Sonic & Knuckles Collection is a Sonic the Hedgehog compilation game for Microsoft Windows-based PCs.
The ports have all of the music played in MIDI format. Additionally the windows version has an option in the set-up menu for FM synthesis instead of general midi. (making music sound much closer to the original version) Some music (Carnival Night Zone, Ice Cap Zone, Launch Base Zone, Knuckles' theme, and the credits music) was replaced with original music. One possible explanation for this is that the pieces of music from the Genesis version used sound effects not contained within the General MIDI standard, and many sound cards at the time of release did not have the capability to play additional samples along with the MIDI. Another explanation for the replacement is that the songs were replaced due to legal reasons, because connections could be made between similar songs by Michael Jackson. Other than that, the gameplay is identical to their Genesis counterparts.
