STORY

CRUSH DR. ROBOTNIK!

Dr. Ivo Robotnik (AKA Dr. Eggman), the mad scientist, is snatching innocent ani­mals and turning them into evil robots! Only one tough dude can put an end to
the demented scientist’s fiendish scheme. It’s Sonic, the real cool hedgehog with
the spiky hair and power sneakers that give him super speed.

Help Sonic fight hordes of metal maniacs and do the loop with his patented Spin
Attack. Speed down twisting tunnels and swing over dangerous booby traps.
Leap across lava pits and dodge burning rocks. Then splash
through the chilling waters in an underground cavern. And if
you’re lucky, you can warp to the secret zone where you
spin around in a floating maze! Your greatest challenge
lurks in a secret lab where you come face to face with Dr.
Robotnik himself!

Spin through space, loop ‘til you’re dizzy, save the ani­mals and become the super hero. Be Sonic! Be atomic!
