Sonic the Hedgehog (iPod) is a port of Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) for use on game-compatible iPod's, available under the Sega Mobile banner. Game-compatible iPod's include the fifth-generation iPod, iPod classic and third-generation iPod nano.
The game is controlled by using the iPod's Click Wheel to move and the center button is used for jumping. Alternately there is a second control set-up in which players touch the screen to move Sonic. Either control scheme can make the game more challenging than it originally was.
The game is faithful to the console version but adds a few new features. The game has a new auto-save feature which will save the game at the beginning of any level that is reached. There is also an unlimited number of continues. An in-game tutorial is also available to help new players get accustomed to the game.
