Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Sega Genesis · 2026

The combined Sonic 3 & Knuckles experience on SegaGenesisRecomp, with a widescreen setting and a pre-boot launcher.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is one of the released titles on SegaGenesisRecomp, maintained by the core team. The current release is v0.3.0 (2026-06-17), which introduced a pre-boot launcher UI.

What works today

The game runs as statically recompiled 68000 code through the shared runner, with the framework's clean-room interpreter tier as a fallback for static-dispatch misses.

Enhancements

A widescreen setting via the framework's opt-in 16:9 injection. Framework-level 2-player split-screen exists for the Sonic family.
