Sonic games sell great in today's video game market even though our blue hero does not have a console he can call home. Since Sega stopped developing new consoles many people thought that Sonic would disappear for good. But the real fans know that you cannot keep Sonic the Hedgehog down. He has been appearing on different consoles, sometimes even with his rival Mario. Lets take a quick look at some great Sonic games.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Our hero chases Robotnik to Angel Island where he meets his rival Knuckles. This is a red version of Sonic who likes to use his fists to punch. This game has lengthier cinemas and a better story compared to the previous Sonic games. This was also one of the last Sonic games that appeared on the Sega Genesis.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

This game introduced one of Sonic his signature moves, the spin dash. Sonic crawls up into a ball and starts spinning faster and faster. Suddenly he shoots forward, rolling through the level destroying everything in his path. This is one move that everybody uses while playing.

Sonic and Knuckles

Excellent game in where you get to choose between Sonic and Knuckles. They each have their own set of skills. For example, Knuckles can glide and punch through walls, while Sonic can do double jumps and is much faster. These differences are evident in the way you complete the stages and fight bosses.
