It’s an understandable omission when you stop to think about such a feature’s viability – Sonic moves faster than the speed of sound while performing acrobatic flips and spins that would make a trained astronaut barf up their chili-dogs. One perspective that has yet to be attempted officially by Sega, however, is a first-person mode. The series has evolved from its 2D side-scrolling roots through fisheye prototypes and isometric outings before ultimately settling on a third-person perspective that has been the standard for its console releases for decades now. The Sonic The Hedgehog franchise has experimented with a number of different viewpoints and gameplay styles over the years.
