The 1993-06-30 prototype appears to have been used for review as the game's working title (Sonic 3) is used in conjunction with both regional titles, and screenshots showing the prototype's features are used (early Special Stages and free movement).

Two-page review of the Master System version by Lucy Hickman and Gus Swan. The reviewers criticise the game as too short, having unsubstantial levels with few enemies. Overall the game receives a mediocre score of 71%.
