These are a lot of fun to use and they let you take a hit before you lose your rings. 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. Now Mario can no longer judge Sonic for a lack of power-ups as Sonic has some of his own. The biggest difference in the gameplay is the power-ups. 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. There are some new things added to the game. Sonic controls just like he always has done. So yes, you can get through the game fairly quickly, but the fact is this game is amazing from start to end. 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. 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. The biggest complaint that most people and myself have about this game is the length. 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! There has always been the rumor that Michael Jackson had something to do with this.

If I had to pick a favorite soundtrack from the Sonic series hands down it would be Sonic the Hedgehog 3. While we all know that the tunes from the first game are classics. The soundtrack is amazing as you would expect from a Sonic game. Each section of the game has its own theme and style. From the lush jungles of Angel Island to the wackiness of Carnival Zone to the breathtakingly cold Ice Cap Zone. Each of the zones has its own style, but the amount of details and scope of each one is amazing. 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.
The visuals of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 are some of the best that the Genesis has to offer. It is crazy stuff and things just feel much “larger” in scale than in the previous Sonic games. 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. You see to get the complete experience you need Sonic & Knuckles as well. The palette rules were cited as an example, but there's a lot more going on than obviously just that - for example, two of the Bonus Stages belong to the Sonic & Knuckles since that's where they were properly used first, and only appear in Sonic 3's portion of the lock-on game precisely because of the lock-on.Talking about the “story” of this game is rather hard. The long and short of it is this: the two games may be graphically coherent, but because they were released separately, it's logical to keep them separate, and in doing so helps with keeping the content organised as you can see it. I'm guessing you've not seen the Flash Cycle palettes on my current sheets for Mushroom Hill, Lava Reef, Sky Sanctuary, Doomsday and Mecha Sonic? And just because there's no underwater over in Sonic & Knuckles, doesn't mean "there's less palettes". Same applies to his Super form and his Hyper form. The general palette used in Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles are one and the same. There's no such thing as "Sonic (S&K Palette)".
