Sonic World Stage Contest: Guidelines

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!

Want to join but don’t have any idea on what to make? This page is a good reference to what Sonic levels have representation in World! Click the image below to see:

We need your help

I have some extremely sad news. As it stands our beloved Chaos isn’t looking to have a bright future. His diseases and his illnesses are deeming him extremely unfit for any way of supporting himself. Without any proper funds, Chaos is unable to live at all.

Him and his wife live on extremely tight wages, sometimes Chaos goes weeks without food. Chaos has no one else to turn to and no other options left. So I’m not only asking, I am BEGGING you to PLEASE help Chaos out, you can support him from as low as $5 a month to $15. With a stable income monthly Chaos will be able to shoot his life on track and support his family.

Please find it out of the kindness of your heart to support this man. He was there for me in desperate times and I hope you guys will help out to return the favour.

We hope that in future, Chaos and I will be able to return the favour for your kindness. With a possible patreon stage reward for anyone who donates in future

We’re back online! (+ Discord Link)

Syphyous here! I’m glad to say that Sonic World is back. Now you might be super confused on what went down, so to explain the situation in full we have this video to show:

Also just wanna say sorry for any inconvenience that this caused but now we can continue the game without Ozcrash because Ozcrash is still gone as the stuff shown against him is fully real.
