Sonic 3 And Knuckles - Mushroom Hill Zone Giant Ring Locations

Just an update on the previous video, I seemed to have missed one, Thanks to William5000000 who notified me of it. Screwed up #7 because I was going to fast, you need to hit the spring to reach it, hence why I couldn't be bothered to roll back and used Tails to get me up there.
There are 8 in total, 4 in act 1 and 4 in act 2. :)
Enjoy! :)

[@MarkoDinicDinke]

Hello there! We all know that Sonic Origins has a plethora of bugs, but the physics in S3&K in Origins is also not the same as it is in the OG games and various ROM hacks/mods. This is particularly noticeable for the path you have to take now in Origins to get to the 5th special stage in Mushroom Hill. You cannot take the spring that is used in this video, you have to go a bit further down the path and then climb up. Perhaps there's a physics mod for PC ports of the game that fixes this, but that would only be for a portion of the playerbase. Happy hunting! EDIT: Looks like you can reach the 5th ring now with that spring at the beginning of act 2.

[@jackjensensplaythroughsrev49]

@@MarkoDinicDinke Yeah, I was confused on that part at first, but I looked a little closer and saw that I was just on the platform under the giant ring up there. (The platform under the 5th giant ring, which has 2 item monitors) So I just used Tails to fly up to the ring.

I'm landing somewhere completely different on the first one in mushroom hill act 2. Is there a longer path you could show?

[@MarkoDinicDinke]

There was a discussion about that a few weeks ago. Basically, the physics are not the same as in the OG games, so that spring doesn't send you far enough anymore. You have to go a bit further before you can climb up there.

[@chrissmithers3255]

Thank you this helped a lot.

7:00 Years ago I found that secret by accident but I don’t know how to do it again. Seeing it now makes me think that you need to do the pulley till you can’t no more then use the spring to get to the area, I’m not sure if I’m correct or not.

Correct, you have to get the pully all the way to the top and then you can reach that secret area.

Besides, it's nearly impossible to miss the Knuckles exclusive one.

If you’ve beaten the game, and are going back for the emeralds, do you have to beat the level if you collect an emerald in it, in order for it to save? Or if you collect an emerald, can you reset the game and try for the next one? Playing the original cartridges and am curious. Thanks!

[@MarkoDinicDinke]

I have no idea last time I played this on cartriges was back in the 90s on the Genesis. :'D Can always start a new game, exit the stage/game after getting the first one to test it out. I'd reckon it's the same, no matter which system you play it on.

what buttons do i have to tap to make tails hold sonic and fly?

[@MarkoDinicDinke]

There's a ROM hack of this game which improves the controls a bit, gives you more options, so you can just hold up and jump to make Tails do that, but if you only have the original version, you will have to use a 2nd controller or assign the keybinds for the 2nd player and then just get tails in position, jump with the 2nd player's controls and then jump with Sonic to grab on to Tails.

How you active the tails to fly you

[@MarkoDinicDinke]

In this case, using a second set of controls, but there's a ROM of the game called Sonic 3 Complete which gives you the option of activating him like in Sonic Mania (though they took that from that ROM in actuality) by holding up while standing still and pressing the jump button. Flight controls in there are kind of better as well when it comes to jumping off. :)
