Description
Plot
In this game, the player is Sonic on a six-level quest to defeat another one of Eggman's schemes. There are inter-level cutscenes and appearances by characters such as Tails and Knuckles.
Gameplay
The actual gameplay is simple - Sonic bounces upwards off platforms and much reach the top of each level - if he touches the bottom, the game is over. There are four different types of platform - regular, disintegrating (one jump and it's gone), spikes underneath so if hit from below Sonic takes damage, and a higher-than-usual jump. Badniks can be defeated by spinning at or near the apex of a jump. Points are accrued by defeating badniks, gaining Rings, and clearing levels quickly. Beating a level with 50+ rings allows the player to earn a piece of a Chaos Emerald.
