 Another platformer game like Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog has a big reputation when it comes to retro games. It is widely being recreated today, and recently a movie has also been released starring Sonic. Though it was originally believed that the Easter Egg was placed for a short time and then removed, the Easter Egg has been confirmed to still exist.
