'''''Sonic the Hedgehog''''' is a [[1991]] platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the [[Sega Genesis]]. It is the first game in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise. The player controls the titular character, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, through six "zones" of three "acts" each in his quest to defeat the evil scientist Dr. Robotnik, who has imprisoned the animals of South Island in robots in an attempt to gain the six powerful Chaos Emeralds. The game was played on ''[[The D-Pad]]'' in celebration of its 20th anniversary in [[2011]], as the first game in ''[[Sonic Week]]''. The entire LP was recorded in a single session and uploaded to the now defunct dpadup.com website as one long episode on June 20, 2011. It was later edited into 6 shorter episodes and released on YouTube on weekdays from August 15 to August 22, 2011.

Both complete the first act of Green Hill Zone and enter a special stage, but C/J fails to obtain the Chaos Emerald while Rick succeeds. They each struggle in the second act, with Rick not having enough rings for a special stage and C/J dying, but eventually getting his first Emerald. This results in Rick having a significant lead, having gotten through most of the first act of Marble Zone as C/J beats Green Hill Zone's boss.

Things continue to go badly for C/J in the second act, as he fails to even enter the giant ring at the end of the level while Rick picks up his third Emerald. C/J catches up to Rick in Act 3, but both players fail repeatedly at a lava block-riding segment, and C/J dies several times as a result, leaving him being behind once more. C/J eventually completes Marble Zone at the same time Rick enters a giant ring in the first act of Spring Yard Zone.

Rick reaches the end of Spring Yard Zone, but dies several times to the boss and risks losing his lead until C/J falls down a bottomless pit and gets a game over, being forced to restart Act 3 as a result. Rick has moved on to the first act of Labyrinth Zone by the time C/J returns to defeat the boss.

  |ShortSummary = C/J and Rick become neck and neck during Labyrinth Zone as Rick begins to fall behind. C/J entering a special stage to grab a fourth Emerald gives Rick a slight advantage again, but he spends a long time stuck at the water sliding segment that opens Act 3 and dies later on in the level, giving C/J a significant advantage. Both players run into problems in the act, but C/J remains ahead and finishes the level. However, he falls down a bottomless pit early on in the first act of Star Light Zone, giving Rick a chance to catch up somewhat as he defeats Labyrinth Zone's boss.

  |ShortSummary = Rick continues to catch up in the first act of Star Light Zone, with both players entering special stages at the end of it. C/J once again fails to get an Emerald, and Rick picks up his fifth. John discusses the group's plans to see Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails as Rick and C/J play through Act 2. Rick gets the sixth and final Emerald, and C/J begins to realize he may have run out of special stage opportunities. However, C/J regains his lead, and enters Scrap Brain Zone several minutes before Rick.

  |ShortSummary = Both C/J and Rick die frequently in the first act of Scrap Brain Zone, mostly in the same specific spot. By the time they finally reach the end, Rick has a slight lead over C/J. However, Rick grinds to a halt in the second act, dying multiple times while C/J speeds ahead. Rick eventually completes the act, but by then C/J has already reached Final Zone and defeated Robotnik, winning the race. As C/J finished with only four Emeralds, he receives the bad ending as a result. While Rick beats the final boss and watches the good ending, C/J starts a new game in Green Hill Zone and completes the special stage that was giving him trouble earlier.

This page is about the 1991 Sega Genesis game. For the Master System and Game Gear version, see Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit). For the 2006 game of the same name, see Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). For the 2020 film, see Sonic the Hedgehog (film).

Sonic the Hedgehog is a 1991 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It is the first game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The player controls the titular character, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, through six "zones" of three "acts" each in his quest to defeat the evil scientist Dr. Robotnik, who has imprisoned the animals of South Island in robots in an attempt to gain the six powerful Chaos Emeralds. The game was played on The D-Pad in celebration of its 20th anniversary in 2011, as the first game in Sonic Week. The entire LP was recorded in a single session and uploaded to the now defunct dpadup.com website as one long episode on June 20, 2011. It was later edited into 6 shorter episodes and released on YouTube on weekdays from August 15 to August 22, 2011.

The game was revisited on The D-Pad in celebration of its 23rd anniversary in 2014, as a race between Rick and C/J and the first game in D-Pad Rivals. In this LP, Rick played the 2006 Wii port of the game, and C/J played the 2007 Xbox 360 port. The LP consisted of 6 episodes, released daily from June 23 to June 28, 2014. A bonus episode featuring the entirety of the race was released on June 29, 2014, and a further episode featuring a side-by-side comparison of the race with Rick and C/J's later Sonic the Hedgehog 2 race as part of The Super Sonic Let's Play was released on November 1, 2018.

The game was played on The D-Pad a third time in celebration of its 25th anniversary in 2016, as the second game (and first official game) in The Super Sonic Let's Play. This time, the original Genesis version was played once again. The LP consisted of 5 episodes, released on weekdays from June 21 to June 24, 2016.

Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the forty-two games included in the Sega Genesis Mini dedicated console. This version of the game was played on The D-Pad in a one-off episode in 2019, as the fifth game in their Sega Genesis Mini series. The episode was released on November 8, 2019.

The game was played on The D-Pad a fifth time in a one-off episode by Rick in celebration of its 30th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of Sonic Week in 2021, as the first game in Sonic Weekathon. The episode was streamed live on the dpadfm Twitch account before being uploaded to YouTube on June 21, 2021.
