Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure is a Sonic the Hedgehog game for the short-lived Neo Geo Pocket Color handheld console. The game is similar in level design and gameplay to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. Its levels are largely based on those of that game, although some of them use adapted versions of graphics from other Sonic games. The music is based on a variety of music from earlier Sonic games, including Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and the Sega Saturn compilation Sonic Jam. It also included special features, such as puzzles and multiplayer options.

This game is noteworthy for a number of reasons. First of all, it was the second Sonic game to be released for a non Sega console (the first game was the other version of Sonic Jam, for the Tiger Game.com). It is also the last game to feature Sonic as its only playable character until the release of Sonic and the Secret Rings in 2007. Further more, it is the only game to mix the current design of Sonic with his classic one: The in-game graphics look similar to the classic style, while on the title screen and other up-close artwork Sonic resembles his modern design that debuted in Sonic Adventure. This mix of styles also applies to Dr. Eggman: In the early levels he has his original design, but he switches to his Sonic Adventure design on Sonic reaching his base.

A one-level demo of Sonic Pocket Adventure was released, and features cutscenes not present in the final game; see Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure: Trial.
