Double Ring in Angel Island Zone 1 (Sonic 3 & Knuckles)

[DerangedHermit]

0:02 and the number 26 have both been kidnapped by Eggman.

[WildDogShadow]

Nice find! I've played this game almost 3,762 times, and never notices.

I just notice "Hey, I can get a Chaos Emerald now!

[za909]

It's very simple, they put 2 rings pixel perfectly to the same place so they completely overlap eachother

[jamessonic5621]

In soviet mobius, 26 means nothing.

[ShadikX]

double ring all the wayyy oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[1Sandwitch1]

ya...it skips "one" big deal.

[EEEE1110lol]

you used the lock on huh

[sonic01greenhillzone]

I remember the first time I got this game. I was just exploring around and found this. obviously there was no YouTube at the time.

[SonicVaan]

@kalennate101two And I was referring to the rest of his videos.

[SonicVaan]

@kalennate101two Yeah, do your homework.

[myteethareshiny]

For that ring, I will give you all of my dollars!

[luigibarqs]

wasn't aware of this, then again it isn't much of a big deal, its not exactly game breaking.

[sonicmaster110022]

in sonic 3 too!

[KurosanNitebird]

*mind blown*

[Constromlie]

Oh crap I posts the below comment just to realize someone below mentioned it already O____O

[Constromlie]

There are two rings like this in Emerald Hill Zone in Sonic 2 on top of one of the loops in act 2.

[foxskywalker64]

In Angel Island, 27 comes after 25!

[rd649]

@foxskywalker64 then that means they count stupid

[TreyRust]

when they where making the game they probably put two there by accident and did not notice this... cool though :D

[t2thefox]

The top of the last loop in Emerald Hill Zone Act 2 in Sonic 2 has something similar. If I remember right, two of the rings in the right ring pyramid on top of the loop are worth 2 rings.

[Barnix005]

wow, an easter egg :O

[FaultyWin]

Hmmm... It could be a joke put in purpose by the sonic team.

[wilddey]

that or the developers at sega could not count

[ESPIOBOY]

wow thats cool twice the rings extra lives quicker

[secretsupersonic]

wow cool xD

[DAMASTERDATTAKINUDWN]

epic WIN

[minipurple52]

24...25...27..28=WIN! Really cool glitch. Love your videos. Keep em' posting nineko!

[Kn0p3XX]

Nice one dude

[DivisibleByWaffle]

Is it also present in Sonic 3 alone?

[nineko]

Yes.

[trivia202003]

There is a Double Ring in Lava Reef Zone Act 1.

[SonicVaan]

Hah! You're really good at S3K findings :P

[RandomAvatarFan]

hmm...I have to check that out.  I hope my sonic 3 cartridge still works after the game genieing I did to it

[Oerg866]

RAM/Temp. ROM modification doesn't harm cartridges, sir.

[ArcanisSolanum]

I knew it! I did wonder if this was actually just my ROM, but now I know it isn't. I didn't think to check in SonEd ^^;

[Blackcanoflysol]

I immediately had to go check that out, that's a pretty interesting find.

As far is glitch vs error, it's probably just a mistake on the behalf of the level designers. They placed the ring sprite twice, and the identical placement hid the double layered ring and it was looked over.

[nathanpitones]

Glitch? Mistake? What could it be?

[Chromethehedgehog]

Looks like some one forgot to make sure that there were no extra rings in Angel Island.

[segasonic623]

That's really amazing.

[rocketgem79]

i bet it's an easter egg :P

[IsaacNorman]

weird. glitch? or a programming error? could be both.

[SamuraiClinton]

Probably some level design glitch.

[Saestrol]

Huh... I NEVER noticed that.

Makes me wonder if there are any more like that.
