combined with Sonic 3, this shit is one of the best games ever made. Sonic 1 made the base, Sonic 2 enhanced it, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles nearly perfected it. A lot of series staples came from this game

- 13+1 Zones, all distinct from each other
- Top tier of Top tier soundtracks, Not a single bad song. Every level pretty much has its own song
- One of the best Water levels ever made still to this day
- One of the best Ice levels ever made still to this day
- Bonus levels that arent ridiculous. All 4 provide a decent reward
- 3 Playable characters, distinct enough from each other. Knuckles route is basically hard mode and utilizes his abilites well
- 2 player modes
- A minimalist story if you are into that, The emeralds have a story and gameplay purpose now
- One of the best final boss sequences in gaming.
- Michael Jackson's and Brad Buxer's involvement with the music
- The cartridge for S&K could be used on Sonic 1&2, giving you another playthough with Knuckles
- Knuckles existence in general

Seriously tho, fuck anybody who says these games were bad or never good back in the day. Sonic 2 and especially 3&K were badass back in the day and still today. 3&K does have its faults, like marble garden and carnival night, tho

Fair, next
