Cool novelty, not much else.
It being a sort of "Sonic 2 Remix" is a very neat concept although it doesn't really do too much in this area, would've loved to see them be more explorative. NGPC music conversions are always great to hear so I love what it does to the 3&K OST. Game controls well, level design is pretty good till you hit Sky Chase/Aerobase where it feels like the team really just gave up, thankfully Gigantic Angel brings it back in line with the rest of the game. Boss fights are exceedingly average except the Gigantic Angel boss which is actually abysmal. The special stages being the halfpipe really doesn't work well with everything else going on, doesn't help that your reward is extremely boring due to it just being their Doomsday Zone with no way to go Super in the actual levels. Overall, very cool novelty and definitely one of my preferred handheld Sonic games but not much outside of that.
