PLOT
In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic and his new sidekick Miles "Tails" Prower have found out that Dr. Robotnik is attempting to obtain the Chaos Emeralds on West Side Island to power his Death Egg. Sonic and Tails must defeat Robotnik's Badnik army and free their animal friends while racing to stop the doctor's deadly weapon.

CHARACTERS
- Sonic The Hedgehog
Born on Christmas Island, Sonic abandoned his home at an early age to persue danger and adventures. Becoming a carefree adventurer, Sonic has spent most of his life traveling around the world and far beyond, usually in his beloved Tornado with his best friend, Tails, as his sidekick. He has since become the champion of peace after stepping into the battle against iniquity, having used his abilities to defend his world and those far beyond from the forces of evil, especially his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, and his empire.

- Miles "Tails" Prower
Because of his two tails, he was bullied by everyone when he was little and was timid, but meeting Sonic and striving to be like him made Miles's personality bright, energetic and positive.
Sonic doesn't seem to be paying attention to Miles, but he's actually looking at him sideways.

- Dr Robotnik
Evil genius scientist. He wants the Chaos Emeralds. His life's work is world domination. His rival is Sonic

- Egg Mobile
An all-purpose capsule mecha created by Doctor Robotnik. By changing its attachments, it can travel across water, land, air, and even dive underground. He believes that Sonic won't be a threat to him with this piece of scientific power, but..

GAMEPLAY
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a side-scroller 2D platformer video game, which plays identical as the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. The player can play as either Sonic or Tails or both. They can also play as Sonic while Tails is controlled by a second player or an AI. Both characters share the same abilities. The game has eleven Zones, most of which are divided into two Acts.

The main objective of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is to finish its Acts in less than ten minutes. In these Acts, the player can find many Rings, which serve as their playable character's main method of protection. If a character is hit while having at least one Ring, they will survive with the cost of losing all their Rings. However, if the playable character is hit without having Rings, they will lose a Life, or get a Game Over if they do not have any Lives left.

ZONES
- Emerald Hill Zone
- Chemical Plant Zone
- Aquatic Ruin Zone
- Casino Night Zone
- Hill Top Zone
- Mystic Cave Zone
- Oil Ocean Zone
- Metropolis Zone
- Sky Chase Zone
- Wing Fortress Zone
- Death Egg Zone

SPECIAL STAGES
n Sonic the Hedgehog 2, there are seven Special Stages. When the player has collected at least fifty Rings and hits a Star Post, a red halo of stars will briefly float above it, which they can then jump into to get to a Special Stage.

Special Stages track the player from behind while they runs through a three-dimensional half-pipe course filled with Rings and Bombs. A set amount of Rings must be collected to pass through three checkpoints and eventually obtain a Chaos Emerald. Playing co-operatively with Tails raises some of the Ring targets in the early Special Stages. The order of stages is fixed in rising difficulty, and the player cannot enter the next stage without passing the previous. Whether the player is able to obtain the Emerald or not, Sonic is transported back to the last Star Post he hit in the Zone when the Special Stage is over.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was originally for Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis but had been released on Gamecube, PS2, PS3, Xbox but untill now it has never been remade quite like this. Enjoy!
