Also, the main mechanic of the character, instead of becoming a super-fast ball, would be to use the ears to throw items at enemies. It would be a very different game for sure.

When Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was launched in 1994, the mascot of SEGA it was already a phenomenon. But what a lot of people don't know is that the game had the hand of another phenomenon of the time: Michael Jackson. The fact was never proven, mainly because the credits don't have the name of the King of Pop - since the game came out at the height of the star's scandals, but the fact is that several developers and composers involved in the games have been saying that the game's scores had Jackson's finger.

This is one of the probable reasons for every re-release of the game not to have the original track found on the Mega Drive cartridges, being very different songs.
