Sonic gains new skills at age fifteen

Sega is re-releasing Sonic the Hedgehog for the gazillionth time, this time for the GBA. Ok, but this time there is actually a reason to try out the cleverly named, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis. This is the first time that Sonic has his spin dash in Sonic 1. The move where Sonic can rev up and blast forward was introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 along with his sidekick Tails. Also the game has an unlockable soundtrack, for all the fans that want to hear Green Hill Zone Act 1 over and over again.

Edit: Did we make a mistake? Apparently many of our readers pointed out Sonic could use his spin dash in Sonic 1 in Sonic Jam for the Saturn.
