Gameplay[]
New features and changes[]
- Amy Rose has been added as a playable character in all four available titles. She can also transform into "Super Amy" upon obtaining all seven Chaos Emeralds in Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and into "Hyper Amy" after gathering the seven Super Emeralds in the latter. In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Amy also takes the same route as Tails, and thus the game instantly ends after defeating the Giant Eggman Robo regardless of the Chaos/Super Emeralds.
- The "All Clear" save file icon for completed saves with all Super Emeralds now includes Amy with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. She's also included in the Slot Machine Bonus Stage, the "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" ending logo and the rotation animation of the Goal Plate.
- The NPC Amy that appears in Sonic's playthrough of Sonic CD isn't updated to accommodate the playable Amy's design, however.
- Knuckles is also now a playable character in Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
- New routes exclusive to Knuckles appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog CD stages.
- All twelve Sonic Sega Game Gear titles have been added. Some titles have 2P versions intended for multiplayer play, and each title can have one save state.
- Features exclusive to the Digital Deluxe version of Sonic Origins, such as extreme challenges, Mirror Mode, and additional backgrounds are included with Sonic Origins Plus.
- Amy and Knuckles can now be seen in the islands of the main menu.
- Updated the Sonic Team logo to use the same animation from Sonic Frontiers.
- The Drop Dash has been fixed in Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to now be able to change directions while in midair.
- Selecting Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 changes the stage title cards back to green, much like in the Knuckles in Sonic 2 lock-on game.
- The web manual is available offline in the title screen.
- Added a Surprise illustration that can be completed by fulfilling certain quests, usually those related to the new features included in the Plus release. Completing the image rewards 100 Coins and instructions to unlock the Level Select in each game.
Trivia[]
- This is the first compilation to feature all twelve Sonic games released for the Sega Game Gear since Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut in 2003.
- This is the first 2D Sonic game since Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice (2016) to have an incarnation of Amy as a playable character. It is also the first main series game since Sonic Advance 3 (2004) with this feature.
- Curiously, the manual for the compilation refers to the Blue Spheres as "Blue Balls", the original name applied to them during development of Sonic the Hedgehog 3.[1]
