Sonic's first appearance on the Sega Mega Drive, or the Genesis as our great freinds in America like to call it. The aim of the game is simple - Dr. 'Eggman' Robotnik plans to threaten all of Mobius with his little mechanic monsters of which cute furry animals are the source of. With the use of these, Robotnik wants Mobius as his kingdom. Fatboy has not yet found the seven chaos emeralds which are littered somewhere on the planet. All is not lost though, as Sonic plans to stop the Egg-man and to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds on the way, which conveniently happen to be floating about in another dimension.
