Beautiful game, though.
But when you think about it... Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most bizarre games ever. Let's look closely...
You play as a bipedal hedgehog. This hedgehog is completely bollock naked except for a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves. Unlike hedgehogs in the real world, he can run really fast. He is also blue.
In his spare time, he likes to collect gold rings that litter the ground - and the air - all over his world. By collecting rings, he can do... special stuff. His main job, though, is defeating a plump bald fellow who likes machines. This hedgehog destroys machines to rescue the cute critters trapped inside. He destroys them by impaling them with his spines.
The old fellow constantly upgrades his enormous devices, trying in vain to defeat a hedgehog. He has also horded powerful crystals, which are vitally important to the world for some reason, but it's no big deal if the hedgehog doesn't get them back.
Eventually, one hedgehog acting alone is able to destroy all the machines and free all the critters, who - despite their sheer weight of numbers - were too hopelessly defenseless to resist one old man who is unable to fend off a single nude hedgehog.
Everyone is free and happy, the machines are destroyed, and the old scientist is allowed to escape and foment a new evil plot.
If that ain't wierd, I don't know what is.
