New Video: In Mod, Sonic Becomes Sally
Tristan Oliver | December 30, 2009
Near Complete, How it Plays Inside
This should be of note for fans of SatAM or even the Archie series. A mod of the original Sonic the Hedgehog allows players to run through the game as Sally Acorn.
Sally, who only officially made a cameo in Sonic Spinball, hasn’t been seen or heard from in the official games since. So, who better than a fan–in this case E-122 Psi–to get it just about ready for prime time.
And judging from the video we have below of the mod in action, Sally and her sprites seem to fit pretty well through the special stages, and even while tackling Robotnik and that wrecking ball.
If you’re interested, you can download the mod via Saturday Morning Sonic, which is a TSSZ News affiliate. If you need some convincing, the game is in action below. Thanks to all the news tipsters–too many to list here–who sent this into us.

Oh man, sprite hacks are so hardcore and newsworthy.
I don’t understand why anyone would give a fuck about Sally but whatever. How is this news?
TGT, I guess it would fall under that “good news” banner everyone keeps telling me to do.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
-T
Gotta admit that was pretty cool it would cooler if E-122 did this with Knuckles
Well, maybe.
By all means, it’s well done for what it is, though Sally looks really out of place in a game.
WHAZAAAAA!!!! This is Awesome, seriousely! I´m sitting here with a big dumb grin on my face! ^^ Even though it´s not official stuff, to play as Sally is really a little something! ^^ And it looks well done for what´s possible animation wise in Sonic 1! :3
E-122, great job, respect!
Cool!
Hilarious.
I don’t care about it.
After seeing a dinosaur in Sonic 1, this is nothing XD
You should report on insane hacks like Atomic Sonic, sprite hacks are oldhat compared to what people are doing with Sonic 1 now.
Those are some of the best Sally sprites I’ve seen, but unfortunately because nothing else was done with this hack I can’t say I care.
-facepalm- A porn-star in Sonic 1? Whatever next?
@Kits’Okami: Uh…. Porn star? You’re another one of those Anti-Sally fans who attack her for simply being naked because censorship allows it, aren’t you? If you really want to know who a true porn star is look no further than Rouge.
Anyways, I’m kind of disappointed with the comments here. Then again, I should’ve known better. After all, the cool thing is to bash SatAM isn’t it?
Heres a better quality video guys.

Has a Samus-like vibe to it.
They could at least change the text from Sonic to Sally…
Sonic did.
I think the running and spin could be cleaned up a bit, but overall, very cool!
Yeah go E122-Psi, you rock =3
And you Anti-Sally people can just go away.
I know this is off topic, but I just wanted to point something out about Sonic SatAM.
Did anyone else notice how certain aspects of Sonic SatAM are similar to Star Wars? Now bear with me, the plot features a dictatorship empire that oppresses the people(The Sith Lords/Dr. Robotnik) and there are a group of rebels(The Jedi and the rebellion/ The Freedom Fighters) that are out to overthrow the dictatorship. Not to mention that some of the characters are comparable to Star Wars characters:
Sonic = A cross between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo
Princess Sally = Princess Leia
Dr. Robotnik = Darth Vader
Naugus = The Emperor
Uncle Chuck = Obi Wan
Rotor = Chubaca
Well, the sprite looks good when she’s getting up to run, but needs a frame or two more while she’s actually doing the rotary run. It just looks like two frames. Also, I’m sure she can be made into a ball like everyone else when she jumps.
@gamelordabd Im surprised you didn’t list the Death Egg, which was used in all the Genesis games.
@ aknotholeresident:
I was just talking about SatAM, not Sonic in general. I am well aware that the Death Egg is a spoof of the Death Star.
S Factor started out as a sprite/ability hack too yanno. Though admittedly not as good as this though. He’s got me beat by a landslide.
There’s still a place for well done sprite hacks like this.
And a repaint of a sprite for a nearly 19 year old game is newsworthy how?
Pff, Tristan. I think this is almost up there in terms of vapidity with your “Sonic ‘06 had boobies’ story. D:
