7 / 10How satisfying and precise the fundamental mechanic feels to repeat.
The mobile version keeps Sonic’s original speed, ring collection, and pixel-art charm intact, then adds widescreen support, remixed music, and Time Trial competition. Touch controls can still slip at the worst moments, and Tails and Knuckles don’t always fit the old stages cleanly, but the retro feel is strong enough to make the compromises easy to accept.
