So, Sonic 3 Delta—it's basically Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but with all the cut content and scrapped ideas finally put back in. You know how the original Sonic 3 felt a little rushed? This fan-made version fixes that, adding new levels, tweaked physics, and even some beta music tracks that never made the final game.

First thing you’ll notice is the smoother controls—Sonic doesn’t feel as floaty anymore, and the spindash actually works like it should. The new Hidden Palace Zone is finally playable, and there’s even a proper boss fight there. Plus, the elemental shields from Sonic Mania? Yeah, they snuck those in too.

If you’ve played the original a million times, this is the best way to experience it again. It’s still classic Sonic, just with a little extra polish and a lot more surprises.
