DESCRIPTION
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 follows in the same speedy footsteps as the original masterpiece, Sonic the Hedgehog. Once again, players run, jump, and spin the blue hedgehog through a bizarre world of metal robots created by Dr. Robotnik, avoiding obstacles, trouncing enemies, and collecting rings and the elusive Chaos Emeralds. (Earning all seven emeralds turns Sonic into Super Sonic). While the basic action remains essentially the same, the levels are longer, the colors are brighter and more varied, all the zones are new (including the dazzling Casino Zone and the inventive Aquatic Ruin Zone), and the game introduces a new character: Tails the fox. Tails is relatively useless in the standard game (he simply follows along, helping collecting rings and defeating the occasional enemy), but he is a playable character in the special two-player split-screen race mode — which is marred by slowdown, but remains a fairly enjoyable diversion. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 also introduces a new move (the Spin Dash) and a new special stage: a challenging, pseudo-3D race through tubes to collect rings. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

“Trying my hand at HD-Sprites. Yes, I know it's too big. Yes, I know it's missing the base. There are reasons for this and I don't plan on telling them any time soon.”

“This was the height of the franchise and one of my favorite games when I was younger. While three was good, I think after that the series went downhill. Quickly. Really far.”

“Ah, Sonic 2...I have so much love for this game, some people hate it nowadays, but I think it will always be special to me. The stages were so fun and it was really exciting when it first game out. 2-Player mode rocked as well.”

“This was the pinnacle of hedgehog/2d platforming on the genesis. part 1 was a breath of fresh air. part 2 was the ultimate convergence of speed, platforming, speed, hedgehogginess, and speed. in that order.”

“I've never been a big fan of the Sonic gameplay, but this is the best of the old games. Tails is a great addition to the already perfectly tweaked and fast-paced gameplay.”

“Awesome game. Bringing in Tails and allowing for co-op was really cool at the time, despite the poor (in today's standards) gameplay had by the person playing Tails. Classic game and a must-play.”
