SRAM stands for Saved [[RAM]]. Also known as "battery". This is usually small - about a [[byte|kilobyte]]. As the name "battery" implies, SRAM must have power constantly running through it, or it will be erased, and the smaller it is, the longer it will last. A typical battery lasts around a hundred years, so there is no need to worry about them running out.
 
 
 
[[Sonic 3]] uses SRAM to save games. [[Sonic 3 & Knuckles]] also uses SRAM, but the games are stored in the Sonic 3 [[cartridge]], not the [[Sonic & Knuckles]] cartridge.
 
 
 
 
 
''The term "SRAM" is sometimes used to refer to the System RAM, which is more commonly called simply the [[RAM]].''
