@TarkusAB, don't mean to bother you, but just wanted to ask if you're still doing this? JOEBRO64 17:12, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Yea yea sorry, I'm gonna try and get to it tonight or tomorrow night. Just been busy. TarkusAB^talk 17:31, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

OK everything checks out. The only comment I have is on the claim that this game has an overworld system. If I remember right, there would be a transitional screen between levels that would show how far Sonic had made it through the island, that's it, no interaction, kind of like Ghosts 'n Goblins if you've ever played that. I think of true overworlds as more interactive like Station Square, at least something you can wander around yourself. My suggestion is to omit the overworld claim, what do you think?

Oh and also I tried to find sources that discussed "Together Again"'s similarity to Bridge Zone but couldn't find as much as I expected to find. One source said Bridge Zone inspired Together Again which sounds completely bogus. TarkusAB^talk 03:48, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

@TarkusAB, thanks for the review. I've struck the overworld mention (I used the word "overworld" because that was what one of the magazines called it and used the explanation IGN gave). I do still think it's a notable change from the Genesis version but won't add it back until I can come up with a better way to describe it. And yeah didn't really find anything about the resemblance "Together Again" bears to Bridge Zone. JOEBRO64 14:58, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

OK cool, article is outstanding otherwise so an easy pass! TarkusAB^talk 15:41, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
