A lightning quick hedgehog is the perfect oxymoron for a video game character, and it is one that has served Sonic the Hedgehog well for a whopping 30 years now.

Much alike to the first Synchro Hedgehogs title, and the two Butterfly games that have recently landed on console, 2 Synchro Hedgehogs tells the all too familiar tale of an animal embarking on a journey for… something.
