I had actually gotten Sonic and Knuckles right when it was released. It wasn't until like 5 years ago that I'd even gotten Sonic 3. That game is so awesome... I'm going to play it again sometime next week for sure.

Save states in the game are awesome, and it's a nice challenge, but, not so much that 1 in 3,000 people can only beat it.. Like some other super difficult games of that time.
