Sonic Legends - TRIAL VERSION
A downloadable Trial for Windows
Sonic Legends is an unofficial, non-profit fan project inspired by the 2D Sonic the Hedgehog series of games. Its main goal is to update and re-invent over 20 year of history within the Sonic fangaming scene. Every featured Zone has been re-imagined for a modern outing by redesigning them from the ground up in all aspects, adding flair and polish similar to 2017’s Sonic Mania.
Beginning development in late 2017, Sonic Legends has gone through many iterations. Starting out simple as a modification for Sonic Mania, it is currently developed as a fully-fledged project within Game Maker Studio 2.
The nefarious Dr. Eggman is at it again!
Just off the trickling coast at the edge of Sonic’s birthplace, Christmas Island, stands the glorious Sunrise Gate and the power source embedded deep in its majesty, Phossil - the doctor’s old go-to for his dastardly schemes. After emerging out of a Charged-up Fake Chaos Ring; traversing through treacherous and unusual locales. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy must collect the Chaos Emeralds and put a stop to Dr. Eggman once more! The state of the Nexus Dimension is in your hands!
Go, Sonic! Everyone is counting on you!
The trial version of the game features two out of four playable characters, as well as two zones planned for the first half of the game, which we are dubbing "Chapter 1"
Sunrise Gate Zone
The luscious environment from Sonic Overture returns as Sonic and co. start their latest adventure on Christmas Island! The mad doctor’s old Phossil-powered Badniks may still be around to give the group a cold welcome back party! Hey! I think one of the locals might be following us!
Panic City Zone
Welcome to the heart of Metropolis Madness! Eggman’s forces are already attempting to take over the massive infrastructure this place holds! Maybe these ziplines and balloons help you get to the center of the city in no time! Hailing from 2006's Sonic Utopia, we are proud to present a short demonstration of the first act of the zone as a bonus for this version! Thank you so much for your support this past year!
Credits can be found in-game at the end of Panic City Zone act 1. We have quite a big list of people working on this!

THE SPRITE WORK IS AMAZING!!!! the speed and mechanics make me feel like im playing sonic mania again! amazing work!
Nice Work
This is spectacular! If this gets finished, this will be the true Sonic Mania 2, the visuals rival (maybe even surpass) Mania's style which is extremely high praise! It's not perfect of course, no game is. It did not run smoothly 100% of the time and sometimes Sonic will be in his rolling animation even when he's just standing. One of the things I like is that the blue ring works the way it does in Chaotix and not Mania, being one ring instead of multiple. As someone who loves collecting hundreds of rings in one level, the unsatisfaction of getting hit is annoying so having it be one ring is awesome sauce! I didn't even realise how to make the game full screen and to play as Sonic and Tails at once until typing this lmao, I heavily looked over that oops. Amazing work!
Great job, game plays very smoothly and I loved the little easter eggs in Panic City! My only real gripe is the sound effect volumes. Some are too quiet (the checkpoint sound, and the spring sound could use a little boost) and others away WAY too loud (pause menu selection sound, crumbling platforms/walls, bubble shield activation and bounce)
Keep up the great work!
Awesome work everyone. I can't wait to see what's in store for future demos!
Thanks for the fun demo! Really smooth! = D
Great fangame. Keep the good work!
