A Sonic game that was made accessible via a QR code from a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It was made to promote the second Sonic the Hedgehog film, so features the Sonic design from the film.

Sonic runs forward on his own and when he approaches a junction, you press left or right to take that corner. The aim is to collect rings, emeralds and boosts. It feels very much like a modern version of the LCD Sonic games that McDonald’s used to give out in Happy Meals due to the simplicity of it. Even if you do absolutely nothing, you’ll still get a good score.

One bonus feature is that you can use your camera and have it be the background of the stage.

I always knew people gave Sonic 2 way too much credit, but wow it's even worse than I remembered! Why are the buttons here so big that I can't press either when the game prompts me to do so? Why is the music soundin like generic mall pop with weak riffs? Is my new 1440p monitor so powerful that edges are disappearing as I move along or is Sonic's speed over-tuned to the masses? What were they thinking?!

It honestly feels like a blessing that something this bootleggy can be released by one of the largest companies in the world. Sonic sounds like he's a 40 year strong smoker. You can take your hands off the keyboard and the game will play itself. I don't have a webcam so it just set to my obs virtual webcam so the OBS logo was my background. The webcam feature in general just feels like this was made by one sole creep at McDonald's to get videos of iPad babies drooling and eating burger.

it wouldn't let me turn when I clicked the turn buttons and that is the only interactive part of the game

still got a massive score

why does the game want to access my camera

you will never learn my location mcdonalds


I could have been reading Prétear right now but instead I'm wasting time playing this. Wtf is wrong with me?

Holy crap, what a weird rabbit hole playing Grimace’s Birthday caused me to fall into…

This is a free web browser game playable on phones from McDonald’s that was released as part of a Happy Meal marketing campaign to promote the film. An idea they stole from Jack in the Box by the way. In it you play as a 3D model of Sonic that looks uncomfortably like something out of a unlicensed project lurking in the bowels of a second or third-rate flash gaming site, and with a deeper voice than the one in Sonic Frontiers. The gameplay consists solely of choosing to either turn left or right at certain junctions, which you don’t even need to do as continuing on straight is just as effective a strategy, as you try to collect as many rings as possible in sixty seconds. There’s an augmented reality element where you can replace the sky in the background with whatever your device’s camera is pointed at, but it adds nothing to the experience.

The only question I’m left with after trying this is, well, WHY?!?! I can see kids maybe getting a few minutes of distraction out of this, but even they will put it down quickly and never touch it again due to how pointless the whole thing is. Like, there’s no reward for wasting your time on this. At least with Jack in the Box’s we got a free Uber Eats delivery out of the ordeal. Here there isn’t so much as leaderboards…

The reason I’m bothering to write about this at all is because it’s kind of hilarious the lows Sega’s mascot gets taken to right whenever you think he can’t go any lower. So if you find this sort of thing as morbidly amusing as I do here’s a link in case you want a good laugh (or cry), as this is legitimately a new rock bottom for the character.

1/10

I thought I understood the standards and means to create games and thought we were reaching the apex of how good games could be inside the medium in terms of technical limitation and creativity.... then I played "Mcdonalds Sonic The Hedgehog 2" on google chrome on my browser and realised I knew... NOTHING about the medium this game is enlightenment and I can't go back to playing any other game after this.....

Funny ha ha tee-hee game that seemingly exists for everyone on Backloggd to get their one good joke in on, and that's apparently all the McDonald's corporation puts out. Slop for your slop hole. Well guess what, fuckers, i'm the fattest hog in town

anyway i don't think i loaded the right browser game because my PC is currently locked out and screaming at me to send Ronald McDonald bitcoins to access my files

I don't know this existed, but it being solely half stars is really funny.

Sonic 2's back half is absolutely unforgivable, I hate those fuckin' fiddler crabs in Metropolis Zone with their Volkswagen Beetle-sized hitboxes and that dumbass final boss gauntlet that sucks the wind out of you- wait what the fuck is this shit, get this crap out of here.

elbow drops it through the announce table

I keep saying 'i wanna go home' but I am home

How the fuck does this have a worse framerate than Sonic 06 of all things
AND RHAT SONIC VOICE WHAT THE HELL LMAOOOOO
