Sonic 3 New Age (SHC23)

Sonic 3 New Age is a ROM hack created by saan1ty and team. It is a hack of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and this particular build was featured in the Sonic Hacking Contest 2023.

Our adventure takes place after the events of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. After the defeat of Robotnik and the fall of the Death Egg, you're on good terms with Knuckles, but don't expect him to let you in to his domain with open arms. He still doesn't trust you, and will try to again keep you away from his Master Emerald. Robotnik has also returned, and he's planning his vengeance! The Death Egg may be gone, but one should not underestimate the brilliance of Robotnik's dark gadget-making mind.
