I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or any of its music, characters, etc. However, Sega actively approves of and comments on fan projects, so rest assured there is no problem here. I believe all distribution to be fair use as this will always be free.
Overview
Sonic Rising is more of a fan project than a modpack. It combines elements of many many sonic games. Generating a new world will load a massive preset map full of custom npc enemies, townspeople, etc. There are 7 zones, 7 emeralds, 7 bosses, and a final boss battle that will leave you breathless. Each area has epic and nostalgic soundtracks!
Every zone has something special to offer. whether it be unique enemies, traps, environments, or even... gravity puzzles?!
Character Selection
Sonic- Fast and good at air maneuvering. Special move mimics boost saga games with a massive speed boost and power to demolish enemies in your way.
Tails- Can jump very high and has a small extra jump. His special move lets him leap insane distances around the maps.
Knuckles- Jumps low, but glides and climbs up walls. Has increased strength. His special move increases his speed and power.
Shadow- Can stop time with chaos control and walk around frozen enemies/projectiles! Plays similar to sonic.
Silver- Can hover in midair briefly and walk on hidden routes. His special move fires psychokinetic blasts.
Blaze- Can lob fireballs at unsuspecting foes. Falls slower and jumps higher for a more acrobatic style.
Amy- Summons a powerful hammer to attack foes with. Plays like Blaze.
Since you can only choose one per file, replay value is high! Can you beat the game with every character?
Customize your character!
Ears, Tails, wings available with the ESC menu. Thanks to mods, it supports newer skins as well! Soon there will be abilities and such to buy with rings to make each character more unique.
Voice Acting?!
Using the special moves of characters and selecting them plays sound clips from the games!
Other Info
A couple of areas of old games were recreated, and many new ones were made to keep things fresh!
Old enemies are back, stronger than ever, returning to haunt Sonic and friends. To make things worse, new foes arrive from the shadows! Do you have what it takes to stop the mysterious "Maxie" and her plot to ascend to godhood? Fight 8 boss fights each with a unique method of taking them down!
Multiplayer Support
Yes, this is a fully multiplayer integrated map adventure! In fact, it is a better experience played with friends. Play on LAN or make a free Hamachi account.
Known Bugs
-Knuckles is glitchy in gravity sections, but can still manuever around things
-Sonic and Shadow get stuck in the ground. The dejammer in the quest menu fixes this!
Update Plans
-Maybe a bonus zone.
-Way more zones many updates down the line for an impressive postgame.
-Added sprites for every special move
-Added voice clips for sonic, silver, and shadow quests/special. The other characters will get them next update.
-Reworked special moves and their lengths
-Super transformation now lasts longer and plays transformation music
-Added weather clear button.
-Replaced Egg Bomber with Mecha Sonic with Sonic 3 sound effects
-Reworked Nightmare Doom's boss fight entirely
-Marble Zone looks nicer now
-All bosses are now refightable
-Made objectives less confusing
Probably other things, this is just off the top of my head
Most changes will only take effect in new worlds.
Feedback, bugs, suggestions, etc are always welcome.
Updated to version 1.4!
-CRITICAL BUG FIXED: you can now make it past zone 4 again...
---Yeah so during that two day frame, virtually nobody could enjoy the majority of the game
---Those people need to start new worlds, unfortunately.
-Added Voice acting to every character! Sound clips for special moves and character selection.
-Fixed Blaze not being playable
-Fixed up zones to make them nicer
-Fell Yeti Boss totally revised
-Rather than being sonic clones, Amy is now a clone of blaze who now is somewhat floaty
-Numerous special moves buffed
-More accurate start-up message
Note: Currently, Blaze and Amy cant squeeze through areas in ruins zone without taking off their shoes. I'm going to fix this in the next update.
I could really use a youtube playthrough of this. The first person to record a full playthrough to the end will get their name in Credits Zone located in the final boss area.
Actually, anyone who can prove they got there probably deserves a credit of some degree. lol.
has been updated to version 1.5
Edit:
1.5 UPDATE!
-Fixed flawed space in Ruins Zone for Amy and Blaze
-Made boss music in Arc more consistent in the boss area
-Remade the Main Menu entirely, with a new theme, new buttons, and a dynamic look.
-Remade the dialogue after defeating the final boss.
-Various other fixes
As usual, changes take affect in new worlds. No need to restart though as last version was stable.
Um... I can't open up the character select menu. I read npc's instructions on how to open it and I have no clue on what he means.I pressed tilde then l and I don't know what it means by ''detect/submit.

Check the controls menu and change it there, that is just the default keybind for the average keyboard.
This is the greatest adventure map I have ever played! I had so much fun playing it! At first, I thought this was just a normal, good adventure map. But I was wrong. This was way more than good. It has so much stuff do it in. Once I finish playing with one character, I can play with another. I can ignore the main quests and do side quests!
Right now I'm in the Snow Zone and the music in the village is amazing, listening to it makes my eyes water. If I ever hear the song again, I will remember this game.
It's very different from Minecraft Adventure Maps and that's why I like it. I made this account just to tell you how amazing this game was. Thank you for this. I'll be playing this for a while, Hydrahead.

Reading this makes me so happy. I really wanted to make an experience that is totally unique and pushes the limits of modded minecraft. Vanilla maps can get pretty wild, but once you add mods you can change the game entirely!

Does anyone know where the fifth chaos emerald is? I've been looking forever and I've found nothing
just so im clear, I mean the one in snow zone
Spoiler: It’s in the passage to the right coming into the village, inside of a mound of snow.
Reading this makes me so happy. I really wanted to make an experience that is totally unique and pushes the limits of modded minecraft. Vanilla maps can get pretty wild, but once you add mods you can change the game entirely!
this is just awesome i just finishe dplaying and it was just awesome! It was more than just a map it was a complete game! Really worth playing!
I can't seem to find the green chaos emerald, I have been searching green hill with no luck, could I get some help?
Is there another way to download? I can't download through technic
