Sonic Triple TroubleFrom Sonic Retro
Sonic Triple Trouble, called Sonic & Tails 2 (ソニック＆テイルス２) in Japan, was released in November 1994. Just like Sonic Chaos, you can play as either Sonic or Tails. Unlike Sonic Chaos, this game was exclusively released for the Game Gear and no Sega Master System version was ever made, though Glitch made an unofficial port to the Master System in May 2009. This game was the debut of Fang the Sniper, and Knuckles the Echidna's first appearance in a Game Gear game. There was an Archie comics adaption of this game which not only featured Nack the Weasel but also Vector the Crocodile and Octobot, which was published in October 1995. Sonic Triple Trouble was developed by Aspect Co. Ltd, just like Sonic 2, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Blast and Tails Adventure.
GameplayThis exclusive Game Gear game is much larger in size than its predecessors. The gameplay experience is much more in line with the Sonic games of the Genesis. This is the first Sonic game in which all of the players rings are not lost after getting hurt; rather, 50 rings will be lost via spike damage, and 30 rings for most other types of damage. Two characters are also available for play, Sonic or Tails. Sonic has the ability to do the Spin Dash ( The game contains 6 Chaos Emeralds total, 5 of which are collected in Special Stages. To access a Special Stage, find the Warp Gate Item monitor: there's a single Gate hidden in the first two Acts of each Zone. If there at least 50 rings in the inventory when the Warp Gate Item monitor is broken a circle of stars appears which is the entry way to the Special Stage. There are three sidescrolling special stages and two 3rd person stages in which Sonic or Tails pilots the Tornado collecting rings. The last Emerald is obtained automatically after defeating Robotnik in the final level. ItemsThe Pogo Spring and Rocket shoes from Sonic Chaos return. Warp Gates are new to the game and grant the player the ability to warp to the Special stage if 50 rings are collected before breaking it. There are two vehicles, the Screw Shoes in Tidal Plant, and Snowboard in Robotnik Winter which can only be used by Sonic. The Rocket Shoes are also a Sonic only item. Tails has an exclusive item called the High Speed Helitail which acts the same as Sonic's Rocket Shoes. There are also Time Item boxes which can be found in the side scrolling Bonus Stages and will revert the time back to 1:30. End Level PanelAt the end of Acts 1 and 2 of each level, a panel is spun, with a reward given based on what it lands on:
