However, the levels in Sonic 3 offer more interaction than those in previous games, in the form of such things as zip lines, fireman's poles, and giant tree trunks that you can climb by running upward inside of them. Gameplay still mainly involves running quickly through colorful 2D environments, collecting gold rings, popping enemies, and bashing bosses-all while bouncy music plays in the background. These help establish the personalities of both Sonic and Knuckles, as well as gradually reveal how Robotnik managed to enlist Knuckles' aid in the first place. Unlike Sonic 2, which only had a couple of brief story scenes near the end of the game, Sonic 3 is loaded with brief transitions and lengthier story sequences. Knuckles will appear frequently throughout the rest of the game to help the characters segue from one stage to the next and to act as a boss on occasion. Right off the bat, they're stopped by Robotnik's new partner and Sonic's soon-to-be rival, Knuckles the Echidna. The opening cinematic sequence shows Super Sonic and Tails tracking Robotnik's spaceship from the previous game to an island that we'll soon learn is called Angel Island. Sonic 3 basically picks up where Sonic 2 left off.
However, once you really dig in, you'll come to appreciate the many little improvements that help set Sonic the Hedgehog 3 apart from its predecessors.Īside from the main mode, you can also compete against another player in a series of five special courses. At first glance, it'll probably seem incredible to you that Sega needed any length of time at all to produce what, on the surface, merely appears to be a formulaic follow-up to Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
But thanks to the Virtual Console service, Wii owners only had to wait three months. Back in the 16-bit days, Sonic fans had to wait almost two years for the release of the third Sonic the Hedgehog game after second one.
