I remember the hype behind Sonic the Hedgehog 3 like it was yesterday! The 16-bit Sonic games are some of my favorite games of all time and Sega went all in with this one. It was so big that it had to be split into two games for crying out loud! Today I am going super-fast as I take a look at one of the finest platform games the Sega Genes/Mega Drive has to offer.
Sonic The Hedgehog 3, is a 1994 platform game developed and published by Sega. But now we have an Unofficial Mobile Port recreated for the fans by the fans. Also Thank You To @SonicChannelYT because:-Thumbnail Art.-Cartridge 3D Intro Spinning.-Background Drawing of Sonic & Knuckles Menu.-Intro of Sonic Cutscene. And @stickyP2 because. Sonic is one of those character who doesn’t need to be presented. It doesn’t matter how long it is since you played it the last time because you will always remember it. Today, we ofer you an excellent version for your PC of one of the last games of the magnific Sega sage: Sonic and Knuckles 3. Stream Act 2 Mixes. Sonic 3 A.I.R. , a playlist by marshammi from desktop or your mobile device. S3AIR +5 ↺1 Sonic 3 A.I.R. SSBC +4 ↺2 Super Smash Bros.

While it did make its way to PC and later consoles, Sonic R was the only exclusive (at the time) Sonic the hedgehog game that the Sega Saturn would get in its lifetime. It is a game that has a very mixed fan base with some enjoying it and others ranking it as one of the worst Sonic games ever to be released.
This Time The Stakes Are Super High!
Talking about the “story” of this game is rather hard. You see to get the complete experience you need Sonic & Knuckles as well. However, Sega went all in with this one. Once again Robotnik is causing trouble. However, he is being assisted by Knuckles who thinks that Sonic is bad, not to mention there is now a giant Chaos Emerald as well. It is crazy stuff and things just feel much “larger” in scale than in the previous Sonic games.
Getting It All Out Of The Genesis
The visuals of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 are some of the best that the Genesis has to offer. The leap from Sonic 2 to this is just staggering and it is one aspect of the game that does not get talked about enough for me. Each of the zones has its own style, but the amount of details and scope of each one is amazing. From the lush jungles of Angel Island to the wackiness of Carnival Zone to the breathtakingly cold Ice Cap Zone. Each section of the game has its own theme and style.
Go Hedgehog!
The soundtrack is amazing as you would expect from a Sonic game. While we all know that the tunes from the first game are classics. If I had to pick a favorite soundtrack from the Sonic series hands down it would be Sonic the Hedgehog 3. There has always been the rumor that Michael Jackson had something to do with this. I do not know for sure if that is true (I like to think it is) what I can tell you for sure is that the music in this game is awesome!
Short, But Sweet
The biggest complaint that most people and myself have about this game is the length. It is far too short! They give you a save game feature which is cool, but I feel this was really there for Sonic & Knuckles. While the game is very short, the levels are rather large, there is a new mini-game, and getting those Chaos Emeralds is as tough as it has ever been. So yes, you can get through the game fairly quickly, but the fact is this game is amazing from start to end.
Sonic controls just like he always has done. There are some new things added to the game. Tails is much more useful this time around and if you are stuck being player 2 and you have to be Tails, it is much more enjoyable. The biggest difference in the gameplay is the power-ups. Now Mario can no longer judge Sonic for a lack of power-ups as Sonic has some of his own. He can use a fire shield that can make him burst forward in a flame ball! A water bubble that lets him breathe underwater and bounce, he can also use a magnetic shield that will attract rings. These are a lot of fun to use and they let you take a hit before you lose your rings.
Look we all know that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is only half the experience of what Sega intended. However, even without Sonic & Knuckles locked on this is a truly amazing platform game. It is a bit on the short side, but from start to end this is one hell of a thrill ride and it is the perfect challenge for those of us who had mastered Sonic 1 and 2.
