'''''Sonic the Hedgehog''''' is the first game in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]].
 
==Versions==
''Sonic the Hedgehog'' was originally released for the [[Sega]] [[Sega Genesis|Genesis]] in 1991.
 
Also in 1991, two versions of the game were released in [[arcade]]s. The first version released was for the [[Mega-Tech System]]. This hardware played select Sega Genesis games with a time limit, which differed at each level. This worked in a similar fashion as the [[Nintendo]] [[PlayChoice-10]]. The second version was for the [[Mega Play]] hardware. This version was edited from the Sega Genesis version. There were only twelve levels, each of which had strict time limits. The standard settings only had three lives, and there was no way to earn more. The Sonic extra life boxes added five thousand points to the score. Inserting a coin was the only way to earn extra continues.
 
''Sonic the Hedgehog was released in several compilations. Compilations included the ''[[Sonic Jam]]'' compilation for [[Sega Saturn|Saturn]] in 1997, the ''[[Sonic Mega Collection]]'' for [[GameCube]] in 2002, the ''[[Sonic Mega Collection|Sonic Mega Collection Plus]]'' for [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox]] in 2004.
 
It was released for [[Windows]] and [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] in 2006, then on [[Xbox 360]] in 2007.
 
''Sonic the Hedgehog'' was also included in the ''[[Sonic Classic Collection]]'' for [[Nintendo DS]] in 2007.
 
It was included in [[Sega Genesis Arcade Motion Dual|Arcade Motion Dual]], [[Arcade Nano|Arcade Nano: Sonic]], and [[Arcade Nano|Arcade Nano: Sonic 1 & 2]] in 2010. It was also released on [[PlayStation 3]] in 2011.
 
A remake by [[Christian Whitehead]] and [[Headcannon]] was released for [[Android]], and [[iOS]] in 2013 and for [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2015. This version included [[Knuckles the Echidna]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower]] as playable characters as well as the spin dash ability.
 
An additional compilation, ''[[Sega Genesis Classics]]'', was released for [[PlayStation 4]], [[Xbox One]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] in 2018.
 
Also in 2018, the Sega Genesis and Sega Play versions were included in ''[[Sega Ages]]'' ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' by [[M2]]. The Sega Play version acted as a time trial as each level had very small time limits. There was only one life and no extra lives could be earned.
 
In 2022, the version by Christian Whitehead and Headcannon was included in ''[[Sonic Origins]]'' for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, [[PlayStation 5]], Windows, Xbox One, and [[Xbox Series X/S]] in 2022. An updated version was included in ''[[Sonic Origins|Sonic Origins Plus]]'' in 2023 and included [[Amy Rose]] as a playable character.
