3 Aug 2017 19:43		this is my favorite "plateformer"
7 Sep 2017 4:11		& Knuckles
7 Sep 2017 14:02		& Knuckles
15 Oct 2017 14:41		Do The M.J. seems to be the most reported achievement. I'll be sure to look into it pretty soon to be sure.
15 Oct 2017 14:43		Score-based leaderboards are nice, but there's really no true way to get a lot of points in the game without grabbing loads of rings or finishing the act with 9:59 left, and any possible score challenge is ruined by Launch Base Zone bird spawners.
27 Oct 2017 15:32		"Perfect all bonus stage" missing....
27 Nov 2017 3:45		the new nemesis knuckles is a chuckle in the knuckle
13 Apr 2019 5:19		& Knuckles
28 Mar 2020 11:25		I really enjoyed this set. It was just the right amount of challenge without being outright impossible like some sets can be.
29 Apr 2020 16:28		Does the ROM that you get when buying S3&K on Steam not count? I bought it on Steam (it's a part of the Mega Drive Classics) and they give you a ROM you can use in any emulator. I used it in RetroArch with achievements on and I wasn't getting any.
27 May 2020 17:59		Mastered back in my quest days. "Do the M.J." achievement was a challenging one. As someone already said, the set lacks of "Perfect Bonus" on all Special Stages built in one achievement or two separately: one for Sonic 3 and other for Sonic & Knuckles
27 May 2020 18:05		One curiosity of this lock-on feature is that Launch Base Zone is easier than it was presented in Sonic 3 and has fewer death traps in comparison.
14 Jun 2020 5:32		& Knuckels
1 Jul 2020 19:55		Mastered & knuckles
21 Jul 2020 23:56		Perfect game, amazing set. Of course this gets a mastery.
4 Sep 2020 20:33		Mastered! Really great set for my favorite Sonic game :) I enjoyed all the exploration achievements!
18 Dec 2020 19:24		Parts 1 & 2 of a terrific third part.
18 Jan 2021 0:26		Mastered! & Knuckles.
24 Jan 2021 7:04		The best of the best
27 Jan 2021 14:19		Mastered! Thanks for the awesome set for this Masterpiece! Best Game Ever! o/
