NTSC-J copy played on a Mega SG.
If you've ever played Sonic 1 and 2 back to back, you'll know there's no real reason to ever return to the original outside of curiosity and being a die-hard fan of the franchise.
Sonic 2 improves on its predecessor in every way, with a more attractive art direction, enjoyable game design you'll want to return to, a catchier soundtrack and of course the spindash. Introducing the second player mechanic through the character of Tails was also a great move, giving friends and siblings a chance to have fun alongside you as well as providing a cute endearing companion to the main "bad boy" protagonist.
If you're interested in exploring the original run of Mega Drive/Genesis games then this is where you want to start.
