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.
