Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a downloadable version of the Sega Mega Drive game Sonic the Hedgehog 2 released for the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade in late 2007 as part of the "Sega Vintage Collection" series, before being brought to the PlayStation 3 in 2011. It has extra features that the Sega Vintage Collection version of Sonic the Hedgehog didn't have, like online multiplayer (over Xbox Live or Local Play) and voice messaging.

As of May 20, 2022, this version of Sonic 2 has been delisted from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live alongside other re-releases of Sonic games on these platforms in preparation for the release of Sonic Origins^[17]^[18].

Gameplay

The game is run on an Mega Drive emulator and allows for control by either analog stick or D-pad. Since the game uses a custom title screen it is not possible to enter any cheat codes via the Sound Test or select the in-game options selection. A custom Options screen is available, which allows the player to toggle a graphics smoothing filter, character selection (via screen size adjustment, and custom button mapping. A custom Game Save option is also included. Leaderboards for Overall High Scores over Xbox Live Arcade and Achievements are supported. Although Sonic and Tails are available as a playable combination, a second player cannot control Tails in the single player mode.
