Title screen for SEGASonic Bros.

Status: Lost


SEGASonic Bros. was an arcade game planned for the Sonic series that was never properly released. It was a puzzle title wherein Sonic is joined by red and yellow recolors of himself with differing personalities, the red one being cheerful, while the yellow one brooding and/or shy. In the game, one must stack Sonic copies together to earn points, similar to Cleopatra Fortune.

History

The game was designed by Fukio Mitsuji, and given a location test. It failed this test, and was never released proper, possibly being marked as one of two unsatisfactory Sonic arcade games in a press release. The game lay in obscurity for many years until Custom Robo's creator Kohji Kenjoh brought it up 20 years later, followed by a few twitter posts on the game. The game was found by ShouTime, an arcade board collector. He has yet to leak the game further.
