Sonic the Hedgehog 3/Comparisons

Back to: Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Localisation comparisons

Japanese version

Western versions

Like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the Japanese version of Sonic 3 tends to prefer to call Tails by his first name, "Miles". Due to the way Sonic 3 is designed, however, the only time the change is seen is when a score card appears. Here, "Miles" completes an act, though unlike Sonic 2 there is an inconsistency, as the life icon uses "Tails" across all versions of the game.

Music

When Playing Sonic 3 In The Sonic & Knuckles Collection or Sonic & Knuckles Certain Music Tracks Change This Include.

Carnival Night, Ice Cap, Launch Base, Knuckles Theme, the Credits Theme, the 1UP Theme, the Continue Theme, the Miniboss Theme and the Competition Menu

For the Sonic & Knuckles Collection this could be because Midi can't handle voice samples well.
