Sonic’s pretty much everywhere in the game, from the menus to having multiple copies of himself following you around at all times in the game itself. Sonic, as far as we’re all aware, has never had any formal education, making his sudden interest in schooling children more than a little sinister. In Sonic’s Schoolhouse, you don’t play as the hedgehog himself, but instead a poorly-rendered cartoon animal that Sonic has presumably abducted to “play in his schoolhouse”. Before this, we had Sonic’s Edusoft, a cancelled Master System title brought to you by Tiertex, masters of butchering your favorite Capcom franchises. It should be noted, however, that this is not the first attempt at a educational Sonic game. In the time between the Genesis and the Dreamcast, it seemed like nobody had any idea what to do with Sega’s mascot, including Sega themselves, thus offering the only explanation on how this came to exist. It’s entirely fair, however, when you slap in a once beloved character like Sonic the Hedgehog into a bare-bones edutainment title that will offer neither education or entertainment of any sort. It might not be entirely fair to single out an educational game for this sort of article.
