No it's not! S3&K is one game seperated into two games. Go to the Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, or Sonic 3 & Knuckles page; all of them will say that Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the true Sonic 3 but was seperated due to time constraints and cartridge prices. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles was originally one game but was split in two.
