"THE ONE WITH M.J.'S FINGERPRINTS
ALL OVER IT.
THAT'S NOOOO GOOD."
The Rise & Fall of Sonic the Hedgehog marathon continues as Rick, Flux, and Cylon roll straight into Sonic the Hedgehog 3! This one is extra special—it's Rick’s all-time favorite of the 2D Sonic games! With bigger levels, better graphics, buttery smooth gameplay, and that god-tier soundtrack (thanks, MJ?), Sonic 3 takes everything great about the series and cranks it up.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Sonic game without frustration, and while Rick loves this game to death, even he can't deny the late-game difficulty spikes. Marble Garden’s slow, bouncy hell? Ice Cap’s snowboard deception? Carnival Night’s infamous barrel of doom? Oh yeah, the pain is real.
The gang races through the best platforming the blue blur ever had to offer while cracking jokes, roasting Eggman, and maybe, just maybe, actually getting all the Chaos Emeralds for once. Will Rick’s favorite Sonic game still hold up? Will Flux and Cylon survive the brutal later stages? Find out in this blast-processing-fueled adventure!
GAME BIO:
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a 1994 platformer developed by Sega Technical Institute and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It introduced larger levels, improved physics, elemental shields, and Knuckles the Echidna—who spends the entire game being a huge jerk (thanks, Eggman). Considered by many to be the peak of classic Sonic, Sonic 3 delivers some of the franchise’s best level design, music, and storytelling.
