Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Spin-Dashes onto Android with a New Zone

Posted in: Today's Chili

I have vivid memories of playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the SEGA Genesis with my brother back in the day. I can recall him getting mad each time Robotnik beat him and tossing the controller across the room claiming the game was cheating. If you want to relive some of your glory days of gaming with a cool retro game, SEGA has announced that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is now available for the first time on Android devices.

It has all those classic levels you recall from the original game including Emerald Hill, Chemical Plant, and Casino Night. The game get a new area that wasn’t in the original called the Hidden Palace Zone.

The game was previously available for iOS gamers in its original version, but those that bought the iOS version get the re-mastered version as a free upgrade. Android users can buy the game for $2.99 (USD).

Sonic Dash for iOS Will Finally Star SEGA’s Mascot In An Endless Runner

Sonic Dash for iOS Will Finally Star SEGAs Mascot In An Endless Runner

It’s undeniable Imangi Studios’ Temple Run games have become an absolute hit on both iOS and Android, sparking a number of endless-running clones. But SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog was probably one of the first games to offer somewhat of a running experience, so we guess it’s OK a Temple Run clone is coming out very soon starring everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog.

SEGA’s Sonic Dash blog post asks its fans “Can you run forever?” which obviously points to the game being an endless runner-type game. This isn’t the first time SEGA has used their iconic mascot to deliver clones of popular mobile games as they released Sonic Jump, which offered a similar experience to the popular Doodle Jump series.

Sonic Dash is expected to be made available for all iOS devices “soon,” which judging by the day it was announced, probably means during tomorrow’s major App Store update. The game will offer 3D graphics as you help Sonic navigate his way through a number of obstacles while also introducing a leaderboards system to figure out who the fastest is among your friends.
