Top 10 Sonic the Hedgehog Games


you call it nothing run run as fast as
you can
can’t catch me I’m Sonic welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
Sonic the Hedgehog games
for our list we chose titles from
Sonic’s main platforming adventures
which means we’re excluding his racing
and fighting games such as all-stars
racing transformed and Sonic the
fighters we’re ranking the rest of the
games based on the overall quality and
replay value the hedgehogs got to do
what a hedgehogs got to do number 10
Sonic Heroes well it’ll be a date to die
sometimes Sonic’s powers alone aren’t
enough to take on dr. Robotnik
thankfully in this game you get to
control four teams of three characters
each with different abilities yeah baby
does a team some of the lesser known
characters get to take the spotlight
like vector the crocodile and charm EB
all are perfect for zipping through the
game’s 14 levels
number nine Sonic Adventure oh yeah
Sega gamers were so excited about this
title when it was released that some
thought that it could save the
struggling Dreamcast though it didn’t
it’s still an amazing game you’re right
it was a huge leap forward for the
series as it featured multiple
characters with unique abilities from
fan favorites like Sonic Tails and
Knuckles to one character we’d like to
throw into a meat grinder big the stupid
cat nonetheless there’s lots of variety
to be found as the game features some 50
play areas to keep you busy for hours no
way tails number 8 sonic advance 3
it’s the only Game Boy Advance exclusive
title on our list but that’s far from
the only thing that makes it stand out
though the series often emphasizes
teamwork this game takes it to another
level by having secondary characters
support you through tag actions which
allow you to take advantage of their
skills those with a link cable and a
buddy can indulge in some ultra
satisfying cooperative action number 7
Sonic Generations hey guys what’s going
on you having a party or something the
series has a long history and this game
captures it perfectly the levels come
from the franchise’s twenty-year history
and feature bosses from earlier titles
play as classic Sonic and experience the
iconic 2d side-scrolling game play or
play as modern Sonic for a contemporary
feel it’s sure to bring you back to your
16-bit childhood memories an adventure
is no fun if it’s too easy number 6
Sonic the Hedgehog
this is the one that started it all and
it’s not hard to see why it sparked our
love for the blue hedgehog the
fast-paced side-scrolling gameplay one
gamers over instantly and had us taken
out our enemies with spin attacks we do
whatever it took to get our hands on the
Chaos Emeralds and stop Robotnik from
taking over the world
number five Sonic Colors I was an alien
in need of saving where would I be after
dealing with a string of horrible sonic
games prior Sega finally got it right by
combining 2d side-scrolling and
third-person perspectives with an
experiment that goes back and forth
between the two the result is great for
getting Sonic through the bizarre
amusement park where Eggman enslaved the
alien wisps the wisps addition to the
hedgehogs powers helped us use his
abilities in ways we never thought
possible
great job Sonic thanks number for Sonic
Adventure 2 the follow-up to the first
adventure managed to improve on a
successor greatly in this game it’s easy
to get around and the camera mechanics
got better save for knuckles and Rouge
as levels whether you’re playing the
sonic and shadow speed levels or the
tails and Eggman shooting missions or
even getting into breeding the cute
little Chows you’re sure to have a lot
of fun
number 3 sonic 3 and knuckles
this game was originally developed
together with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 if
you use the lock-on Technology feature
you can put both cartridges in the
Genesis at the same time and play
through them as one game by doing this
you can use characters that don’t appear
in the other game to access hidden areas
the games were also notable for
introducing knuckles to the series and
unofficially having Michael Jackson work
on the soundtrack number 2 Sonic CD
in CD Sonics fangirl Amy Rose was
introduced to the series as were some
awesome gameplay features the time
travel system allows you to go between
different time periods within the levels
by maintaining a fast speed and hitting
posts labeled past or future no matter
where you are in time the detailed
backgrounds are gorgeous to look at and
the techno score is the perfect
soundtrack to the Furious action before
we get to our number one let’s take a
look at some honorable mentions
sadly sonic has not had a perfect run so
we’re giving a dishonorable mention to a
game that ruined his reputation number
one Sonic the Hedgehog
2
taking the top spot is Sonic’s iconic
second outing and our choice for the
number one Sega Genesis game as well
since we loved the larger levels speed
your gameplay and super dash attack that
this game added it also introduced tales
who became among the most iconic
characters in the series the title
helped Sega catch up with Nintendo in
the console wars and it assured Sonic’s
place in gaming history
