This is a review for Sonic 3 & Knuckles, not Sonic & Knuckles single. Well this is a great game. My Sonic charts are-
5. Sonic 1: Master system.
4. Sonic adventure: Dreamcast.
3. Sonic advance: Game boy advance.
Joint 2. S3&k and Sonic 1: Mega-Drive or Genesis in the states.
1. Sonic adventure 2: Dreamcast, Gamecube and PS2.
This game carries on straight from Sonic 2. The Death egg crash lands on Angel island, and Eggman meats the owner; Knuckles. Knuckles makes friends with Eggman, and gets convinced that Sonic & Tails are bad guys! So when Eggman hears that there is a master emerald on the island making it float, Eggman tells Knuckles that Sonic is after it. Sonic is having a break, flying in the Tornado Bi-plane with Tails, when he notices the island. Sonic is keen to explore, but Knuckles steals all of south islands chaos emeralds from Sonic! Plus he sees badniks roaming the place. So Sonic sets off to stop Robotnik and get the emeralds back. The plot twists and turns, and in the end it turns into Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fighting Eggman in space. Here's a list of the awsome levels!
1-Angel Island 80%
2-Hidrocity 86%
3-Marble Gardens 75%
4-Carnival Nights 82%
5-Ice cap 90%
6-Launch base city 92%
7-Mushroom hills 88%
8-Flying battery 89%
9-Sandopolis desert 77%
10-Lava Reef 86%
11-Knuckles Hidden palace 82%
12-Sky sanctury 88%
13-The Death Egg Zone 89%
14-Domesday 91%
15-Nuclear secret zone(I'm not sure how you unlock this)95%
Verdict: A great game that involves action, adventure and sharp platforming skills. Should be in every Genisis collection. 93%

This game has tons of neat things. Hook on most games, and get a special stage. Hooking on Sonic one lets you play a whole bunch. Hook on sonic 2 and play as knuckles in sonic 2. Sonic 3 is neat too. Find out about the super emeralds. Or play regularly with lots of levels. The Game Genie is good on this game. (Very rare but fun. I have one)

Part 2 Of Sonic 3

The Last major Sonic action game for the Genesis, Sonic and Knuckles is actually a second part of STH3, it continus the story, it is not a whole new story. It connects with sonic2 and 3 to make all new games, you can play it by itself and be sonic or knuckles, with sonic 2 you can play as knuckles in his own story, with sonic3 this is the ultimate adventure, play as sonic, tails or knuckles in thier own story and discover the emeralds, a must have if you want to see how great this game is.

Cool Game

Not only is this the second part of Sonic 3, you also get to play as Knuckles! Knuckles has differnt abitlies than Sonic. For starts, he can climb things and glide for long distances. Very fun and challenging Sonic platformer. Get board with the levels but still wish you could play as Knuckles? That's fine! Becaus it also attaches to Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 so you can play as Knuckles. A nice added bonus which takes this game far!

Sonic and Knuckles is wonderful.

This by itself is a great game.Play as either Sonic or Knuckles and blast through stages.The graphics and levels are great and its simply the best in the series at least the Genesis era series.When you put Sonic 3 onto this game you get a true masterpiece on your hands especially if you play as Knuckles.I say get this game you wont regret it.

Classic; 1 of a Kind

I've played this on computer and it hasn't lost it's touch. When you combine Sonic 3 with Sonic & Knuckles, you gain a more intense game. With the combination of stages between Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, the more fun you will have. When you combine Sonic 2 w/ Sonic & Knuckles, you'll only play with Knuckles; nevertheless, it will sill have more intensity.

Sonic & Knuckles-it rocks!

Released only a few months after Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles has this lock-on feature. You can "lock-on" Sonic 3 and Sonic 2 and play as Knuckles in both of those games! Sounds complicated you say? Nope! The top of the S&K cartridge has a top you can flip, revealing a place to stick another cartridge in it! It will only work on 3 and 2 though. Simple!

As for the game, it rocks! Review time!

Graphics:10/10: Wow! Pretty impressive for a 1994 game. The backgrounds and sprites are simply colorful and beautiful!

Sounds:8/10: Pretty much the same.

Music:10/10: Great music! Very catchy and stylish!

Gameplay:10/10: Sonic's back, bigger, faster, and tougher than ever!!...but why play as Sonic when you got Knuckles? Knuckles can climb walls and glide, something Sonic can't do. There are many worlds with 2 HUGE levels each!

Pros:
-Great graphics

- Catchy soundtrack

- Good level of challange

- Play as Sonic or Knuckles

- Bosses and mini-bosses are fun and interesting!

- Chaos Emeralds are well hidden

- Fun 50-ring mini-games

-Levels are HUGE!

Cons:

-Levels are maybe a little TOO huge

- Where's Tails?

- No 2-player games [like anybody cares?]

-Maybe too hard for the little ones

- Can't save, unlike Sonic 3



In conclusion- Got a Genesis? Then you HAVE TO GET THIS!!!

Sonic and Knuckles

This is one of the best Sonic games ever made. No kidding. Especially since the new ones suck.
Erm...ahem. Anyways.
Gameplay in this is wonderful--as smooth and sweet as the other Genesis Sonic games. The new powerups took some getting used to--I didn't realize that you could do things with them until a while after I began playing. The graphics are lovely--although the sprites of Knuckles, while thorough, leave a little to be desired. Sonic's story is very well put together, but Knuckles' is a bit short. Overall, however, this is a wonderful game.
Also, this is (I believe) the only Genesis cartridge that can link to others--it can hook up to Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 so that you can play those games as Knux.
If you have a Genesis, I would recommend that you buy this game as soon as possible.
