Play Flicky Turncoat DX (demo Sonic 1 hack) Online
Tiny Flicky zooms through twisted Green Hill Zone layouts with floaty jumps and twitchy dashes—turns out being a speedy blue bird wrecks your Sonic muscle memory in the best way.

Flicky Turncoat DX is a Sonic 1 hack for the Sega Genesis, released in 2020. It reimagines the familiar zones of Sonic's first adventure with a new protagonist and altered physics. The hack was created by a developer known as Turncoat, and it fits right into the era of fan modifications that expanded what the Genesis could do.
You control Flicky, the small blue bird normally rescued in Sonic games. Your goal is to navigate through remixed stages, avoiding enemies and reaching the goal. Flicky moves with a floaty, less precise jump than Sonic, and can perform a quick dash in midair to change direction or gain momentum. The level layouts are familiar but twisted, demanding careful platforming and quick reactions. It feels surprisingly fresh to play a character with such different movement in a world you thought you knew.
