holy shit I can finally play the MP competition mode in Sonic 2 without the inherent slowdown.
Why didn't you tell me about this before?

For me? It's Jam.

inb4 the autistic anti-Saturn anon that nitpicks the speed shoes reloading the music track because it's on CD.

Yeah, I know what I will be playing tonight.
Sonic 3.

Definitive way to play Sonic 3.

I can't properly emulate this game, but can anyone confirm if this includes the full Sonic 2 manual and if it mentions the Roaming Romans in it?

People often love to point out how Sonic 2 has some slowdown on this (even though the original also has slowdowns in parts this one doesn't) but nobody ever mentions that Sonic Jam fixes a lot of other issues the original Genesis games have, like music and sound effects no longer having to share the same channels, so the music in, for example, Ice Cap Act 2 doesn't get fucked up with Sonic's spindash sound, or how the 2-player mode in Sonic 2 is actually playable (the original is literally unplayable due to slowdown, Sonic Jam has 0 slowdown).
Sonic Jam is the DEFINITIVE package for any true connoisseur of the blue blur and I'm literally tired of pretending otherwise.
