Game Description

Metal Sonic Hyperdrive is the tale of not the Metal Sonic we know but an alternate version of Metal Sonic created by Tails after the latter stole Metal Sonic’s development plans from Dr. Robotnik. Tails gifted this new Metal Sonic with the heroism and behavior of Sonic and sent this new hero to Robotic Isle to recover the Chaos Emeralds and put Dr. Robotniks plans to and end.
Play as the robotically superior version of Sonic capable of anything his organic counterpart can muster as well as much more. Metal Sonic has his own version of the Spindash as well as the Super Peel Out present in Sonic 3. The developer has also included Super Metal Sonic into the game via collecting six Emeralds and obtaining 50 Rings (identical to Sonic 2).
Explore an all new environment riddled with new enemies and dangers unique to the Sonic titles spanning the Sega Megadrive console. Each of the levels have been expertly crafted to emulate the original Sonic aesthetic.
