History YMMV / SonicTheHedgehogMegamix

* CommonKnowledge: People seem to believe that ''Megamix'' is a hack of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'', since it's on UsefulNotes/SegaCD and Sonic has the Super Peel-Out. [[http://hcstealth.tumblr.com/post/13505293669/sonic-megamix-is-not-sonic-cd As Stealth explains,]] the game has always been based on ''Sonic 1''[='=]s source code.

* BetterThanCanon: A completely recoded ROM hack of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 the very first Sonic game]], which features saves, four new characters besides just Sonic, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic a new soundtrack]], [[SceneryPorn new level art]] as well as secret fourth acts for each level, new moves and abilities, [[SuperMode super forms]], new bosses, and a load of other features such as a heavily expanded Sound Test, more options, and Time Attack modes (including a [[BossBonanza Boss Rush Mode]]). It's so good that people have likened it to a fifth 2D Sonic game, and or even a truer, better ''Sonic 4'' [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 than the official one]]. Became HilariousInHindsight after the announcement of the official ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' (which Stealth was also involved with), as that game went on to achieve the same goal.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The music for [[https://youtu.be/nuqRBy-Pv34 Starry Night Zone]] by Leila Wilson (who would later go on to compose music for ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'' and its [[VideoGame/FreedomPlanet2 sequel]]) is an energetic EDM tune that perfectly fits with Starry Night's neon and futuristic aesthetic.

** Together with ''Retro Sonic Nexus'', ''Sonic Megamix'' had a slight visual twist on the usual GreenHillZone level by having it set at sunset. Sega themselves later had the same idea for Splash Hill in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4''. This also came up in the side missions for Green Hill in ''[[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Generations]]'' and the Encore Mode for ''Sonic Mania''.
** On a similar note, both ''Sonic Megamix'' and ''Sonic Mania Plus'' have the ability for Mighty to access a super form, with his shell flashing magenta.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Though it is one of the earliest examples, ''Megamix'' was not the first ''Sonic'' title, official or fan-made, to feature a {{remixed|Level}} version of GreenHillZone at sunset. That honor would go to Sunset Hill Zone in ''[[VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy Sonic Advance 3]]'', which released in 2004--one year before the ''Megamnix'' project started. Take note that ''Megamix''[='s=] Sunny Shores Zone was originally named Sunset Hill Zone, with its Act 3 theme even being lifted directly from Sunset Hill Zone Act 2.

** Digging through the code of ''[[Manga/YuYuHakusho Yuu Yuu Hakusho: Sunset Fighters]]'' reveals previously unseen sprites of Tails intended for Sonic Crackers. This was after Tails was added into ''Sonic Megamix'' and used Smiling Bomb, the anime's opening theme, as his ending theme.
