Players choose Sonic or Knuckles and move through side-scrolling stages, jumping across platforms, attacking enemies, and collecting rings. Sonic focuses on speed and rolling attacks, while Knuckles can glide and climb to access alternate paths and secrets. Progress is stage-based, with ring loss acting as protection against damage and extra lives earned through play. Careful timing is important because the pre-rendered backgrounds can make depth perception tricky.
