How to Upload a Custom Character in Sonic FGX

Sonic FGX is a free fan game for the computer based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" characters by Sega. The game features the ability to upload custom characters which can be used instead of the default characters that are included. Custom character files are in the animated GIF format and must be placed in the same folder as the game files. In order to make use of the custom character upload feature, the game must be downloaded to your computer first.
