Now without further ado...
Hello and welcome to the CyberDime Realm. A almost complete 10 zone mappack that started development back in the middle of 2018, and is a sort of simple but a fairly large collection of levels that i have been gradually adding and expanding on to. They aren't too terribly organised so the overall challenge factor greatly varies. All the extra characters unlocked from the main game can be played here right from the start.
Now believe it or not, but this thing has a story! Big props to my friend LightSpeedAngel for originally making this.
Immediately following the defeat of Brak Eggman and the destruction that followed forth, Sonic & the gang safely escape from the crumbling space station via a conveniently placed escape capsule. They land safe and sound with the capsule now lying at the bottom of a secluded beach, the area was unusually quiet.
They press forwards for a brand new adventure then suddenly find themselves strangely teleported to a normal looking lush green landscape, which perplexed everyone but they continued to press forward. As the gang moves further and further on they start to see some faint but strange distortions in the land. From familar locations to cold mountains to barren wastelands, deserts and even a abandoned city. It all just seems so...unnatural.
It's almost as if this world isnt real...

- All but a select few of the "leaps of faith" are gone.

now sporting different colours, and added a small amount of decorative destruction to the level..
- Techno Trouble has also undergone a partial theme change. Now called Amaranthine Outpost.
- Barren Valley returns (and is now called Timeless Wastes) and has been heavily overhauled, all 3 acts have now been merged

- And of course the usual fare of a ton of minor changes not worth listing here and
bug fixes because i apparently don't test my levels enough
V1.4.1:
- I did a big bruh moment and broke the special stages somewhat, they should be fixed now
For the time being until it gets remade, i have decided to gut the entirety of Dark Woods Zone for the mod since i feel like in its current state is a irredeemable mess.
- Restored the old eggscalibur to Molten Tunnels 3 and remade the arena to accompany it.
V1.4.2
- Remade the title screen and added music to it.
- Shrewd Blizzard 3: Remade the boss arena so the fight itself shouldn't be exceedingly difficult anymore.
- Nightlight Gully 3: Raised the bottom floor height to make the fight less cheap and irritating.
- Molten Tunnels 3: Scrapped the old eggscalibur entirely and restored the egg sandsub to the map.
- Digital Destruction: Added in the 2nd phase for the final boss from the Sonic.EXE character mod.
V1.4.3:
- Removed the 2nd phase for the final boss because of the crashing problem being way worse than I thought, and made it so you start with 5 rings in the level.

- Added new music to Shoal Coast & Nightlight Gully 2.
- Updated the entirety of Sunrise Uplands Zone to sport a updated and better looking global and water colourmap.

Sunrise Uplands:

- Added new music in for Act 1.
Nightlight Gully:
- Act 1 has been opened up a smidge and has been extended.
- Minor similar edits to act 2.

Terrace Mountain:
- Edited the zone name a tad as *Terrance* apparently sounds really stupid to a lot of people.
- Act 3's arena has been remade and now has a unique boss fight courtesy of Spectra.
Molten Tunnels:
- Act 1 has now been completely gutted from the mod due to serious optimization issues. Act 2 is now Act 1 in it's place.

- Made some small level design changes to act 2.
- Added some decor to act 1 and 2. (mostly act 2)
Extra Stuff:
- 2 more levels have been included, the first level i ever made: Frozen Valley Zone makes it's overly long grand return as a VERY short and simple unlockable level.
- The boss rush level has been re-added in from a very old version of CDR and has been remade. (Doesn't include two certain bosses for being a nightmare to get working)
- Made Timeless Wastes even more moody than it already was.
- Most importantly that the gamedata for the mod has been changed. Apologies if you have multiple save files but the old save data was too much of a mess to deal with after so many massive changes.
- And of course many minor changes to a couple of the levels that i'm not gonna go into detail here.
V1.5.1:
- Fixed a pretty nasty visual bug in NGZ1 in software mode and a misplaced death pit in MTZ1.
- Fixed CCZ2 being accidentally skipped over.
Changed the music for the Badnik Bosses
Added music in for Amaranthine Outpost 1
Made a handful of texture changes to a few levels
Due to a alarming amount of complaints about the difficulty of this boss, the Egg Frostburn for Shrewd Blizzard 3 is now gone and temporarily added the Egg Slimer in it's place.
Added in a ton more details and extra fluff to Nightlight Gully 1 (Big thanks goes out to Othius for making all these changes)
Added in a entirely new short path for Terrace Mountain 1
Removed and replaced all the incredibly redundant minecart sections from Dry Gulch 1
The buzz boss should hopefully no longer crash the game when you use a certain custom character
Made the majority of the time emblem requirements a bit more forgiving to do now
V1.5.3:
Fixed a small bug or two
Fixed some misplaced death pits in Dry Gulch 1
Reverted every change made to Desolated City 2 back to how it was in 1.5.1 as it was absolute rendering hell in software mode
