Sonic the Hedgehog |

System(s): Sega Mega Drive |
Developer: STI |
Genre: Platform/Beat 'em up |
</div>
Sonic the Hedgehog was an early design idea created by STI. It was based off the then-popular TV series. The game appears to of gone in a different direction than the platformers of the past and was more similiar to a side scrolling fighter like Final Fight with some platforming elements thrown in.
A video demonstrating this game concept was leaked showing Sonic in a level resembling Robotropolis, and enemy security cameras and SWATbots. At the end, he meets up with Sally Acorn and enters a building. The video gives certain other details about the game. It was meant to be 16-megs and the artwork would be designed to reflect the style used in the cartoon series, rather than that used in the games. The sprites and level art would generally be larger in size than that used by the Sonic games at that point.
The character moves slower than the previous games but has new moves. He is able to hold his back to the wall to evade detection and peek around corners (similiar to Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid games). He can grab onto ledges similiar to Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, or any of the princes in the Prince of Persia games. A Ring Attack move was shown where sonic uses Rings from his life bar and throws them like projectiles, killing enemies. A Buzzsaw move that can be used to clear obstacles is performed in mid-air and sonic glows white while doing it. Spike Blast is another move shown in which quills are shot in 8 directions outward from the player damaging surrounding enemies. This too is performed mid-air.
