About this game

The expanded version of Sonic the Hedgehog present in Sonic Jam. The main change is that Sonic is now able to use the Spin Dash, not present in the original game, changing the gameplay flow.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a 2D side-scrolling platformer developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Players control Sonic the Hedgehog, who can run at near supersonic speeds and sets out on a quest to defeat Dr. Robotnik, a scientist who has imprisoned animals in robots and seeks the powerful Chaos Emeralds.

In his attempt to steal the six Chaos Emeralds and harness their power, the mad scientist Doctor Robotnik has trapped the animal inhabitants of South Island inside aggressive robots and stationary metal capsules. Sonic the Hedgehog sets out to thwart Robotnik's plans by freeing his animal friends and collecting the emeralds himself.
