Final Sonic 2 Trailer Reveals A New Twist On Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik
The final trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has made its way online, and fans worldwide are buzzing about it. Not only does the final trailer bring the humor, action, and personal drama together to the forefront, it also reveals an unforeseen twist for Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his already-twisted designs for world domination.

The latter of those two plans often backfires, leaving Sonic and company to clean up Robotnik's mess and restore the balance of the world before it all falls apart.
