History VideoGame / SegaSonicBros

The red and yellow Sonic brothers were most likely reimagined into Mighty The Armadillo and Ray The Squirrel, Sonic's teammates in ''VideoGame/SegaSonicTheHedgehog''.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: It's a bit odd to call the Sonics "blocks" when they actually curl into a ball upon landing.

* NintendoHard: The game has somewhat complex rules for a falling blocks puzzle and reaching the limit of either score or speed level is a tall request. It's also easy to create situations where the sides of the play field contain little to no Sonics and it's not easy to get more Sonics inside without also piling up the center six columns in the process as all the blocks the player drops only come in a 2x2 square.

* SmartBomb: The Chaos Emerald block wipes all lines over it and awards bonus points. The way it works encourages players to keep one column free for as long as possible.

During gameplay, 2x2 blocks of blue, red or yellow Sonics fall into the screen and must be erased for as long as possible as you'd expect. To do that, the player must build a line of a single color such that it either encircles a group of blocks or completes a path across any two edges of the board. Clearing Sonics deals a proportionate amount of damage to Dr. Eggman at the middle of the screen until the player is awarded with a Chaos Emerald that will clear all lines over it.

** The single-player mode ends when the player gets 9999990 points.

* PaletteSwap: Sonic is curiously depicted as a brother of triplets. Later on, a white (or light blue) Sonic comes up as well to increase the difficulty.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red Sonic up there on the title screen [[LargeHam certainly]] [[SpotlightStealingSquad catches the eye]], while the original ironically appears stoic by comparison.

* AWinnerIsYou: Should you get 9999990 points, the game ends with the following message:
-->Congratulations! Thank you [[GratuitousEnglish for your playing]]! 9999990! Counter stop! You are super player!

* {{Cap}}: One of the methods of winning in Versus mode is by scoring 300,000 points.

* EarlyBirdCameo: The theme that plays from level 40 on would later be used on the Get Blue Spheres special stage from ''Sonic 3'', which involves converting the edges of square groups of spheres for extra points like in this game.

''[=SegaSonic=] Bros.'' is a FallingBlocks PuzzleGame designed by Fukio Mitsuji of ''VideoGame/BubbleBobble'' fame. Although planned for a 1992 release in arcades, it didn't perform well in location tests and was quietly cancelled by Sega. The game went completely forgotten outside of rumors for over two decades until information on it was disclosed in 2016 by arcade collector [=ShouTime=]. It was finally showcased to the public at the California Extreme event two years later in 2018.
