We are proud to announce today that the Summer of Sonic will be visited by the Guinness World Records team, who will be keeping a close eye on the events throughout the day to see if any high score records are being broken in the Dragon Hall (make sure that’s the only thing you break though!).

In particular, the Games Zone will have a special table dedicated to run-throughs of Emerald Hill Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive. Working with Twin Galaxies, the online high-score leaderboards, the Guinness World Records will be present in tallying gamer’s fastest times in both Act 1 and Act 2 of the iconic first Zone. Be sure to practice, and do your best on the day!

The fastest gamers will be on stage from 1.30pm with online gaming website Sonic Cage Dome to face off against one another, for the chance to win an awesome prize pack along with an official Guinness World Records certificate - plus consideration for inclusion into the 2009 Edition of the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition book!
