Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (MD)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a Sega Technical Institute (STI) platform game released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis. It follows Sonic as he tries to prevent Doctor Robotnik from stealing the Chaos Emeralds and using them to power his space station. Players traverse side-scrolling levels at high speeds, similar to the first Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) while collecting rings, defeating enemies, and fighting bosses. Sonic 2 features faster gameplay, larger levels, a multiplayer mode, and special stages with pre-rendered 3D graphics, as well as Sonic's sidekick Miles "Tails" Prower.
Sonic 2 was widely anticipated, and Sega supported it with a $10 million marketing campaign. It was released in November 1992 to critical acclaim and received numerous year-end accolades. Sonic 2 received positive reviews from critics who praised the visuals, level design, gameplay, and music. The implementation of Tails and the multiplayer mode received criticism, while the special stages divided opinion. Sonic 2 broke video game sales records, grossing over $450 million in 1992. With six million copies sold worldwide, it is the second-best-selling Genesis game after the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
