Sonic: All games and history of the SEGA mascot

And the bet did not turn out badly because practically from the first moment Sonic became the brand image of SEGA, completely revolutionizing the exclusive game catalog of machines such as the Master System, Game Gear, Mega CD and 32X. Unfortunately, the move to SegaSaturn, above all, was somewhat more traumatic and hardly left us with the occasional project that, on top of that, ended up being cancelled, as is the case with Sonic X-treme. Luckily, with the Dreamcast, things got back on track and we got to know the character’s jump to 3D, with two extraordinary Sonic Adventures that are already part of the imagination of any self-respecting seguero .

From that initial success of classic platform games, many other legs with different themes have appeared , which have helped make Sonic one of the undoubted protagonists of video game history, with more than 30 years behind him. and all the force intact that, if nothing changes, we will see this year resurface thanks to Sonic Frontiers .

All the games that have come out of Sonic

Below we leave you, organized by type of game, all those that have reached the market under the tutelage of the franchise. They are not all 2D platforms, nor are they 3D either, because Sonic, as SEGA’s mascot, has had to take on countless roles to entertain us on any system and console you remember. Even in those machines that did not sell too much and that went through history with more pain than glory. But they are worth remembering.

Here you have them all. Everyone, everyone.

2D classics

This section includes all the games that are inspired by the first one that arrived in 1991 for the SEGA consoles of the time. So if you want to know if you are missing any of these 2D platform classics, don’t lose sight of all the ones that have arrived over the last three decades. Are you missing any?

3D classics

With the arrival, above all, of the Dreamcast, Sonic made the leap to true 3D, although a cartridge with certain three-dimensional elements had arrived before. The Adventures saga is one of the best remembered, but we cannot forget that Sonic Frontiers that has to arrive throughout this 2022. What great games!

Race games

Like Super Mario Kart on Nintendo, Sonic came to a point where he decided to also dedicate himself to racing with sagas like Sonic Drift . They are entertaining games that have had countless versions and that SEGA continues to care for today. As an example, serve a button, the last Team Sonic Racing that premiered in 2019.

Sonic at the Olympics

When the news broke in 2007, nobody believed it. That Mario and Sonic are going to appear in the same video game? 15 years after the console war, Nintendo and SEGA decided to join forces in some developments that are already classic every time a new Olympics arrives, be it summer or winter… and that buried that old rivalry of the 90s forever.

Sonic in the arcades

Although you have not seen them much in Spanish arcades, in Japan Sonic has signed some arcade machine accounts to remember. That Sonic Athletics is one of the most spectacular… hit the video.

Sonic and his educational games

SEGA launched a console called Pico a few years ago. It was in the form of a book and for her she also decided to put Sonic in purely educational developments. Later they came to other systems but those original SEGA Pico are the most remembered.

Sonic remasters and ports

Sonic has so much history that some of its games have been crying out for a remaster or port with minor changes. If you want to know all those who have arrived, you just have to take a look at the table that we leave you just below.

sonic collections

When it comes to putting together several Sonic games, nothing like a good collection to have them all together without having to load each one separately. If you want to know which ones have come out, look at the list… you’re going to be amazed!

Sonic Boom series

Among the most classic Sonic games is this saga that has the particularity that it mixes the best of 2D and 3D . Arrangement of some phases as if they were the old Mega Drive cartridges, but with the technical improvements of the current 3D environments. What more could you want?

Sonic spinoffs

Sonic and his friends have starred in a huge number of games, but as a successful franchise, other titles inspired by their characters have been developed. Dr. Robotnik has been one of the most graceful, with some names in his charge that are pure gold. Or do you not remember the superb Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine ?

Canceled Sonic Games

And obviously, those projects that were never sold in stores but that, over the years, have come to light after confessions by old company workers, could not be missing. Some, by the way, have ended up leaking in unfinished versions or that were practically finished and that are 100% playable. SegaSonic Bros. , for example, is one of those titles.
