Retro fridays and sonic 2

Sonic 2 is easily the most common and most popular sega genesis game. It is an edgy teenager in video game form which also helped make it popular. The 90's were "xtreme" so sega made sonic to be "cool".

Sonic 2 is a platformer like the super mario bros series but with more of an edge. Sonic runs through the levels and there are loops and steep hills to help you go faster. I remember it most for the music and the 1st two worlds

The bonus stages show off some neat 3d effects but what's most memorable about this game is when your underwater. Ok let me remind you of a little something, in the super mario bros games you can breathe underwater so you only have to worry about a time limit to finish the level.

Sonic 2 lulls you into a false sense of security. When your underwater you feel no rush to get to the surface so you take your time jumping from platform to platform but this isn't a sonic game.

Suddenly the music speeds up more and more until you drown and yes it includes a gurgling sound. The music causes legitimate anxiety
