A side-scrolling Sonic the Hedgehog platformer for SNK's Neo Geo Pocket Color, released late 1999-early 2000. The level art is mostly based on the Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, while the music is primarily taken from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

It was developed by Dimps, who would go on to develop other games starring Sega's prickly little mascot, such as the Advance trilogy, the Rush titles, the PlayStation 2/Wii versions of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, the DS version of Sonic Colors and the 3DS version of Sonic Generations..

Tropes used in Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure include:
  • Airborne Aircraft Carrier: Aerobase Zone.
  • Alliterative Name: Cosmic Casino.
