(sonic's ultimate genesis collection 24/40)
when s3&k exists there are no real reasons to do this and sonic & knuckles standalone, but for whatever reason that's the way it is in the compilation /shrug
it's the very damn solid first half of a very damn solid full game, considered by some the stronger half and by some the weaker. i don't know personally, i love the shit out of hydrocity and launch base but marble garden and carnival night are not very interesting i find (plus, carnival night act 2 is a little questionable on very early playthroughs, that shit was completely baffling when i was little. not so much now, but still)
