My favorite Sega title for its contribution to the platformer genre is "Sonic the Hedgehog." Its fast-paced gameplay, vibrant graphics, and catchy soundtrack revolutionized platforming, setting a benchmark for speed-based mechanics. Sonic's iconic loop-de-loops and engaging level design not only defined Sega's identity but also influenced countless games that followed.
