Introduction
Sonic: Before the Sequel (also known as Sonic BTS) is a fan game created by LakeFeperd that takes place between the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The game follows Sonic and Tails as they team up to stop Dr. Eggman from launching the Death Egg. Sonic BTS is a love letter to the classic Sonic games, featuring fast-paced platforming, catchy music, and challenging levels.
Gameplay
Sonic BTS plays very similarly to the classic Sonic games. Players control Sonic or Tails as they run, jump, and spin their way through a variety of levels. Each level is filled with enemies, traps, and puzzles. Players must use their skills to overcome these obstacles and reach the end of the level.
One of the unique features of Sonic BTS is the ability to switch between Sonic and Tails at any time. Sonic is faster and more powerful, while Tails can fly and swim. This allows players to use the strengths of both characters to overcome different challenges.

The story of Sonic BTS is simple but effective. Dr. Eggman has stolen the Chaos Emeralds and is using them to power the Death Egg. Sonic and Tails must team up to stop Eggman and save the world.
The game’s story is told through a series of cutscenes. The cutscenes are well-written and feature charming dialogue between Sonic and Tails. The story is also full of humor, which helps to keep the game feeling light and fun.

Sonic BTS features pixelated graphics that are reminiscent of the classic Sonic games. The graphics are colorful and detailed, and they do a great job of capturing the look and feel of the original games.
The game’s soundtrack is also excellent. The music is catchy and upbeat, and it helps to create a sense of excitement and adventure.
