This game was released on February 2, 1994, "Hedgehog" Day. The zones in this game may only be 2 acts, but the acts were twice as big as the ones in Sonic 2. Therefore there was a lot more to discover in this game. Just realize that if you're locking on Sonic and Knuckles you'll be heading over ground not mentioned in here sometimes. Doctor Robotnik has returned but this time he's not alone....this time he's brought Knuckles The Echidna and rebuilt his greatest invention - The Death Egg!!! Enjoy!</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Story</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF33" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Whatever happened to the Death Egg after Sonic 2? After getting knocked out of the sky along with his entire Death Egg ship, Dr. Robotnik crash-landed on a mysterious Floating Island where he quickly meets Knuckles the Echidna, last of a lost civilization and guardian of the Floating Island - as well as a giant emerald better known as the mysterious "Master Emerald". The Eggman dupes Knuckles into thinking that Sonic and Tails are the bad guys, and learns that a giant Master Emerald keeps the island afloat. If he could get this Master Emerald, there would be no need for regular chaos emeralds as he would have a new source of Death Egg fuel - Forever! And while Knuckles is doing the rounds with Sonic and Tails, the Doc should have plenty of time to repair his Death Egg, as well as search for this Master Emerald....</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Codes</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF33" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Level Select / Sound Test (Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or Sonic & Knuckles Alone) </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Start Mushroom Hill or Angel Island. For Angel Island grab a vine - For Mushroom Hill grab a Pull-Up machine. (An easy one to find is in Sonic and Tails' version of Act 1. It's just after the box with the power sneakers and the Madmole.) Hang from the vine/machine and press left left left, right right right, up up up. You should hear a ring sound. Pause the game and press A to reset to the title screen.</B></div> <div> <B>Construction / Debug Mode (Sonic 3 & Knuckles) </B></div> <div> <B>To activate Debug, siply do the Level Select code in both Angel Island and Mushroom Hill.</B> </div> <div> <B>Debug is not quite the same as it was in the previous Sonic games. You still press B to use Debug, A to place items, and C to cycle between items. However, when Debug isn't being use, the game timer is not messed up, and pressing A will cause gravity to reverse like it does in Death Egg Zone Act 2.</B></div> <div> <B>Level Select / Sound Test (Sonic 3) </B></div> <div> <B>When the Sega logo comes up, just after the "Sega" theme is sung and the screen begins to turn black, quickly press: Up, Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up to the beat of the drums. You should hear a ring chime if you did it correctly. A new Sound Test option should appear at the title screen.</B> </div> <div> <B>The Flying Battery, Mushroom Hill, and Sandopolis Zones are visible on the Level Select screen, but can't be played without Lock-On. Those levels were originally intended for Sonic 3, but were pulled in order to release the game on time.</B></div> <div> <B>Construction / Debug Mode (Sonic 3) </B></div> <div> <B>Enter the Level Select code, then press A + Start to choose your starting level. Once the action starts, press B to change into an item, A to cycle between the available items, and C to place an item.</B> </div> <div> <B>Alternatively, turn on the Genesis and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Up, Up Up before Sonic gets fully on screen.</B></div> <div> <B>Sonic 2 -> Sonic 3 Cheat (Sonic 3 - duh) </B></div> <div> <B>If you can't do the super-tough Level Select code for Sonic 3, there is an alternative.</B> </div> <div> <B>(WARNING: I'm not sure if this code is healthy for your Genesis or not, but it is not representative of recommended use, so I strongly recommend that you do not use it. Keep trying the regular Level Select code, or just do the much easier Sonic 3 & Knuckles Level Select instead.)</B> </div> <div> <B>Insert Sonic 2 and enter the Sonic 2 Level Select (play sounds 19, 65, 09, and 17). Return to the title screen, hold A and press Start. To transfer this to Sonic 3, hold A and carefully remove the cartridge without turning off the Genesis. Insert Sonic 3 and press Reset. Finally, release A and press Down twice at the main menu.</B></div> <div> <B>Easy Emeralds / Superness </B></div> <div> <B>To gain all the chaos emeralds, enter the Level Select code, then highlight "Special Stage" and press C + Start. After receiving the emerald, press A + Start and repeat the process until you have them all.</B> </div> <div> <B>Alternatively, enter the Sound Test code and play sounds 2, 4, 5, 6 in order. If you did it correctly, the Emerald sound will play.</B></div> <div> <B>Nightime Play </B></div> <div> <B>Enter the Level Select code, then press C + Start to choose your starting level.</B></div> <div> <B>The Missing Special Stage </B></div> <div> <B>Access a special stage not found with Sonic and Knuckles!!!!!! For an all new bonus stage, enable Level Select, then play tune 1F. Finally, highlight stage 2 and hold A while pressing Start.</B></div> <div> <B>Bonus Boards Unlimited </B></div> <div> <B>Enter the Level Select code, then highlight the "2P Vs" option and press START. You will enter a series of bonus stages that last until you reset the system or press A+START.</B></div> <div> <B>Special Controls - Escape, Slow Motion, Frame Advance </B></div> <div> <B>After the Level Select / Sound Test Code has been entered, pause in any level. Press A to escape to the game's title screen, B to advance several frames ahead in time (repeatedly for slow-motion), or C to advance one frame ahead in time.</B></div> <div> <B>Animation Gallery </B></div> <div> <B>After the Construction / Debug Mode Code has been entered, enter a level, and press B while holding C. Your character will start cycling very quickly through every animation he has. Use the Pause-C "frame skip" to see every frame of every animation. There are several that were not used in the final game, including Sonic whistling and Sonic falling asleep.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Game Genie Codes</B></div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>Game Genie </B></div> <div> <B>(Sonic 3 Only) </B></div> <div> <B>AA6T-AAXC Level select</B> </div> <div> <B>AWHA-CA92 Don't lose rings</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGT-DJYL Rings worth 2</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGT-DNYL Rings worth 3</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGT-DTYL Rings worth 4</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGT-DYYL Rings worth 5</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGT-D2YL Rings worth 6</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGT-D6YL Rings worth 7</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGT-DAYL Rings worth 8</B> </div> <div> <B>KRGT-CAE0 75 Rings needed for a free guy</B> </div> <div> <B>GLGT-CAE0 50 Rings needed for a free guy</B> </div> <div> <B>D4GT-CAE0 30 Rings needed for a free guy</B> </div> <div> <B>CWGT-CAE0 20 Rings needed for a free guy</B> </div> <div> <B>BLGT-CAE0 10 Rings needed for a free guy</B> </div> <div> <B>HCGT-DJZY Get 2 free guys for 100 rings instead of 1</B> </div> <div> <B>HCGT-DNZY Get 3 free guys for 100 rings</B> </div> <div> <B>HCGT-DTZY Get 4 free guys for 100 rings</B> </div> <div> <B>HCGT-DYZY Get 5 free guys for 100 rings</B> </div> <div> <B>HCGT-D2ZY Get 6 free guys for 100 rings</B> </div> <div> <B>HCGT-D6ZY Get 7 free guys for 100 rings</B> </div> <div> <B>HCGT-DAZY Get 8 free guys for 100 rings</B> </div> <div> <B>AC5A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 0</B> </div> <div> <B>A05A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 5 instead of 10</B> </div> <div> <B>B85A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 15</B> </div> <div> <B>CW5A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 20</B> </div> <div> <B>DG5A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 25</B> </div> <div> <B>D45A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 30</B> </div> <div> <B>GL5A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 50</B> </div> <div> <B>NW5A-CAHN Super ring powerup worth 100 (1-Up every time</B> </div> <div> <B>AJZA-CA8N Super Sonic doesn't lose rings</B> </div> <div> <B>AJ3A-CA7A Infinite lives</B> </div> <div> <B>AG4T-AAH4 Start with 1 life</B> </div> <div> <B>AL4T-AAH4 Start with 2 lives</B> </div> <div> <B>A04T-AAH4 Start with 5 lives</B> </div> <div> <B>BL4T-AAH4 Start with 10 lives</B> </div> <div> <B>DG4T-AAH4 Start with 25 lives</B> </div> <div> <B>GL4T-AAH4 Start with 50 lives</B> </div> <div> <B>NR4T-AAH4 Start with 99 lives</B> </div> <div> <B>ACAT-CAB6 Shield can be activated multiple times</B> </div> <div> <B>AJRT-CA8R Invincibility power-ups last forever</B> </div> <div> <B>986A-CAB6 Invincibility lasts almost twice as long</B> </div> <div> <B>KR6A-CAB6 Invincibility lasts half as long</B> </div> <div> <B>E06A-CAB6 Invincibility lasts 1/4 as long</B> </div> <div> <B>SCFT-BJT4 Only need 6 chaos emeralds</B> </div> <div> <B>SCFT-BNT4 Only need 4 chaos emeralds</B> </div> <div> <B>SCFT-BTT4 Only need 3 chaos emeralds</B> </div> <div> <B>SCFT-B2T4 Only need 2 chaos emeralds</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGA-BL0N + A4GA-A28T Blue spheres worth 2</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGA-BR0N + A4GA-A28T Blue spheres worth 3</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGA-BW0N + A4GA-A28T Blue spheres worth 4</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGA-B00N + A4GA-A28T Blue spheres worth 5</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGA-B40N + A4GA-A28T Blue spheres worth 6</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGA-B80N + A4GA-A28T Blue spheres worth 7</B> </div> <div> <B>SCGA-BC0N + A4GA-A28T Blue spheres worth 8</B> </div> <div> <B>ACGA-AA8T 1 Blue sphere needed for chaos emerald</B> </div> <div> <B>TAYA-CRB6 Bonus jump</B> </div> <div> <B>AAYA-CWB6 Super jump</B> </div> <div> <B>AAYA-C0B6 Mega-jump</B> </div> <div> <B>ATST-CA38 Never drown (must switch off for some spring-pad jumps)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <embed src="HTMLobj-100/s3angelisland1A.mid" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">  </B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
