Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Complete Walkthrough

A complete walkthrough of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for the Sega Genesis.

[@RiaAndrews]

By far one of the greatest games ever created.

and that’s why S3&K Is The Best Classic Sonic Game.

[@fourarmsfromben10]

@@Basnaser that’s your opinion though, my opinion is sonic mania plus cos it’s the same as sonic mania, but with 2 new characters known as mighty and ray

This is _the_ definitive Sonic the Hedgehog experience right here. There's no such thing as a perfect game, but damn does this get close.

[@JuneCantrell188]

This game is perhaps the best introduction to gaming a person could ever have. It basically can and will open the doors of gaming to a non-gamer.

[@venetianmacao2019]

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the best platformer ever made.

[@goodnight23672]

It's my favorite video game in my childhood.

[@DonaldinaWinckler]

This game blew me away with its graphics and music when it came out in 1994, and it still looks absolutely beautiful today. My favorite stage was always the Ice Cap Zone, closely followed by Lava Reef.

[@LeaIlaGaines]

In my opinion, especially when linked with sonic and knuckles, the greatest sonic saga of them all. You had to be there to truly know that feeling. The music, redesigned sprites, sonic the comic playing out the storyline, the 90’sness....

[@user-fj8ok8ze5m]

It's good especially when you plug sonic 3 because I feel like I am then playing the entire game. Look how long sonic 2 is. Yes I've beaten all sonic games. My favorite is sonic 3+sonic and knuckles just because of that feature.

[@SoulReaperSlayer19]

Yes definitely one of the best games. I had no idea that other cartridges went into the S & K cartridge

[@user-fj8ok8ze5m]

@SoulReaperSlayer19 sonic 3 goes in it very well and Sonic 2 will be with only knuckles. Sonic 1 plays all those stages. That's how it all works.

[@CarlyAsh]

Man this brings back so many childhood memories. The visuals, the level design, the music. Perfection. This is one of the only games I can say with confidence that I completely _mastered._

[@SHSscorp82]

33:46 I think has to be my favorite level. Just sound, music & pinball feel make it an awesome level from top to bottom.

[@NormanNemaColton-hv3se]

I've been playing sonic the hedgehog for 13 years, but I have never seen someone this good.

[@brandonmerrithew317]

I've seen some insane Any% Speedruns. This guy's good though. Way better than I. Lol

[@krzysztofbigzygi9477]

42:37 I was stuck in this place for a few days... I never stood on the platform, I always jumped. my friend played as talis and jumped to make the platform lower and I tried to escape... SEVERAL DAYS!!! old times with no internet for solution

[@gatorfexxl6301]

old days.. i tried to get the bubble with Sonic, then spam the jump button over and over until that thing goes down and then try to "glitch" into the wall.. yess, it was possible in this way, but playing knuckles is easier because he can take an another path ; then nowdays, i learned that i can use up and down arrow to move as it should...

[@arwurth]

I read somewhere that they were originally going to put in the instruction manual how to press up/down to get those barrels to move but that text was left out. Couldn't figure it out for the life of me until I read it in a game magazine how to do it lol

[@E_Kaneki]

Same here

[@lanceblythe8357]

My boy loves sonic. He's only 5 bless

[@Azerty00075]

I just read that Michael Jackson wrote the music for this game.

[@abrahamariasdelatorre4234]

I wouldnt be surprised cause music on this game is amazing!! same as the stages design!!

[@LightLife4]

He did but he left over creative reasons so he was either uncredited or his contribution was replaced

[@NyanBi]

that's not wholly true. he did help compose the music for ice cap, carnival night, and launch base zone, but angel island, hydroxcity, and (most likely) marble garden were all composed by sega staff. he also helped compose the mini boss music from sonic 3, and the credits

[@LITTLE1994]

Actually, no, he didn't. He just inspired a couple songs in the Sonic 3 half of the game.

[@GrAPeBombZ]

It's true. Google it even

[@djlfruitneptune]

33:41 I really like the transition

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

I always found it funny how tails was no help in the special stages at all in sonic 3. at least in sonic 2 he could help you get rings that you missed in the special stages.

[@GayKermit-._-.]

​@@Huckjustathat's a story not a name 💀

[@jeepgamer0328]

He could also lose all your rings

[@samusbros66]

10:33 he would beg to be bombed

[@leslieadams2580]

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a 1994 platform game developed and published by Sega for the Genesis. Like previous Sonic games, players traverse side-scrolling levels while collecting rings and defeating enemies. They control Sonic and Tails, who attempt to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds to stop the evil Doctor Robotnik from relaunching his space station, the Death Egg, after it crash-lands on a mysterious floating island. Sonic 3 introduces Knuckles the Echidna, the island guardian, who lays traps for Sonic and Tails

[@user-fj8ok8ze5m]

That's how Sonic & Knuckles game is the second half of sonic 3. And when you play it like that it's a longer version of sonic 3. Too bad they couldn't add those levels like they did with sonic 2. Sonic 2 you'll spend more hours than sonic 1. When you play it like sonic 3 & knuckles it's the complete version. Plus you unlock hyper sonic.

[@sega-megadeth1276]

Happy 30th Anniversary of Hedgehog Day (the US release of Sonic 3)

42:36 This is where the game ended for a lot kids in the 90s.

Fun Fact: the extra life sound effect in Sonic 3 Alone is basically just the original version of Sonic Mania Extra Life Sound Effect but in Sonic 3 and Knuckles, the life sound effect is completely different.
