[[Category: Hardware]]
 
A special feature found on [[Sonic & Knuckles]] for the [[Sega Genesis]] that allowed a player to connect an older Sonic game, such as [[Sonic the Hedgehog 3]], to the cartridge for extended gameplay. Lock-On Technology works by using special circuitry that combines multiple ROM chips into a single address space. The result is that the console thinks that one big cartridge is plugged in.
 
 
 
Lock-On Technology also enables a special 256K ROM chip when [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]] is connected. This extra ROM chip is required for proper gameplay in [[Knuckles in Sonic 2]].
 
 
 
When a non-Sonic game (or [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]) is plugged in, the result is a game of [[Blue Sphere]] special stages.
