Mark Arcade Flashback Friday | Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sega)

Sonic’s nemesis, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, is once again planning world domination through the power of the Chaos Emeralds and an army of robots. This time, he is constructing an armored space station, the Death Egg (an homage to the Death Star).

After pursuing Robotnik through West Side Island, Sonic and Tails take Tails’ biplane, the Tornado, to the Death Egg. The Tornado takes damage and Sonic infiltrates the Death Egg alone. There, he defeats a robotic Sonic and Robotnik’s giant mech. As the Death Egg explodes, it falls from orbit and Sonic is rescued by Tails in the Tornado. If the player has collected all of the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic transforms into Super Sonic and flies alongside the Tornado.
