Player Experience Highlights

Community Insight:

Ever since we downloaded the classic, sonic the hedgehog was just part of the fun. We like the way you get to play as sonic and tails at the same time! And we like the fact that how sonic and his team has their own special abilities. Im giving this a 10/10.

This clearly changed our life, because after all the years of being a sonic fan we saw the plus button we clicked it and guess what it showed sonic and tails we were really excited. We got sad when tails lose. Other than that, its really fun try for yourself.

Sonic Origins Plus Universe Is Universe 1 And Therefore The Main Universe. Sonics Mobile Ports Are This Universe In Which Instead Tails Is Actually A Girl And Is Married To Sonic. Tails can only whisperplus she only says tails and says it softly. She is only loud if crying. Super sonic = Sonic pretending to be Superman. Sonic is tails husband. Eggman is so evil that every day he kills more and more animals by feeding them all to robots.

This is a good game so we got all of 7 chaos emeralds and then we got super form.

Ignoring the name im gonna review the original one instead of the mobile one because you cant stop us SONIC 2 IS PEAK NOTHING ELSE SAID.

We really think that you should add a sonic 3 & knuckles games for iOS.

So, When we were little, we downloaded this game on our Amazon Fire Tablet and LOVED it. Sure the Death Egg Robot may or may not have made us want to burn a city down, but this game is the sold reason we liked Retro Games.

When we were a kid(and we still am)we lived playing sonic games THIS IS PEAK ABSOLUTE CINEMA.

Sega fans, get ready for a new game of Sonic. This game includes a lot of animations of characters in the original Sonic game,as well as some extra hidden levels. Although its not entirely the best Sonic game, but its still just the perfect game to enjoy. Sega has included new characters such as: Tails, and Knuckles. Sit down and enjoy this fantastic Sonic game.

We just unlocked debug mode with the code 01 09 09 02 01 01 02 04 and we tried with sonic,tails,knuckles,& sonic & tails and when we hit the s motertor we turn super sonic or super tails or super knuckles.

Our kiddo and Sonic he loves it he loves to beat eggman.

The game for us is 1000 out of thousand we mean this game is so cool mania that was made in 2016. We were born in 2016. Im reading this game in nine years old.

We were scrolling through the App Store. Trying to look with sonic CD, but we couldnt find it. It was weird. At first. We screwed the more, but nothing appeared.

We wonder why you didnt have the hyper form.

Ive always wanted to play sonic cd but you guys removed it right as we got the chance. Please, at least want to be able to play it on Netflix games or Apple Arcade at least just please, we wanna play it so badly.

The joystick is just, AMAZING AS IS! You can barely move it, and if youre handless THE JOYSTICK IS PERFECT FOR YOU! Oh and the texture is just beautiful too.

We LEARNED HOW TO GET DEBUG MODE SO GOOD.

This is awesome and we love it because it is so nostalgic and reminds us of the old genesis games.

We love this game It is amazing with its top speed and cool game mechanics total classic and its a great game to pass some time us and our brother love to play this game but it will be cool if you add multiplayer but we love it.

We may be young but this is a classic.

We love playing the game and its fun but idk if its just us or its the game but the controls feel a little more slippery in the special stages idk if its a skill issue or its just us but we still love this game.

Good game use to play when we were little we collected all chaos emeralds and turn super good game.

IM IN LOVE WITH IT SO MUCH we CANT STOP PLAYING!!! We LOVE THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO EARN TAILS AND KNUCKLES!!! 8 almost 9 and got it at 7 years old! THANK YOU SO MUCH we LOVE SEGAAAAA.

This game is amazing! The first sonic game to have super sonic and checkpoints are SPECIAL STAGES?! PEAK One of the second bestseller games from sega.

So, our characters Sonic+tails and Sonic are stuck in chemical plant 2, every time we get to the boss fight some reason the chemicals will not hit us but it counts it as a hit for some reason.

We are a sonic fan we love Sonic and always and this is a good game we love how you can turn into super Sonic and we play like almost every Sonic game we love sega.

There is too much ads and too much lag we suppose remove some unnecessary and innapropiate ads since this has been a problem for us. But the game itself we super good an OG very enjoyable and fun.

The whole game is great but trying to get the emerald is basically hell, the special stages feels too challenging for too little fun. As long as your not trying to get emeralds and just want to play the game normally then this is a good classic game.

We love Sonic 2 but Im putting 4 stars because we cant earn achievements and we really like Sonic 2 achievements so we really have that problem. But always SEGA doing excellent Sonic games! Thanks SEGA for porting this game to mobile.

It was good but we dont like how you have 1 life like the originals.

We played this and wow it was super good. We just like how you get to be sonic tails knuckles, and those for free but theres just two things. We dont like number one. We just dont like how does like ads on each round.

Please bring it back ok? We want it back. We love sonic 4 2.

You do debug mode by 1992 11 24 Super Easy 4126.

We love this game. Our favorite character has to be sonic because he can go, but we want there to be a super peel out ability in the game, but and we want there to be Amy to be playable, but thisgame is really really good. Download the game now.

This game brings back memories from the saga.

Brings us back to our memories when we were younger very good game, does include bunch of ads its pretty good, download it very good.

Sonic 2 is the best game ever created by sera.

We grew up with this game on the mega collection, so we were super happy when we were able to get the mobile version! They did a great job with making the controls fairly easy and giving you the same experience on mobile that you would get on console! Ive always loved classic Sonic games and this is one of our favorite video games of all time.

It was so fun we got all the emeralds with each character.

We Love The Game And Sonic Talls And Im Getting A Sega Genesis.

If sonic 2 it wasnt for everyone it wouldnt have allmost no people on it.

We love the sonic franchise, but PLEASE REMOVE SOME OF THE BADNIKS IN SKY CHASE ITS ANNOYING THAT we DIE EVERY SECOND.

One time we lost our favorite sonic game from the PlayStation we were so devastating sad but then we got our phone typed in sonic so this game cant be that good. Its really fun and get back the old styles and we love this game because it has knuckles and tails and sonic and the mixup, this is truly a incredible.

We like no ads and one codespark ad CAME OUT and we HATE CODESPARK still good game though.

We like playing sonic the hedgehog two beat it but PLS BRING BACK SONIC CD.

Come on crack smasher this is the best game ever debug mode was sick,we cant wait for the nextSONIC GAME.

We like the game more improve then sonic 1 because you unlock all 3 characters in sonic 1 you need to beat the game to unlock the 2 characters in sonic 1 but sonic 2 is better because you can compete with players in 1 vs 1 first to complete the course.

@origiginalsonic hows the game.

Hello saga can you add a super tails feature but over it is the best we have played every Sonic game in existence no kidding.

The game does a great job at porting the game to mobile, in addition to making some good changes. However, we think ours is bugged. Im currently playing Wing Fortress Zone as sonic, but we cant get past the part with the disappearing platforms. We swear they dont appear on time, and we just fall to our death because we have nowhere to stand. Its extremely infuriating as it worked fine with knuckles and tails.
