Sonic The Hedgehog on the SNES

Digital Foundry did a breakdown of a Sonic the Hedgehog demo optimised for the SNES by TiagoSC.

Unlike today, pixel-for-pixel identical ports aren’t possible – SNES was a very different machine to Mega Drive/Genesis – so there are necessary differences, which makes the port all the more fascinating.
