Hack description

This is a hack which replaces the main character with Sally Acorn of SatAM and Comic Book fame in the original Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis. Sally is slower than Sonic and can't use a ground roll or spin dash. However, she has an attack button and has other moves which are detailed in the readme.

This hack is based on the Sonic the Hedgehog ROM in BIN format. It has not been tested for compatibility on other ROM formats. The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches with original code in them.

==Version 1.8==
* Sally now has a projectile attack as in Sonic 2. It works more or less identically, complete with added duck and downward fire abilities.
* Sally can now hack Sonic 1! Use the B button to use NICOLE's scan mode on monitors and other obstacles. There's not a great deal of objects it works on so far, but it's worth being creative and seeing how they have affect.
* Some cosmetic refinements such as palette and sprite tune ups.

==Version 1.9==
* Collision bug fixed.
* Bug concerning projectile collision with bumpers fixed.
* Bug which causes hackable objects to explode into animals when invincible fixed.

==Version 2.0==
* Rev 01 graphics added.
* Level select order fixed.
* Omitted a couple of objects NICOLE could scan due to buggy programming and making Sally's gameplay a bit too cheap.
* Scan mode now deletes when firing at objects, preventing bug where effects turn on and off again on objects due to laser flying for too long inside them.
* Most of the demos rerecorded (SBZ2's credits demo is still buggy due to timing issues with the cylinders).
* Bug causing Sally to be able to smash certain objects while running fixed.
* Bug causing NICOLE's laser to collect rings fixed.
* Sally's jump height while downward firing in water fixed.
* Minor pallette fixes for certain sprites.

==Version 2.2==
* Fixed bug that allowed Sally to destroy Marble Zone blocks.
* Fixed bug where Sally's landing animation doesn't activate underwater.
* Got SBZ2's ending demo to work at least semi-competently.
* Minor palette tweaks.
* Minor tweaks to Sally's stats (mostly to make her slightly slower but with better acceleration/deceleration).

Love the Sally trilogy!	Cupcom5/NGKFlower	2021-07-05	Version 2.2
I enjoyed all three Sally hacks, she was my favorite of the SatAM series and comics. I do have a complaint, but it's for Sally in Sonic 3 & Knuckles; Since I'm here I might as well get it out the way, if this review gets rejected then I'll just go to the Sally Sonic3&K page to do it. So in Angel Island and Carnival Night Acts 2 zones there are some bugs. Angel Island when I try taking the Knuckles route she just instantly dies with no warning whatsoever. I used savestates just to see if I was going crazy and each and every time she still dies. there are no enemies in the area and she just flat-out dies. Carnival Night Act 2- Turning super around those mini-electric bulb enemies (They teleport from ceiling to ground). When you turn super around them or press one of the attack buttons, just goes straight to the SEGA logo and title screen. Using save states again, each time it happens, turning super warps you straight to the SEGA logo and title screen making you repeat the stage over from the beginning again. Luckily there is a way around this, just don't use the attack buttons at that part. It's just really annoying when you play without savestates to be ported right at the Sega logo and title screen. No speed runs for you if you do. That being said, I've really enjoyed the Sally in Sonic trilogy, and hopefully one day there can be a Sally in Sonic Spinball, 3D Blast and/or Sonic R. lol

Nice hack	MathUser2929	2016-06-07	Version 1.7
A port of a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog TV show known as SATAM. The moveset is nothing spectacular but the spritework is pretty good. It blends in well with the Sonic 1 graphics. If you like SATAM give this hack a try.
