Sonic Forces - Classic Sonic Improvement Mod - Release

This is basically my attempt at improving Classic Sonic's gameplay. Truth be told I actually don't despise his gameplay in forces like many other people do. The levels can honestly be pretty fun though they hold no contest to Mania. My main gripe with his gameplay is the horrendous reintroduction of the infamous speed cap from Sonic 1. I think this is the biggest issue with Classic Sonic's gameplay and it definitely needs fixing. This mod aims to improve his overall gameplay by tweaking his physics.

Alternate Versions To Choose From

* Greatly Raised Speed Cap - Sonic will go much faster but not as fast as he would without a speed cap. This version is showcased in the video.
* Moderately Raised Speed Cap - This one aims to strike a balance between the "Greatly Raised" and "Slightly Raised" speed caps. Not too fast but not too slow either.
* Slightly Raised Speed Cap - This one only raises the speed cap just enough so Sonic can get up certain slopes without spin dashing.
* Original Speed Cap - For those who feel that the "raised speed cap" versions accelerate too quickly and prefer the original speed.
* No Speed Cap - Sonic no longer has a speed cap of any kind. This results in many issues and bugs but its fun to play around with.

Miscellaneous Tweaks / Changes (Present In All Versions)

* Sonic's appearance improved slightly and matches mania a little better.
* No more dash panels for the most part. (I left a few that I thought were ok to keep)
* Other tweaks to the levels such as the removal of auto scrolling in the final Classic Sonic level.
* Sonic's jump feels less awkward to use.
* Super Sonic is much faster than he normally is.
* Other changes to Sonic's control and overall physics.

Some issues may not be fixable when considering how early modding for Forces still is at the current time. Please keep that in mind and enjoy.

This should be a patch instead of a mod. (Intentions are of praise)

Honesty, Sega should re-release the game on PS5 and the next ACTUAL Xbox console with the beta levels and the improved Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic physics, along with the beta victory theme, take all of those CGI trailers and make into one big game introduction, add back the Sega logo seen in previous Modern Sonic games, make rings more useful by making them used as currency for the avatar customization and/or make them used for lives, make collecting every red ring unlock Super Sonic, add Classic Super Sonic (with an invincibility boost, higher jump, and faster speed), rewrite the script to make Classic Sonic have actual significance in the plot, make the 4 villains along with infinite actually have more significance, make the avatar find out that Sonic is alive, surprising the others, remove the Sonic torchered and tails lost it plotpoints, make it seem like Eggman was waiting to give the ultimate defeat to Sonic on the death egg, have Tails try to attack the 4 villains after they knocked Sonic out, but get knocked out himself and afterwards, see him not there, leading him to believe that he's dead, and add plotpoints from the comics (like why Silver is in the game, showing why Infinite joined Eggman in the first place, and a further backstory on the Avatar).

Tee Lopes Fist Bump over the video as well?
Improving the music as well I see.

Could you replace the automated grappling hooks in the Avatar's levels with normal grappling hooks?

[CyberFunk]

Yay! Another Person Who Has No Problem With Classic Sonic In Forces

[gamermanx]

That’s one small step for modding, one giant leap for what Classic Sonic should’ve been in Forces.

[Superkirby]

Does the super speed shoes last longer?

[chrisalvarez]

Also there no way to remove the crappy hidden springs? And remove the dash pads in the modern levels please?

[therealmjoc]

This might only bug me but...








SCREEN TEARING

[chrisalvarez]

Still not quite right. Hes supposed to gain speed down slopes. It just seems like hes running at a constant fast speed

[IceStryker]

And you made me wish I had the PC version so I can mod my game to make Classic Sonic actually fun. This is what I get for playing the Switch version lol

[Blenber]

What if told you, that outrunning the camera in sonic 1 is possible.

Its possible in starlight zone i've done it before.

[Ternohul]

0:49 looks like that classics sonic is boosting wow

[erkko]

Sirusly? The one auto scrolling part is freaking easy

[NickGoblin]

Why not just port all of the levels and models from Forces into Generations? Generations has way better physics.

[EnderCatCore]

To be honest I feel like classic Sonic had the least linear levels even if alot of them still only have one

[GrafDaaku]

"Autoscrolling Sections"? Sorry if I'm wrong but wasn't there just ONE autoscroller section?

[technomancer]

...Wow, just... WOW. You beat Sega. By A LOT.

The raised speed cap kinda makes sonic not need much momentum..
