Sonic The Hedgehog is an adventure racing game where the Sonic flies at a high speed to save the world from the evil character Dr. There are rings that need to be collected regularly because it saves the Sonic from various damages and it also helps in awarding an extra life.
Labyrinth Zone Act 1Try out the following if you need help getting through this room: hop onto one of the moving platforms and jump across the room before Sonic hits the spikes on the ceiling. Try to land on a platform that's going down. Jump quickly up onto the button. That opens the floor so you can continue. Marble Zone Act 2Find the secret room with a 1 UP in it!
Just watch out for those nasty spikes while entering and leaving.Here's a shortcut for the Scrap Brain Zone - Act 3. Follow this map and within a couple of minutes you'll find yourself entering The Final Zone ready to take on Dr. Here's a shortcut for the Scrap Brain Zone - Act 3. Start by jumping on the button. Next, run to the edge of the moving platform and drop over the side onto the slope. Run down the slope and jump up onto the platform to the left of the shallow water. Push the button and go down to the water at the right.
Watch out for the spikes coming out of the walls. Time your jump so you don't hit them. Make your way to the right and jump up onto the platform. Don't try jumping down - you'll have barely enough air to make it through this section. At the space where you can breathe, head right and collect the rings.
After jumping the first hole, go down in the water and pick up some rings, then wait and get a bubble of air. Now, move to the right and time your jumps in order to avoid the spiked ball. Farther up you should be even more careful as there are two more balls to dodge. Once past them, just jump on the spring and launch yourself into the Final Zone. The levels consist of 3 acts in each zone and a boss fight at the end of the third act, after which you move on to the next zone. The graphics were mind blowing for the time. Today, compared to some of the really intricate stuff in Sonic 2 and Sonic and Knuckles they are a little tame but they still look good overall.
The layout of the levels is great, with rolling hills, wide open areas, loops to run through and walls to break. The entire Sonic series is known for its great levels and the original game is no exception. WARNING: HEDGEHOGS APPROACHING AT SONIC SPEEDSYou got it! That super speedy hedgehog with an attitude has just sped his way into the 8-bit market and does he ever have a job to do!
It seems Sonic's friends are beginning to disappear from the homeland. Who could behind such a plot except the evil Dr. Robotnic who is changing Sonic's buddies into robot slaves! Needless to say, Sonic don't play that game!Use your fleeting footpower to run through totally new 8-Bit worlds not seen in Sonic's Genesis adventures!

Sonic is here to jam to some of the hottest 8-Bit action around!
Sonic and the evil Ivo Robotnik have faced off on Genesis, Master System, and in their own comic book. And they're at it again, this time on the portable Game Gear system.Now everyone's favorite hedgehog is not only the fastest video critter in red sneakers, he's everywhere! With the Game Gear edition, video hounds can play this cart not just in homes but in cars, on the streets, in schools, everywhere!As always, Sonic The Hedgehog is a blast and a half to play. Leaping, running, and rolling with lightning speed, Sonic keeps the action hopping and the control buttons bopping through all six great levels, each with three awesome acts.Robotnik has transformed Sonic's animal friends into 10 different kinds of robotic beasts, all with a bloodlust for hedgehogs. It's up to Sonic to smash into these Badniks and free his friends — unless the evil Badniks get him first.
Whenever you see gold rings and shields, grab 'em. They offer Sonic protection from the endless army of attacking Badniks.The gold rings are also Sonic's pass into Bonus Stages — if he has enough, he has a chance to bounce like a ball in a giant pinball machine, ricocheting at a fast and furious pace as he collects more gold rings, continues, and power-ups. But if his brain gets scrambled and his time expires, he loses all. So keep your wits about you.Even if you've played the Genesis version, you'll find some new surprises here.
For one thing, there are three new zones. Also, you'll find chaos emeralds in all zones. And if you thought the Bonus Zones were challenging on Genesis, wait till you try them with a time limit!Sonic zooms up and down the lush hills of the Green Hill Zone, past futuristic palm trees, totem poles, and treacherous valleys filled with piercing spikes. He survives if he can catapult or swing over the spikes. Be on the lookout for Chopper, Motobug, Crabmeat, and the Buzz Bomber. Sonic goes underground to negotiate paths with more spikes and more Badniks.Sonic next faces the Bridge Zone (a new zone), where his jumping is put to the test as bridges give way beneath him.
And while this is going on, Chopper, Spiked Motorbug, and Buzz Bomber are after him. Learn to use the see-saws in this zone for extra high jumps. The second act is especially tricky, when the game scrolls and Sonic has no choice but to keep moving forward,he has very little time to plan his jumps.In the Jungle Zone (another new zone) with exotic red flowers and vines, Sonic has to jump across dangerous rivers — there's little room for jumping goofs here. Newtron joins the Badniks in making Sonic's life difficult.Then it's on to the Labyrinth, where Sonic steps into some gross, green slime and slides into an underwater maze.
Sonic may be great, but he can't breathe underwater! Not only do you have to get him out of there fast (like, before he drowns), you've got to keep an eye out for the hedgehog-chomping Jaws.After his underwater adventure, he has to undergo the Scrap Brain Zone, Robotnik's metallic maze of horror. Conveyor belts transport Sonic to safety.or to his demise. It's very hard to get Sonic through the orange flames and demonic machinery. Sonic can get disoriented and squished all too easily in this zone.Should Sonic live, he comes face to face with Robotnik himself in his immense blue and red fortress of evil in the Sky Base Zone, which is new. Robotnik launches missiles, bullets, laser beams, and Badniks at him.
And then the two square off with each other for the final climactic act.Games like Sonic The Hedgehog don't come around that often, so it's great that all Segaphiles, no matter what machine they jam on, now can get in on the super Sonic action. Sonic The Hedgehog is destined to be one of the all-time classic video games. If you haven't given Sonic a test drive yet, fasten your seat belt and cut him loose!In the Jungle, you can jump to tree branches.
But lookout for the ones with spikes on them.Collect all six chaos emeralds if you want to see the real ending.Use the air bubbles to get through the underwater maze. And get out fast!Take care with those bridges! If Sonic touches the water, it's all over.Move slowly in Robotnik's fortress. For the past several months, a crack team of designers and game players at Sega have been furiously working on their next hero for the Genesis system. What they've created is a delightful little fellow whose unique personality explodes with every minute of gameplay. Now, after exhaustive efforts from Sega, it's time to unveil Sonic The Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis system.Sonic is a character in all senses of the word.
Just from his facial expressions and body language you can tell that this little mammal is stubborn, headstrong, confident, and, to say the least, utterly determined to successfully destroy the dark force that shadows his world.You're probably wondering how Sonic got his name. Well, our little blue friend's ultra-sonic running and jumping abilities are guaranteed to bust the sound barrier wide open. As a matter of fact, to the best of Sega's knowledge, there is no other game character in existence that compares to Sonic's mind- boggling pace. When Sonic gets up to cruising speed, his legs become a blur of red and he is then able to defy the laws of gravity!And for those gamers out there who like to play on the cutting edge, when Sonic grabs the special power sneaker 1-up, this boy displays some serious wheels! In addition to his unclockable speed, Sonic also has the ability to jump, spin, and crush any creature unfortunate enough to get in his way.This was just a little background on Sonic, the character. Now let's take an inside look at his world and the many obstacles he will face.As our game begins, an evil scientist has turned all of Sonic's animal friends into deadly metal warriors of terror, each bent on bringing Sonic's quest to an abrupt end.
Sonic has taken on the unpleasant task of rescuing all of his buddies and disposing of the devil-like scientist responsible for this unspeakable wrongdoing. Sonic must endure six grueling zones (three challenging stages or rounds per zone) and one bonus stage while racing against the clock and collecting as many gold rings as he can along the way. The gold rings allow Sonic to build higher scores, and, if he is able to hold onto fifty or more rings at one time, he will receive a much needed 1-up. Unfortunately, if Sonic either steps on a booby trap or takes a hit from one of his former companions, he will lose all of the rings he is carrying at the time. The zones are complex, and offer a variety of paths to take to complete the rounds.
This may seem difficult, but the terrain in Sonic's world is overflowing with computer monitors containing a wide variety of power-ups, including temporary invincibility, a bubble shield, power sneakers, 1-ups, and gold ring ten-packs.The 3-D zones in Sonic's world are diversified and situate him in every conceivable setting. The scenery is gorgeous, imaginative and unique, with its own obstacles and pitfalls. For example, The Green Hill Zone is blessed with a lush green mountainous landscape, complete with looming palm trees and a turbulent waterfall flowing in the background. In this zone, Sonic encounters a multitude of companions turned warriors.
He will be able to restore these soldiers of doom to their former peaceful selves by hitting them with one of his supersonic spin attacks. While paying careful attention to the enemies obstructing his path, Sonic must also navigate across lands full of collapsing ledges, spike plateaus, and moving grassy platforms.In The Marble Zone, ancient ruins are floating atop an active volcanic lava bed that spews molten fireballs high above the ground. The volcanic eruptions cause the ground to shake, rise and fall without warning.
This zone is so hot that the mere addition of heat from Sonic's body may be enough to cause the grass under his feet to spontaneously combust and turn into a burning bed of flames. The familiar cast of villains is present again to thwart Sonic's efforts. Hidden within the lava is a secret underground passage and the only exit to more new and exciting levels and zones. However, the passage is covered with razor- sharp spikes that jump at you from all angles. Sonic will have to be very careful.Well, gamers, there you have it, a sneak preview of a game cartridge that is sure to take the country by storm.
The graphics and animation are the best yet and Sonic delivers the latest in technical achievements of the gaming industry. Even as you are reading this, the final touches are being placed on Sonic The Hedgehog. Sega is programming some additional interactive features in order to make the game even more enjoyable and addicting.
The recipe for a great hand-held game is pretty simple, but sometimes hard to pull off. Fast-paced game play, crisp graphics that won't leave you blind, and enough challenge to ensure you won't finish the game with one set of batteries seems to be a tough combo for a mighty miniature. Sonic The Hedgehog 2's back for a Game Gear sequel and has everything it takes to make you wanna hold hands with your Game Gear for a good long time. Which Way to the Emerald City?Sure, Sonic finished off the diabolical Ivo Robotnik in the first Sonic The Hedgehog for the Game Gear (See GamePro, February '92). If you thought that was the end of that story, though, you're way wrong.
Robotnik's returned to the forest and kidnapped all the little forest creatures, including Sonic's two-tailed foxy buddy, Tails. To free all the critters from Robotnik's Crystal Egg, Sonic's got to locate all six Chaos Emeralds.The scene is set for seven zones of rip-roarin', multi-scrolling action/adventure that shows off the Game Gear at its best. Sonic runs, rolls, and jumps through the two Acts of each Zone, and then faces off against one of Robotnik's seven deadly robots in each Zone's additional final Act. Hedgehog HandsomeSonic 2's graphics belong in the top ranks of the Game Gear's greatest hits.
The scenery is crisp and clear, and it includes plenty of secret tunnels, loop-to-loops, and interesting underwater areas. Sonic's a small sprite, but his movements are well-animated and easy to follow.What's new and different to see? Try the loop-to-loops for one. Then, check out the deadly spinning Flywheels in the Gimmick Mountain and Crystal Egg Zones. While you're at it, eyeball Sonic's new rides: the Railcarts in the Under Ground Zone, the Hang Gliders in the Sky High Zone, and the Bubbles in the Aqua Lake Zone.The game play is Sonic all the way, simple to learn and easy to control for the most part. However, Sonic's a feisty character.
Master the subtleties of his movements, or you'll roll into some serious and frustrating trouble. Ring Around the RodentPer standard Sonic, you grab Rings and special Monitors to earn different types of power-ups and you must always have at least one Ring in your possession.
One hundred Rings still earns you a 1-up, but this version of the game doesn't have any Bonus rounds. Sonic can also search for Super 10 Ring Monitors, Power Sneakers, Invincibility Monitors, and 1-ups. Rodentia DementiaEven the speediest of Sonic players won't blow through this Game Gear adventure in one sitting. As in all the Sonic adventures, you can attempt to fly through the Zones, but you're not gonna beat the game without the six Chaos Emeralds. To up the challenge, Sonic begins the third Act of each Zone without Rings-and he won't find any either. He's got to fight each Robotnik robot without a single Ring in reserve. This means one hit, and you're out.
Although frustrating, this also ensures that the bosses are tougher to beat than prior Robotnik incarnations. The Little Hedgehog that CouldSonic The Hedgehog obviously has what it takes to be more than a long-term contender in the video game arena. This latest success story's got the game play, the graphics, and the guts to ensure that Sonic will continue to be the title holder in the Game Gear division.
ProTips:. The date scrolls up when Sonic jumps.
This often makes it impossible for Sonic to see what's below him. Look carefully before you leap and beware of jumping in areas with moving critters below you. The first Chaos Emerald is in the upper far-right comer of the Under Ground Zone's Act 1. Sonic still likes to rock and roll-right through solid walls. Search for areas where the bricks or blocks are smaller or different This usually indicates a spot where you can break through the walls.
Defeat Robotnik's first robot by simply leaping over all of its cannonball shots. After his last adventure, everyone's favorite hog sat back, unlaced histennies, and prepared fora little R 'n' R. Now he's got good news and bad news. The bad news is that Sonic's arch-nemesis, Doctor Robotnik, is back to avenge his defeat in the original Sonic The Hedgehog. The good news? This means another super speedy handheld adventure for Sonic fans everywhere. Rock the DocThis time around, Doc R has cooked up a fiendish Death Egg.
This cracked weapon will destroy the entire world if Sonic doesn't manage to scramble it in time.Prepare to conquer six new hard-boiled levels of Sonic-style action. The vertically- and horizontally-scrolling side-view game play features that old familiar Sonic fun, as well as some ultra-cool new means of locomotion for his Hedge-hogness.
Yup, the dude with a 'tude takes to the skies, grabs some wheels, and gets upside down, just to make some smokin' tracks with his trademark tennies. Sonic's also got a cool new foxy buddy, Tails, who makes cameo appearances throughout the game. Sonic Soon-to-BeSonic The Hedgehog 2 is speeding to a Game Gear near you this November.
We'll have a complete review on the game in an upcoming issue of GamePro. In the meantime, kick back, unlace your tennies, and check it out. Now that Sega's official sultan of speed, Sonic The Hedgehog, has officially zipped onto retail shelves across the country, it's time to see just what makes the speed meister tick in this sizzling sequel. Better the Second Time AroundEverything gets better with practice, and Sega's proving that with a more than suitable sequel to 1991's Game of the Year. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is everything you loved about Sonic The Hedgehog, plus more - more Zones, more enemies, more companions, more play modes, and more players.Sonic was set for early retirement, ready to rest on the laurels of his '91 achievements.
Unfortunately, Dr. Robotnik (Sonic's arch-enemy) decided to play it fast and loose with the forest creatures one more time. This time, the bad doctor's hatched a new sinister weapon, the Death Egg. Sonic's got to scramble the Doc's cracked plot, or the forest and its creatures are cooked.Tough luck for Sonic, but great news for Sonic lovers everywhere.
Fans of the personable homehog will be delighted to discover that Sonic isn't gonna battle the Doc solo. This perky two- tailed creature of the fox persuasion is about the cutest companion that any Sonic fan could ask for. In the one-player mode, Tails tags along and does his best to help Sonic by grabbing rings and whomping bad guys. In the innovative two-player mode, Tails and Sonic work cooperatively or go head-to-head competitively in a unique split-screen format.
Although the split-screen's tough to follow due to its small size and the super speed of the characters, it's an interesting change of pace. ProTip: Make Tails help you in one-player mode. Jump towards an enemy, and then leap back. Tails will usually leap forward and do the dirty work. Some Things Change, Others Remain the SameExperienced players will recognize some of the locales from the first game, like the Emerald Hill Zone.
However, Sonic 2's eight Zones (with two stages apiece) are packed with imaginative and original, new scenery. If you thought you saw it all in Sonic The Hedgehog, 'you ain't seen nothing yet.'
For example, Sonic rides through vacuum tubes in a Chemical Plant, zips across corkscrew speedways in the Emerald Hill Zone, frolics through giant pinball and slot machines in the Casino Zone, and swings from vines in the Mystic Cave Zone.Sonic 2's game play mechanics are the same as Sonic 1's with a few cool exceptions. The dude with a 'tude still skims, jumps, grabs rings and power- ups, and races across the screen. Only this time around, if you can believe it, he's even faster!
When you hit the Chemical Zone, Sonic streaks across the screen at speeds never-before-seen in a video game. The mighty hedgehog also has a new secret weapon - the Spin- Dash.
Just push Down and hit Button C to make Sonic rev up for super dashes that'll take him where no hedgehog has gone before. In Sonic The Hedgehog it was always a good idea to carry at least one ring. This advice is twice as good in Sonic The Hedgehog 2!Sonic 2's graphics are actually better than the original's. The rich variety of scenery, slightly larger sprites, and extra added attitude help the spunky hedgehog paint video game magic. Sonic's music isn't quite as impressive through. The tunes have a slightly tinny quality at times, but there's a new and improved theme song for each of the Zones.
Simple SonicIf there's a downside to Sonic The Hedgehog 2, it's that the game's just not tough enough. Players of all levels will be able to work their way through most of the game in relatively short order. Robotnik's mechanical animals are abundant in some levels, other levels, like the Casino Zone, are sparsely populated. Per usual, Dr.
Robotnik's bad boss incarnations at the end of each level are imaginative but relatively easy to beat.Fortunately, each level is large and features many different paths and many delightful surprises. It's easy to whiz through a Zone. The challenge and the fun lies in uncovering all of the Zone's hidden secrets. Every time the cracked Doctor appears, Sonic has to figure out how to bonk him eight times to send him packing.
In the Hill Top Zone, jump, curl into a super Sonic bullet, and bonk him 'til he's done for.Gamers who sail straight through all of the zones have another surprise in store for them. You'll only see the game's true ending if you snag all the Chaos Emeralds from Bonus Rounds that are scattered along the way. Sonic and Tails enter Bonus Rounds by tagging special signposts scattered throughout each Zone. Then they take off in a tunnel race, where they try to snatch a specific number of rings. You view the 3-D action from behind the speedy duo, as you try to grab rings and dodge what look like bowling balls. Theoretically, the Genesis isn't capable of scaling, but Sonic's Bonus Rounds are gonna make you wonder!. When you enter a Bonus Round, you lose all your rings.
If you're close to 100 rings, which earn a 1-up, you might want to skip the Bonus Round - unless you're hunting for Chaos Emeralds!. Don't forget to jump. You can grab high-flying rings and dodge the bowling ball-like obstacles. To beat Dr. Robotnik in the Chemical Zone, position Sonic on the yellow platform in the middle of the screen.
When Robotnik appears on either side of the screen, bounce and bash him two times. Then duck and cover. If Sonic's ducking, Robotnik's evil chemicals won't hurt him.Aquatic Ruin Zone. Destroy Robotnik in the Aquatic Zone by jumping on the arrows that lodge in the pillars.
From there, it's an easy jump to hit Robotnik. Don't forget to dodge the next flying arrow.
More of a Good ThingIt's tough to follow a classic, but Sonic The Hedgehog 2 earns top honors. There's enough stuff that's new and different in Sonic 2 to make it a must-have game for fans of the original.
Probably the best thing about Sonic 2 is that it's just plain fun. Beginning and hardcore gamers alike will enjoy this fast-paced romp with His Hedgehogness and Tails. We can't wait to see what Sonic's gonna do on CD. In the meantime, Sonic 2 gives ya plenty of fabulous gaming to pass the time.
The Casino Zone's a great place to rack up a few free lives. Between the tons of rings and the slot machines, where you can score big with extra rings, it's easy to rack up 100 rings for a 1-up. In Aquatic Zone 2, there seems to be a dead end to the far right of the bottom of the water. Bounce off the yellow button to ricochet around the 180, and knock the top of the column.
It will then drop low enough for Sonic to use as a springboard to catapult him onto the higher ledge to the right. Defeat Dr.
Robotnik in the Mystic Cave Zone by dodging the falling stalagtites (don't worry - the rocks won't hurt you). Then nail him twice each time he lowers his spikes. In the Mystic Cave Zone, nail the glow bug creatures when they're NOT glowing. The fans in the Oil Ocean can make you blow where you don't want to go.and also where you do want to go!
Use them to your advantage. The oil's pretty gooey on the Oil Ocean's surface. When Sonic falls into it, keep jumping and you might be able to leap to a safe ledge. At the end of, Dr. Robotnik's Scrap Brain facility was destroyed, but the evil doctor narrowly escaped.Now Robotnik is back and plans to conquer the world once more. He secretly follows Sonic's biplane, the Tornado, to his vacation spot, Westside Island.
According to legend, an ancient civilization once abused the power of seven 'power stones' on Westside Island. Sonic meets a peculiar two-tailed fox named Miles Prower, better known as 'Tails'.
The two become good friends. Meanwhile, Robotnik begins his search for the Chaos Emeralds to fuel his new Death Egg engine.
One afternoon, he launches his full-scale attack on the island. He imprisoned all the animals of the island and turned them into mindless worker drones.
Fortunately, Sonic will thwart the Doctor's plans at all cost. This time, he isn't alone, as Tails decides to aid him. Together they must locate the Emeralds before Robotnik does, and put an end to this diabolical scheme. Everyone's favorite hedgehog is back in this second installment of the Sonic series.
This time, Sonic has enlisted the help of his buddy Tails to help him in his fight against the evil Dr. Robotnik!This awesome sequel gives you more levels, better graphics and a two player split-screen option for double the fun! There is still tons of hidden stuff for you to search for as well as some incredible new obstacles like the infamous 'corkscrew'.Cruise through tubes, jump over traps, and even hop aboard a biplane in a super-Sonic quest to stop Dr.
Robotnik once and for all. It's finally here! The Hedgehog with an attitude has just been released!As promised, here is a look al this incredible game!

And if you think what we've here is good, wait until, you see next issue! More levels, more pix and more fun!. Difficulty: Hard. Available: November 1992. No. Of Levels: 35+. Theme: ActionThe world's fastest video game character is back and he's even faster than ever!
Sonic made his debut last year on the Genesis and took the video game world by storm. The little blue hedgehog, capable of mind-blowing speeds and incredible moves, sent Genesis to the top of the video game market.
Sonic even won the coveted title of Video Game of the Year by none other than Electronic Gaming Monthly.Now, the same development team that created the first blockbuster cart is working on the sequel. This cart promises to have even more action, enemies and levels. Sonic's maximum speed will be even higher than the first cart. One of the main features of this new cart is the addition of a character known as Tails. Tails is a little fox with two tails.
He likes to mimic all of Sonic's moves. He doesn't quite have Sonic's speed, but for a 41/2-year-old, he learns quickly. He may even be faster than Sonic someday! The great part about Tails is that he brings the option of having two players to Sonic's game. The game will be split into almost 35 levels and will feature time travel. Sonic and Tails will venture through prehistoric swamplands and futuristic cities filled with pollution. Electronic Gaming Monthly is here with the first in-depth look at this great cart, so check out the next few pages for the inside scoop on Sonic 2.
SONICSonic has been working out and he's super-fast. He's about 16 years old now, and his attitude is getting worse: he's a lead foot and he doesn't even have a driver's license! He's gotten so fast that he can even travel through time! TAILSTails is a unique little fox. His two tails always seem to get in the way when he tries to mimic Sonic's fast-blast take off.
He idolizes Sonic and follows him wherever he goes. For 4 1/2, he sure is fast. I wonder if he'll ever be faster than Sonic? Robotnik is back with more dirty tricks up his sleeves. After he was thwarted by Sonic in the first adventure, he has since created a whole new army of robot creatures.
His master creation is the monstrous 'Death Egg'. MORE LEVELS, MORE ENEMIES, MORE FUN!Sonic 2 is, without a doubt, going to be one of the greatest action carts for the Genesis. There will be many new aspects to the game play.
The developers of the game are keeping the contents of the game under the highest security though. One of the game play elements that we are excited about is Sonic's ability to travel through time when he reaches warp-sonic speed. We don't know exactly where or how Sonic is going to travel through time, but prehistoric and futuristic levels are a must.
Sonic may do super spins over the back of a brontosaurus or zip through the tubes of some futuristic robot factory. The last level will be a battle against Dr. Robotnik and his hideous Death Egg. The Death Egg is an immense star-like fortress and has the ability to destroy Sonic's entire home planet. The background graphics will be even better than before, with tons of parallax scrolling and plenty of ultra-high-speed action. The two-player option also adds to the playability.
Look for this hot cart to be released in November 1992. Sonic 2 is shaping up to be quite a sizzler! Go to the Options by pressing the pad DOWN twice at the title screen. Make sure you are playing 'Sonic and Tails.'
Go into the game and using controller 2, move the pad in any direction, or press any button and you will see that you can move Tails anywhere on the screen separately from Sonic! This will make it easier to work as a team and complete the game.
Also, since Tails cannot die, you can use him to defeat the bosses and just have Sonic avoid them. If you want to go back to the one player mode, just leave Tails alone and he will go back to following Sonic. What's faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings with a single bound? Well, him too, but we're talking about. Sega of America's bringing their speedy dude with a 'tude back for an 8-meg Genesis encore.
Rock the DocDr. Robotnik's back and, per usual, he's making trouble for Sonic and all of his buddies.
The diabolical doc has invented a 'Death Egg'. Sonic's got to crack the case and fry Dr. Before the Death Egg scrambles the world.
In the process, he's gonna go back and forth through time, putting some heavy wear on his high tops.Sonic 2 has the same speed, cool graphics, and trademark tennies that made the original game a groundbreaker. In addition, Sonic's got a new buddy-a foxy guy with two tails called, appropriately, 'Tails!' Are we talking two-player action? Well, only Sega knows for sure. And they're not ready to talk. But, it's gotta take some mighty fancy programming to make a game as fast as Sonic work as a simultaneous two-player. Here's hoping they can!
