released on Oct 16, 1992

This is a completely different game than its 16-bit counterpart on the Genesis/Mega Drive, and was originally released on the Sega Game Gear and Master System. The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game marks the debut of Miles ‘Tails’ Prower, Sonic’s best pal, who is then seen recurring in the series. Assist Sonic to rescue Tails, who has been kidnapped by Dr. Robotnik in this platform video game. In exchange of Tails’ safety in this Sega Game Gear video game, the evil scientist asks that the six Chaos Emeralds be given away to six robots, so he can dominate the entire globe. With advanced ability of Sonic to smash through walls and grab back scattered rings hit by enemy, this platform video game is made even more exciting. Join the protagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game as he rides a mine cart, a hang glider or skims through water surface in his rescue attempt. With seven zones and three acts each, this Sega Game Gear video game is a rollercoaster ride where you get rewarded at the end of each act.

Sonic 2? more like Sonic 2 slow so he has 2 go 2 special ed 2.

Sonic 2 8-bit is an oddball in the series, a game that differs completely from its console counterpart, as well as one I strongly reccomend playing a specific version of. The game gear version of this game is horrible. The screen crunch is insane, making the first boss, one of the hardest in the whole series. The game was just not built to be played like this, so if you do, play the Master System version. The increased resolution makes a world of a difference.

I mean I still a really hard game. Level design is very punishing, bosses don’t give you any rings and finding the 6 chaos emeralds hidden in stages can be a quite an undertaking.

All the stages have something to set them apart, whether that gimmick is actually fun.. or works at all is up for debate. But I think it gives Sonic 2 8-bit an identity that most will miss due to how awful the game gear version is.

I don’t really reccomend this game, but I’ve also played a lot worse.

Hard but in the worst way possible. Awful gimmicks like the hang glider and a million of tube puzzles as well as bad level design make this game unplayable.

Huge step down from the first Master System title. The level design is really frustrating and the controls for some of the stage gimmicks are absolutely horrendous. I love the sprite work and music but its a complete slog to play. It's also hilarious they still use Tails as a selling point despite him barely being in the game.
