Sonic Team packed the four main Genesis Sonic games onto one Saturn disc in 1997: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, including the lock-on combinations that let Knuckles explore Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 play as one long adventure. The games are emulated closely, with a few added options such as an easier mode that trims certain acts and a setting that brings later moves like the spin dash into the first game.
The real curiosity is Sonic World, a small free-roaming 3D hub where Sonic runs around an island and visits a museum of artwork, commercials, music and series history. It was short and loose, but it offered one of the earliest looks at a free-roaming 3D Sonic, and it is often viewed as a rough test for the ideas that became Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast.
Tips for Sonic Jam
Pick the lock-on combination in the menu to play Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles together with save support.
Try the easy mode if the later zones feel long; it shortens some stages for newer players.
Spend a few minutes in Sonic World browsing the museum; its art and video archive is a big part of the disc's value.
