how did they put this many levels on genesis
Just what everyone wanted - harder versions of Sonic 3's special stages
The blue balls jokes write themselves
(Part 5 of 5)
For every other Sega Genesis game though, there are no other special kinds of bonuses that you can get from placing them on top of S&K, but that doesn’t mean you get nothing at all. When you place any other Genesis game on there, you can get access to more levels of the special stages from Sonic 3, which is pretty cool if you are a big fan of these levels. Of course though, they don’t give you anything other than just the satisfaction of doing them, and there are a gargantuan amount of these that you can access, so unless you have absolutely nothing better to do, then there is no reason to check them all out.

COLLECT BLUE SPHERES!!
Dad and I played this for sport on Mega Collection way back when which is why I got all gold medals on Mania no problem.
Blue Spheres (or sometimes just Blue Sphere) is a full version of the special stages from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. You can access it by combining the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge with the Sonic 1 cartridge. You could also get access to single levels by combining Sonic & Knuckles with other catridges.
In Blue Spheres, Sonic is automatically running forward. The aim is to turn all the blue spheres into red spheres by running into them – but running into red spheres will end the game. If you create a rectangle of red spheres, then they and all the spheres inside it will turn into coins. If you manage to collect all of these you get to skip levels.
There are other kinds of speres, such as bumpers and bouncers to help or hinder your movement. As time progresses, the game will get quicker and quicker. It gets extremely manic.
There are an immense amount of levels – 134,217,728 (or 128,016,000 distinct layouts) so it’s pretty much a “play until you get bored” kind of game. It’s a lot of fun for a quick blast, though.
