This will always be my fave Sonic game. Why? Three words: Super Chaos Emeralds. It's the only game to feature them and Hyper Sonic, and playing as him is well worth the strife of collecting the elusive gems.
Funny thing, I didn't have a PC until I was 13 (I'm poor, okay?) so I used to play the Sonic 3 demo in computer halls (like internet cafés without the internet). I played it so much that I had Angel Island practically memorized.
Years later, I got the full game (imagine how excited I was to find out the first level wasn't the entire game) and played over and over, especially after getting Hyper Sonic.
I still remember how fun it was to tear through enemies and rescue those cute fluffies. I remember the great soundtrack (which I still listen to from time to time) and of course the last battle with Robotnik in the Death Egg and the Doomsday Zone.
Sonic Mania did a fantastic job capturing the OG Sonic feel, but to me this game is still the best.
