Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

No, we didn’t make a mistake, so stop rubbing your eyes. Sonic the Hedgehog really is treading on Mario’s Nintendo home turf. We know that’s like David Letterman guest-hosting The Tonight Show, but it has happened. And we’re glad the hedgehog made the appearance (Sonic, that is, not Ron Jeremy)—even if it seems like he did so after getting hopped up on a ton of speed. It’s the only way to explain the insane pace of this superb platform game. If you can keep yourself from blinking, you might be able to help the little furry freak collect his golden rings, like some sort of crank-addicted Hobbit.
