The game was developed by Dimps, with assistance from Sonic Team, and is intended to emulate the original ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' titles on the Sega Genesis. ''Episode II'' was released in May 2012 for PC (via Steam),〔 PlayStation Network,〔 Xbox Live Arcade,〔 Android,〔 and iOS,〔 and in July 2013 for Ouya, and Nvidia Shield (as a preinstalled app).〔 A version for the Windows Phone was slated to be released in July 2012,〔 but was ultimately cancelled. An additional episode, "Episode Metal", is available for those who purchase both episodes for the same system. As of late 2014, the game is no longer available on iOS devices due to software incompatibility. ==Gameplay== ''Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II'' is a 2D side-scrolling platformer reminiscent of the original ''Sonic'' games for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It plays very similarly to the previous episode, but with several enhancements. Sonic is now accompanied by Tails, either controlled by the computer or a second player via local or online co-operative play. Unlike the earlier 16-bit titles, Tails cannot be played in single-player mode, and likewise Sonic can't be played on his own. There are also various combination moves that Sonic and Tails can perform together, such as Tails lifting Sonic up to places he would be unable to reach otherwise, or the two rolling into a ball to perform a fast and powerful spin attack. Special Stages in ''Episode II'' are accessed the same way as in ''Episode I'' (finishing an act with at least 50 rings and then jumping into the Giant Ring that appears at the end of the stage), and are based on the half-pipe style format introduced in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', in which the player is required to collect a certain number of rings before the goal in order to obtain a Chaos Emerald. The game also features Red Star Rings, which previously appeared in ''Sonic Colors'' and ''Sonic Generations'', with one Red Ring hidden per act. Cross-compatibility was planned for the Xbox Live Arcade and Windows Phone versions, allowing players to alternate their games by means of Cloud saving. Owners of both ''Episode I'' and ''II'' on the same system can unlock free "Episode Metal" content in ''Episode II''.〔 "Episode Metal" explains how Metal Sonic came back to life after being defeated in ''Sonic CD'', and players can play as Metal Sonic through four acts, all of which are reworked from Zone 1 of ''Episode I''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
