YOUR ULTIMATE MULTI-PLATFORM PLAYER'S GUIDE & REVIEW SOURCE
Definitive, unfiltered evaluations from the 8-bit and 16-bit trenches.
Sega took everything that made the original speed-runner great and cranked it to eleven. The introduction of the Spin Dash completely changes the momentum of the game, and Miles "Tails" Prower makes for a brilliant cooperative sidekick.
Capcom perfected the action-platformer formula here. Choosing your own boss sequence paths, stealable weapons like the Metal Blade, and a legendary, head-banging chiptune soundtrack solidify this as an absolute masterpiece.
It is impossible to overstate how addictive this puzzle layout is. The green monochrome screen fades away the second line-clears start stacking up. It's the ultimate pick-up-and-play title for handheld gaming.
