If you want the thrill of retro gaming, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Classic is a must-have. This faithful mobile port of the iconic Sega Genesis original delivers all the high-speed action and vibrant platforming that made Sonic a household name.

Need for speed... and rings

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Classic retains the series' signature focus on speed and precision. You'll travel through areas such as Emerald Hill and the Chemical Plant, collecting golden rings and defeating Dr Eggman's robotic minions. The controls are responsive and intuitive, allowing you to effortlessly guide Sonic through loops, corkscrews, and stunning drops.

One of the most satisfying additions in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Classic is the iconic spin dash. In this mode, you can accelerate in place and explode at incredible speeds. It adds a new layer of strategic movement and helps you navigate the game's complex environments.

Not just Sonic

Sonic is not alone in this classic adventure. Miles "Tails" Prower joins as a playable character and offers a slightly different experience. Tails can fly for short periods, allowing you to explore new routes and secret areas.

A retro delight

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Classic looks great visually. The game features the same colorful 16-bit graphics and animations that made the original so cute. The soundtrack is equally nostalgic, with catchy tunes that will instantly transport you back to the early 90s.
