Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a side-scrolling platformer based around speed, and the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog. Like the original, players run through different worlds called "zones", which each have their own specific theme. There are two Acts in nearly all of the 10 Zones, and at the end of each Zone's last Act is a machine that Robotnik controls, which you must defeat to progress. The evil Dr. Robotnik wants to conquer the world. In order to do that, he imprisons and transforms all animals into robots called "Badniks". This way they can build his powerful weapon, the Death Egg. Only Sonic the Hedgehog, and his new tagalong partner, Miles 'Tails' Prower, can stop Robotnik and his army of Badniks from taking over the world.

Sonic and Tails can collect rings which are scattered throughout all of the levels. As with most platformers, when the player collects 100 rings, they earn an extra life. However, the rings also act as protection; if Sonic is hurt when he is carrying rings, they scatter everywhere and he is briefly invincible. If he is hit again when he has no rings, he'll lose a life. If the player reaches a continue point lamppost with 50 or more rings, they'll be able to access the Special Stage. In this stage, you must gather a set amount of rings in a halfpipe-like stage before you reach a checkpoint. Complete all the checkpoints and you'll earn one of the seven Chaos Emeralds.

New to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the ability to play the game co-op with a friend - at any time, a player can plug in a second controller and take over the AI-controlled Tails. Tails has infinite lives and the camera remains focused on Sonic, meaning that Tails will not hinder play. Sonic (and Tails) can now also get speed from a standing start by holding down and repeatedly pressing the jump button for a "spin dash". This is useful when stuck near steep slopes or other areas where you need some momentum. The game also features a 2-player versus mode. This mode is a horizontally split-screen race through levels based on three of the zones in the single-player game.

The mobile version (iOS/Android) contains ten new levels in a new environment called Hidden Palace Zone, a boss attack mode, upgraded graphics, faster frame rate, a re-mastered soundtrack, and Knuckles as a third playable character.

You might have noticed we have a lot of stock with a product condition of 'New-Unsealed'. This is a condition that is not really commonly found these days, let us explain!

Quite a few years ago we were talking to a fairly local company; they would trade new consoles and games (think console bundles, multipacks etc) sourced from the UK & Europe and break them down to just the bare consoles, separating the games then sending them in bulk to parts of Europe and the Middle East. Games were separated due to the language differences and regionalised games were sold on to their respective countries.

After some time this stock accumulated in their warehouse, but newer more interesting consoles became their focus and this stock was side-lined as a project for another day. Many years passed until they needed to use the space for something else; we were in the right time and place to bid on this stock and took delivery of it a number of years ago.

General Condition Notes

Unless otherwise stated, DLC usually provided with these products will be used, out of date or missing.
We use stock images (provided by Moby Games) for our product images. Variant images are taken by us (and can be viewed when selecting a variant from the dropdown of a product. If a stock image didn't exist on Moby Games, we have provided our own.
In some cases we have more than 1 of an item, images taken by us will be representative of the condition but you won't necessarily get that exact item pictures.
It isn't practical to take pictures of every Preloved item,

New - Sealed

Best For: Ideal for collectors, but the shrink wrap is likely to show signs of storage and transport.
Returns: No quibble returns when returned sealed; partial credit only when returned as opened.

Items with the official seal* will be listed as 'New - Sealed'. These are the cream of the crop; however, to manage expectations, they are likely to have those same storage and transport scuffs as the rest of the stock from this batch.

* We know that not every PS2 game was wrapped at the factory with the official PS2 seal. For example, our stock of Sly 3 came sealed from the factory but with no logos on the seal strip. This is the only exception we have currently, but this might change.

New - Unsealed

Best For: Ideal for collectors, since the disc/cartridge will be pristine but the game case is likely to show signs of storage and transport.
Returns: No quibble returns.

For anything marked as 'New - Unsealed' from this batch, you should expect some scuffing or storage and transport wear on the outer case; however, the manual, DVD inlay, and disc will be in brand new condition.

Please note:

We prefer to keep to the original cases rather than use pattern part replacements, however if you did want that glossy new game feel we do sell replacement cases for PlayStation 2 games
Since these are already unsealed we do inspect and test these so there could be a tiny bit of dust or a fingerprint on them, they will be pristine all the same.

New - Resealed

Best For: Ideal for collectors who want a mint copy but intend to play it.
Returns: No quibble returns.

We also have a condition of 'New - Resealed'. (Affecting some of our PlayStation 3 games).

We're not really sure who resealed them or why, but the product inside is pristine and lacks the shelf wear found on the unsealed items or the branded tear strip was not used for them (this does happen for some bundled and Platinum Edition PlayStation 3 games).

Preloved

Best For: Ideal for gamers who just want to play the game.
Returns: No quibble returns.

Preloved items are bought in from the public, job lots, and trade-ins or provided by 3rd parties wholesale. To remain efficient with our grading, Preloved items are advertised as 'Boxed / No Manual'. They won't be in perfect condition but they are priced to reflect this.

If a manual is included, consider it a bonus gift! Many include manuals, we just don't guarantee it therefore they are priced as if the manual is missing.

Disc Rot

Disc rot is a chemical deterioration of the reflective layer inside a CD or DVD, often appearing as small pinpricks of light or "bronzing" when held up to a lamp. This occurs over time due to oxidation and can cause games to crash or fail to load.

Our Disc Rot Policy

Defective on Arrival: Any game found to have disc rot upon receipt is eligible for a full refund or exchange within our 30-day warranty window.
Inspection: We visually inspect all Preloved and New-Unsealed stock for signs of rot. For New-Sealed and New - Resealed items, we cannot verify disc condition without breaking the seal.
Sealed Item Returns: If a sealed game is opened and found to have disc rot, it can only be returned for partial credit, as the premium value of the factory seal is lost.
