'''Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I''' is a platforming video game released for the Wii's WiiWare service. It was co-developed by Sonic Team and Dimps, and is the latest installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Sonic 4 picks up right where Sonic and Knuckles left off. With Eggman finally defeated, Sonic runs off to explore new zones and uncharted lands. Dr. Eggman, furious at the destruction of the Death Egg and the failure of his plans, puts all of his most devious schemes into action. In an effort to finally rid himself of Sonic, he revisits – and improves – the very best of his creations.
'''Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I''' is a platforming video game released developed by Dimps and Sonic Team for the [[Wii]]'s [[WiiWare]] service. It is billed as the successor to [[Sonic & Knuckles]] on the [[Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis/Mega Drive]]. Designed to be similar to the classic Genesis games, Sonic 4 combines the traditional 2D gameplay of classic sonic games with 2.5D graphics and new gameplay elements. Players control Sonic running, jumping, and defeating badniks through levels at high speeds. They may also use power-ups such as the iconic speed-up shoes, barrier shields, and invincibility. The game also features special stages where the player must go through a maze, based on the special stages from the original Sonic the Hedgehog, to find the seven Chaos Emeralds; the reward for this is the ability to play as Super Sonic in normal levels, not seen since [[Sonic & Knuckles]].
