics or something

After playing it some more, I think it's nearly perfect. I just wish we could disable additive homing cause it keeps fucking me over in Cyber Space, as well as making the camera locked to Sonic's back when drifting
