Although Sonic 3 & Sonic and Knuckles were released separately the games are usually considered one for the connecting plot and having the exact same gameplay in both.
Like the first two games, Sonic 3 & Knuckles is a game noted for its great mix of speed and precision platforming.
There is a new character introduced: Knuckles who becomes one of Sonic's first real rivals in the series and with the Sonic & Knuckles add-on becomes playable.

Points Received/List Appearances: 47; 4
Developer: Nintendo EAD
System(s): SNES, Game Boy Advance, Virtual Console
Genre(s): 2D platformer
Previous Rank: 97th (List 8)
A prequel of sorts to the whole Mario series in general. A game starring Yoshis where they and Baby Mario have to rescue Baby Luigi.
Although also a 2D platformer, Yoshi's Island plays a bit differently from other 2D Mario games. The main difference is that you can swallow enemies and make eggs to use as your primary form of attack along with jumping.
