Cover to Pixel, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Genesis
-
I personally love the simplicity and straight to the point cover art for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. You know who your heroes are and that Dr Eggman (Robotnik) has returned! Seeing a new playable character named Tails would also draw in any Sonic fan to take a look at the sequel and say “Sonic has a sidekick now!”
The sprites for the game are absolutely beautiful to look at and they kept the similar art style from the first one with minor improvements here and there.
The cover definitely compliments the sprites and vice versa as the art style is the same so you know what to expect.
(SWIPE) If we take a look at the JPN cover it does emphasize that Tails is Sonic’s sidekick and that it’s two player but it’s missing Dr. Robotnik (Eggman). In my opinion having Dr. Robotnik on there would’ve made it more appealing as he’s a recognizable villain who has returned. I also find the background extremely bare, they could’ve put something back there…like Dr Robotnik (Eggman)!
