What Is Sonic The Hedgehog | SNES?

Sonic the Hedgehog is a high-speed platformer built around momentum-based traversal and ring collecting.

Every stage features multiple routes, encouraging players to experiment with vertical or horizontal shortcuts.

Rings act as both currency and life insurance—taking damage spills them, so recollect them quickly.

Key Features

  • Fast-paced running with loop-de-loops and corkscrews.
  • Hidden bonus stages triggered by collecting enough rings.
  • Boss battles each act with Robotnik’s themed contraptions.
  • Speed shoes and shields that alter Sonic’s abilities temporarily.
  • Memorable 16-bit soundtrack accompanying each zone.
