Okay, so Sonic 3 Cz (v2.0) is basically the classic Sonic 3 experience, but with a few tweaks—mostly bug fixes and some polish. If you've played the original, you'll recognize Angel Island Zone right away, but the controls feel a little tighter here. The music still slaps, obviously.

First thing you notice? The sprites are crisp, and the game runs smooth—no weird slowdowns when things get chaotic. The special stages are just as frustratingly fun as ever, though I still can’t decide if I love or hate the barrel maze in Carnival Night Zone.

If you’re into romhacks or just want a slightly refined version of Sonic 3, this one’s solid. Still has that classic speed-and-platforming mix that makes you want to replay levels just to shave seconds off your time.
