Two-page review of the game by Steve Merrett and Paul Bufton. The writers praise the game's graphics, and liken it to a port of the Mega Drive's Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but complain about the blandness of gameplay and lack of innovation.

Part of GG Hotline. Confirms the inclusion of Knuckles and suggests the inclusion of a snowboard and rocket shoes.

The game is reported as 100% complete. Talks about the new Strike Dash move, 3D stages, and using screenshots shows the spring item and Tails being able to fly. It also teases the appearance of Knuckles and a mysterious treasure hunter.

The game description reads "New Characters Introduced? The well-known Sonic 3 character Knuckles is here, alongside the debut of a mysterious new character in this 2nd entry in the popular series. Full of new moves and new items."

The game is remarked to have made some improvements on previous Game Gear Sonic titles, but still not great and very inappropriate for the console, with the movement being far too fast for the small screen. Game beginner girl 青山ようこ recommends playing at a slower pace and making use of the new items. Foreign game user OLIX光治 thinks it does the best it can to take advantage of GG-exclusive gimmicks. The game is easy, but something feels lacking. Game mania group ハイローラーズ's ロ mentions some interesting ideas it has, and that the bosses are improved, but is bothered by the acceleration physics. General game user ジャムおじさん says there are issues with balancing and maps devoid of enemies, but the game is fine overall.

The game is reported as 100% complete. Frames the inclusion of new characters as a way to compete with the Mega Drive and Mega CD Sonic series. Screenshots show the player select screen, Tails being cute and Sonic fighting a boss.
