From Wikipedia:
"Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Japanese: ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ3 Hepburn: Sonikku za Hejjihoggu Surī?) is a platform video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive as part of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was released on February 2, 1994. The game is a direct sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 2: in it, Dr. Robotnik's ship, the Death Egg, crash-lands on a floating island, and Sonic and Tails follow him there. There, the duo must once more retrieve the Chaos Emeralds to stop Death Egg from relaunching, while also making rounds with the Emeralds' guardian, Knuckles the Echidna.
Development of the game began shortly after the release of its predecessor in 1992; it was originally intended to be a top-down, isometric game, similar to what would eventually become Sonic 3D Blast. However, this concept was abandoned early into development as the team did not want to change the Sonic formula too radically for a sequel. The game is closely tied to its direct sequel Sonic & Knuckles, as the two titles were originally developed as a single game until time constraints and cartridge costs forced them to be split into two interlocking parts. Some re-releases have packaged the two together as Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
As with its two predecessors, the game was both a critical and commercial success upon release, with critics seeing it as an improvement over previous installments. The game sold 1.02 million copies on the Genesis; although that ranks it as one of the best-selling Genesis games of all time, its predecessors, which were both bundled with the Genesis in some regions, had sold a combined 21 million. Since its 1994 release, the game has been re-released through several compilations and download releases for various platforms, including Sonic Mega Collection for the GameCube and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360."
