Sonic 3 & Knuckles Battle Race is a competitive 2-player romhack of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. A creative use of technical limitations, the players are put into Sonic 3 & Knuckles' stages- however, the camera only follows the player who's the furthest ahead. When the camera scrolls past the other player, the former wins a point and the latter respawns. It's heavily inspired by the older Sonic 2 Battle Race, bringing polish and additions to the game formula, and putting it in Sonic 3's more complex levels. Note: this game is 2-player only, and it is unrelated to Sonic 3 & Knuckles' "competition" mode, which features exclusive levels.
