Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is a 2010 platform game developed by Dimps and Sonic Team and published by Sega. It is part of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and was intended as a throwback title to the original Sonic games on the Sega Genesis. As such, the story begins immediately after the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, and the gameplay returns to the classic side-scrolling style. The Wii version of the game was briefly played by The D-Pad in 2011, as the fifth game in Sonic Week. It was intended to close the series, but a serious frame rate error resulted in the LP being abandoned after a single level and replaced with Knuckles' Chaotix. The failed LP was released on The D-Pad's then-website, dpadup.com, as part of the Knuckles' Chaotix episode, on June 25, 2011. Later, it was uploaded to The D-Pad's YouTube channel on October 14, 2011, as part of the re-edited version of the Knuckles' Chaotix LP.
