9 Strong Years! Release 1 of Sonic World released at February 14th 2014, with the DX Anniversary Demo releasing on the same date in 2019.
To mark 9 years of Sonic World and 4 years of the first Sonic World DX Demo, we have decided to celebrate the community and make this contest.
The Modding community of this game has always been strong, but was at its strongest between Release 7 and Release 9 (2016-2019). In order to revitalize the modding scene, we decided to host this contest and encourage anyone with an interest in modding this game a shot.
Unlike previous competitions, there is no specific theme. Just create whatever stage you want to! Be it a remake of a classic stage, a rip of an existing Sonic stage, or something entirely original!
Resources
Absolutely new to stage modding? We have a full tutorial that is relevant to the latest version!
