    Toys R Us 20th anniversary display
    In Toys R Us stores of the UK area, you'll probably find these cool displays in 2011. They're both here to celebrate the 20th Anniversary. The tall one is an aisle end-cap type free-standing one, to showcase only Sonic games, regardless of if they're on sale or not. The second…

The second set of cards is somewhat less impressive. All they did was take screencaps of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 for the Genisis, and add in really poor stock art. It is often mis-used, wrongly sized, misplaced or just inappropriate. The sprites would have looked better.

The backs have various profiles (not really) for the different robots, and little tips for the games. Some are useful, and some are rather obvious, but that is to be expected.

They were going for a classy look, with a nice font to label each level, and they could've done it without the stock art. Why is Tails laying down in the water fall? Why is the special stage called "Warp of Confusion"?

Some of the profiles are useful (EX: Rexxon has a riddle which implies you can stand on the body once you kill the head) but others are downright funny (Clucker "Oh no a chicken with a mission--beware!") It also claims Grabber (spider from chem plant) is 'unpopular'. Umm ok. And that you race Aquis (sea horse in Oil Ocean) But aquis rarely moves, except to shoot a single pellet as you pass.

There are 31 regular cards in the screenshot series. The foil cards added 6 more to the total count.
