Product Information
"Sonic Mega Collection" for the Nintendo GameCube is a collection of seven classic "Sonic the Hedgehog" plus bonus games. Each game in "Sonic Mega Collection" is taken from the "Sonic the Hedgehog" Sega Genesis library. The games in this collection are perfect emulations of how they initially appeared on the Genesis. These "Sonic" games also received a facelift in the form of enhanced graphics that make the colors pop on your high-definition television. This emulator was developed by the Sonic Team and even allows you to save your game at any point. The original release date was in November 2002.Sonic the Hedgehog is the first game Sega released for the Genesis that introduces the blue creature to the world, along with his nemesis, the evil Dr. Robotnik. Sonic races through over 10 levels with a boss fight at the end of every act. This GameCube game lays the foundation for every "Sonic the Hedgehog" game that follows it.Sonic 2 is the second game in the set and introduces a new character to the franchise: Tails. A second player can control Tails or he can just follow behind Sonic in single-player mode. The evil doctor is back in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and it is up to the duo to stop him. This game introduces new moves for the characters, including Sonic's spin dash.The third title in the collection adds new gameplay elements. Players can equip shields that protect them in combat. The Water Shield will let you breathe underwater indefinitely while the Flame Shield protects you from a fire. This title is also the first in the series to include Knuckles, the Echidna. Sonic & Knuckles, the fourth game, lets gamers play as Knuckles for the first time. Knuckles features different abilities than the main character. He can't run at super speeds, but he can glide and climb walls. While the title features the same levels for both characters, they take different routes through the stages. This feature lends the title some extra replay potential.The fifth game, Sonic 3D Blast, moves away from the 2-D elements of past games and into the world of 3-D. The quest is to rescue the Flickies from the clutches of the evil doctor. This game has an isometric viewpoint, letting you see more of the action at one time. Sonic Spinball also goes in a different direction, inserting the titular character into a pinball machine. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a puzzle game. In Mean Bean Machine, players will need to match up beans of similar colors. In addition to a single-player mode, Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine lets you go head-to-head with your friends.By unlocking two additional Sega games, you'll encounter two characters named Ristar and Flicky. This compilation also lets you play some spin-off games, such as Sonic 3 and Knuckles and Blue Sphere. "Sonic Mega Collection" for the GameCube also features an array of bonuses. Players can view artwork taken from the comic and promotional materials as well as high-resolution scans of each manual for the individual games. Whether alone or with a friend, "Sonic Mega Collection" will provide a fantastic gaming experience.Product Identifiers

It's the best Sonic collection you can get. Well, for the Gamecube at least.
This collection has a great presentation, all the Mega Drive Sonic games and a few extras. And for how much this collection goes for nowadays, picking it up is really a no brainer. With that said, it's not perfect. It doesn't support save states, so you can't save at all except for in Sonic 3, so you have to beat all the games in one sitting. With how busy and impatient people are nowadays, this can easily be a deal breaker. Also, it doesn't support progressive scan even if you have component cables, so 480i is the best you're gonna get. With that said, the games still look surprisingly sharp if you use component. There are also a few emulation issues, but they're quite minor. So overall this is a solid collection, but to be honest, there are better ways to play these games nowadays. There are better collections out there, such as Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and these games are available on almost all platforms, including Steam, Android and also iOS. There's even a Plus version of this collection available on PC, PS2 and Xbox, which has some Game Gear games, some additional extras and, more importantly, save state support. But if you're planning on sticking with the GameCube, you can get the Sonic Game Gear games in Sonic Adventure DX as you play through it. Still, this collection has a great presentation, and if you can get past the fact that you won't be able to save your progress, it can still be a great addition to your GameCube library.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Unparalelled Bargain
Nowhere else will you find such a great steal! Let me count the ways; you get 7 high quality games in one disc, plus bonus material, and endless hours of fun for such a low price. It is an adventure where you are nearly free from the laws of physics being Sonic the hedgehog who can move at high velocity speeds. Even more special, is that it is a journey that you can embark upon with a friend or sibling that can have your back in nearly every game, or there is also the "versus" modes where you can fight each other without actual real life conflict. What I like about the game is the feel: it is like you are Sonic, for instance, you can feel when you drop, and you can feel the effort and drag when Tails flies. It is incredibly challenging at every stage. The colors are very vivid and brilliant. You can choose to go fast or slow on most of the trails. It is even good for older players as well, especially the "Dr. Robotnics Mean Green Bean Machine" game! It gives a sense of accomplishment, and a wonderful way to pass the time. It is much more asthetically appealing than Tetris. The whole Sonic games experience is just full of memories waiting to be made! Enjoy !!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sonic Mega Collection
A good way to play the first 3 games and then some. Tho I'd say the Sega Saturn Sonic Jam looks more compelling. I love this collection tho. I wish it had Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters and Sonic CD, but oh well that's a different collection.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
