Sonic Like Legos is a thought experiment level design hack that asks a question: "If you take all the pieces of the phenomenal 2D Sonic levels from the good ol' days and shuffle them around to build new levels 'Ship of Theseus'-style, are the levels still any good?"

This project has been slowly worked on over the past 6 years, starting before I even began work on Super Mario Eclipse. This has a unique side effect of the quality of the levels presented in the rom (in my humble opinion anyway) getting better as the game goes on. So Green Hill, which was built in 2019, can be a bit sloppy and confusing at times, whereas Star Light and Scrap Brain I consider to be my best work. So please stick around beyond Green Hill if you can, it's part of the experiment!

My goal wasn't really to build good levels, it was to build creative and interesting ones that really push the envelope of how the Genesis Sonic levels are designed. So if the levels happen to be great to play through, it's a wonderful and happy accident. But that's not to say the levels are bad either, I did my homework and made sure they were entirely playable and thoroughly tested. All 19 acts of the game have been fully rebuilt from the ground up, all while adhering to the many limitations of Sonic Team's original design, such as camera locks, water heights, controls, etc. All 6 special stages are also redesigned, and as a secret bonus, I've hidden 20 goggles monitors throughout the game- one in each act, and a bonus monitor in Spring Yard Act 3 to round out the total. They don't do anything upon collecting them, but I hope you'll poke around and explore these megalithic levels anyway and just have fun seeing what can be done with the assets Sonic Team designed!
