Best Sonic Games Ever Made

Sonic is an iconic hero who looks like a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog. He can move at incredible speeds and uses this advantage to fight various villains and his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. By the way, he is an evil inventor who wants to take over the world with the help of an army of robots and other technologies.

All games featuring Sonic and his friends in leading roles are either 2D or 3D action games. Sometimes gamers are given the opportunity to take control of Amy, Knuckles, and Tails, who are part of Sonic's team, but there are also rare exceptions.

In all these games, there are also a lot of rings that the main hero needs to constantly collect.
