I have a friend who is a genius atSonic the Hedgehog. She played it religiously in college, but even today can sit down, load it up on my Virtual Console, and still remember where every single jump and power-up is in the game. If there is ever a sequel toThe Wizard, I think I have a candidate for the main character. She’sso bad.
Do you think you all know the SEGA classic well enough to impress her (sheissingle)? Get that Binaca ready and test your knowledge by taking this week’s quiz, obviously all about the originalSonic the Hedgehogfor theGenesis.
As with every week, just leave your answers in the comments and whoever gets the most right will win! In the event of a tie, this week I am going to try something a little different. Instead of just choosing a name at random, I have included a tiebreaker question at the very end of the quiz. You don’t have to answer it — as it won’t affect your total score — but if there is a tie, whoever gets the bonus question right will be the champion. And if there is a tie onthatquestion … well … after my head explodes from all the stress, I will probably just pick a name at random again. It’s the circle of life, my friends.
The swell prize this week is a 2000 point gift card for the Wii Shop Channel that you can use to downloadallthe games in the Sonic collection (hopefully ignoringSonic 3D Blast, as that game is just terrible). Check mycommunity blogtomorrow (12/6) for the results and to see how you did.
