Sonic2-w.68k, also known as Sonic 2, is a platformer game developed by Sega. The game was initially released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis (known as the Mega Drive outside North America). It was the second mainline Sonic the Hedgehog game and a sequel to the highly successful Sonic the Hedgehog.

The gameplay mechanics in Sonic2-w.68k introduced several innovations that set it apart from its predecessor. The most notable addition was the ability to perform a spin dash, which allowed Sonic to curl up into a ball and charge forward, destroying enemies and obstacles in his path.
