VIDEO: Man dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog outruns Luas train in Dublin

Anybody who had the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Sega MegaDrive back in the ’90s will get a kick out of this.

Film maker Emlyn Lewis has recorded a man chasing and outrunning the Luas train in Dublin, baffling passers by and entertaining passengers into the bargain.

He stayed with the train for 2km but didn't collect any rings or attain extra lives along the way.
