While there are better Sonic collections out there, this I would say is right under Sonic Mega Collection. The Anniversary mode is top notch, since it's the 5 games back to back mixed with gorgeous cutscenes by Tyson Hesse. Big ups to Sega for using the Whitehead versions of these games, without a doubt the peak version of all of these titles.
The big negative is that they don't have the Michael Jackson tracks for Sonic 3. Which really sucks, but I get it. But what does help make up for it is putting Sonic Mania Adventures in the game, so they're still around if anything happens. A nice little thing. Another nice little thing is the elimination of the lives system, making it a lot easier to collect all the Chaos Emeralds/Time Stones/Super Emeralds.
If you're not for retro collecting, this is the best way to play these wonderful games. Going in succession is honestly a trip and I would definitely recommend it.
