Sonic the Hedgehog 3 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Paramount's glossy Amazon exclusive SteelBook release for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is quite attractive, albeit more or less the same as the other SteelBook, just worth a couple of differences. The smooth front panel features Shadow running forward against a background of red lightning bolts, those being against a beige-y white foundation. The rear panel features the same background content but includes a circle inside of which is none other than a grinning Dr. Robotnik with his fist clenched, pointed forward. The circle is slightly offset below the center line. The spine is the same beige-y white color with the film's title in red and blue colors, center, and a black Paramount logo at the top.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features identical artwork as found in the other UHD SteelBook: On the left hand side buyers will find a bright, blue background character collage featuring three heroes: Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. On the right, buyers will find a red background, three-character collage featuring Shadow, Ivo, and Gerald Robotnik. The various colors are nice and vivid on these panels.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Well, looking a this SteelBook and the other Sonic 3 SteelBook is sort of like one of those "spot the differences" puzzles in a children's book. The interiors are the same and the exteriors are the same except for a change in color and a change in characters. Pick your favorite! Either way, inside is a solid movie with great tech specs. Recommended!
