Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis is a Game Boy Advance remake of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis, made in celebration of the 15th anniversary of that game, as well as Sonic himself.
Features
- A save system, similar to the version featured in Sonic Jam
- An Anniversary Mode which gives Sonic the Spin Dash ability from later Sonic games
- A zoomed in view to adapt to the GBA's widescreen aspect ratio
- A new level select is available at the title screen; the original level select and debug cheat codes have been removed
Reception
The game has been criticized by many, receiving a 33 ("Generally negative reviews") on the aggregate ranking site Metacritic.
The primary criticisms were:
- Slowdown issues (for example, obtaining speed shoes causes the game to actually slow down, rather than speed up)
- Poor music renditions and sound quality
- Unfaithfully ported movement physics
- Shortened and unfaithful ending sequences
- Game-breaking bugs and glitches
Some even refer to this as the worst (Sonic) game ever made.
