Sonic Labyrinth

Sonic Labyrinth is a 1995 action-puzzlevideo game developed by Minato Giken and published by Sega for the Game Gear. The game features Sonic the Hedgehog "Sonic the Hedgehog (character)") exploring maze-like stages from an isometric perspective. Dr. Robotnik has robbed Sonic of his trademark speed, making him walk abnormally slow but still able to utilize the spin dash. Upon release, critical reception to the game was mixed: many critics found the game a unique addition to the Sonic library but flawed by convoluted controls and repetitive gameplay. In retrospect, however, it has received generally negative reviews and is considered among the worst Sonic games ever released. Despite this, the game has been re-released multiple times in the following years.
