Neo Sonic Universe While walking along, Sonic happens to meet Shadow on the way. Shadow doesn't seem to behave like he should and push Sonic down the pit with a Chao Emerald. Sonic falls down a lake when he hears the voice of his friend Tikal saying that his other friends - Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Shadow - have been captured by the evil Templest (the "Shadow" Sonic saw before). Now it's up to Sonic to rescue all his friends before Templest does anything bad to them!

Neo Sonic Universe is a parody inspired by the Sonic the Hedgehog series. At the very beginning of the game, players take control of Sonic. The other characters (Sonic's captured friends) can be unlocked one by one as players proceed. Players move their character to the goal while trying to wipe out enemies and avoid obstacles on the way. Obstacles and enemies are various, depending on the levels. When players reach the goal, they have to defeat a boss there to proceed. Players attack enemies mostly by jumping onto them, but there are some special moves which players can use. Different characters has different special move. Rings are not only point-earners but also life saviors: when players hit an enemies, they will not die if they have rings. Instead, rings will be shattered all over the place. Doing so will kill the players if they don't have any rings. There are also other items such as ring boxes (give players more rings), invincibility (makes players invincible for a short time), life boxes (gives players a life)... There is a bonus level in each level which can be obtained by getting 3 "Tikal face". All bonus levels have the same objective: playing snowboarding and getting enough rings to earn a Chao Emerald.

The graphics are in 2D. The player's progress is automatically saved. The game features two game modes: Normal mode and Battle mode. In Battle mode, you use the current characters to battle with the computer or with the other player. [source:mobygames]
