what makes it stand out from all the other versions out there?

They ported the mobile versions over to console finally after like 9 years.

Every game is widescreen and 60fps. And each game lets you play as all 4 characters (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy) as well as their Super forms in Sonic 1, 2, and 3K. They also let you retry Special Stages on the spot.

As for individual additions for each game:

Sonic 1:
-Elemental Shield option
-Spike glitch toggle
-Spindash option
-Optional 7th Chaos emerald that lets you turn Super
-A bunch of beta easter eggs in the debug mode that were restored
-Speed and airspeed cap toggles

Sonic 2:
-Elemental Shield option as well as a Mystery Monitor option that hides and randomizes the monitors
-Hidden Palace Zone is restored and has a new boss
-Knuckles and Tails as a playable option
-Airspeed toggle
-3D Halfpipe stage which makes it way smoother and easier to control
-8th Halfpipe stage

Sonic CD:
-Both audio options for Japanese and American soundtracks
-Choose between the old CD spindash and the modern spindash
-Special stage is much smoother and the mode 7 is scaled better

Sonic 3 & Knuckles:
-New intro scenes for all playable characters
-Tails has a Super form as well as a Hyper form instead of just his Super form from the original
-Big Arm (the final boss from Sonic 3 Standalone) is restored in all routes of the game and the cutscene that follows the fight is modified to lead into Mushroom Hill Zone
-Knuckles fights against Egg Robo in Flying Battery like he's supposed to (instead of the game accidentally loading Eggman's sprite)

That's all I can think of. But basically it's the definitive versions of all those games and it makes them a blast to play >_>
