Two-Player still isn't as fun as the main game, but it's much improved over Sonic 2. Or, duke it out in all five Zones in the Grand Prix mode. Practice in the Time Attack mode, then take on another player for the best time in a Match Race in a one-zone contest.

Each of this mode's five Zones is unique, and you can play three ways. The split screen has been enlarged to full-screen size, making it a beck of a lot easier to track your racer. The Two-Player mode's new face-lift ups the fun factor and saves your eyesight, too. Remember that Controller Two can be used to maneuver the other character. Either way, the other character tags along. Tails' ability to fly gives the game different twist when you play as him. If you're playing solo, you can take on Robotnik as either Sonic or Tails. Speed through this area before you're trapped by falling pillars.

In the second Act of the Marble Garden Zone, an earthquake hits. The airlift is a little tricky, but the rest of Sonic's moves are simple, and the precise controls make him easy to maneuver. Tails can fly or swim for a limited time, and, when you're playing as Sonic, Tails can grab Sonic and airlift him away. If you quickly tap any button twice, Sonic gets a few seconds of Shield protection. He has his usual repertoire of moves and a new move called the Insta-Shield. Sonic's as fast as ever and even faster in some areas of the game.

I do not know for sure if that is true (I like to think it is) what I can tell you for sure is that the music in this game is awesome! There has always been the rumor that Michael Jackson had something to do with this.
#ANGEL ISLAND SONIC 3 HD SERIES#
If I had to pick a favorite soundtrack from the Sonic series hands down it would be Sonic the Hedgehog 3. While we all know that the tunes from the first game are classics. The soundtrack is amazing as you would expect from a Sonic game. Each section of the game has its own theme and style. From the lush jungles of Angel Island to the wackiness of Carnival Zone to the breathtakingly cold Ice Cap Zone. Each of the zones has its own style, but the amount of details and scope of each one is amazing. The leap from Sonic 2 to this is just staggering and it is one aspect of the game that does not get talked about enough for me. The visuals of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 are some of the best that the Genesis has to offer.

It is crazy stuff and things just feel much “larger” in scale than in the previous Sonic games. However, he is being assisted by Knuckles who thinks that Sonic is bad, not to mention there is now a giant Chaos Emerald as well. You see to get the complete experience you need Sonic & Knuckles as well. Talking about the “story” of this game is rather hard.
