Naoto Ohshima, who designed Sonic and his nemesis Dr. Eggman, recently shared a fun tidbit on Twitter. In short, he originally planned an action game that would feature a pair of spiky-haired twins trying to save a world and this concept eventually evolved into the Sonic we all know and love.

In shared art, we can see that the iconic Green Hill Zone loops seem to have been an idea all along. It’s also interesting that the twins had blue and red hair that reminds me of Sonic and his echidna friend Knuckles. It looks like the original game would have been called Twin stars also. This is a beautiful piece of gaming history. What do you think of the original designs for the various characters?
