About Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)
Sonic the Hedgehog is a side-view platform adventure released on October 8, 1991, for the Sega Master System and Mark III. Developed by Ancient and published by Sega, it is part of the long-running Sonic the Hedgehog series and is also available on the Wii. It is a different game from the 16-bit Genesis release, with its own level designs and boss fights.
Players guide Sonic through six zones, each made up of three levels, with a boss fight at the end of every zone. Some zones are based on the original game, while others are new to this version, including a jungle setting and an airship. One level scrolls automatically, and another is arranged vertically. Collecting rings protects Sonic from harm, and finishing a level with 50 rings opens a pinball-themed bonus stage.
The Chaos Emeralds are placed within the regular levels rather than hidden in the bonus stages, so finding them means exploring the main course. The game is designed for a single player and carries an ESRB E rating and a PEGI 3 rating.
