Sonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit is a 2022 platform game created by American indie developer and music composer Noah Copeland.

The player controls Sonic and Tails simultaneously, unlike in the original game, and must guide them through a series of levels.

Although a significant amount of the remake was done by Copeland, he received help from numerous collaborators with different aspects of the game.

[2] MeriStation determined that Triple Trouble 16-Bit expanded upon the original game while retaining its spirit, and considered it a “superb reinterpretation”.

[27] VG247, while noting that Triple Trouble 16-Bit wasn't as polished as an official Sonic game, felt it came close to the quality of one.

They remarked that, despite the levels being expanded, Triple Trouble 16-Bit preserved the “pleasantly compact feel” of the original.

[4] Time Extension believed that the level transitions completed the experience, and that the game had a “heightened sense of continuity and storytelling”.
