It features the debut of Fang the Sniper (or Nack the Weasel, every bit he was initially known in the English version).

Dr. Robotnik) was testing his latest ultimate weapon when suddenly an blow scattered them once more. Eggman was able to find one of them, but of course, Sonic and Tails learned about what happened, and at present they're off to detect the other five earlier Eggman can. Expecting this would happen, Eggman deceives Knuckles the Echidna into assertive that Sonic and Tails are trying to steal the Emeralds. Thus, Knuckles becomes a nuisance that tries to inhibit the duo'south progress. As all of this is happening, Fang the Sniper, a treasure-hunting "weasel" (or half jerboa, half wolf), has successfully located the other 5 during the commotion and plans to nab them to sell to the highest bidder. Are you upwards to the claiming of disappointment this Triple Trouble?

In improver to the Pogo Spring and Rocket Shoes from Sonic Chaos, Triple Trouble also gives both playable characters (Sonic and Tails) their own special modes of travel. In Robotnik Wintertime Zone, Sonic can shred on a snowboard (far more flexible than in IceCap Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3), and in Tidal Plant Zone, he can equip himself with scuba jets, which really let the blue hedgehog, well known for his super drowning skills, to swim, though for a express time. Meanwhile, Tails – in Tidal Plant Zone – tin pilot the Bounding main Fox submarine, which comes equipped with a torpedo launcher and easy up-and-downward movement while underwater. Tails would use the Sea Play a trick on once again in Tails Adventure.

Like the rest of the Sonic games at the time, the American and European boxarts base Robotnik'southward design on the cartoons, specifically a slightly modified version of his Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog incarnation.
