THANK YOU for listening to our podcast! If you have any questions/comments, please feel free to send them on social media and we'll mention them in the next podcast! (of course only if they're appropriate). In Japan, Sonic the Screen Saver was sold separately.We recently found out that the Netflix Sonic show, Sonic Prime, (which we've waited for months to get news on) is going to indeed be on Netflix this Winter 2022! The THZ team talks all about this show, what to expect, how it'll be released, potential characters/levels in the game, etc.! This disc allowed users to customize Windows with Sonic themes, wallpapers, icons, and play music from Sonic 1, 2, 3, S&K and the Japanese version of Sonic CD. In the US and in Europe, "Sonic the Screen Saver" was included in the compilation. Aside from this musical difference, the game plays virtually identically to its original incarnations. Another potential explanation is that the original tracks may have been composed by Michael Jackson, and were removed due to legal reasons that arose since their original release. One possible explanation for this is that the tracks featured sampled sound effects not supported by the MIDI standard, and some sound cards during this time were not capable of playing these alongside the standard MIDI instruments.

Furthermore, some of Sonic 3's music tracks, including those of Carnival Night Zone, Ice Cap Zone, Launch Base Zone, Knuckles' theme, the Competition menu, and the credits music, were replaced with original compositions. Most of the original music is emulated, with the user able to choose between MIDI and FM formats. Games included are Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Blue Sphere (listed as "Special Stage Mode").

Sonic & Knuckles Collection is a compilation for Microsoft Windows based PCs, released in 1997.
