Sonic the Hedgehog is a platforming action video game. Developed by Sonic Team in 1991, the blue blur himself would become one of gaming's universal icons, and became the first series to stand as a serious rival to Nintendo's Mario series, flaming the legendary console wars.

A classic 2-D side-scrolling platformer, you control Sonic, a blue-colored hedgehog that runs pretty darn fast across the stages (zones as they are called in the game). Scattered throughout the zones are golden rings that Sonic can collect, which allows him to not only take damage, but allow access to special stages. If completed, the special stage will grant Sonic one of six Chaos Emeralds.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik, an evil genius, realizes the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and wants them for himself. As such, Robotnik traps the innocent woodland creatures of South Island. In response, Sonic attempts to free the creatures and collect the emeralds for himself in order to stop Robotnik's plans.

Sonic & Johnny is a complete heavy modification of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) that features Johnny from Sonic Rush Adventure as a playable character who can be raced with Estimated Time Limits, New Zones with familiarity, Original Bosses, Sonic 1 Mode with slightly different layouts, and 2-Player Co-Op that can be played without a second controller.

[u]Characters:[/u]

- SONIC: The same as usual, One difference is he accelerates instantly at max spindashes.
- JOHNNY: The Sultan of Speed, His invulnerability lies in his running speeds like a torpedo. Cannot Roll but can stomp onto enemies/monitors and has a Super Peelout that can be cancelled into a Quickdash and a powerful TurboJump.


[u]Story:[/u]

After Robotnik's dissatisfaction with Metal Sonic, Robotnik and his empire decided to own land, and reclaim all the Chaos Emeralds to mysteriously summon an individual from another dimension who calls himself Johnny. After being sold with Johnny's arrogant skills, Robotnik constructs a deal that would give Johnny the fame and recognition he always wanted by inviting him to his recently funded Atomic Stadium, an small island built for the strongest of racers with a special prize if one of the racers collects all Emeralds. Sonic gets a report from Knuckles that his Emeralds is missing and later received a letter from Robotnik threatening Sonic to join his versus Grand Prix or else one of his friends will remain kidnapped forever. Sonic calls Tails to fly him to the nearest stadium to join the race to beat Robotnik's latest successor to Metal Sonic and find out what's really going on.
