Sonic Triple Trouble SMS is a remarkable fan-made port that brings the 1994 Game Gear exclusive Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble to the Sega Master System. By adapting the game to run on the Master System’s hardware, this ROM hack dramatically improves the experience by expanding the screen resolution. Instead of the zoomed-in perspective of the handheld original, players enjoy a much wider field of view that makes platforming and spotting enemies far more forgiving, alongside adjusted color palettes that pop on a larger screen.
How to Play
Your objective is to guide either Sonic or Tails through six zones to recover the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Robotnik, Knuckles the Echidna, or the bounty hunter Nack the Weasel can get their hands on them. Use the Left and Right arrow keys to move, Down to duck or roll, and the Z or X keys to jump. Sonic can perform his unique Strike Dash by holding Up and pressing the jump button, while Tails can fly for a limited time by tapping jump repeatedly in mid-air.
Tips
In this game, taking damage only costs you 30 rings (or 50 on spikes) rather than your entire collection, giving you a bit more of a buffer. To access the Special Stages and collect the Chaos Emeralds, you must find a Chaos Emerald monitor hidden within the zones while holding at least 50 rings.
