How Many Ports of Sonic 1 (1991) Exist? - Sonic The Hedgehog Release History

- Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most iconic games of all time, but it's also one of the most rereleased games of all time! In this video, I go over nearly every port of the game, seeing how many times SEGA has repackaged and rereleased it. This is the rerelease history of Sonic The Hedgehog!
In this video, I go over all of the releases on the SEGA Genesis, Sonic Jam, the many mobile phone ports, and even some bootleg and unreleased ones too! Does Somari sound familiar? It will after this video!
Thank you for watching!

Ah i see a fellow man of culture
the gag in the beginning of his sa2 review will never cease to make me laugh
we all agree with you.
I love all of the people who didn't stay for the end correcting him on Sonic Genesis on GBA.
Man I was gonna mention it but right when I was gonna type he says it lol
What happened with it?
It's weird for him to skip to sonic on the ds before mentioning the gba port.
lol

1:58 Ah yes, my favorite Sonic game, "Knuckles in China Land".
The quest for the chinese sandwich
"Sonic in brazil" is the best imo
Knuckles Goes To A Country With Steriotypical Chinese World And People, And Then Got Coronavirus.
@Sammy This Isn't Racist, This Is China-Land, Not China.
@KatzenProductions why?
11:05 Slight correction, the 3DS version technically is emulated and the emulator they built supports the 3DS's 3D function. I know as I've taken apart the emulator myself and swapped out the internal ROM to play Sonic 3 Complete on my 3DS a few years ago.
The lines are blurred between emulation and port with those M2 3D remasters. The emulator they built - the 'Gigadrive' - does indeed run Mega Drive ROMs but every game in the series was disassembled and completely rebuilt in order for 3D values to be assigned to graphic & sprite layers. They're both emulated and enhanced ports simultaneously.
That is absolutely genius. I wish stuff like that was not just some weird gimmick

Holy crap, video footage exists of the original Sonic 1 Mobile, iPod, and iOS releases!? That’s crazy, I thought they were lost to time!
The best bit is the existence of iOS version footage, to me, as I remember that port fondly since it was my first experience with Sonic.
6:19 Yes, Sonic sure wants to show off the Boss Baby on his phone.
i'm showing off the sonic showing the boss baby on his phone on my phone

Nitro Rad would probably know too since he used to cover every port a game got when he reviewed it :)

I had the sonic classic collection for the DS. It was fun because it allowed you to save your data in sonic 1 and 2. I thought it was actually a great port.

I have since bought _yet another_ copy of Sonic 1 for the Mega Drive.

I own two copies of Sonic Mega Collection for Nintendo Gamecube, the Sonic Classic Collection for Nintendo DS, the 3DS version of Sonic 1, and Sonic Genesis on Game Boy Advance. That's 4 versions of Sonic 1 total...and I regret none of them.

12:46 I have both of those. Many fond memories with those things. Sadly the cords started degrading many years ago, so I'm not sure if they even still show up on a TV. I remember getting the blue one for Christmas like, 15 years ago I think, I don't remember nor do I even know how old these specific ones are. I got the red one at some point during my childhood, but I don't remember when. These were a fond part of my childhood, thanks for reminding me of them Pat. ^_^
Sega: How many times are you gonna rerelease Sonic 1
Sonic Team: *Yes*
Sega: *every* *year!*
Almost all of these rereleases are from Sega. Sonic Team only had a hand in a couple of these.
Sega: we are going to re-released sonic 1, we can’t do it to sonic 3 & knuckles because Michael Jackson was involved

This is an awesome and comprehensive list, and congratulations on putting it together. It's something I've wondered about.
It's almost hilarious to think that the game was console exclusive
Like resident evil 4 lol
Now for the REAL question: which has more official and unofficial ports, Sonic the Hedgehog, or DOOM?
AortaPlatinum What about pac-man and Tetris?
Obviously Doom. There is an entire community in putting doom in random things
I mean, there's countless versions of Doom 1 on PC, made by fans.
mrmimeisfunny Like that recent one where a McDonald’s employee figured out how to get Doom to play on the cash machine.
I think official will be Sonic, unofficial will be Doom. Sonic 1 is available on Game Cube, Dreamcast, PS2, PSP, DS, Wii, 3DS, Java mobile phones, and there aren’t official Doom ports on those. I think the SNES, 32X, Jaguar, 3DO and Playstation are the only systems Doom exists on that doesn’t have Official Sonic.

As a lover of Sonic related trash, you're wrong...we absolutely DO need to talk about Sonic Genesis!
Sonic Related Trash still doesn't include Sonic Genesis. That... Thing is akin to Nuclear Waste.
I agree man, kinda disappointed he talks about the hacks and the AtGames stuff but refuse to talk about the only single port that SonicTeam made that's bad. The game is not like CD-i Zelda and Mario games where those aren't made by the real game developer, those were truly trash but Sonic Genesis was not made by trash studio like Philips, Sonic Genesis was made and ported by the same team that made the original Sonic and they still failed. That's like if Nintendo ported SMB3 to GBA and failed which they didn't or if Capcom ported Super Street Fighter II Turbo to GBA and failed which they too didn't.
Thanks for covering all the different versions of Somari! I was worried you weren't going to talk about them- they're really neat stuff. The one featuring Hummer Team's mascot in particular is interesting as it's only appeared on their Famiclone plug and play consoles, and there hasn't been any evidence of a physical cartridge, if I recall correctly.
You're right! I thought that was so interesting, I wonder where the members of Hummer Team are nowadays. Maybe I'll cover more of their stuff someday. I also appreciated how the cart of the Doraemon game says "Socat", as in the Somari of cats.
If you do talk about Hummer Team again, definitely look into their demake of Super Mario World. Sure, it's been talked about to death at this point, but there's no denying it's technically impressive for the Famicom- it did things that Miyamoto claimed could never be done on the system, like riding Yoshi.
The relaxing end has a phisal copy of somari when he was messing with a famiclone.
Hey, SEGA, remember when you tried to release a port of Sonic 1 on the gba?
SEGA- (sneakily pushing a copy of Sonic Genesis out of view) umm.. nope....
Ospyro3em It also came out on the same day as 06! (I think anyway..)
I remember Sonic Genesis on GBA...mainly because I own it.
@@cm-ih1jb It did indeed come out on the same day as Sonic 06. You could say November 14, 2006 was a very dark day in Sonic history.
Matt Trey i don’t know what you’re talking about. *Nothing happened on November 14th 2006...*
"And while many claim to know what gaming is all about, most have just recently jumped on the bandwagon of the world's most dynamic form of entertainment."
Damn, Sega be throwing heavy shade to the PS2
Great video. I just received sonic jam for the saturn today and WOW I could honestly tell the difference. It played smoothly, colors and characters really popped out over s-video which the genesis didn't support. With the power of the Saturn I was blown away and very happy I got this compilation.
I still have my sonic 1 Cartrige to this day
I ain’t selling it
That game was my *jam*
EDIT:(18.10.10) Thenks to pepz like dis comment if u like this ur apart of this *Jamz punz*
so you're saying, it's Not For Resale?
is it your Sonic Jam?

These reply are full of puns
The spike bug is still in the Japanese version of sonic 1, it was always intended behavior which wasn't corrected until sonic mega collection.
though the Japanese version of sonic 1 contains a hidden credits scene containing the actual names of the developers
Keep up the great work PatMac!! Love your videos buddy!!
You monster, you kept me for 18 minutes waiting for Sonic 1 on the GBA and had a really great video in between
That Somari boxart at 16:08 actually has it's background elements based directly on the JP art for Sonic 2. And the Japanese release of Sonic 1 definitely still has the spike glitch, as that wasn't removed until Sonic Mega Collection.
Great video by the way, lots of cool info here. Now I know that the number of times Sonic 1 has been rereleased is even more absurd than I thought, haha. I love the effort and research you put into your videos, despite any goofs or oversights that might happen, and you never cease to entertain either. Keep up the good work!
As far as the "definitive" version of the game goes, I actually don't consider the Taxman version to be in the running. As many technical improvements as there are, I think forcing the widescreen aspect ratio hurts the game. A good example is the Green Hill boss, where the wider aspect ratio means the platforms are moved further apart, making it more difficult to move between them in one jump. I also don't like that you no longer have the ability to cheap shot Eggman before he's ready, since it hinders the use of the invincibility monitor in the tree.
Sega Genesis Collection for PSP and PS2 was very stylized, had unlockable dev video interviews, and also some unlockable early Sega arcade games such as Zaxxon.
The "Japanese" version of Sonic 1 (A.K.A Rev 1) is actually just worldwide, the US and Europe got the updated version in later production lines. It's only known as the Japanese version because that was what Japan always had since they got a late release. Still have yet to find an American copy of Rev 1 Sonic 1 though.
Also, it didn't "patch" the spike "bug" because the way spikes worked in Sonic 1 was intentional, but they changed it in later games. Although in Sonic Mega Collection the Sonic 1 ROM did get modified to change the behavior of the spikes to how they do now.
actually, there WAS a Sega Smash Pack Vol. 2 ...
... it was for PC.
Seriously, that was my first time playing Kid CHameleon and Comix Zone. and Shining Force.
I am pretty sure there are more Sonic rereleases than 8-Bit Mario sprites in Mario’s newer games.

It's strange that you left out the infamous Sonic 1 on GBA, but overall, it's a great video. I didn't even know about the cancelled PC release!
To be honest I had the script done and ready to go and then realized I had completely forgotten Sonic Genesis, and decided I liked how the video flowed already, not to mention so many people have already discussed why it's such a shockingly bad port, so it only got a small mention at the end as a joke.

10:19 A mouse is a very strange inclusion, especially considering the games aren't generally played with a mouse.
Sonic 1: Point&Click Edition: u sure about that.
Haha! I always play Sonic 1 with the Sonic mouse, alongside the Sonic toaster known for being a broken mess in the UK.
but sonic is kinda like a mouse, so sonic isn't popular?
They didnt mean for you to use the mouse to play the game, just a neat addition
"We don't need to talk about that one."
But it came out on the same day as Sonic 06! Surely it's amazing compared to that!
Trust me, it's not. Sonic 06 is at least a unique beast. There is zero reason to play Sonic Genesis, even out of morbid curiosity.
It's not. Sonic 06 may have tarnished Sonic's present-day career but Sonic Genesis is an awful version of a classic. It's absolutely horrendous.
Keiya sonic 06 is such a fun speedrun game
@@robertanderson9447 I'm aware, that was kind of the joke. I thought me knowing the trivia about it coming out the same day would make it a bit clearer that I knew that than it was, sorry!

I've played a lot of these. Whenever I get a new System, Genesis Sonic games are a must own.
The Sonic 1 I had on the Mega Drive was the 6PAK cartridge, a collection with Streets of Rage 1, Golden Axe 1, Columns, Super Hang-On and Revenge of Shinobi.
12:10 I remember having that and playing sonic 1 on it
Meanwhile we are still waiting for a dreamcast collection sega...you know a "DREAMCAST " collection
My Sega Mega Drive came with a cartridge of Sonic the hedgehog and another cartridge with Shinobi, Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. It made me have so much fun... Good old days.
I have a sega genesis flashback console from Atgames and it’s actually really good. I was shocked to see it performing well.
The 2013 version of Sonic 1 is also available on Amazon FireTV. The closest we have to a home console version at this point.
