Find Hidden Statues in Sonic Generations

Sonic Generations

By now, you’ve probably played (and beaten!) Sonic Generations a few times, but what you may not know is that there’s a hidden Statue Room, and codes to unlock many different statues. Some of these codes have been posted around the internet, but it’s time to make it official — here’s how to get to the Statue Room and some of the statues within.

To get to the Statue Room, go to the Collector’s Room (to the left of Green Hill Zone) and hold the back/select button for 5 seconds. The floor will drop out, landing  you in the Statue Room! Once you’re in, try these codes:

Happy Hedgehog Day 2012

hedgehog_day

On February 2nd in 1994, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released in the US, and it was dubbed “Hedgehog Day”. In the past few years, we’ve revived this Sonic holiday as a day for fan celebration, and some news and goodies for Sonic fans.

This year is no exception. We’ve got an extra special dose of concept art from Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II, and a couple “save the date” announcements for this summer. Although we’re not ready to talk about all of our plans for this year, we’ve got some great stuff in the works. I think it’s going to be a great year to be a Sonic fan.

From all of us at SEGA to all of you — Happy Hedgehog Day!

 Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II – Egg Serpentleaf

We normally do concept art on Fridays, but we’ve got a special extra for you on Hedgehog Day!

Save the Dates for Summer of Sonic and Sonic Boom 2012!

Fans of Sonic on both sides of the pond will have a chance to gather this summer, as Summer of Sonic returns to the UK and Sonic Boom returns to the US!

We’ll have plenty more details in the coming months about both fan gatherings, but we’re so excited about seeing all of you this summer that we just had to give you a special sneak peek at what we’re planning.

Summer of Sonic

Summer of Sonic will be held in the London area on Saturday, July 7th. This will be the fifth anniversary of Summer of Sonic – and we’re determined to make it the biggest and best show yet! SoS is an all-day event that celebrates all aspects of the Sonic franchise. ‘Zoned’ areas offer a range of different activities – budding artists can sit down at the fan art tables and compete in competitions, speed runners can challenge each other at the retro gaming pods, and the latest Sonic titles are available for fans to try before they’re even released.

Sonic Boom 2012

Sonic Boom will be held in San Diego, CA on Friday, July 13th (during San Diego Comic Con) at the House of Blues. We’ll have more information about ticketing in the future, but you will not be required to have a Comic Con badge to attend Sonic Boom. Hotels in the San Diego area fill up quickly for Comic Con, so if you will need a hotel room, we suggest that you book early and/or consult the San Diego Comic Con hotel page.

At the first Sonic Boom last year, fans had a chance to play Sonic Generations, get some great swag, enjoy a great musical performance from Crush40, and more. We don’t want to give too much away about what’s in the works for this year (at least, not right now!), but we’re aiming to make it a great time for Sonic fans of all ages. We hope you’ll come hang out with us, Sonic, and a bunch of Sonic fans!

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II – Concept Art Friday!

It’s hard to believe that it was just 3 weeks ago that we announced Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II with a teaser trailer and the game’s Brand Manager, Ken Balough, sporting a ridiculous Tails beard. (Fun fact: He broke 2 razors shaving that off.)

Today, we’re excited to kick off Concept Art Friday for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II. Each Friday, we’ll post some concept art from the game. We’ll also post one additional image on the Sonic the Hedgehog Facebook page, so make sure you check there each week too!

Happy Friday!

Sonic the Hedgehog PC Digital Download Extravaganza

We’ve got 3 exciting Sonic the Hedgehog adventures available for the PC digital download market today!

A few awesome pieces of news for you: first and foremost, Sonic CD has arrived on the PC, for sale now on PC digital download stores! Ushering in this arrival is a special Steam deal: buy Sonic CD and get unique costumes for SEGA and Three Rings’ multiplayer adventure, Spiral Knights!

And! If that wasn’t enough, we do have more: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I is now also on PC digital download … along with brand-new DLC for Sonic Generations, the fabulous flipper-fingered fun of Casino Night Zone, inspired by Sonic 2.

That was the short version … check below for some choice additional details!

Sonic CD

Sonic CD

We promised you it was on the way, and here it is!

Bringing back the 1993 classic, Sonic CD brought the blue guy to the Sega CD/Mega Drive back in 1993. A beloved and celebrated game playing with all the elements that helped make the original two Sonic games so much fun, Sonic CD wasn’t just a CD version of the original game, but a whole new story set to great levels (with terrific music, naturally). There isn’t much more to say — check out this great game for yourself!

Sonic on Spiral Knights!

To be more accurate, it’s Tails and Metal Sonic in Spiral Knights … Available for a limited time!

Spiral Knights is a Three Rings developed / SEGA published free-to-play adventure … while I could say much, much more about the game, let’s cut to the chase — These items and offer are currently available only until February 1st, so act soon!

Here’s what you can get and how you can get it:

  • ‘Metal Sonic’ costume: inspired by Metal Sonic, this outfit is available for FREE, for a limited time, with any purchase of Sonic CD over Steam. Also available with an energy purchase in-game! This costume item can be worn over your regular, functional armor.
  • ‘Tails’ tails accessory: Who doesn’t want two adorable tails trailing them wherever they go? Show your Foxy pride with this bushy extension — attaches & binds to an existing piece of armor, yours forever and ever! Available in-game in Spiral Knights with an energy purchase — see in-game for details! (Please note that due to certain aerodynamic properties — or lack thereof — of Knights, the Tails accessory will not enable you to actually fly. If you must attempt to fly, please, try taking off from the ground first!)

Also: Here’s a sneak-preview video of the models for the outfit and accessory, as well as a quick look at what the Metal Sonic outfit looks like in-game!

Finally, joining it will be a brand new Sonic Generations DLC, Casino Night Zone!

Based on the legendary (and legendarily addictive) Casino Night Zone of Sonic 2, this DLC is now available for Sonic Generations on PC digital download. We sincerely hope you enjoy the chance to revisit this colorful and mesmerizing level!
