Sonic Compilation is a game compilation released in 1995 for the Sega Mega Drive containing three previously released Sonic titles: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. The 1997 released North American Genesis version was renamed to Sonic Classics 3 in 1.
Sonic Compilation was the first collection of multiple Sonic games on one cartridge. In some locations, it even was bundled with the console during its later years.
The three games appear in exactly the same form as their original release. The only new content is a game selection menu, controlled by using the left and right directions on the D-pad and new sprite renderings of the box art for each of the three games. The menu was changed in later released versions. Once a game is selected, players are not able to go back to the menu unless the console is reset or turned off and on again.
This game is one of two that, when "locked on" with Sonic and Knuckles, will enable players to play the entire Blue Sphere game, instead of just one level, the other being the standalone version of Sonic the Hedgehog.
The background music and chime heard when a game is selected on the game selection menu are from the Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine game.
