Sonic The Hedgehog — About this game
Sonic races through six zones to free his friends from Dr. Robotnik. This Master System adventure combines rolling attacks, measured platform jumps and exploration for hidden Chaos Emeralds. Rings protect Sonic from a hit, but pits and traps still demand care. Each zone changes the terrain, so keeping control of your speed is as useful as building it.
