Sonic Games Guía y cronología

Sonic's game history is partly a story and partly an experiment in movement. A side-scrolling route, a three-dimensional stage and a team race ask different things of the player, even when the same characters appear. Choosing an era or format gives a playthrough a clearer purpose.

The catalogue groups the central platforming adventures apart from major side projects. It also includes releases that revisit familiar material, so publication position should not be mistaken for a completely new episode every time. The non-game cartoons, comics and Paramount films belong in the separate Sonic collection.

For a historical run, begin with the original games and follow the main platforming route. For the Adventure era, meet that cast in Sonic Adventure before its sequel. Add racing and other side projects for their gameplay, and choose editions deliberately rather than assuming all versions must be finished.

The split mainly distinguishes kinds of game. It is not a definitive claim that every side project belongs to a separate canon or that every mainline release has one simple date.

• Mainline Games (28 entries)

  The core Sonic platforming and closely related story adventures, with era changes and revisited material understood in their individual context.

• Spin-Off Games (4 entries)

  Major racing and other side projects, included for their own play styles rather than as compulsory bridges between the main adventures.

Follow an era or the mainline sequence, then branch into a side game when its form interests you. Closely related numbered adventures benefit from their own introductions.

Release order makes the transitions between early platformers, Adventure-era experiments and later designs visible. It offers context without making the full back catalogue mandatory.
