It's a day at school...Sonic style! Yes, this is another one of those "edutainment" titles.
We've been through all of this already. Apparently if kids are to learn, you have to insult
their intelligence. I've had my intelligence insulted all my life, and just look how I
turned out...

Sonic's Schoolhouse

November, 1996

Everyone's favorite blue hedgehog puts a zing and a twist on the standard "day at school"
routine, in a 3D virtual schoolhouse environment. The object is developing skills in the three
R's as kids earn gumballs for a Sonic pass, the ticket to a cool field trip adventure. Kids
start by entering any one of four classrooms, then checking out the problems on the blackboards
and hunting down the answers. Each correct answer earns a gumball, and a series of correct
answers opens the door to other classrooms. (But keep an eye on that bully Robotnik, who'll try
to steal your gumballs!)
In an interesting twist for an educational game, there is also a 2-player split-screen mode.
Gameplay is identical, only your opponent may also try to steal the gumballs you've earned (and
vice versa). It's hard to imagine why on earth kids would try to earn gumballs from correct
answers when they could just sit around trying to steal them from their opponent...
