The choice was then limited between an armadillo and a hedgehog and it was the second that was chosen. But to adapt to the constraint of a fast game, the hero of the game should not make too much movement and it was then imagined that to defeat the enemies the hero had to curl into a ball. To find the hero who would accompany this concept, a drawing competition was launched and a little blue rabbit created by Naoto Ōshima was selected from among more than 200 sketches. Yuji Naka then imagined a fast and dynamic platform game in which the best players could complete each level as quickly as possible thanks to their skills. Sega needed a benchmark game for its new console, but one that could stand out from the competition. In the early 1990s the developer Yuji Naka was given a mission by the boss of Sega in order to be able to make the Megadrive (Genesis) compete with the worldwide popularity of Nintendo and its super star Mario.
