I had to use a code to enable this. I never had to lose a life in the first Zone of a Sonic game (my rust is showing because I lost two lives due to rushing), but I couldn't hold it together during this recording.
This is what happens when you play New Game+ in Sonic The Very Useful Engine Rom Hack.
This game was entered in the 2014 Sonic Hacking Contest. It was a rom hack based on turning everything into Thomas (as in Thomas the Tank Engine). It won two trophies:
Fang Trophy Winner (Best New Enemy/Badnik in a Rom Hack)
Casinopolis Trophy Winner (Best Entertaining/Fun Rom Hack)
