The Story
Sega built Sonic specifically to have an answer to Mario — they needed a mascot with attitude, and Yuji Naka's physics engine made momentum feel tangible in a way nothing had before. Sonic can slow down and explore, or he can commit to speed and let the physics carry him through loops and corkscrews. The correct choice is to go. Sonic the Hedgehog was designed to be the fastest thing on a 16-bit screen, and in 1991, it was.
