"Sonic Jam" is a compilation which contains the four main "Sonic the Hedgehog" games released on the Sega Genesis: "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Sonic the Hedgehog 2", "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", and "Sonic & Knuckles".
other
Unlike future "Sonic" collections, "Sonic Jam" does not use a Genesis emulator; the games are proper ports, and all are nearly identical to the original Sega Genesis releases, with the exception of minor bug fixes.
other
"Sonic Jam" emulates "Sonic & Knuckles" "lock-on technology"—a special feature that allows the player to merge elements of "Sonic & Knuckles" into previous games, resulting in changes to the level design as well as the choice to play as Tails in "Sonic and Knuckles" and Knuckles the Echidna in "Sonic the Hedgehog 2".
other
The games can be played with three difficulty modes: Normal, Easy, and Original.
other
Original mode is unchanged from the Genesis games, Normal mode slightly alters the stage layouts to create a unique (often less difficult) experience, and Easy mode adds platforms and removes many obstacles and some levels.
other
New features include the ability to spin dash (introduced in "Sonic 2") in the first "Sonic the Hedgehog," play Special Stages separately, a "Time Attack" mode, and a "Time Out" option to disable the in-game time limits.
other
"Sonic Jam" also includes a special 3D environment, "Sonic World", whereby the player can move around freely as Sonic and interact with various objects.
other
"Sonic World" acts as an interactive museum in which the player can access an array of information of "Sonic the Hedgehog"-related content, such as viewing concept artwork, manuals, character portfolios, music, and original Japanese advertisements.
other
To access these features, the player must guide Sonic into specific buildings.
other
"Sonic World" also features a "mission list" accessible via jumping on a trampoline.
other

other
"Sonic Jam" is compatible with the Saturn's 3D Control Pad.

At the 1997 Tokyo Game Show, Sega announced "Project Sonic", a promotional campaign aimed at increasing market awareness of the "Sonic the Hedgehog" brand.
other
Yuji Naka, the creator of "Sonic the Hedgehog", declared that "phase one" of the project would introduce "Sonic Jam" as a compilation of games with several improvements rather than being direct ports.
other
At the time of the Tokyo Game Show, the game was "88% complete".
other
According to Naka, the purpose of "Project Sonic" was not only to increase consumer awareness, but to "renew the excitement" the world once had regarding Sega, as "Sonic the Hedgehog" was only initially successful outside of Japan.
other
Development began after the release of "Nights into Dreams" in July 1996, after Sonic Team received letters from fans asking "who Sonic was".
other
Sonic creators Naka and Naoto Ohshima thought it was important to introduce people to the Sonic character, which was the basis for introducing "Project Sonic" to the public.
other
Until the release of "Sonic Jam", the studio had not worked on a "Sonic" game since "Sonic & Knuckles" in 1994.
other
Naka thought that Sonic Team had had a period to "recharge our batteries" and had new ideas.
other
"Sonic World" was part of an experiment to see how a "Sonic the Hedgehog" game would work in full 3D, and served as a prototype for the first fully 3D "Sonic" game, "Sonic Adventure," which began development for the Saturn but was moved to its successor, the Dreamcast.
other
"Sonic World" uses the same engine as "Nights."
other
Naka's refusal to share the "Nights" engine with the Sega Technical Institute (STI) team developing "Sonic X-treme"—a factor in the latter's cancellation—may have been motivated by his preference for Sonic Team to create an original 3D "Sonic" game.
other
Naka later expressed "relief" that "X-treme" was cancelled.
other
Naka and Ohshima said the most difficult process was gathering game-specific information in "Sonic World", as "there are so many games we have never even heard of ... Sega's a big company and before we knew it lots of different game systems had sprung up (including Game Gear, Master System and Pico)."
other
"Sonic Jam" was released in Japan on 20 June 1997, and the Saturn version of "" was released in the end of that year.
