@Yawackhary I'm pretty sure the actual reason is because of Sonic 3 using a specific "save chip" that wouldn't work with the other games without modifications to one of the games.

@SIG7Pro Not true at all...

Sonic 3 was February 1994 while this collection was around August 1995 (it came out in PAL regions before the US, the US got it as late as 1997 when the Genesis died). It was a Sega Europe thing as it shares the same menus as the various Mega Games 6, the collection with Altered Beast, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Flicky and Gunstar Heroes (yep!).

Besides it would have cost Sega too much to have a cartridge that had Sonic 1, 2, 3&K and I don't think 6MB cartridges existed at the time for it to be possible (Super Street Fighter 2 was 5MB, considered the largest until homebrew and the Mortal Kombat Trilogy hack came along).

Sonic 3 wasn't released when this collection was made.

Strangely enough, Robotnik's meen been machin is not an classic. yet, the reason may be because Sonic 3 wouldn't fit into the 4MB Cartridfe- I MEAN CARTRIDGE
also, i'd like to say:

i'd love to see SEGA bring back the Saturn or make an Dreamcast 2 for some new gen and go for something like the Wii U E SHOP loading screen as an Bios or Menu for when there is nothing loaded.
still, if that happened, the Dreamcast 2 wouldn't happen because they don't met the conditions they would need to have it blow up in the market (Suuuch as distribution everywhere, just like they did with TecToy when they got Chaotix over here in Brazil.) seems like since the last (Re)release of the Genessis, they broke any relation with TecToy, because in that (Re)Release of the Genessis, there WAS stuff about it here... oh wait i think i remember! it was in the first half of the year,

so SEGA and TecToy might still have relations...just possibly.
well, back to surfin' in the Spriters Resource for some more pixel googness.
