Sonic The Hedgehog: the fastest thing alive. You have probably played or heard of this game. Released in 1991 by Sega, the game came to be one of the best games of all time.
As a platform game, it explored different features that weren't present in the games of the same gender at that time, especially Super Mario, from Nintendo, Sega's rival. The "blue blur" became so popular at that time, he even took place of Alex Kidd as the company's mascot, as Sega wished to have a mascot to rival Nintendo's character Mario, a task which Alex Kidd wasn't considered up to as he had not caught on with the public.
Sonic, the protagonist of the game, could run and jump at high speed while he collected rings, sought out chaos emeralds and fought various bosses. Basically, Sonic must stop the villain Doctor Eggman from fulfilling his plan to take over the world. All of this with the help of his friends: Tails, Knuckles and Amy.
