    Sonic the Hedgehog is fast and looks amazing!

     This game is one of the best 16 bit looking games out there. The level design is very well done and looks fantastic. The backround effects while you are playing are also astounding. On top of all of that is the gameplay, from the smooth control to the very very fast action, with the exception of Marble Zone which I am not a very big fan of. Even with todays standards it is one of the fastest games out there. The platforming in this game is very fun and can get pretty challenging. This game consists of 6 zones, and 3 acts in each zone with a boss battle against Robotnick at the end. The only bad aspect of this game is there was no spin dash yet, and that could probably be it, and the laggy frame rate when you lose all of your coins when you get hit. This game is excellent fun, but it is pretty challenging, and you will find yourself getting game overs if you just try to rush through every act. Collect coins up to 100 to gain a life. Also, the main goal is to collect every Chaos Emerald, with one in each zone.
