Yesterday, Derrick brought us The Joy of Sonic as assembled by Docfuture, the Internet's premiere professional Let's Play putter-togehter. Docfuture's playthrough of the original Sonic the Hedgehog is a relaxing video that comforts us like a blanket on a rainy day.

Feeling relaxed and empowered? Then you're ready to travel through Docfuture's follow-up project: Let's Play Sonic 2: Special Edition.
Sonic 2: Special Edition is a barely known (and, as some portions of this Let's Play will indicate, barely finished) 32X/Sega CD re-creation of the Genesis' beloved Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Few mortals have seen it, but we are blessed because Docfuture's father nabbed the prototype when he worked at Nintendo. The game did make an appearance on an episode Nick Arcade, where a little pigtailed girl lost the challenge to beat Robotnik within thirty seconds accompanied by Dragonforce music that wouldn't come into existence for something like another six years.
