Splash Hill, Clean and Downloadable, Inside
Today, Sega did a major reveal on Sonic the Hedgehog 4, officially revealing Splash Hill Zone for the very first time. The reveal included items like music and screenshots, and we’ll have a story on the former and more shortly.
But for now let’s send you right to the gallery, which is below. These are the eight screenshots of Splash Hill released today by Sega, clean and downloadable.

God, these are gorgeus, and I’m lovin splash hill zone’s music!!!
…hot damn, those are beautiful…
Wow! They completely updated the site. Love the music! Love the screenshots. Can’t wait for the “coming soon” video of Splash Hill! Hooray for hype!
Oh heads up! They’ve also updated the “Featured” characters section to include Eggman as well.
@TailsFox88: Thanks for the heads up. The music is firggin’ spectacular; Eggman’s model seems to be ripped from the one they used in the Adventure games, though…
I like the music so far.

Looking at the screenshots the Homing Attack/Lock-on mechanic looks dare I say natural. There’s also a flicky coming out of one of the badniks and omg…the music!!! This restored any faith I may have lost in Project Needlemouse. I hope this game truly is the one we’ve been waiting for.
Quick theory, a lot of us want to believe there are more than 4 zones. Although there are 4 slots on the Music Downloads page, Splash Hill’s is explicitly listed as Act1. Considering different acts will be remixed S3&K style it still leaves a lot of room for future speculation. I’m dying to hear how much more awesome Splash Hill Act 2 and 3 sound!
Already have the music on my iPod nano. Now to play Sonic 1 to this music!
The homing reticule better have a toggle, there is no reason to have that in 2D
awesome! Sonic 4′s going to be FRIGGING awesome!
holy…balls, this game is going to fucking RULE!!!! Im not one to give into the hype but GODDAMN this is nice. I love the screenshots and I love the music, fucking great!!
Yes!!! ladies and gentlemen Sonic The Hedgehog is back and is ready for some badnik bashing and robotnik breaking in this sequel to the acclaimed oringinal series.
A swinging vine gimmick in one of the shots?
Looks fun.
I really hate that new Sonic running animation. It’s the very definition of lazy!
The music is pretty average, it reminds me of Sonic Heroes but thats a given since Jun is making it.
If only sega would get the S3K dream team or the guy who did Sonic Rush.
The music is fantastic. Jun FTW
Just downloaded the music…
Pretty good as a backing track, yet I can’t help but zone (no pun intended) out while listening to it.
AAAAWSOME
If this game is awesome i’m breaking my copy of NSMBW!
I really DONT like Splash Hill original version
The fan music is best than original,and fans creates BEFORE linten original and cleaner.
The original bassline not change in compass house,change one in one house only
And drum is very basic,”Bumb” , “Box” , 2x “Bumb” “box” , 4x “box + 1 “box” and restart.
Sorry for this,Jun Sanoue is BAD with classic music,but is medium/good guitarrist.
Yuzo Koshiro TODAY is best for 16 bits.
Yeah, Jun does seem to lean towards a rock sound, even with the digital. I’d rather see more dance-pop-funk style sounds like the older games, but that’s because I enjoy that genre of music more.
Anyway, this is looking nice, can’t wait to play. I hope Sega gives us a demo with a leaderboard to keep me busy in the meantime.
@Maegadriver: If you do that! Film it and post it on youtube!XD
Well! I can’t wait! I don’t know if it’s hype or the sugerrush I have right now that makes me think this is awesome!XD But I like it!!!
Hmm, it is four zones and and 3 acts. 4×3= 12 stages.
And I’ve alredy said it before, but if it’s going to be only 400 MS points as a picture showed….then that’s just awesome! And we have special stages too!
Woah, I like this.
Oh, and if you look closely at one of the screenshots, it shows streaks near Sonic’s feet similar to that of the “figure-eight” animation. So, you people and I got our wish! ^^ But , hey, they also have some screenshots of Sonic 4 in the Sonic 4 article in the newest nintendo power issue. Check it out!
The homing reticule makes sense and it’s also natural lookin in the screen. Imean I want to know what I’m homin at right?
