input =Game controller "Sonic Compilation" is a video game compilation released in 1995 for the
Sega Mega Drive containing three previously released "Sonic" titles: "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Sonic the Hedgehog 2", and "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine ". In 1997, the Genesis version was released inNorth America under the name "Sonic Classics 3 in 1"."Sonic Compilation" was the first collection of multiple "Sonic" games on one cartridge. In some locations, it was
bundle d with the Mega Drive console during its later years.The three games appear in exactly the same form as in their original release. The only new content is a game selection menu, controlled by using the left and right directions on the D-pad and new sprite renderings of the box art for each of the three games. The menu was changed in later released versions. Once a game is selected, players are not able to go back to the menu unless the console is reset or turned off and on again.
This game is one of two that, when "locked on" with "
Sonic & Knuckles ", will enable players to play the entire "Blue Sphere" game, instead of just one level. The other game that enables this is the standalone version of "Sonic the Hedgehog".The background music and chime heard when a game is selected on the game selection menu are from the "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" game.
