Sonic Retrospective Part VIII - Sonic Triple Trouble

Sonic Triple Trouble (Japanese title: Sonic & Tails 2) is a direct sequel to Sonic Chaos. However, unlike Sonic Chaos, Triple Trouble is much more reminescent of a Genesis title and contains much longer stages. It also adds a lot more vehicular sections.

Unlike the other Game Gear games, Sonic Triple Trouble has no Master System version. Despite this, the game feels more like a console Sonic game than the others on the Game Gear. Like its prequel, you Sonic has his Super Peel-Out and this is the second to last game it appears in. Tails can fly, but it again uses the awkward hold up and press jump while standing system instead of the much simpler jump mashing the main series utilizes.
