Pros
+Includes boss and stages not in the console/PC port
+Great OST

Cons
-Missing a lot of stages/levels from the console/PC port
-Boss battles relegated to racing levels compared to console/PC port
-Length of game severely reduced
-Collecting Chaos Emeralds requires you to go through bonus stages which is difficult due to the 3DS screen size of seeing objects, load time for objects to spawn and the controls being not as good as a actual controller
-Frustrating controls and camera size, high chance of falling into pits or running into enemies
-Missing characters and cutscenes
-3DS version cutscenes are still images and the story is significantly cut compared to the console/PC port.
