Sonic Origins (ソニックオリジンズ) is a compilation containing the Sega Mega Drive games Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles and the Sega Mega-CD game Sonic the Hedgehog CD. It was first announced during the Sonic Central presentation in May 2021, with a full reveal on April 20, 2022.
Gameplay
All of the games in the collection can be played in different modes:
- Classic Mode: The games run in a 4:3 aspect ratio with the lives system and 10-minute time limit retained. The sides of the screen will be black, but decorative letterbox borders can be added via DLC.
- Anniversary Mode: The games run in a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the lives system and time limit have been removed, giving the player infinite lives; replacing them is a coin system in which players can collect coins and use them to retry Special Stages.
- Story Mode: All four games are played sequentially in chronological order with additional cutscenes.
- Mirror Mode: All levels are mirrored, requiring the player to move left instead of right. This mode is unlocked by clearing the Classic, Anniversary or Story modes, but can be unlocked immediately via the Start Dash DLC.
- Boss Rush: In this mode, the player fights all the bosses of a game sequentially.
- Missions: In this mode, the player can play missions for each game in which they must complete specific objectives. The player's performance is graded with a Rank that determines how many coins they'll earn as a reward.
A museum is also included in the collection with various content to unlock, such as music and artwork. Content in the "Normal Collection" is unlocked as the player progresses through each game, while content in the "Premium Collection" must be unlocked by spending coins earned in other modes.
The games include additional bonus content, including content previously featured in their respective remasters from 2011 and 2013, including playing as Tails in all games, playing as Knuckles in all games except Sonic CD, and the addition of Hidden Palace Zone as a secret stage in Sonic 2. The Drop Dash is also known to be included as a feature in Sonic 3 & Knuckles; whether it will be available in any further games remains to be seen.
