Let's Play Sonic the Hedgehog (100%)

  • Full Name: Sonic the Hedgehog
  • Console: Sega Genesis
  • Release Year: 1991
  • LP Timeframe: July 4th - 16th, 2025

Debuting in 1991 on the Sega Genesis, Sonic the Hedgehog was Sega's bold answer to Nintendo's Mario - a mascot with attitude, speed, and a rockin' soundtrack. Developed by Sonic Team, the game combined lightning-fast platforming with colorful graphics and an iconic character that would go on to define a generation. With its distinctive checkerboard landscapes and loop-de-loops, Sonic the Hedgehog became a flagship title that helped put the Genesis on the map during the console wars of the early '90s.

Sonic’s gameplay brought something new to the platforming genre: momentum. Instead of just hopping from platform to platform, players zipped through sprawling levels at high speeds while dodging spikes, freeing animals from robotic shells, and collecting golden rings. The catchy music by Masato Nakamura, combined with the game's vibrant aesthetic and responsive controls, helped cement Sonic as a household name and gave Sega the edge they needed in the 16-bit era.
