Sonic
the Hedgehog 2
Information
Background: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the sequel to the first Sonic
the Hedgehog game for Game Gear. Sonic has a few new devices to use
this time around, including rail carts and hang gliders. Unlike the Genesis
version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic cannot
spin dash--just like the first game for Game Gear.
Story: After Sonic defeated Robotnik on South Island, he left to
find new adventures. Upon Sonic’s return, he found a note from one
of his friends named Miles (a.k.a. Tails). Tails’s note explained
that Robotnik had forced him to write the letter after he captured the animals
on South Island. If Sonic wants to rescue Tails, he must find six Chaos
Emeralds.
Levels: There are six levels (seven if you obtain all emeralds):
Under Ground Zone
Sky High Zone
Aqua Lake Zone
Green Hills Zone
Gimmick Mountain Zone
Scrambled Egg Zone
Crystal Egg Zone
Each Zone has three Acts and has different features. Every second Act (before
Scrambled Egg Zone) contains a Chaos Emerald, while every third Act has a boss
that must be beaten without any rings.
Chaos Emeralds: The first five Chaos Emeralds can be found in the
second Act of each zone. Usually the emeralds are hidden well, making them
harder to find. During the third Act of Scrambled Egg Zone, you must face
Silver Sonic and defeat it to obtain the sixth Chaos Emerald. Once Sonic
has all six Chaos Emeralds, he can rescue Tails; he cannot change into Super Sonic.
Miscellaneous: Just like the Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog
2, you must face Silver Sonic before facing Robotnik. However, you do not
face Robotnik until the end of Crystal Egg Zone. There are also two endings
depending on whether Sonic is able to collect all six emeralds and rescue Tails.
Also, since Tails must be rescued in the game, he is not a playable character.
