About 1 hours to beat the main story of Sonic the Hedgehog, and about 2 hours with some of the side content. The story figure is the average for players who went to the credits without much of the side content, so a playthrough that wanders runs longer.
About 1 hours for the main story, 2 hours with some extras and 3 hours for 100%, going by the averages IGDB players have logged.
About 3 hours to complete Sonic the Hedgehog fully, about 2.7 times the main story.
