Amy's Sonic Advance 1 moveset makes for a good fit in the original Sonic the Hedgehog, it may even fit better here than it does in Advance thanks to the more pedestrian level design of Sonic 1.

The lack of a roll and spin jump means it is necessary to change how to approach playing the game, and her hammer attacks and acrobatics work in a way that helps things feel familiar enough for casual play whilst allowing for shortcuts and different ways to deal with badniks and bosses to keep the attention of Sonic veterans.
