Here's the game info, enjoy.

Prologue:

As Sonic the Hedgehog falls from the sky, he wonders what really happened to Robotnik when he got away on Doomsday. He finds out that the Death Egg has been resurrected, and with the aid of UNSC(the army of Mobius, led by Tail's father), he aims to destroy it. However, Sonic will not end his journey there. He will face a bigger foe than Robotnik or the Death Egg.

Information:

Made with Game Maker 6.1 unregistered version(for 6 months, then I got registered, so it won't have many Registered functions),Sonic Mystic Machine is my first game. This game is made with my very own engines, including the Soul Ware Sky Chase Engine and the Sonic Mystic Machine Engine (Not released, never will be), which have been heavily modified from the obselete downloadable versions on my host-a.net account. The Sonic Mystic Machine Engine is made with a heavily edited Sonic Z (All editing done by me), made originally by Double X/Alex Z. It takes place right after Sonic and Knuckle's Doomsday Zone, but Sonic has lost the emeralds. Sonic is falling from the sky when we start. I know alot of you Sonic Mystic Machine fans have been wanting me to create just one game, so here it is.This was a very large task because I had many things to add and fix. I also had to recreate every single level. Also, I had to change the music from MP3 to MIDI because the file was too large for Game Maker. I also changed up the story and took out some levels, added autosave and continuation, added well made bosses, and made many other additions, so this game should be better than any of the Parts were. This game has taken 8 months to make, making this the longest "project" I have ever worked on in my life. Those 8 months have been spent wisely, greatly enhancing this game! I hope this will be a great Sonic fanmade game!

Autosave Feature:

The game will automatically save your data whenever you get to the end of a level, or if you get a Chaos or Super Emerald. To load your data,  go to the title screen and select "Load." If you have no save data, the screen will display an error mesage.

My Website:

Here's my website location:
http://soulwarecreations.wetpaint.com/
If you have any questions, just post them on my forum(i.e. controls, how I made the game, how to put in cheats, etc.). At the website there are lots of cool things, like game cheats, future Soul Ware releases, game photos, the link to my download center, and the Forums.

Here are the controls:

Space Bar: Jump
Left: Move left
Right: Move right
Control Key(Ctrl): When you are on a rail, hold this button down and you speed up
Down and Space Bar: Spin dash,and, to keep on going while in spindash, hold down the right or left keys, depending on the direction you want to go
Alt Key: Pause the game
Alt Key(While Paused): Unpause the game

For better and more detailed controls, go to the Download Center on my website and download the Sonic Mystic Machine Guide.

Continuing:

If you get 5000 points, you will earn a continue. The score will reset and a sound will play. If you run out of lives, you can use your continue to gain three more and continue playing that same level. If you do not have a continue, however, you will go to the Game Over screen, and you will be asked to replay or exit the game.

Cheats:

There are many cheats in this game, and you can find them all at my website. One of the cheats is the (9) key, allowing you to skip a level.

Passwords:

There is a special password chamber, but you must find it yourself. You must also figure out the passwords by yourself. One is revealed after the credits. There are more, but they must be figured out by yourself.

Sound Test:

Once you find out the key to get to this feature, use the left and right keys to scroll through the music, which is represented by numbers. Use enter to play, and use backspace to leave the Sound Test.

Guides:

I may possibly create a guide three weeks after the release that will:

tell how I came to make this game
show the story
explain the games story compared to real sonic comic, game, and show stories
reveal Emerald Locations, including the Master Emerald
contain all Cheats
contain spoilers for Sonic Mystic Machine 2
contain character biographies
reveal the quickest routes in an Act
show what methods are most effective to defeat a boss
explain what a boss will do
explain how everything ties in with the story
tell the secret things hidden in the game, including secret items, secret end rings, and cameos
let you know all of the possible endings
show you all the controls for every controlable character in the game, including Surfing Sonic, Super Sonic(s), and the Tornado

Credits:

I would like to thank TurboX for being an awesome friend and supporter. I would also like to thank the creator of GM, Mark Overmars, because without GM this wouldn't have been possible. I would also like to thank The Mystical Forest Zone for sprites, backgrounds, and ideas. VGMusic should be heavily credited for all of the excellent Midi files I downloaded from their website. The full credits, which have many other things that are credited, are at the end of the game.

Here is a link to the game in it's preview stage, which means it will be updated every week and show the player my progress of each week.
