![]() A love interest in Amy and a rival in Metal Sonic are introduced. In some ways this game is modeled like the first game like it’s goal rings and lack of spindash, in other ways it’s a complete revolution of Sonic the Hedgehog. When Sonic 2 was in development in America by Sega Technical Institute, Sonic Team over in Japan was making this game. Tails and Knuckles are here too! Other than that though, this is just a smoother Sonic 1. Now that you’re familiar with the Genesis version, what’s new here? While not exactly new to these ports, Sonic can Spin Dash now! The levels aren’t exactly designed for this, but it’s a welcome addition, especially when you want to really speed through these levels. Special Stages in this game are found by getting to a stage goal with 50 rings and jumping into a giant ring, dropping you off in this dream like gem infested area. There’s only Six Chaos emeralds and they do nothing outside of giving you the Good Ending. There’s no spindash and the stages are outright more about platforming for the most part. First, it’s definitely not near as fast as the other games. This first game is a little different than the ones to come and usually is the less spoken about game outside of Green Hill Zone. Sonic the Hedgehog, where it all started. Now that they’re on Switch along with that Retro Engine Sonic 3, lets dig in and get all nostalgic. These are definitely the definitive releases of each game and until now, these were mobile only outside of CD. Widescreen, 60fps, general QoL improvements like saving and even new characters that shouldn’t be there like Tails and Knuckles for 1 and Tails for CD. From 2011 to 2013, we’d get remastered releases of Sonic CD, 1, and 2 by the wonderful Christian Whitehead and Headcanon using the “Retro Engine”. This is a port of the critically acclaimed mobile ports! Even better, we have the fantastic port of Sonic CD from 2011 and even a new port of Sonic 3 & Knuckles! This isn’t a port of the Genesis games…again. How many does the Switch have now? 4? Well, Sonic Origins does one better than the others. Oh boy, another port of Sonic 1 and 2 to current gen consoles. ![]() Categories: Retro, Compilation, Platformer ![]()
