Sonic the Hedgehog/Gameplay

Playing Sonic the Hedgehog is relatively simple. This is a short walkthrough on how the game mechanics work.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog is the game's speedy, spiky-haired hero. It's up to him to race through all of the levels of the game, grab all of the Chaos Emeralds, and defeat Robotnik!

Dr. Robotnik / Eggman
Sonic the Hedgehog's nemesis is named Dr. Robotnik in the West, and Dr. Eggman in Japan. Whatever the name, his goal is the same - to conquer the world using the power of the Chaos Emeralds... but not if Sonic can do anything about it!

The Animals
These little animals come in several different species. They serve as the 'damsels-in-distress' of the game, being imprisoned inside Robotnik's badniks, as well as the animal capsule at the end of every third act.
