After reading this about ports vs. remakes, it had a section on Sonic being ported to just about every system since its release [not including ones pre-Genesis]

Sonic the Hedgehog (GEN) ported to EVERYTHING!
The original Sonic the Hedgehog was fantastic, but wow. Can you name a system this game hasn't been on? You can't! And that is what's wrong with these ports. Sonic the Hedgehog should be a classic, but it has been prostituted on so many systems that I don't want to see it again. Whether it is alone or on a Genesis/Sonic compilation, it has been ported to Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, Xbox, Wii, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, Sega Master System, iPod, iPhone, Dreamcast, numerous cell-phones, and soon Nintendo DS. And it makes me sick.

I was wondering, could this be a world record for the most amount of ports for a single game?

Anyone got a list of DOOM ports? I think there might be more...

Sonic the Hedgehog is the Tetris of platforming games, it seems like.

[Enzo Aquarius]

Probably so, though, as mentioned above, I'm sure Tetris beats out Sonic 1 on that...

Unless Atari and Nintendo want to start releasing Sonic 1 on their old consoles.

Someone contact him and tell him the Sega Master System version is a completely different game, not a port, then paste his response here.

^This. DOOM is the most ported game in history!

Name a console/phone its probably been on it. STH1 doesnt even compare in my opinion!

[RGamer2009]

You all forgot the most ported game of all time...

[Machenstein]

What about the Gizmondo? Were there any Sonic games for that thing?

[Metal-Geo]

I'm surprised he didn't name Metal Slug.

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

I think Street Fighter 2 also beats out Sonic fairly quickly, since it's been on every console system Sonic's been on -plus- the Playstation and SNES, and the only way Sonic can outdo is more mobile ports..

NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Amiga, Atari 2600/5200/7800, Nintendo Game and Watch, Nintendo Gameboy/Color/Advance (genesis doesn't count because spindash was added), Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, Atari Lynx/Jaguar, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn (jam doesn't count because the Spindash was added), Sega 32X, Sega CD

And I'm spent.

Nintendo DS: Sonic Classics collection is gonna fix that.

Sony PSP: I'm sure I heard of a PSP Genesis Collection that has S1 on there.

Unless those don't count, either?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the majority of those are not ports: they're emulated. In fact, I think the only *true* port on that list is the GBA version.

Sonic Jam, Sonic on mobile phones.

...

Wait, when was Sonic ported to the Atari systems and Game and Watch?

Final Fantasy would like to have a word with you, Sonic.
