| | + | '''''Sonic 3 & Knuckles''''' is a game that results when ''[[Sonic 3]]'' is locked-on to ''[[Sonic & Knuckles]]'' via [[Lock-On Technology]]. It acts as one large combined game and all the levels from ''Sonic 3'' and ''Sonic & Knuckles'' become available. In [[Sonic Classic Collection]], for unknown reasons, the game was renamed to '''''Knuckles in Sonic 3'''''. |

| − | There are several noticable differences when playing the games combined. [[Knuckles]] is playable in the ''Sonic 3'' levels and [[Tails]] becomes available in the ''Sonic & Knuckles'' levels. Also, all of the levels from both games are accessible, starting from ''Sonic 3''. Once these levels are completed the [[Death Egg]] falls off screen intact instead of being destroyed, and then the play continues straight to the levels of '' Sonic & Knuckles''. The final boss of ''Sonic 3'' is also omitted for [[Sonic]] and Tails. | + | There are several noticeable differences when playing the games combined.

| − | After collecting all the Chaos Emeralds of ''Sonic 3'' a new quest becomes available when entering the first special Stage in [[Mushroom Hill Zone]] which allows you to collect seven new Emeralds called "[[Super Emeralds]]". When these Emeralds are collected, [[Hidden Palace Zone]] will become available, and Sonic can transform into [[Hyper Sonic]] and Knuckles can transform into [[Hyper Knuckles]]. Tails has no Hyper form, but the Super Emeralds are needed for him to transform into [[Super Tails]], as the Chaos Emeralds alone have no effect on him. There are also several other notable differences when playing these two combined games. | + | After collecting all the Chaos Emeralds of ''Sonic 3'' a new quest becomes available when entering the first special Stage in [[Mushroom Hill Zone]] which allows you to collect seven new Emeralds called "[[Super Emeralds]]".
