'''''Sonic the Hedgehog 2''''' (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ2) is a game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Rather than being a port, it is a ROM inside an emulator that somewhat accurately emulates the original ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' for the [[Mega Drive]]. The emulator is called iGenesis.

The game is controlled by a directional pad and a button which appears onscreen as the game starts. It is possible to shrink the screen so that using the controls will not block the view. This moves the start button between the buttons rather than at the top-right in full screen mode. A game save option is available and allows a game to be resumed after being turned off. A 2-Player mode is also available via Bluetooth.

The game is controlled by a directional pad and a button which are overlaid on the screen. It is possible to shrink the screen so that using the controls will not block the view. This moves the start button between the buttons rather than at the top-right in full screen mode. A game save option is available and allows a game to be resumed after being turned off.

This version is no longer available, as anyone who purchased this version received a free update to [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2013)|a rebuilt version]] using the Retro Engine.

In 2013, the game was replaced with [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2013)|a new version]] (referred to as "3.0" in the version history), which was created from scratch without the need for emulation.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ2) is a game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is a version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive. Rather than being ported to run on iOS itself, the game consists of a ROM running on an emulator named iGenesis.

The game is controlled by a directional pad and a button which are overlaid on the screen. It is possible to shrink the screen so that using the controls will not block the view. This moves the start button between the buttons rather than at the top-right in full screen mode. A game save option is available and allows a game to be resumed after being turned off. A two-player mode is also available via Bluetooth.

In 2013, the game was replaced with a new version (referred to as "3.0" in the version history), which was created from scratch without the need for emulation.
