Sonic Robo Blast is a 2-D computer fangame based on Sonic the Hedgehog. It's the first in the Sonic Robo Blast series, pre-dating Sonic Robo Blast 2.
Unlike SRB2, which was developed on the Doom Legacy engine in C, SRB1 was, as the manual says, "made 95% with Klik & Play, and the rest of the 5% (largely compiling) was made with Games Factory." It was a sole venture by Sonikku, who still has a leading role in SRB2's development. SRB2, on the other hand, is a venture of multiple people, including SSNTails.
Despite being primitive and seriously buggy, SRB1 is an early milestone in Sonic fan games, mainly because of its large amount of secrets, and hence it was made an enduring classic in the Sonic Fan Games community. It is also renowned for being one of the first Sonic fangames ever.
A remake is now included as a secret in Sonic Robo Blast 2, though it's currently missing the bosses and some stages.

Sonic Robo Blast had a very large amount of stages.
When the game is completed, the player is given the password to access the super levels. There is a hidden exit in the second stage here to access the third.
When the super levels are completed, the player then gets a password to go to the hyper levels. Again, there is a hidden exit in the second stage to reach the third.
Sonic Robo Blast was well known for having a lot of secrets, including hidden zones and even a minigame.
On the title screen, click near the upper right corner of the screen to access the cheat menu. The cheat menu contains an option to start the game with 99 lives, 999 rings, and/or 1 life, as well as the option to start the game with The Ultimate Cheat, which is an in-joke that began in this game.
Note: To start the game with one of the cheats, and use one of the level passwords to skip to a certain level, first activate the cheat, then while in game use the password.
