    I…don’t understand. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is about Shadow from Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast, and they put it on a platform two generations before that game or the Dreamcast were ever created?

      I think the did it because that’s the platform the game Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released on.
