This is the new title screen and Logo for Random Sonic/Sonic The Hedgehog Random (Random Sonic is a nickname to the game, much like Sonic 1 = Sonic The Hedgehog).

Random Sonic

Random Sonic is a game that I am currently developing using Game Maker 7.0 Pro. It is a Sonic game, starring (AOSTH) Sonic, but everything else is random, including the enemies and the levels.

Random Sonic Zones--------------------------------------
These are pure randomness, but it makes sense, since the game's name is Random Sonic.


TEST ZONE--
This is the first level in the game, but it's not really a level, only an engine test room. It has most of the objects used in the game, conveniently in 1 level to for easy testing. The background is a picture of a grid I made.

DINNER ZONE--


This is the 1st level, just a random level with random stuff in it. There's a BIG surprise in act 2. The background is from Hotel Mario, edited to loop.

ATOMIC ZONE--

For those of you who don't know, Atomic Sonic is a romhack that's so epic fail (on purpose), it's epic win. It's probably the best romhack ever. Act 1 is loosely based on the first and only level in Atomic Sonic, and Act 2 is completely original. The background is from the romhack itself.

ROOF TOP ZONE-- It would be called Rooftop zone but that wouldn't be sonic-y enough (i.e. ice cap). Sonic runs along the roofs of RandomLand for some reason. The background is a starry background with various characters in the sky.

DEATH ZONE--

Most creative name ever, right? This is the final zone, but there will be more levels before it. This zone is difficult, and the only one featuring Weegee (see below for the list of enemies). The background is the same as Roof Top Zone.

TEH FINAL ZONE--

It's SUPPOSED to be misspelled. This is the final level in the game. It is basically act 3 of Death Zone. This level features the final showdown between Sonic and King Harkinian. The background is the same as Death Zone and Roof Top Zone.

Random Sonic Enemies

Grounder (from AOSTH): He is a Robot that Robotnik created. All he does is follow you (very slowly), and can be easily destroyed by being jumped on or rolled into.

Robotnik (from AOSTH): Known across the land for his PINGAS, Robotnik will stop at nothing to stop you from destroying it. He will throw PINGASes at you to stop you, but he can be killed easily.Super Mario (from SMB1): One of the few "smart" enemies, he can jump when Sonic is too high for him. He can be killed by being jumped on or rolled into, but he has 2 hitpoints. Hit him once, and he becomes smaller. Hit him again and he will DIE.
Sonic 1 Sonic with Spindash: He doesn't move, but when he's in spindash mode, you bounce off of him (if you are in roll or jump mode, if not, you DIE).

Weegee from Mario is Missing: If you are on the same screen as him and he is facing you, you DIE, regardless of status (unless you are the "random form" of sonic). You can inch onscreen to see if he is facing you, but be careful, if you get close enough, you lose one life.Pam from PATNA: PATNA means Pam's Adventure The New Adventure, which is a game I made. In Random Sonic, Pam waits for a few seconds, then jumps offscreen. Then, she uses her Spin Attack on Sonic, crashing down on him. If you are not invincible and don't dodge this attack in time, you will DIE (or get hurt, depending on if you have rings or not).

Billy Mays (RIP): "Hi Billy Mays here for..." The legendary pitchman returns as a disembodied head. He uses his products as a weapon. He can be defeated easily with the normal attack. NOTE TO FANS OF BILLY MAYS (INCLUDING MYSELF): this is not to make fun of billy mays, I am a fan of him too. May he rest in peace.Demonic Tails: O NOES TAILS HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY TEH DEVIL!!!!1!1!111 He can be defeated only when he isn't in flying mode unless you are invincible. Somari: From the crappy yet amazing for what it is pirate game comes Somari the Adventurer. He acts much like grounder, but can chase you at faster speeds.
