Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is set to arrive on the Japanese Panasonic P902iS mobile phone. SEGA’s Sonic Channel Sonic 2 mobile page states that all 11 levels will be available on release, however it is still undecided as to whether the game should be split in two as with the first installment.

Sonic 2 will include the entire Genesis game, but with some slight edits for the smallest screen, such as an adjustment of the view of the playing field since few cell phones -- including the P902iS have the same screen ratio as tradition tube TVs. Even the between-zone mini-game where Sonic and Tails shoot the tubes is present. This is where you could pick some some major score bonuses.

Check out this first batch of screenshots to get a sneak peek at Sonic's next cell phone adventure (in Japan, at least).

There are no current plans for the mobile game to arrive in America any time soon. How lucky for Japan!
