Sonic & Knuckles is like Sonic 3, if they actually made most of the levels fun to play through. Still long in the teeth when it comes to the length, at least they don't feature a myraid of traps and gimmicks that slow the game to a crawl (except Sandopolis). More bangin tunes, more bangin gameplay and more awful blue spheres, this ones really got it all. Shoutouts to Sky Sanctuary Zone for being one of the best levels in all of Sonic's genesis outings.
