I have a responce to what Tiberious posted about Sonic one and Knuckles:

No, I don't believe it is possible.  As far as I know, Sonic and Knuckles disables
all Sonic sprites in Sonic 2 and Knuckles.  It also adds its own.  I also do not think that
the current version of Sonic and Knuckles (The released one) has any Sonic one level data
in it.  This is easy to explain based on the fact there specifically Knuckles's routes.)
and very little data about Sonic two (Replacements).  If Sonic and Knuckles really was
compatible, there would have to be more replacements (title screen change, and who knows
what else) to compensate, which could be easily avoided by adding the 395 kb to Sonic and
Knuckles easily and only running it if the game was detected.  Sonic one was incredibly
small, and as far as I am concerned, would have been simply...Placed on the same game.  

Aside from that, Sonic one would have to be programmed for the spin-dash that was used
in later games, and the fact that Knuckles can break walls easily.  I'm willing to wager
the only reason Sonic two has Knuckles break walls easily is because a Copy of Sonic
three and Knuckles sat on the CEO's desktop when the game was finished.  There were
a number of odd last minute changes, after all.  Perhaps the ability was..only the
second statement, while perparing for ideas, Sonic two was completed late enough for
this statement, for future possibilities.  If this is true, then it would definately
explain why Knuckles was yanked from Sonic one.  He just couldn't break walls.
I hardly doubt that the conveyor belts would cause a change.  If it crashed,
they could replace the data with Death egg Zone type data, which, coincidentaly,
has Conveyor builts.  That is...to have a character sit around and fly across the
board easily.  The theory by Tiberious is unlikely.
