First appearing in his own Sega Genesis game in 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog celebrates over ten years as a gaming industry icon in this return to his roots, which features classic 2D side-scrolling action at the character's trademark high-speed pace. Play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Amy to put a stop to the nasty Dr. Robotnik. The first Sonic release for a Nintendo system, Sonic Advance features cross-platform support to interact with the GameCube's Sonic Adventure 2 Battle through a special cable connection.
