Somari

Somari (Russian: Сомари; also known as Somari the Adventurer) is an unlicensed port of Sega's flagship video game Sonic the Hedgehog, produced for the Nintendo Famicom and sold primarily around Asia, Russia, and other regions where pirate Famicom cartridges were distributed, in 1994. The game features a character named "Somari" - Nintendo's mascot Mario wearing Miles "Tails" Prower's shoes. The character's name is a portmanteau of "SOnic" and "MARIo".

Plot

The plot of Somari borrows heavily from that of the first Sonic title. Somari the Adventurer, an Italian plumber with distinct visual similarities to Mario, has become lost in his plumbing pipes and has emerged in Mobius. While wandering through the landscape Somari encounters numerous roboticized animals that begin to attack him. These robotic animals, the creations of the mad Dr. Robotnik, are part of a scheme plan to convert all animals (including rabbits and sparrows) into evil robots. Attempting to put an end to these transformations, Somari progresses through six zones - each comprising three acts - to finally defeat Dr. Robotnik. Somari travels through Green Hill Zone, Marble Zone, Spring Yard Zone, Labyrinth Zone, Star Light Zone, and Final Zone. Along the way Somari must defeat legions of evil robot animals and must tangle with Dr. Robotnik himself five times. After Dr. Robotnik is defeated, Somari frees the helpless rabbits, sparrows, and other non-robotic animals. During the ending, Dr. Robotnik can be seen juggling the Chaos Emeralds stating "I will be back."
