This time, the bad doctor's hatched a new sinister weapon, the Death Egg.
Robotnik (Sonic's arch-enemy) decided to play it fast and loose with the forest creatures one more time. Sonic was set for early retirement, ready to rest on the laurels of his '91 achievements. Sonic can also search for Super 10 Ring Monitors, Power Sneakers, Invincibility Monitors, and 1-ups. One hundred Rings still earns you a 1-up, but this version of the game doesn't have any Bonus rounds. Per standard Sonic, you grab Rings and special Monitors to earn different types of power-ups and you must always have at least one Ring in your possession. Master the subtleties of his movements, or you'll roll into some serious and frustrating trouble. The game play is Sonic all the way, simple to learn and easy to control for the most part. While you're at it, eyeball Sonic's new rides: the Railcarts in the Under Ground Zone, the Hang Gliders in the Sky High Zone, and the Bubbles in the Aqua Lake Zone. Then, check out the deadly spinning Flywheels in the Gimmick Mountain and Crystal Egg Zones. What's new and different to see? Try the loop-to-loops for one. Sonic's a small sprite, but his movements are well-animated and easy to follow. The scenery is crisp and clear, and it includes plenty of secret tunnels, loop-to-loops, and interesting underwater areas. Sonic 2's graphics belong in the top ranks of the Game Gear's greatest hits. Sonic runs, rolls, and jumps through the two Acts of each Zone, and then faces off against one of Robotnik's seven deadly robots in each Zone's additional final Act. The scene is set for seven zones of rip-roarin', multi-scrolling action/adventure that shows off the Game Gear at its best.
To free all the critters from Robotnik's Crystal Egg, Sonic's got to locate all six Chaos Emeralds. Robotnik's returned to the forest and kidnapped all the little forest creatures, including Sonic's two-tailed foxy buddy, Tails. If you thought that was the end of that story, though, you're way wrong. Sure, Sonic finished off the diabolical Ivo Robotnik in the first Sonic The Hedgehog for the Game Gear (See GamePro, February '92).
