Play as Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles and immerse yourself in the fully remastered gameplay, tie the games together with all new animations, explore added features, modes, and more. The versions of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic CD in this compilation are ports of the remasters previously released for mobile, platforms, with the added Drop Dash ability from Sonic Mania. The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles version is brand new for this compilation, and is also a remaster in the same way that the other titles, also adding the Drop Dash ability. This version had part of its soundtrack changed, swapping the songs for those present in the PC port of the Sonic & Knuckles Collection.
