Sega Sammy Holdings
Hardlight, a British development studio owned by Sega, began developing "Sonic Dash" after completing "Sonic Jump". Selection of the game for development came from the insistence of parent company Sega Sammy Holdings president and COO Haruki Satomi. Although the game received mixed reviews, "Sonic Dash" has reached downloads. Hardlight continues to support the game with updates, additional characters, and features. Sequels have also been produced based on "Sonic Boom" and "Sonic Forces".
