Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Plus
By BigTaste
A hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 that ports over all Sonic & Knuckles features without the use of lock-on, as well as making numerous tweaks, changes, bug fixes, and new features.
Changes from standalone Sonic 3:
- Knuckles is now playable in the main game.
- Mushroom Hill, Flying Battery, Sandopolis, Lava Reef, Hidden Palace, Death Egg, and Doomsday are all fully playable. The Super Emeralds, Hyper Sonic/Knuckles, and Super Tails are also included.
- Fixed mapping error where some of Super Sonic's mappings were misaligned, specifically in the transformation and balancing animations.
- Restored missing Super Sonic palette cycle.
- Carnival Night Act 2, Ice Cap Act 2, Launch Base Act 2, Mushroom Hill Act 1, and Lava Reef Act 2 use music from the 1103 prototype.
- Tweaked sprites of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to make them more consistent. Knuckles also has a more stern look on his face.
- Fixed "Dr. Robotnik's diabolical traps" in Ice Cap Zone.
Changes from Sonic 3 & Knuckles:
- You can no longer crash the game to boot into Sonic & Knuckles alone.
- Lava Reef Act 2's palette now cycles correctly.
- Most bugs from both Sonic 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles are patched out, but some of them may still remain.
- Original game by SEGA
- Flamedriver by Flamewing
- Prototype music ported to ASM by Clownacy

Its cool but would be way better if it had music toggles for the proto music and s&k music
This is good... as a base disassembly for Sonic 3 hacks but as it stands it's not much of anything.
Having dealt with the nightmare known as the Sonic 3 & Knuckles disassembly, this would be a welcome resource for most folk looking into modifying the game.
I'm sorry, but we're not here. the base would be there but the complete sonic 3 version already exists where you can modify with your settings on the site itself. it would be much better to change everything for example; have an option where you can choose to:1) play either as sonic 3 proto but complete like chain spike, or version released with bugs fixed2)with sonic, tails and knux versions in two proto or release or improved versions;3) with Proto or released musics.if you do so it will be a blast.
Customiser - Sonic 3 Complete (s3complete.org) big taste this is the site where your idea was but already expanded as I had more or less described to you. and it's from 2013
Having both prototype and MJ music mixed in with Act 1 and Act 2 music seems to clash and is an odd choice in my opinion. I think you should offer a music selection or choose either the proto music or MJ music for both acts.
