Sonic Pixel Adventure (NES)

== Game Information ==
The game was released on the NES in 1992, and it was the first SEGA Game to be released on a Nintendo Console. The reason why is so poorer people could play. This was also Knuckles first appearance. On the box, it says the game was made in 1988, but that was a typo, as the box is a re-skin of another NES game box. The game was re-released on the Wii U, PS4, and PC in High Definition. The Copyright would have also ended in 2006, but that was a typo too. This game would happen to have the most powerful memory card than any other NES game, and the most advanced-looking graphics, as SEGA used the NES Color Palette to its advantage and added shading to a majority of the sprites. 
== Plot ==
Oh no! Dr. Eggman is sick, so he got one of his Egg-robo's to do the work! That was a huge mistake... He accidentally got ahold of the sacred "Phantom Ruby," and released a powerful demon known as "Phantom Void." He also brought back some old foes of Sonic. He even corrupted Sonic's friend Knuckles! Now, Sonic has to stop the Egg-robo, before he can use the ruby to take over the world!
Go through 10 (12 if you count "Final Showdown Zone" and "Egg Reverie") wonderful and colorful stages, while putting an end to Egg-robo's dirty plans!

=== Boss Strategies ===
The strategy for each boss is simple.
* For the first boss, just avoid the spiked wrecking ball, jump on the one platform in the middle, and keep hitting the Egg-Mobile.
* Robo Sonic is the same as in Sonic 2. Spin-dash into his front side as his back will hurt you as it is a gigantic saw-blade. When he spin-dashes, try to avoid him, as he becomes deadly in this state.
* Fang will jump around the screen, shooting his cork-gun. While he is resting for about 3 seconds, hit him.
* Grounder & Scratch. Oh boy. Grounder will roll around the bottom of the screen. Hit him before he burrows into the ground. He will burrow into the ground, making large chunks of rock fly everywhere. Avoid them. You will then have to wait a few seconds before he comes back up again. Scratch will be on the top half of the screen, dropping bombs down onto the battlefield. Jump onto one of the two platforms, and then jump into him to attack.
* Knuckles is the same as in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Hit him while he is in mid-air to launch him back, making him dizzy for 3 seconds. Hit him while he is dizzy.
* Silver Sonic will launch himself to the other side of the screen, hurting anything in his way. Jump over him. He will also spin-dash, hurting you. Simply hit his front side to attack, as his back side is being blocked by the wall. He will also sometimes launch his claw out at you. When he does this, hit the top of his head.
* Metal Sonic will challenge you to a race. Simply win to beat this boss. Be careful of spikes and pits.
* Mecha Sonic will give you about 3 seconds at a time to hit him. He will spin-dash, and then drop down from the air. When he goes back to normal, you have the 3 seconds mentioned earlier to hit him. He will also sometimes float up, and shoot laser beams.
* Egg-robo returns, but this time, in a spider mech. It will charge at you and launch missiles. Hit it's back side, as it's front is being protected by spikes. Once he is defeated, follow him to the evacuation rocket. You must then jump on, and it will take you to the Phantom Egg.
* Once the Phantom Egg is completed, you will be taken to the outside of it. Egg-robo will pull out the Phantom Ruby, reveal that he has stolen the Master Emerald, and buff himself up. He will shoot rockets from his hands, and he has a force-field around him. He also has spikes on his arms. He will then weaken and need to charge up again. During the 3 seconds he is charging up, hit him. You must him him 15 times, unlike other bosses which require only 10-5 hits.
* Once you defeat the Egg-Robo, the Phantom Ruby will open up a portal, and take you to the Final Showdown Zone. After walking down a long hallway with NO rings, the final boss appears. His arms work like a shield by circling around him, and will deal damage. His head deals damage too. You have to hit his crown while his hands are out of the way by jumping on the two platforms. He will also shoot bombs and laser beams. He can also make spikes come out of the floor. You need to hit him 15 times, like the Corrupted Egg-robo boss. If you don't have the Chaos Emeralds, the Phantom Void will simply explode, and you will die in the explosion. This is shown by a cut-scene of the small animals you have saved looking at Sonic's face in the sky. With the Chaos emeralds, another portal will open up, taking you to the true Final Boss.
* The gem in Void Core's crown will fall out, revealing a large orb with a purple heart in it. He will sometimes reveal this so he can charge up an attack. He attacks by flying around, and shooting lightning strikes at Super-Sonic. He can blow wind at Super-Sonic, pushing him away. He can also shoot giant plasma-balls that if Sonic touches, will trap him. They will then explode shortly after. While he is charging up his next attack, you have about 3 seconds to hit his heart. Beating him will show a cut-scene of the Phantom Egg exploding, and Sonic falling down. Tails will then rescue him and the Chaos Emeralds scatter everywhere. The credits then roll.
=== Chaos Emeralds ===
In order to get them, you have to find Giant Rings hidden around the level and touch them. This will take you to a Pinball bonus stage. You must reach the very top to get an Emerald. It gets harder every time. You can also earn extra lives, rings, shields, etc.
== Cheats and Unlockable Content ==
* If you beat the game normally, you will unlock the Sound Test and Competitive Mode.
* If you get the good ending, you will unlock Level Select and a Concept Art menu.
* If you press UP, UP, LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN, DOWN on the title screen, the game will start, but you have access to debug mode. Activate it by pressing A and Select at the same time.
* If you beat all of the bosses in less than a minute (ex. Beat Fang in a minute, etc) , you will unlock a special Boss Rush mode.
