Sonic The Hedgehog 2

His transition from 2D to 3D may have gone about as well as that time we tried unicycling to work, but Sega’s mascot still had his moments. Not least this sequel, which really stuck a rocket up the jacksie of the iconic rodent. Not only were the levels here designed to be whizzed through before you’d had the chance to catch breath, but Sonic also had a new spin dash. Such was the pace, he still hasn’t caught up with his personal best 25 years later. 1992 / Mega Drive
