Now it’s time for a visual test: If Sonic traverses from left to right while navigating the highest route and collecting a ring takes 2 seconds, how long did it take him to exit?
Prior to the release of the first Sonic game, Sega was desperately searching for a mascot that could rival the appeal of Nintendo’s jumping plumber. Plenty of ideas were presented to Sega’s top dogs, one of them being a very early (and very different) version of Sonic. This proposed mascot was actually a rabbit that could grasp at things with his paws and fight using his own ears! How cute.
