− | ==Version differences== |
||
− | The PlayStation 2 version suffered from a few minor emulation issues. Sound effects in the first ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' would sometimes be delayed, the music volume was incorrect in some games, and the screen resolution in both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions differed from the Mega Drive originals (this was a normal feature, however). These emulation issues were caused by hardware limitations for the PS2. The ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD|Sonic CD]]'' introduction and ending, as well as the preview videos for ''[[Sonic Adventure 2|Sonic Adventure 2: Battle]]'' and ''[[Sonic Advance 2]]'' from the GameCube version, were replaced with ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' movies (all of which appear in ''Sonic Heroes''). The Xbox version does not have the Korean Sonic Heroes boxart. The PC also suffered from issues with analog gamepad controllers and players with such controllers have to resort to using third-party applications such as Joy2Key in order to use their preferred control method. |

Trivia
- This was the first Sega game to reunite the classic "SE-GA" chant since the early-late 90s' (Sonic 3D Blast has the "SEGA!!" scream), likely included due to the retro nature of the compilation.
- Sonic the Hedgehog CD was originally going to be on the compilation, but was scrapped due to emulation problems. This game was later released on Sonic Gems Collection, where the PC version game code was ported (and high-quality versions of the anime clips replaced the older ones). Sega gave the excuse that there wasn't enough space for the game.
- However, within the game disc, there were several video files used presumably for testing. The videos themselves are not related to Sonic whatsoever.
- In the extras, there is artwork of Cream the Rabbit from the then-upcoming Sonic Advance 2. At the time, she was a new character to the series. There is also a trailer for the game. In Japan, this game was released at the same time as Sonic Advance 2.
- The GameCube version has the US and Japanese version of the original Sonic game, but if you set the framerate to 50fps, this will unlock the European version with slower music.
- When Sonic 3 & Knuckles gets unlocked in the GameCube version, it displays the now you can play Sonic 3 & Knuckles message part as in the "Data Select (Game Save) Screen" section in the instruction manual for Sonic & Knuckles.
- Sonic Mega Collection was the first ever Sonic game with a PEGI 12+ rating and the PEGI 12+ rating was followed by Shadow the Hedgehog .
- A remix of the title screen music can be heard, during the Network Mode in Sonic Generations.
- The Guinness World Records awarded Sonic Mega Collection for being the "Best Selling Retro Game Compilation".
- The "Menu" theme returns in SEGA Heroes, also as the main menu theme.
Reception
Reception for Sonic Mega Collection was generally positive.[1] The game sold very well across all platforms, attaining best-seller status in the systems it was released in: Player's Choice (Nintendo GameCube), Greatest Hits (PlayStation 2), and Platinum Hits (Xbox). In particular, the PlayStation 2 version and GameCube version both sold over two million copies.[2]
