| comment=''Sega Magazine'' writer Tom Guise challenges readers to find the elusive "Rankles", Knuckles' green otter sidekick with outsize sparkly ankles in ''Sonic & Knuckles''. Winners would receive £1 million, were it not for the fact the character was a work of fiction. The real contest was to photograph (or "accurately describe") the ending to ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'' for a chance to win a [[sega:Sega Multi-Mega|Sega Multi-Mega]].

The writers overall impression is positive, but they criticise the lack of improvement over ''Sonic 3'' and linear levels.
