is this normal for a sonic 1 cart?

[Paul-FC]

is this normal for sonic 1 cart because i haven't played sonic 1 for a long time and maybe i just don't remember but does the level line up go like this?
GREEN HILL ZONE
LABYRINTH ZONE
MARBLE ZONE
STAR LIGHT ZONE
SPRING YARD ZONE
SCRAP BRAIN ZONE
FINAL ZONE
because that's the line up on my NOT FOR RESALE cart

No, it goes like this:
Green Hill Zone
Marble Zone
Spring Yard Zone
Labyrinth Zone
Star Light Zone
Scrap Brain Zone
Final Zone

True Level Order

The level order that is used during gameplay is actually quite different from the intended order according to the level slots. The level select in early revisions also arranges the levels in the intended order. Alternately, a simple level select Pro Action Replay code (FFFE10:??00) can be used to verify this:

Level Name   Arrangement
Green Hill Zone    Green Hill Zone (00)
Marble Zone    Labyrinth Zone (01)
Spring Yard Zone    Marble Zone (02)
Labyrinth Zone    Star Light Zone (03)
Star Light Zone    Spring Yard Zone (04)
Scrap Brain Zone    Scrap Brain Zone (05)
Final Zone    Final Zone (05)

Sounds like you have the alternate level order for some reason.  Did you use a cheat code to skip levels?

i used the level select...
but i also played thru some of it so yeah it has that weird line up

Do you still want your Not For Sale Cart?

[Flash1087]

Are all Not For Resale carts supposed to do this? My copy of Sonic 1 is labeled Not For Resale and it has the right order...

[FamicomFreak]

OH yeah that's right if I remember correctly my not for resale does that as well.

[Paul-FC]

Do you still want your Not For Sale Cart?

yes lol

[FamicomFreak]

Yeah I suggest you keep it since it's very odd of the level line up.

Do all not for resale carts ghave this level 1 setup? I might just get one!

[nintendodork]

Good luck, they're not for resale Which means they'll be hard to find

No I've had at least 3 not for resale carts over the years and they were all normal.

[nensondubois]

So this could be a regular one?
