To say that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was highly anticipated is an understatement. A year after the original game’s launch, fans around the world were downright clamoring for more of the Blue Blur and his speedy adventures. 

Of course, when Sonic the Hedgehog 2 arrived in November of 1992, it blew away all their lofty expectations. Packed with new levels, enhanced spin-dash-tastic gameplay, and cutting-edge 3D effects, arguably the game’s most impactful addition to the series’ canon was Sonic’s sidekick, a plucky young fox nicknamed Tails.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is undeniably one of those rare sequels that ups the stakes and builds wholly on the foundation laid by its predecessor. It is a monumental achievement in and of itself, and simply one of the best games of its generation.

Now, 35 years later, iam8bit & SEGA are teaming up to celebrate Sonic & Tails’ massive impact on gaming with a once-in-a-lifetime commemoration. This is the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 35th Anniversary Legacy Cartridge, a meticulously crafted fully playable release of the legend that started it all. It comes in a gorgeous translucent Two Tail Amber cartridge shell, packed in a foldout foil box adorned with embellishments. Plus, you’ll find a full-color premium instruction booklet inside, the same kind you’d crack open and pore over on the ride home from the store. 

Plus: 1 in 8 cartridges have been infused with genuine, bonda-fide Chaos Emerald energy! That’s right; our celebration of Sonic’s past collides head-first with the future, and in the wake of all that lightning-fast energy we’ve found fragments of the Emeralds themselves. These special cartridges will feature a unique translucent exterior, housing a Chaos Emerald inner glow.
