Tails, as it turns out, loves machinery, and he is fascinated by Sonic's plane. It's here Sonic runs in to a shy, two-tailed fox named Miles - Sonic nicknames him "Tails" for obvious reasons. Intrigued, Sonic lands his biplane, the Tornado, on the island. As punishment, they sealed the emeralds away in an alternate dimension called "The Special Zone". Eventually, this power corrupted the civilization, and this angered the Gods greatly. This civilization were given seven "Chaos Emeralds" of great power as a gift from the Gods. It was eventually he found himself at West-side Island, said to be home to a lost civilization. Not content just exploring his home of South Island, Sonic the Hedgehog's adventures took him all over the globe. In this form Sonic becomes even faster and rather than his usual blue is colored a bright yellow. Collect all 7 and Sonic would be able to transform into Super Sonic. If he had enough rings when he hit the checkpoint then he would continue until eventually obtaining a Chaos Emerald. The special stages were done on a endless half-pipe which Sonic ran forward on collecting rings and avoiding enemies. Rather than having three acts and a boss fight (as in Sonic 1), Sonic 2 features only two acts per level, with some exceptions (Metropolis Zone features three acts, Sky Chase, Wing Fortress, and Death Egg all feature a single act each).Ĭhaos Emeralds also returned from the original, offering up an additional 7th Emerald (instead of the original game's 6).
Beyond those two additions, however, gameplay for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 remains relatively the same the goal is still to get to the end of a level as quickly as possible, while destroying as many enemies and collecting as many rings as possible. After revving up enough, the player could stop pressing down to get a burst of speed while staying rolled into a ball. By ducking and pressing the jump button, Sonic would rev up in ball form. Tails could also follow Sonic around in single player mode, and could be controlled by plugging in a second Genesis gamepad.Īrguably the most dramatic improvement is the implementation of the Spin-dash. The new character allowed a simple 2-player competitive mode, borrowing levels from the single player to add a much needed multi-player component. The most drastic change was the introduction of a sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower. Sonic 2 is very similar to the original, but builds on many of the concepts and ideas introduced in the first title while piling on nearly twice the number of levels. A year after the original Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 burst on to the scene.
