#CodeDescription
Codes 1 THRU 16 also work for Tails in a one-player game. There is only one total for Sonic's rings in a one-player game. Normally, you have to grab all seven chaos emeralds, get at least 50 rings, and jump to turn into Super Sonic (and be invincible). But by choosing from among Codes 58 thru 64 and 65 thru 69, you can reduce the number of emeralds and rings you have to get. With Code 70, you won't lose your rings with time and drop back down to regular Sonic. And to help you become Super Sonic on the last level, where there are normally no rings, Codes 58, 65 and 72 will do the trick--just jump. Finally, access the level select menu with Code 71.

Cheats For Sonic The Hedgehog 2
#TypeDescription
1Change Into Super SonicNow you can change yourself into Super Sonic! The best method to do this is with 2 players. Go through the first level, collect 50 rings, and look for the closest Star Post. Touch it and jump up to enter the bonus level. Use 2 players and collect all the rings necessary to get the Chaos Emerald, hit the RESET button on the Genesis. Once the title screen comes up, go into the options. Then press START to get to the first level again. Repeat the same process over and over and the bonus stages will change, and you'll get different emeralds each time. Collect all 7 of the Chaos Emeralds and go back into the level. Now you must collect 50 rings and jump into the air. Cool! It's Super Sonic! This Golden Boy can run faster and jump higher then ever. He is virtually invincible and his rings go down every second, so keep collecting as many rings as you can.
2Stage Select / Super Sonic / Debug ModeFirst go to the title screen and scroll down to the option selection. When the options screen appears, highlight the sound test box. Now with the pad, change the numbers of the sound test and play them with the B button in this order: 19, 65, 9, 17 - When you play 17, you will hear a distinct ring sound at the begining of the song. Press the START button to exit back to the title screen. When the title screen appears, hold the A button and press START and the level select will appear. You can do another trick from within this screen/ Highlight the new sound test within in this screen and play these sounds with the B button: 4, 1, 2, 6. Choose any stage in the level select screen and when you are are in that level, collect 50 rings and jump into the air to become Super Sonic! Press START and A to exit this level. One more trick is the debug mode. Highlight the sound test in the level select menu. Now play the the sounds in this order using the B button: 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4 (Sonic Tuesday) Now hold the A button and press START to enter the level of your choice. Once in the level press B to change into an object, A to change, and C to duplicate.
314 Extra ContinuesIf you always run out of continues and wanted to have many more, this trick will satisfy all you Sonic players. Scroll down and to the options screen and press Start. The options screen will now appear. Move down to the sound test and play these sounds in this order: 01, 01, 02, and 04. Now move to the box that says player select and press Start. Press Start to enter the game and you will eventually die. After the "Game Over" appears on the screen, the continue will appear with 14 Sonic continue symbols.
4Get All Chaos EmeraldsSTART the game as you normally would. Get a Chaos Emerald, reset the game, and START the game from the options menu. You will keep the emeralds you have gained so far each time you START from the options menu.
5Super TailsWhile in Debug Mode, create and position a "Transfer Box" monitor. When you hit it and you are Super Sonic, you lose all your powers but stay yellow. Tails looks the same but has invincibility (little stars flashing around him.)

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Sonic the Hedgehog series (8 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Sonic Team/Sega
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             various
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Who would have thought that a fast-paced arcade game
                  about a smart-alecky blue hedgehog and his efforts at
                  preventing the evil Dr. Robotnik from mechanizing the
                  world would have turned into the hit series that it
                  became?  The original is a legend as far as arcade games
                  go, the sequels are for the most part just as good or
                  better, and the venture finally provided Sega with
                  something it desperately needed at the time - a new
                  mascot.  Every Sega plaform since has had at least one
                  Sonic game.

IMPRESSIONS:      Colorful graphics, catchy tunes, and fast gameplay are
                  the standard hallmarks of the Sonic series.  These
                  titles remain as popular as they ever were, with each
                  new entry adding its own particular twists.  The first
                  is a must, and so are most of the others.

VARIATIONS:       Sonic the Hedgehog (1991, the one and only original, and
                    the game that was most responsible for the popularity
                    of the platform - the Japanese version has scrolling
                    clouds in the background)
                  Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992, same idea as before but adds
                    a second player-controllable character in Tails the
                    Fox - this was the most successful G/MD title ever
                    produced, according to Video Gamers Online - the beta
                    version, which has been recently unearthed, includes
                    levels that didn't make it into the commercial release)
                  Sonic Spinball (1993, a pinball game designed around the
                    Sonic franchise that has all the visual appeal of the
                    platform games, but somehow just doesn't wash - there
                    are two different versions, with slight musical
                    variations being the only notable difference)
                  Sonic Crackers (1994, an in-house beta developed by Sega
                    to test several new concepts - only two stages are
                    playable, but this was the first Sonic game to employ
                    the "bungee attack mode" that would be more fully
                    realized in Knuckles Chaotix for the 32X - there are
                    also other elements that were later used in other Sonic
                    games, isometric perspective being a notable one)
                  Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994, the last in the commercially
                    released series of 2D platformers - not designed for
                    speed as before, you encounter a boss at the end of
                    every level, Sonic was redesigned to give him a more
                    fierce look, Knuckles puts in his second appearance
                    in a Sonic game, and has only six very large stages -
                    the MegaDrive release apparently has some different
                    music than the American release, such as when Knuckles
                    first appears)
                  Sonic and Knuckles (1994, Sonic squares off against Dr.
                    Robotnik's newest henchman, Knuckles the enchindia -
                    this employed a special "lock-on" pass-through design
                    that allowed you to plug in Sonic 2 or 3 and play them
                    as either Sonic or Knuckles - you're in for a bit of a
                    surprise if you try using Sonic 1 with it - this is
                    considered by some Sonic fans as the best of the
                    original 16-bit side scroller series)
                  Sonic 3D Blast (1996, also known as Flicky's Island in
                    Europe - Sonic travels to the island of the Flickies
                    to save them from Dr. Robotnik - in part inspired by
                    old Sega platform arcade game Flicky - the first
                    commercially released Sonic game to make use of
                    isometric perspective, which takes a lot of adjustment
                    for fans of the series)
                  Sonic Classics 3-in-1 (1996, combines the first two
                    Sonic Games and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine into
                    a single cart)

                  Also released around the same time was Kunckles Chaotix
                  for the 32X and Sonic CD for the Sega CD.  As a side
                  note, Dr. Robotnik is known as Dr. Eggman in Japan due to
                  his appearance, and the nickname has been quickly
                  accepted over on this side of "the pond."

To be honest, I hate Sonic. I mainly played pt. 2, 3 cuz of Tails & Knuckles resp.
Sonic CD was a gem though, but that's another story..:) (Super Saiyan Sonic haha)

Overall, a very good line-up with Spinball being a fun spin-off. Playing Sonic 2 with Knuckles is definately worth a try...

Okay here we go...

My absolute favorite is still the first Sonic 1 and here is why.

The first game I was ever introduced to was Altered Beast on the Genny. It looked cool but I wasn't that impressed with how choppy the graphics seemed to look. Also the sound was better than anything I had heard but it simply just didn't impress me near as much as the look of the Genesis itself did.

Then a few days later my same buddy calls me over to check out a new game on it. I wasn't looking all that forward to going but did so out of curiosity and because it was cool to hang out anyway. What I say made my jaw drop to the floor!

Yeap he had just gotten Sonic 1 and had just hooked the Genesis into his stereo system in his room. To put it mildly I was impressed just upon hearing "SEGAaaa" at the opening. Then when I actually saw all the bright colors and the main theme track I was hooked. I stayed over late that night and come over almost everyday (which pissed him off eventually I am sure) just to play that game. Sonic 1 really stands out as the one game which proved to me what the Genny was really capable of.

I now have all the Sonics minus Spinball (Not a real sonic game if you ask me) and i don't have 3 or Sonic and Knuckles. But out Sonic 1, 2, and Sonic 3D I still love the music in Sonic 1 best. The graphics are nice in Sonic 2 but tales is annoying in my opinion. Sonic 3D looks great for being 3D but the quality of the graphics just aren't as good as they were in a 2D platform world. Sonic 3D does have several fantastic music tracks of it's own. But nothing like the first and original Sonic 1. I need to get the 3rd one so that my whole outlook will be changed on these games. Graphically 3 is the shining star. Also the music in 3 from what I have heard of it, is pretty much just as good as the first one if not better on some tracks. I so need to get that one.

Great Game! Play as Sonic (Our favorite Blue Hero) Or Knuckles!in a race to beat Dr. Robotnic (well... its not realy a race... but it is FAST) go on and Collect those rings! Its well worth it (game speed is great, and so is the music and graphics) It lives up to be part of the Sonic Series!

Dude, Sega loves you! They loved you so much they sent their hedgehog, sonic to die for you! he died for you on the last level man! he used his last life for you to beat the final boss so you could be saved! the book of sega 3:16 says; "For sega so loved the video game market that they gave their only begotten hedgehog and that whosoever played his games would not be bored but have everlasting fun." so all you need to do is goto sega and ask them to forgive you of your sins for rejecting them and favoring nintendo or something...*sings* he gave his furrr so i could liiive...Sonic is great!

It's Sonic. What more can you say?

They are all fast, brilliant games that are worth buying (With the exception of Sonic 3D possibly). They have virtually endless replay value (Especially Sonic 2!).

They are just sheer brilliance.

The Sonic games have allways been a favorite of mine. If it wasn't for Sonic's blazing fast speed and beautiful graphics, the 16-bit platforms wouldn't have gone as far as they did. Many games raised the bar after this series, but this Series set it.

Sonic 2 was also a good game. The way you could so easily go to level select and then be super sonic, and then easily become him with debug mode. Also the 2 player verus mode was a good and on. It challenging and that mode is very unpredictible. So I say it is another classic.

Sonic 3 is the best sonic game i have ever played. With tails you can control him to fly and to swi and with two people you can help sonic to hidden places. The 2 player sonic racing was good on it with the time attack and with beat the best score. Also with easier bonus rounds I could get to be super sonic super fast.

I own most of the sonic series for the Mega Drive I think they are the best set of games on the whole system. They are fast action packed and enjoyable they may be 6 or 7 years out of date but they are better than most platformers on other consoles.

Sonic is, in my opinion, the best series. Out've all of them, I'd say that the original game is best. The graphics are better than any of the other game, for it's more 3D look, and if you see it on the Sega CD, it'll look more impressive. I also think positive on Sonic 3D Blast. It was rushed, the graphics are neat, and it really could've been the game to save the Genesis if it was worked on more.

The Sonic Cartoon also airs on Toon Disney, in which, like most times, they insist on using Robotnik and Mobius over Eggman and Earth.

I have to say that Sonic 2 is the best game of the lot, not Sonic 3 + Knuckles as often said. Sonic 3 is a lot of style over substance and is simply not as enjoyable as Sonic 2. There is a lot more "interactive" sections which take some of the direction away from the player.

Sonic 1 is a close second, but because of the valuable tool that is the spin dash, Sonic 2 beats it. Sonic 1 had great level design which has a lot more subtlety then the rest of the series.

Let me end this with a childish complaint: I want Sonic Jam!

Sonic 1 and 2 are also great games, but the other games (Sonic 3D, Sonic Spinball...) don't have the quality of the platform games of Sonic.

I recieved Sonic 1 in the 6 games pack Christmas '97. The other games were good, but Sonic just blew me away. It was easily the best game of it's time, but then Sonic 2 came along. It was Sonic 1, only 100% better. The graphics, the gameplay, the sound...it was all superb. I have to admit I have never played S&K, but I have played Sonic Spinball. I bought it at Bury Market for £2. It was totally different from any other Sonic game, and to me it was definetly the hardest. The latest game was Sonic 3D: Flickies Island. It was a platformer, but instead of side scrolling, it was a diagonal perspective. It was slightly easier than S2, and I still play all Sonic games to this day.

Sonic is the best! He looked so cute in his old style. I only like his old style better because he looked a little like a spiked-up Mickey Mouse. Tails is cute too! Amy Rose Hedgehog is a pink Hedgehog. I got Sonic CD for the PC. You can find her in that game. In her old style, she looked cuter. She only looked a little like a spiked-up Minnie Mouse. Robotnik is a lardo. Knuckles looks sooooo cute when he does his shadow punching gesture! I have this game in Smash Pack 2 for the PC. It is for those who never got to own a Genesis system like myself. This is the game that showed us Blast-processing.

Many annoying hours trying to get past the first level! Wonderful game, graphics but due to the slow takeoff from a standstill you found yourself backing up to get a "running start" at the smallest of hills!!!! other than this Minor annoyance the speed of sonic overall in the later games was reduced to give a player a more fluid feel.

Game play: Its really nice having a decent looking 3D platformer on the SMD before it went forever, but the control are hard to get used to. Colleting all of the Filkies can be very annoying somtmes too.

Storyline: It has one, even with a (slightly) animated intro, but it sucks.

Life span: Not having a save feture like Sonic 3, the lifespan shortens.

I loved the first Sonic, it was the first Genesis game I ever played. Sonic 2 was okay, but Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles was much better. Sonic CD was great as it combined CD Audio with the already popular Sonic. However, my enjoyment of Sonic the Hedgehog stops with the Genesis games (Sonic R was average). The Dreamcast versions of Sonic really suck in my opinion, it's gotten too fruity.
