Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, released as Sonic & Tails 2 (ソニック&テイルス2) in Japan, is a 2D Sonic the Hedgehog platform game released for the Sega Game Gear in November 1994. Unlike its predecessor 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.
Triple Trouble was developed by Aspect Co. Ltd, just like Sonic 2, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Blast and Tails Adventures.

Story
Dr. Eggman succeeds in acquiring the six Chaos Emeralds without Sonic knowing, and uses them to test the ultiimate superweapon. Unfortunately, a big mistake was made during testing, and the resulting explosion scatters the Chaos Emeralds across the planet. Eggman successfully reclaims one of the Emeralds, but he has no idea where the other five have gone.
Sonic and Tails sense the incident happening, and the two immediately spring into action to find out where the Chaos Emeralds have gone to. Standing in their way, however, is Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of Angel Island, who appears to have been tricked by Eggman into thinking that Sonic and Tails are villains trying to conquer the world with the Chaos Emeralds, and is determined to get in the heroes' way at every turn. On top of all this, there is a third antagonist to the plot: Fang the Sniper, a treasure hunter who has somehow discovered the Chaos Emeralds and is keeping them for himself in subspace[6], though according to the US instruction manual, he has no idea of the Emeralds' true power, but he is keen on making a handsome price off of them in the black market.[7] With three villains to go up against, Sonic and Tails set out to reclaim the Chaos Emeralds and stop Dr. Eggman once again.
Gameplay
This 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 ( + jump) and the Super Peel-Out ( + jump) as he does in Sonic Chaos. Tails has the ability of flight, which is still done by pressing and jump from a standing position. There are also two new power-ups introduced; these are character exclusive so they cannot be used by both characters.
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.
Items
The 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 monitors depicting a Chaos Emerald. There are two vehicles, the Propeller Shoes in Tidal Plant Zone, and the Snowboard in Robotnik Winter Zone which can only be used by Sonic. The Rocket Shoes are also a Sonic-only item. Tails has an exclusive item called the Hyper Heli-Tails which acts the same as Sonic's Rocket Shoes, and his own exclusive vehicle, the Sea Fox. 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.
Bonus panel
At the end of Acts 1 and 2 of each level, a panel is spun, with a reward given based on what it lands on:
- Flicky: No prize.
- Ring: 10 rings added to final ring tally.
- Sonic: Sonic gets a 1-up, Tails gets 10,000 points.
- Tails: Tails gets a 1-up, Sonic gets 10,000 points.
- Knuckles: A continue is awarded
- Chaos Emerald: Start the next act with 50 rings.
- Back of Panel: The panel must be spun again.
