About

Sonic the Hedgehog in Giant Jungle is a ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. This hack is defined by its experimental "tiny Sonic" gimmick, which shrinks the character's sprites to give the player a much wider view of the surrounding level, though the terrain assets remain at their original size.
