 | masterofeggery 23 Apr 2021 01:43 the achievements have such uninspired names, ice cap is two words, the achievements for getting the chaos emeralds use sonic 2 screenshots, and they're just called the super emeralds not super chaos emeralds. so many problems | ||
 | Apostila 26 May 2021 01:46 Please make Leaderboards & Knuckles | ||
 | kreuzkuemmelkonrad 6 Jun 2021 02:51 We look at this game but we love it | ||
 | DerEric 16 Sep 2021 17:18 I just wish some of these archievements would allow the level select mode. | ||
 | Emoon 1 Nov 2021 12:29 So we got a challenge cheevo which requires perfect'ing a special stage (going backwards), but NO usual cheevos for individually perfect'ing each of the 14 ones? :( Considering a player needs to do those stages at least 42 times to get all True ending cheevos, having more rewards for doing them would be very much welcome. | ||
 | williamgeesdorf 5 Dec 2021 15:30 Mastered (platinado)! Warning: the "Do the M.J." cheevo didn't trigger for me in the Genesis Plus core. Changed to PicoDrive, it triggered just fine. | ||

 | KawaFernandes 9 Jul 2022 18:16 Mastered 3 & Knuckles! It was a REALLY NICE set... though I took 21 hours to master... | ||
 | SonicRanticoot 3 Aug 2022 02:37 After starting this set many months ago, finally a master. Incredible game and a pretty good set, a lot of the non-progression ones I found actually pretty fun | ||
 | RetroSprites 3 Aug 2022 23:40 Mastered, good achievements, the game is very good, although sometimes it has one or another annoying bug, it doesn't prevent you from enjoying it. | ||
