![]() That one was even so bold that it didn’t include the word Batman. This box reminds me of that iconic VHS cover for Tim Burton’s Batman movie, which was just the Batman emblem on a black background. That’s probably helpful information, but it doesn’t do much for the aesthetics of the cover. Sadly, the bottom part of the box is dedicated to explaining that feature in full detail. You even have those interlocking blue and black backgrounds to hint at the cartridge’s lock-on functionality. I like it! That emblem tells you everything you need to know. We also lost that dark border completely now, which is the biggest aesthetic crime hereĪfter that overly busy cover for Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles goes for something a good deal simpler. Also, him holding up the three fingers is goofy and uninspired. In fact, this render of Sonic looks so similar to the last one that it almost feels like they copy/pasted it and then changed his arms. Sonic himself also retains his poor posture from Sonic 2. Robotnik looks far less menacing than he does in the Sonic 2 art. Robotnik just kind of float around the background. ![]() He’s hiding in a bush as if his existence is some kind of a secret, even though he shows in the game’s intro. It also does a poor job of introducing Knuckles, the major new character in this game. The foliage and other details of the jungle overtake too much of the characters and action instead of helping to frame them. And then we have the box art for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which I like significantly less than its predecessors.
