SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3, in my opinion, is one of the best Sega Genesis games I have ever played. Even though I haven't owned a Nintendo Wii for very long, I still enjoy it very much. In addition, even though I've never made it to the last level, I still enjoy the game very much. However, I made a promise to myself that I am going to figure out how to beat this game. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Sega Genesis know how to keep video game fanatics entertained. Now, in conclusion, if you're a video game fanatic, this is definitely one you'll want to play and own, so when you can, buy a Nintendo Wii and download this game.
"Sonic 3 & Knuckles" is one of the most epic games I've ever played. Knuckles' story tends to be more dramatic, what with the 'shadowy Dr. Eggman' (Dr.Eggman/Robotnik with a helmet on), fighting Metallix (AKA Mecha Sonic, AKA Metal Sonic) twice and finding fun hidden passages around the ruins of Angel Island that Sonic and Tails can neither access (unless you're using the handy-dandy debug setting). There isn't an act in the game that I don't love, but my absolute favorite is The Doomsday Zone Act 2 in which starts out in silence with Sonic/Tails/Knuckles spinning through one of the reverse polarity machines (Which turns the sprite of your choice upside down). Many SNES "Donky Kong Country" fans hate the soundtrack to this game because DKC had more dimension. I, for one, wish that a composer and a DJ would collabarate and turn the tunes into music preformed by live instuments.
I feel influences of Michael Jackson's "Keep it in the Closet" in the Carnival Night Zone theme and I'm feeling a bit of Phil Collins' 'Both Sides' album style and Genesis' 'We Can't Dance' album style mixed in the 2-player selection music. A lovely mix of music and epic gaming that after 10 years I still cannot put down.

Sonic 3 takes off exactly where the second phenominal game ended, like the back the future movies, where we land on Angel Island after the Death Egg gets blown to pieces, and there's the sweet music playing, where all the animals fly to paradise. This game has Knuckles, an annoying cocky enemy who picks on Sonic, and is was convinced here that Sonic's his enemy. This games the shortest and easiest in the series, and back in the day I would of been so excited to own it, it's my least favorite in the series, although there's a new sound when you get an extra life, and when you get the spheres that make it so nothing can hurt you temporarily. The final boss on Launch Base zone is easy. first he's Robotnik going up and down with a few small moons, then he comes back big, with a pointed long spike claw that can grab you and take all your rings away, and continues are hardest to get here, you have to save the game. There are six zones, with only two acts: Angel Island, Hydrocity, Marble Garden, Carnival, ice Cap, and Launch Base zone. On Ice Cap zone, is the most amazing, special level on the game, you get to go extreme skiing into an ice cave, which is the level.
For some reason, the third Sonic game doesn't pack the same punch as the first two. Sonic and Tails are back and the game offers new things: more new robots, new power ups and a brand new enemy, Knuckles. The game even takes place in a new setting. However, the game is just not as fun as the first two. Something appears to be lacking here and the game becomes boring very quickly. Might as well skip this one in the Sonic series.
Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most famous video games of all time! The characters, the jumping, the power-ups, and the sure thrill of adventure makes this entire series a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

Overall: I have always loved Sonic the Hedgehog! If you like excellent adventure games then I strongly recommend you play this game!

Did you know
- TriviaThe music from Ice Cap Zone is actually a remake of an unreleased song from 1982, "Hard Times" by The Jetzons, a band co-composer Brad Buxer was apart of.
- GoofsWhen you get to the boss at the end of Hydrocity Act 1, it plays the Dr. Robotnik music rather than the mini-boss music. (This goof was fixed for "Sonic 3 & Knuckles".)
- Crazy creditsThe ending credits vary depending on how many Chaos Emeralds you collected throughout the game:
- If you collected all 7 Emeralds, then dolphins are seen following Sonic and Tails' plane. At the end, Sonic and Tails stand beside the Sonic 3 title.
- If you didn't collect them all, birds follow the plane (but no dolphins). At the end Robotnik and Knuckles will be happily juggling the Emeralds you missed over the words "TRY AGAIN."
