I've seen some videos about it, but never played it myself. It seems like a fun game, though!

Same

I have Sonic Mega collection plus and unlocked it today. I already played it as little kid in another game collection and it is pretty fun. Each planet is unique and there is lot's to see. Only the controls can be annoying sometimes, grabing in the right direction at the right time. But it is fun though.

Could never get passed the bird boss

You man the one in the Music world? This was the one I was stuck on as well.

I own Ristar, sadly my megadrive doesn't work anymore so it's gathering dust with it's cartridge bretheren. Good game though.
