'''''Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit''''', known in-game as simply '''''Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble''''', is a [[fan game]] created by Noah N. Copeland. It reimagines the [[Sega Game Gear]] game ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble]]'' as a hypothetical [[sega:Sega Mega Drive|Mega Drive]] game. The game was created in Game Maker over five years, for PC and Android. It features altered level design, a 16-bit aesthetic, and the addition of a mechanic letting the player switch between [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] during gameplay. The game was originally released on August 2, 2022.

The game features near-identical gameplay mechanics and physics to the original Mega Drive games. Players control Sonic and Tails and traverse through levels to reach a boss at the end of each level to complete it, which then transitions into the next act or zone (similar to ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles]]''). Additionally, players can swap between playing as Sonic and Tails during a level to take advantage of each characters' abilities, such as Tails' flight and Sonic's abilities from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'' (the [[Super Peel-Out]]), ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]'' (the [[Homing Attack]]) and ''[[Sonic Mania]]'' (the [[Drop Dash]]).

Special Stages can be accessed in this game by finding [[Giant Ring]]s in hidden places much like in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles]]''. In these Special Stages, Sonic and Tails must race through an obstacle course to reach the [[Chaos Emerald]] at the end before Fang the Sniper does. Sonic and Tails will automatically run forward, and can move side-to-side and jump over obstacles that will slow them down or take away Rings. Rings not only serve as protection against bombs, but also serve as a time limit as they will drain every second. Item capsules can either give Sonic and Tails more Rings, or zap Fang with lightning to slow him down. Some sections will have Sonic and Tails automatically board the [[Tornado]], which can be moved around with all four directional keys to maneuver past obstacles and fly through [[Dash Ring]]s for extra speed.

The Special Stage will end in failure if the player runs out of Rings, falls into a pit, or Fang gets to the Emerald first.

There are a total of six Special Stages to beat - the seventh Chaos Emerald is instead retrieved from Dr. Eggman at the end of Atomic Destroyer Zone.

Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit, known in-game as simply Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, is a fan game created by Noah N. Copeland. It reimagines the Sega Game Gear game Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble as a hypothetical Mega Drive game. The game was created in Game Maker over five years, for PC and later Android and macOS. It features altered level design, a 16-bit aesthetic, and the addition of a mechanic letting the player switch between Sonic and Tails during gameplay. The game was originally released on August 2, 2022.

Not found in the original release, the game features a Competition mode that can be played with one or two players.

Story

The game follows the same beats as the original Game Gear game, but expands the story to take place canonically after Sonic & Knuckles.

Gameplay

The game features near-identical gameplay mechanics and physics to the original Mega Drive games. Players control Sonic and Tails and traverse through levels to reach a boss at the end of each level to complete it, which then transitions into the next Act or Zone (similar to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles).

Controls

These are the default controls set from the beginning of the game. They can be changed via the settings menu.

Characters

Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower
In the main game, Sonic and Tails are always played together as a team, and players can swap between the two characters during a level to take advantage of each characters' abilities. Sonic can use the Strike Dash (from the original Sonic Triple Trouble), the Drop Dash (from Sonic Mania) and shield abilities (from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island), while Tails can fly and swim.

In Competition mode, Sonic and Tails are separate characters.

As a playable character, Fang can use his tail to jump and perform up to two double jumps in the air with  A , however he must land on top of enemies to defeat them this way.

Special Stage

Special Stages can be accessed in this game by finding Giant Rings in hidden places much like in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. In these Special Stages, Sonic and Tails must race through an obstacle course to reach the Chaos Emerald at the end before Fang the Sniper does. Sonic and Tails will automatically run forward, and can move side-to-side and jump over obstacles that will slow them down or take away Rings. Rings not only serve as protection against bombs, but also serve as a time limit as they will drain every second. Item capsules can either give Sonic and Tails more Rings, or zap Fang with lightning to slow him down. Some sections will have Sonic and Tails automatically board the Tornado, which can be moved around with all four directional keys to maneuver past obstacles and fly through Dash Rings for extra speed.

The Special Stage will end in failure if the player runs out of Rings, falls into a pit, or Fang gets to the Emerald first. In such cases, the player is given the option to use one life to retry the Special Stage provided they have enough lives remaining, or give up and return to the Zone they entered from. There are a total of six Special Stages to beat - the seventh Chaos Emerald is instead retrieved from Dr. Eggman at the end of Atomic Destroyer Zone.

Only Sonic and Tails can enter the Special Stages. For other characters, all Giant Rings are replaced with groups of normal Rings.
