Saturday, February 17th, 2024 - Thanks for 500 downloads! I... don't have much of anything for the occasion since I was away from home for about a week. Still, you're all amazing!

This mod is incompatible with custom ability mods for Sonic and momentum mods. I am not responsible for any frustration or broken objects caused by the mod you are about to download. It should also be noted that this mod doesn't contain wall movement as it would be too difficult and time-consuming for me to do. My most sincere apologies for that! Ahem...

S4esque is a challenge mod that modifies Sonic to make him feel as close as possible to how he plays in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 while still keeping him in a state that allows him to complete the vanilla campaign. It is designed to test your precision in movement and is more recommended towards experienced SRB2 players and/or those familiar with Sonic the Hedgehog 4's gameplay.


Sonic accelerates slower than normal on the ground. He slows down faster while the player isn't holding any movement keys, especially in the air. Running or thokking into springs causes him to come to a complete halt for about half a second before control is regained. This, however, comes at the benefit of increased acceleration. Rolling off of ledges and cliffs will uncurl Sonic. Super Sonic's floating ability has been removed.

Sonic's Spin Dash can be released instantly for high speed. However, it's unable to be charged any further. The Thok, however, has received the most changes. Activating it while close to an enemy, monitor or spring will cause Sonic to home in onto it, at which point Sonic will either do a small hop or be thrusted back a large distance upon hitting it, depending on how much health it has. Otherwise, his Thok will become more momentum based, getting stronger and thrusting you further the faster you move. Speed Sneakers and Super Sonic will also boost the Thok. After thokking in this state, any upward momentum will be cancelled and Sonic will uncurl, becoming fully vulnerable. There is an exception to this, being hitting bumpers.







An update is planned for the near future that makes Tails play similarily to his appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, among a few other things. Modifications to Metal Sonic may also be included, but don't hold your breath on that one.

This is a faithful recreation. I say this as someone who 100% completed Sonic 4: Episode 1 on Android, which in my opinion feels worse to control than console, and loving this mod. Ironic, wouldn't you say?

However, there is one or two inaccuracies. For example, in Sonic 4, the Homing Attack did a 100% accurate job. Here, it doesn't lock onto anything half the time.

It controls very bad I love it
Makes me think how funny a generationesque would be because the spindash would send you to the 5th dimension

Works as intended. Life saver. Even the spring mechanics are on point. My hate for Sonic 4 fuels my appreciation for this mod.
