Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro revival in classic 2D style: Sonic speeds through loops and ramps with the Spin Dash and Homing Attack, picking up from the Mega Drive era. Short, fast-paced levels and boss fights against Dr. Eggman are the focus.

Sonic 3D Blast

Gameplay comes before story

A short, fast-paced 3D platformer built around flowing level design and cute costumes. The sequel focuses on speed and precise jumping rather than story or progression.

A charming 16-bit platformer where a star hero uses stretchy arms to grab enemies, swing from objects and move through colorful worlds. It is short and polished, and known for its distinctive style and music.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.
