In retro information, I am celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the piggybacking oddity that was Sonic & Knuckles for Mega Drive. Dubbed “lock-on know-how” by Sega, the normal thought was to pop the high on this adapter and slap on both a Sonic 3 or Sonic 2 cartridge to inject a playable Knuckles the Echidna in. With Sonic 2, that meant ol’ mate punchy might be used to wall-climb and inexplicably glide in the common degree layouts.
In Sonic 3, nevertheless, the adjustments have been extra profound (assume: tweaked degree routes, a brand new “Tremendous Emerald” assortment layer, and the likelihood to unlock Hyper Sonic/Knuckles/Tails with a True Ending). Mainly, it was proto DLC that I recall pondering was “heaps rad.”
