This compilation was officially announced on December 2, 2009 by Sega of America and was released March 2, 2010, although news of this compilation first broke when it was classified by the Australian Government's OFLC. It features two extra lock-on modes from the originals, which allows the player to play Knuckles in Sonic 2 and to play the complete version of Sonic 3 (titled Knuckles in Sonic 3 as opposed to the original Sonic 3 & Knuckles title). Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic & Knuckles receive the addition of a save option; while players can "save anywhere" as billed, they must restart the act in which they saved - they are, however, allowed to keep their score and Chaos Emeralds from when they saved, as well as any extra lives and continues earned. The collection also includes a gallery of images.

Sonic Classic Collection was met with mixed to positive reactions from critics, receiving a 70 out of 100 on Metacritic. Most praise was directed at the quality of the games included, but was criticized for its noticeable slowdown compared to previous releases and how the artwork featured was the only extra included.

The game was released for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2 in Japan on August 11, 2005, in Europe on September 30, 2005, and in North America on August 16, 2005.

The French site jeuxvideo.com gave the game a 9 out of 20, praised the inclusion of Sonic R and Sonic CD, but criticized Sonic The Fighters to be too short and the others games being uninteresting: "En effet, seuls Sonic CD et Sonic R ont un réel potentiel. Pour ce qui est de Sonic Fighters, il est beaucoup trop court. Quant aux jeux Game Gear, ils ne constituent que de petits apéritifs." (Indeed, only Sonic R and Sonic CD have real potential. As for Sonic Fighters, it is way too short. As for the Game Gear games, they are mere aperitifs.)
