Marble Garden: Fig Branch

By FgThRngd
 

This is a mod that overhauls most of Marble Garden Zone, complete with new layouts, new stage palettes, and a few little surprises here or there. This was originally for a level design collaboration but I decided to bring it here so I can get feedback, maybe some funny reactions and because I don't want this work to go to waste. I should also mention that this is my first time doing Sonic level design so things might be a bit rough. While I don't think this is as substantial as my other work, I hope you'll enjoy this zone edit as much as I did working on it!

Idk what else to add here but I'll give you some advice:

  • When you're in need of a pickup, stop and smell the roses.
  • Even though it may not seem like it, she can hear everything.
  • He's back, angrier, and wants you (and the SHC) dead.
  • If you see anything unusual, try touching it.
  • For the love of whoever, please do not wake her up.

NOTICE: I recently found out about a huge problem with the version I submitted here which results in the wrong layout file being used, resulting in one of the surprises being ruined. It will be fixed for the next release. I am truely sorry for the inconvenience.

I found it pretty awesome! The new boss was really cool too, it's like the MHZ2 boss but more fun

Dude that boss was so freaking cool. I loved it! For your first level design, I'd say for sure you're going in the right direction. Fun level, good visuals and awesome boss work. Finally, a Sonic hack that has a decent boss that doesn't take 2 hours!
