Before the rings, the chaos emeralds, or even the concept of Super Sonic, there was just speed. With the release of Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Genesis in 1991, SEGA’s spiky new mascot sprinted straight into gaming history. Now, the classic Sonic the Hedgehog arcade game has returned as a mobile game, reborn in widescreen and enhanced with improved performance, with the game’s legendary soundtrack intact.
This isn’t just a version of the original Sonic, it’s a slick remake where Sonic the Hedgehog now plays faster, cleaner, and with new twists. You can now play as Sonic’s friends Tails and Knuckles for the first time in the classic Sonic campaign, using their flight and climbing skills to explore levels like Green Hill in fresh ways. Collect rings, dash through loop-de-loops, and unlock special stages as you chase 50 rings to snag that elusive emerald.
Originally featured in Sonic Jam, the spin dash is back too, adding another layer of velocity to the already frantic gameplay. Whether you're revisiting a treasure trove of free SEGA classics or diving in for the first time, this is the Sonic the Hedgehog game that defines the Sonic series.
