Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, released in Japan as Sonic & Tails 2 (ソニック&テイルス2 Sonikku to Teirusu Tsū?) is a platform video game developed by Aspect and published by Sega for the Game Gear in 1994. It is the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog Chaos and takes place during the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The game received mixed reviews, with critics commenting that the game was enjoyable, but too easy, and had too little to make it stand out from previous Sonic games. Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble was re-released on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in March 2012.
Dr. Robotnik managed to capture all of the Chaos Emeralds, but an accident in the testing phase of his new ultimate weapon, the "Atomic Destroyer", scatters the Emeralds all across the island. While Sonic and Tails are out to retrieve them, they are cut short by Knuckles the Echidna. Robotnik finds the yellow Emerald first, and dupes Knuckles into believing Sonic and Tails are out to steal the Emeralds.
Additionally, a treasure hunter named Nack the Weasel takes advantage of the fact that they are all distracted with fighting one another, in order to take the Emeralds for himself. He does not know of the power of the Emeralds, only that they'd be worth a lot of money, so he sets out to take them for himself before the others do.
