Sonic and Knuckles & Sonic 3 Description

<p>robotnik never gives up. in sonic 2 you thought you destroyed the doctor’s evil death egg machine. you were wrong! in this 16-meg, two-player game, the sinister doctor’s latest scrambled plan is to rebuild the death egg machine and crack up sonic once and for all.</p><p>sonic’s teamed up once again with his trusty sidekick, tails. they’re fighting the doctor’s latest collection of mechanical menaces on an island paradise gone robotnik. there are six all-new zones on the island: angel island, hydro city, marble garden, carnival night, the ice cap zone, and the launch base.</p><p>each has two huge acts, with the multiple pathways and the secret areas you’ve come to expect in a sonic game. there’s also a brand new incarnation of robotnik to battle at the end -of each act. the all-new graphics are the icing on the cake. they give sonic a much more three-dimensional look and include many animations for each character.</p><h2>sonic and knuckles &amp; sonic 3 is a well-rounded game</h2><p>the game play in this game is true-blue sonic. he runs, jumps, ricochets off enemies, and activates his mighty spin dash to leap tail ledges and cliffs in a single bound. when you play alone, you can even use controller two to get some help from tails, who can fly above sonic and lift him up to hard-to-reach areas.</p><p>in addition to the standard power-up monitors, there are three new power-ups. the original shield is gone, but now sonic can grab either a water shield, an electric shield, or a fire shield. each shield empowers sonic with a new special move and protects him against that type of elemental danger. for example, with the water shield, sonic doesn’t need to remain underwater.</p><p>as usual, there’s an awesome new special stage, but there’s also a cool new bonus round. during the special stage, you race across the surface of a huge globe, trying to grab blue orbs and dodge red ones. if you grab all the blues, you’ve got a shot at the chaos emerald (and, yes, of course you have to grab all the chaos emeralds to see the real ending).</p><p>you enter the bonus rounds by finding secret rooms with giant rings in them. here sonic ricochets off a huge gumball machine and grabs all kinds of power-ups.</p><p>other new surprises include a new character named knuckles, an echidna (look it up, jack), who’s a real practical joker. there are also some fun variations in two-player mode, including larger split-screen graphics. in two-player contests you can race as sonic, tails, or knuckles, and you can compete in grand prix, match race, or time attack.</p><p>in grand prix, you race through five zones (azure lake, balloon park, chrome gadget, desert palace, and endless mine). in match play, you go head-to- head against a bud in the zone of your choice. time attack pits you against the cpu.<br> the word</p><p>when it comes to sonic, sega always delivers something new and different. ‘nuff said! enjoy the pix and welcome to the next level — sonic-style.</p>
