It's a brand new game:

the second episode is probably the best in my opinion. I certainly had more fun with that one than I did with episode 1, and I liked the first one too.

BTW, Sonic & Knuckles is technically the fourth Sonic game, since it takes place immediately following the events of Sonic 3, and is the fourth Sonic game for the Megadrive/Genesis.

S&K is a standalone game you silly n00b!

Yes, the cartridge did lock on to sonic 2 or 3 cartridges, but all that did was add a new character to the existing games. Playing S&K by itself gave you a whole new game with whole new levels.

Yes, I too was confused when the game first came out, but the video store guy assured me that it can be played without the other games, and it turned out it was true.

yeah it's slower than sonic 4 episode one and you NEED to use tails in most parts like going through a snow wall

Actually it's not. Because of restrictions like time, Sega made S&K into an expansion. Haven't you wondered why you go straight onto S&K levels when playing with Sonic 3, and why Sonic 3 was so short?

The S&K cart I've rented so many years ago was totally playable on its own.

And I never encountered any S&K levels in Sonic 3.

From what I know you insert the S3 cart into the S&K cart to play as Knuckles in S3.

Maybe the Megadrive and Genesis version of S&K are different.

You don't, because Sega didn't have time to put them in Sonic 3, the S&K levels are levels from Sonic 3 that couldn't get into the final cartridge because of time restrictions, hence why it's so short. S&K are those levels, so S&K is Sonic 3 but the levels that couldn't be fitted onto the cartridge.

Correction: S&K was MEANT to be an expansion to Sonic 3

No it wasn't, it was Sonic 3 but the levels that couldn't be put on the Sonic 3 cartridge.

Isn't that the same thing?

Nope, and expansion is expanding upon the final product, S&K is part of the final product.

That would make it part of Sonic 3.

Which is what I've been saying this whole time.

No it isn't. Sonic 3 was too big for one cart, so they split it.

They were designed as one game

Response to Sonic 4 2013-07-26 17:21:21


Here's the rest of my post, which you ignored:

I didn't

"It's not. It's a stand-alone game that finishes the storyline of Sonic 3. Moreover, the "S&K levels in Sonic 3" were just names on the Level Select screen; contrary to what I may have said earlier, they were inaccessible."

Now shush.
