Released in the United States on 24 November 1992 ("Sonic Twosday") and in Japan the next day, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 helped the Genesis/Mega Drive devour more of Nintendo's console market share. This time around, Sonic was joined by Tails, who only made himself useful as the second player character in the new 2 Player Versus mode. Source: SDA Game page.
The story focuses on Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails, who must stop the series antagonist Doctor Ivo Robotnik from stealing the Chaos Emeralds to power the Death Egg. Sonic and Tails must defeat Robotnik's army and free their friends.
The game has sold over 6 million copies, making it the second best selling game on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, behind only its predecessor (both of which were packaged with the Genesis at different points in its lifespan). The game was compatible with Sonic & Knuckles, which possessed a "lock-on" feature which allowed the player to play as Knuckles the Echidna. Source: Wikipedia.org
For those who stumble across these videos, a speed run is a video of a person or persons, completing a game as fast as possible using any means possible. This can include glitches, abusing in-game mechanics and skipping items or even playing events out of sequence.
