Game Description

Sonic is back with his original adventure, just like it was on the Genesis in 1991! Play through all the original levels as the fleet-footed blue hedgehog, as they were meant to be played: with crazy jumps, wacky loop-the-loops, and plenty of ring-collecting goodness. Tack on Sonic's Spin-Dash move to help take out your enemies and a save ability to keep track of your progress, and you have a classic brought back to life. Sonic turns 15 this year, and you can help celebrate by taking him with you on your GBA.
