So from what I can tell this is about Eggman, Knuckles, and Nack the Weasel teaming up (the titular triple trouble) to fight us. Yay, Mobian antagonists! Actually, upon further review, Nack is supposed to be pursuing his own agenda, but whatever. I still wouldn’t mind him and Knux beating me up. Uh, I mean, nothing.
Also Knuckles, what the heck??? How did you let Eggman trick you again??? Dummy.
Anyway, the gameplay in this one is pretty simple. You play as either me or Sonic. If you play as me you can fly and some powerups are different. But there’s no real difference in terms of which zones you play through, which bosses you face, or anything major like that. So honestly kinda no reason to play through twice.
If you want to 100% the game (it doesn’t change much) you have to collect the Chaos Emeralds, and you do this by playing through some special stages that have Nack at the end as a boss. Honestly? It’s a refreshing change of pace! I like the idea of a boss fight for the Emeralds. So that’s one cool thing this game does.
But, yeah. For the most part, it’s pretty mediocre? The soundtrack has some truly awful tracks and is mostly uninspiring, aside from Sunset Act 3 which is a real banger. I’m not even gonna run down the zones, though I do wanna ask, why are they so stuck on the “Turquoise Hill” thing but nothing in the zone is actually turquoise??? Don’t get that one.
Still, I do enjoy the whole thing where the game has three antagonists (and yes you get to fight, and later rescue, Knuckles), especially with two of them being Mobians. And there’s a badass fight with Metal Sonic before you get to the final boss, which honestly kinda makes the whole thing worthwhile even though it’s pretty forgettable otherwise.
