Gameplay
In Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble , the player takes control of the blue hedgehog Sonic or Tails in a side-scrolling 2D platformer. In addition to the control pad for movement, only one action button is required to jump. In jumping or rolling form, called Spin Attack, Sonic and Tails can defeat opponents or open item boxes in the form of monitors. If you let Sonic or Tails duck down with the directional pad and then press and release the jump button, the character with the Spin Dash can quickly dash forward from a standing position with the Spin Attack. If you hold up the directional pad while standing and press the jump button , Sonic executes the new Strike Dash technique or lets Tails fly. New to this game is the Flying Spin Attack , which Tails can use to attack while in the air. When touched, the golden rings can be collected; If the character is damaged, it is unusual for it not to lose all, but a maximum of ten rings. If the character takes damage without having rings or falls into a deadly abyss, he loses an extra life, of which you have three at the start of the game. If you collect 100 rings, you get another extra life. In the monitors there can be an extra life, ten rings, temporary increased speed, temporary invulnerability, rocket shoes, a snowboard, propeller shoes, the pogo spring, a checkpoint or a chaos emerald. In this game, the goal can also contain 10 rings, an extra life or a continue. Most opponents can be defeated with the Spin Attack, which earns the player points and frees the trapped animals.
The game consists of six zones ( Great Turquoise Zone , Sunset Park Zone , Meta Junglira Zone , Robotnik Winter Zone , Tidal Plant Zone and Atomic Destroyer Zone ) with three acts each, which can be defined as levels . Each zone has its own theme, appearance and variety of opponents. At the end of the third act there is also a fight against one of Dr. Robotniks robots or Dr. Robotnik himself, and Knuckles can also appear to make the path difficult for the player. If the character with at least 50 rings destroys a Chaos Emerald Monitor, it will go to one of the five Special Stages, where one of the six Chaos Emeralds in the game can be found, but every time Fang tries to help the player reach the To prevent Chaos Emerald. The sixth Chaos Emerald is obtained for defeating Dr. Robotnik at the end of the last zone. For collecting all six Chaos Emeralds you also get the good ending of the game.
development

reception
| ||||||||||||
Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble received mixed to good ratings. In some cases, the trade press missed a certain originality and identity due to the similarity to Sonic the Hedgehog Chaos , and among other things, the possibly best graphics of a Sonic game on the Game Gear are praised, but also the frame rate in certain situations where too many arithmetic operations are performed simultaneously have to be carried out to their limits. The Sega Magazine guessed the small number of opponents in the game could be due to the frame rate problems. In addition, the game was often described as too easy.
