Historical Context
The Sonic Gems Collection was released in 2005 to give fans access to some of the lesser-known but beloved Sonic titles. Sonic CD, originally released in 1993 for the Sega CD, is often praised as one of the best Sonic games due to its innovative gameplay and beautiful music. Sonic the Fighters, an arcade game from 1996, brought Sonic and his friends to the fighting arena, while Sonic R from 1997 put a unique spin on the racing genre with its fully 3D environments.
Expert Reviews
IGN said about the Sonic Gems Collection: "For die-hard Sonic fans, this collection is a treasure trove of classic, hard-to-find titles." GameSpot added: "Sonic CD alone makes this collection worth it, but the addition of Sonic the Fighters and Sonic R makes it a must-have."

In Vectorman, when you start, you'll find yourself in a field with SEGA. Stand below the SEGA sign and shoot it 24 times, then jump into it 12 times. This will cause the letters s e g a to drop. Collect around 100 of them to skip to level 9, and gather about 110 or more to skip to level 10. (Sorry, can't remember the exact number of letters you need to collect...)

How can I play as Super Sonic in Sonic: The Fighters?

Unfortunately, you can't play as Super Sonic in every level. But it's still pretty cool to be able to do it in the last two levels of Sonic Gems Collection. When you have to fight Metal Sonic, try to make it through the first round without letting Metal Sonic win once. Once you reach the second round, press: A, B, X, and Y at the same time. And you'll transform into Super Sonic. It's very useful because he can keep on hitting without being defeated.
