Overview
Sonic World DX: The Heroes/Adventure style 3D Sonic Fangame you all remember, now even better!
Sonic World DX is a fan game geared towards the Adventures and Heroes fans. It is a very advanced enhancement of the BlitzSonic framework, pushing it to the limits. The game is also very customizable to make everything from the ui, characters or stages to your fitting. One of the game’s focuses is characters. We have tried our best to bring fun and variety with over 15 unique playable characters. The game is looking to mix the best of Sonic games altogether along with new ideas. We hope you enjoy the game and its content! Sonic World DX is built off of the legacy version of Sonic World, adding requested quality of life updates, improved character animation and control, a much more diverse stage roster and expanded mod support.
Playable Characters:
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Miles "Tails" Prower
- Knuckles the Echidna
- Shadow the Hedgehog
- Shadow Android

All characters can harness the energy of the emeralds once unlocked to achieve a superstate, with the following characters having a unique model for their Super State:
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, Blaze, Mighty, Ray, ???, Classic Sonic and Infinite
Like Sonic Heroes, you can play as a team of any three characters of your choosing as well as doubling up and going as a pair, and standard solo play is also available.
Stages
Play through 16 full-fledged stages! Each stage has several unique acts and each act has many different objectives to complete and collectibles to find!
Some stages also contain special "encore" acts, unlocked after clearing every main act. These can drastically shake up the visuals and gameplay of a stage and are meant as a fun bonus for mastering a stage.
Stages also have "challenge" acts which are usually hyper-specific trials or unique gameplay modifiers placed on an already existing act. You can find challenge cards scattered across the island in order to access these levels.

You can buy fruit to level up your Chao's stats, Hats to personalize them, or Toys for the Chao to play with. All of these can be purchased from the Black Market behind the waterfall!
An improvement from Adventure 2 is that Seeds can now be planted by stomping. They have a 10% chance of being dropped by any food a Chao eats.
Winning competitions nets you up to 400 rings you can spend on your Chao! Enter your Chao into Races or Karate to fight Chao of similar levels.
Note that the system isn't as robust as the Official Chao Gardens: No animal parts or Second Evolutions are present here.

The Island is a mysterious hub world that houses several intriguing secrets. NPCs, exclusive stages, unlockable challenge acts, and even characters. Collect red rings throughout the game proper to progress and explore, to see what secrets you can find!
- Encounter talking NPCs that have rarely appeared in Sonic games, such as the GUN Commander or Mr. Know-it-all!
- Collect Mission Cards to play through Challenge Acts, remixing the existing stage roster further.
- Buy Equips in the shop that can either give a helping hand (like magnetising rings) or even an all-new move!

Additional Disclaimers:
- This is a fangame using Blitz3D, a program from 2002. Some compatibility issues may arise on newer hardware. Report these to the Discord where possible.
- Because of this old engine, the game is prone to crashing after an extremely long play sessions. If the background or textures vanish, it is likely the game is about to crash and a restart is recommended.
- This game is designed for keyboard in mind. Controllers are partially supported, but are often buggy. An Xbox controller is recommended if you do want to use a controller. Controls can be rebound in the in-game settings.
