Summary and Plot
The video game is essentially a children's party game featuring Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles Tails Prower, Amy Rose, and Dr. Robotnik/Dr. Eggman, and features many different mini-games. Compared to the Japanese version, games featuring gambling, fortune-telling, fantasy violence, rock-paper-scissors, and other uneducational elements were omitted from the North American version. This means that the entire third floor (page) from the Japanese version is eliminated and the remaining games are in different locations than in the Japanese version. The North American version replaces the pilfered non-educational content with a drawing page for young players to create their own designs.
The game's plot is about when Dr. Robotnik has hidden a Chaos Emerald on each floor of the Gameworld, an amusement park-like tower. Sonic, Tails and Amy must beat all the minigames on each level and find the Emeralds. The Story Mode is eliminated in the North American version and only has the Game Mode. Only 11 of the 17 games are in the North American version.
All images of Tails and Dr. Robotnik/Dr. Eggman were ripped off from the Saturday morning cartoon Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog; even though the animated series itself was set in a separate universe from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive versions of the Sonic the Hedgehog video games.

Famous quotes containing the words summary and/or plot:
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
