Sonic 3 and Knuckles: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

''Sonic & Knuckles''' lock-on technology also worked with the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' cartridge, allowing you to play ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]''. The developers attempted to implement a similar feature with the original ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', but found [[Game Breaking Bug|that Knuckles' color palette was incompatible with the game's]] (though a [[Game Mod|fan hack]] eventually proved that Knuckles could indeed be implemented in ''Sonic 1''). Instead, combining the two cartridges gives you the ''[[Blue Sphere]]'' minigame, with many, many, many, many, many, ''many'' [[Overly Long Gag|(did we mention many?)]] variations on the Special Stage.

''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]'', is ~~a direct follow-up to this game~~, though the [[Excuse Plot]] of ''Episode I'' doesn't suggest it.

The game has had at least two direct follow-ups.''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]'', is one, though the [[Excuse Plot]] of ''Episode I'' and the significantly altered gameplay doesn't suggest it, where-as ''[[Sonic Mania]]'' directly positions itself as a sequel in the opening cinematic, sidestepping 4 entirely, and returns to the original gameplay formula.
