Probably the most queer, klunker Sonic game of all, Labyrinth isn't really a Sonic game at all even though it does posess small elements of it. Actually, it's an involving skill game with enchanting music (best ever on Game Gear), loads of secrets, and lots of Sonic stuff! Basically, it's like Marble Madness (Original NES - Which was a smash hi ) with a bit more control and a lot more depth. You can walk, but can't run, and since your biggest enemy is the time limit, you're usually forced to Spin Dash all over the place. However, the trick is - spin dashing too quick can put you off worse than you were. So be wary. Its BIGGEST problem however is that it can be beaten too quick - something no other Sonic game really posesses...
In his latest attempt to slow Sonic down, Dr. Robotnik created a pair of harmless-looking boots that would slow the running speed of anyone who wore them. While Sonic was napping one day, one of Robotnik's Badniks swapped Sonic's normal sneakers with the special ones the Eggman made. When he awoke, Sonic put on the special boots without noticing anything unusual...until he tried to dash off. It was as if his feet were glued to the ground; he could barely move! Robotnik informed him that the only way to take the sneakers off was to use Chaos Emerald power, and the Chaos Emeralds were in Robotnik's mysterious Super Labyrinth. Armed with nothing but his Spin Dash, Sonic headed into the Super Labyrinth to get the Emeralds and restore his speed....
