About Sonic Origins
Sonic Origins is a digitally remastered collection of the origins of Sonic – Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic CD, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles – that comes with a whole host of new additional elements, including support for 16:9 aspect ratio.
Tons of new features have been added to the games to enhance the experience! Boss Rush, for example, offers you the chance to battle bosses consecutively, while Anniversary Mode removes time limits and grants an infinite number of lives to keep the fun going.
For those who prefer retro Sonic, Classic Mode allows you play through the games in their original states. The Museum features tons of content from the series, including music tracks from other games and previously unreleased documents! Clear the game to unlock Mirror Mode, the option to play horizontally flipped versions of stages.
Or kick back and relive the classics in Story Mode, which neatly ties the four titles in chronological order. Newly created animated scenes have been added in to make this the ultimate, cohesive experience.
