Featuring the new mascot of Sega, the titular Sonic the Hedgehog, this game served as the launch title for the famous video game franchise known as the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game was originally released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in North America and Europe on June 23, 1991, with a Japanese Mega Drive release following three days afterward on June 26. Advertising its fast gameplay based on Sonic's extraordinary speed, the concept of a high-speed platform game was unique for its time and solidified the style of gameplay the series would be best known for. Due to the Genesis/Mega Drive's Motorola 68000 processor, the power of the console would allow for faster gameplay, dubbed by some as "blast processing". Being rereleased through compilations, it has also been ported and released individually by multiple developers, being a part of Backbone Entertainment's PlayStation 3 releases, and M2's Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch remasters. It has also been extensively remade on the Retro Engine by Christian Whitehead and Simon Thomley for mobile devices, with widescreen support and a plethora of new content.
