Someone remade Sonic the Hedgehog's Green Hill Zone for Game Boy, and I want to play it right now

Sonic the Hedgehog.

As homemade projects go, this is a fun one. A game dev has recreated Sonic the Hedgehog 1 for the Game Boy, designing music and animations that echo Green Hill Zone (the first and some might say most iconic scene from the original Sonic game). Usually seen in technicolour on a Sega console, like the Mega Drive or Master System, this project brings a slightly simpler vibe as it is presented in black and white for the smaller screen of Nintendo's Game Boy.

Using a game maker studio called GB Studio that doesn't appear on our list of the best game development software (but we're looking into it), YouTuber RetroSilver draws out the level and adds in famous game elements such as the rings, trees and creatures, resulting in a mostly-pretty-accurate Game Boy game experience. The video (see it below) takes you through the process in quite a lot of detail, and it's an entertaining watch. See it below.
