Amy finally gets her turn—you’re still speeding through classic zones, but now you’re smashing badniks with her hammer instead of spin-dashing. The physics feel different in a good way, like rediscovering a game you thought you knew.

Game Overview

Sonic the Hedgehog 2, developed and published by Sega, was released for the Sega Genesis in 1992. It was a significant title for the platform, building on the momentum of the first game with expanded levels and the introduction of Tails. Amy Rose, however, was not a playable character in the original Genesis release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2; she was introduced later in Sonic CD.

In the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2, you control Sonic or Tails, racing through vibrant, multi-path stages to stop Dr. Robotnik. The main objective is to collect Chaos Emeralds by completing special stages, which are accessed through giant rings hidden in the levels. Signature mechanics include the spin dash, which lets you rev up and burst forward from a standstill, and the ability for a second player to control Tails in a supportive, cooperative role. The game is fast and demanding, with precise platforming and enemy patterns that require quick reflexes. It feels exhilarating to build momentum and navigate the loops and drops that define each zone.
