Okay, who reading this has played Sonic 3 and also tried the first, and only, lock-on cartridge add-on known as Sonic and Knuckles? Did you notice anything weird between the original and the “lock-on” versions? Like missing level enemies, weird level order and even sometimes slightly confusing as to what you are doing and why you are doing it in certain levels? Sonic 3 Complete fixes that by correcting many things that Sega got wrong, including making additions that smooth out the story.

Sonic 3 Complete fixes the transition from Launch Base Zone with a new cutscene explaining what is going on in the next level. LBZ also sees the return of an enemy, tails gets some upgrades and generally, the game is more complete (hence the name).

Interestingly, Sonic 3 Complete is capable of running on real hardware, unlike most ROM hacks.
