Despite being considerably better in terms of gameplay than the original Sonic The Hethehog (it was so good it even skipped a number in the title), this game failed to correct the typo that crept into the title of the original. It was also made for 21-bit systems, which was an onorthodox move by developer Maan Studio, as there were and are no 21-bit systems on the market. It did feature a really badass boss called “De Kraakgas” (roughly translated as “The Crackfume”) though.

However, the final nail in the coffin for this title was that Maan Studio fired their lead artist Julian, resulting in more Sonic abominations than the human mind is really capable of dealing with:

No fourth edition was made. As a consequence of this game, drawing very very bad versions of Sonic is now a federal offense in most parts of the world.
