Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Description

Sonic and Tails must stop Dr. Robotnik from rebuilding his Death Egg, which crash landed on the Floating Island. This island floats because of the power of the Chaos Emeralds. You must get them before Robotnik does. However, Knuckles the Echidna, an inhabitant of the Floating Island tries to prevent you from doing so.

Guide Sonic and Tails through 6 zones, each 3 times bigger than those found in Sonic 2. Collect rings, defeat enemies, look for bonus stages to get all Chaos Emeralds. You can save your game and choose from levels you've already visited. You can also race against the clock in a time trial mode or 2 player mode.

Trivia

Due to time constraints, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 had to be released before it was completed. The extra material that was intended to be in this game became Sonic & Knuckles. By plugging Sonic the Hedgehog 3 into the top of the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, you can play the full game as it was meant to be.
