  • As Knuckles, you don't have to fight Robotnik at the end. All there is is the whatchamacallit at the end of the level.

    At least I wasn't the only one who couldn't figure out that the answer is up and down the most easiest thing to do. I thought it was more complex or whatever:(

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • how did he make sonic jump on his own?

  • I FUCKING HATE THIS LEVEL!!!!!!!

  • i to came to this video cause i got stuck at that barrel. i don't ever remember having a problem beating this game when i was kid. i bought this fucking game 2 years ago and haven't beat it

  • I hated this place when i saw the barrel I thought you had to jump at the right time thunbs up if this is what you thought....

  • looks like i wasn't the only one stuck with that god damn barrell

  • wtf when I went up at 8:14 it killed me XD

  • Seriously, how the fuck was somebody supposed to know that to get passed the barrel, you had to just press Up and Down on the Cintrol Pad?? Easy shit like this pisses me off!!

  • For so many years in my life I lost so many lives from time over because of that god damn barrel! Now that I know how to beat, I have beaten the game for the first time in so many years

  • I literally "time over"'ed like 5 times on that goddamn barrel because I was trying to use the force of my jumps to make it go down. <_<

  • I've been trying to jump on the fucking barrel. I get REALLY close to getting it...

  • Are you kidding me? I couldn't get pass that barrel either? I try to press left and right and still couln't get pass this part. So, all I really have to do now is press the Smurfing UP and DOWN.

  • That object you jump on at 2:04. I didn't know how to use it well. I keep jumping on it, expecting it to make me jump higher or go pass this stage in this game. I wasn't that good in Sonic the Hedgehog 1,2, and 3, and Sonic and Knuckles games. I always lose my rings, get a couple of game overs, and start the level all over again. Oh, by the way. How the heck did you get 27 lives in level 4 stage 2? I only got the beginner amount of lives. Thanks, for the video. :)

  • wow I didn't know that barrel was so well known for it's pure evil! I can't believe I founf out how to do it on the first go xD I did die once though because my time elapsed

  • @SilverLuna07 besides the "getting it on the first try part" me too

  • Holy shit, i cant believe the barrel is that easy!!! Nice!

  • After all these years, I never knew how to pass act 2 of this stage...but now, I finally know how to pass that part!! I feel dumb...

  • Dude i freaking got the ds version and i cant get passed the part when u turn the power back on and u gotta jump on this spinnig thing and idk wtfh to do!

  • ok me and my brother where like 6 or 7 and we were trying to beat this level with the barrel in the way we could not figure it out for the life of us so we just said hey is there cheats for this game and there was so we used the debug cheat to get past it but ALL WE HAD TO FREAKING DO WAS FUCKING PRESS UP AND DOWN !!!!!!! omg i feel like a stupid moron thanx to these comments i know wat to fucking do

  • Like most people here I am here to comment on the BARREL.

    Back in the day I never knew that up & down was the way to get down there. I kept jumping on it and hoped I could get a gap big enough like at 6:18. I'd have to be quick though or it would close in an instant. Tedious and frustrating it was!

  • im with everyone else took me 15 years and youtube to figure how to pass the F@#Kn barrel lmao

  • this piece of shit barrel kept me from beating this game throughout all of my childhood!!!

  • The stupid Barrel!! OMG!!! LoL

    Only Up and Dawn, this zone is a how a badass...

  • WHAT?! ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PRESS UP AND DOWN?! UP AND DOWN?! WHAT THE FU-TIME OvEr

  • 6:15. I'm stuck on this scene. *Sighs*

    I can't seem to get the red thingy to go all the way down. How to do it?

    This is my very first time playing Sonic 3.

    Got it for my birthday.

  • i comepletely agree, when i was a child i never got past that barrel. i was stuck forever, i could never get past. i just beat sonic 3 & knuckles with all 14 emeralds for the first time and im 23 years old now. haha. as long as other people got stuck as well i dont feel all that bad.

  • @backend0ff0rever im with you dude i was stuck in my childhood too god it was so fucking annoying i just found out how to do it but now i feel so fucking retarded

  • i always got stuck on that level

  • I see by reading the comments that I'm not the only one who has caught h*ll at the spinning barrels (2:19 for example). Great video Cogontheweb. :)

  • Here's how to defeat the Barrel of Doom with Sonic & Tails together in Carnival Night Zone Act 2 in Sonic 3:

    The only way to proceed is to always press Up and Down on the D-Pad button repeatedly to reach the bottom while standing on the red-&-white spinning barrel just until it goes totally low enough for Sonic & Tails together to go jump right off at the bottom, which is very easy as 1, 2, 3.

  • I need to add in on that stupid barrel it took me like an hour of hoping with tails before finally a fluke happened and I was able to pass this guy just sits on it and it goes lower and lower X_X

  • I still can't get pass the barrel what do I do?

  • @MrMetroid1998

    watch sonic shorts

  • The barrel was made by Chuck Norris....To confuse the hell out of gamers everywhere.When I first came into contact with that barrel it took me 4 days to figure out how to get passed it and by the 5th day I had to return it to Blockbusters...XD Ah the good old days of the 90's and my Genesis

  • HOW THE FUCK U DO THAT BAREL XD

  • Jesus H man, I spent so much time trying to get past the F**king barrel as a kid. Who knew it was so simple -this ended up being my least favorite Sonic game as a result.

  • @phoenixicarus same here! Thanks to this video i can finally beat it. I only beat number 3 with knuckles cuz u can go a different way :\

  • Jesus H man, I spent so much time trying to get past the F**king barrel as a kid. Who knew it was so simple -this ended up being my least favorite Sonic game as a result.

  • @elegalams НИХУЯ!

  • I hate that barrel because I can't go past it

  • THAT FUCKING BARREL. ZOMGS.

  • I passed it by accident after being pissed for weeks lol. Damn barrel

  • thanks

  • This game is such a clusterfuck.

  • WHAT?! just stand there and do nothing?! THAT'S how to get past that barrel?! goddamnit!

  • @keniakittykat

    No. Actually it's:

    Jump in the middle, then with the D-pad press up and down to divide the weight over the barrel and let the barrel 'sink' down. :)

  • @Bram25 yeah i figured that out 30 seconds after i posted that comment xD

  • @Bram25 THANKYOU. If not for that comment, I would've never gotten past that damned barrel D: I am forever in your debt *BOWS*

  • finally someone to help me. i hate that barrel with all of my soul and heart. i am not ashamed to say that when i tried to pass that part i was 11 and now im 22 and just passed it today. Sega did a number when they made that level.

  • how do you get yellow sonic

  • 6:15

    No other moment in Sonic history was as pure evil as when you come face-to-face with that barrel...

  • @Goji73

    I searched up this video for the sole purpose of seeing that barrel at 6:15

    I logged in for the sole purpose of commenting on this barrel.

    That barrel kept me from beating the game for over 2 YEARS!

  • @leafbrazuca ME TOO >:O

  • @leafbrazuca Me too! Except the barrel kept me from getting past for about 30 minutes.

  • @leafbrazuca Me too!I was sooooo freakin stucked!!

  • UGH STUPID BARREL PART! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I AM DONE WITH THIS GAME. JUST DONE! I'M NEVER PLAYING IT AGAIN UNTIL I AM NOT DUMB AT THESE GAMES! (Oh wait, That day is never coming, So i guess it will give up...) UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UGH

  • Jeez i thought i was the only one who'd problems with that stupid tyre! Took me YEARS to get past it and i did it by chance one day. Up and down. UP AND DOWN?! Stupid.

  • @RolaOla i know what you mean it took me weeks to figure out how to get through it the only way i did it is by having a friend of mine play as tails and make the barrel go up and down while i do a spin ball and go under the barrel once it got all the way up now the bad part is that i dont know how to get through it with out a partner

  • How do you expect a excited 9yr old kid to get pass this level knowing that the fucking barrell was there!!! Instructions you bastards!!! LOL whats the funny part they probably did put instructions in the manual but when you 1st got that cartridge all you want to do is put it in and play!!!!

  • that...fucking...barrel...

  • 6:14

    this fucking part!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, i mad. thumbs up mad with this part.

  • hahahahah XD i was strugling the damn barrel part for 2 min and i got it hahahah XD i was 7 i pressed watever until i pressed up n dwn repeat! hahaha XD

  • WTF @ the barrel, i played this game at maybe 6 or 7? and i probably restarted more than 10 times from TIMES UP at that place -_-

  • Age 6-8 .. never knew how to get through that damn barrel. I always just would wing it for hours and finally get it by accident, then in 2006 at age 17 I found out what you actually had to do and damn did I feel stupid as hell. Great..greeeaaat game.

  • @ITIMBERLANDI just press up then down then up and so on... very easy if you know how to do it ;D

  • @TheEffectGirl omfg. I remember when I was a kid I timed out at least twice trying to get past that barrel by timing my jumps..... damn that was frustrating.

  • @sightemi me too!!! but more than twice... -.- i tried untill i finally made it! it was so frustrating to know you just had to press up and down...

  • This is my favorite Carnival/Casino level because it's an actual level that isn't bound with stupid pinball tables.

  • BULLSHIT, i couldn't finish this game with sonic or tails.

    knuckles had a different route so i got past this crap using him.

  • thank you i was stuck for ever got this game on x-box 360

  • how did you make the barril move up and down with out jumping im still stuck.

  • i hate that barrel 2

  • Oh for fuck sake...

  • how did u made the barrel go down without moving?!?

  • Im nodding my head to that music.

  • when I was little (about 6 or 7), I could pass easily by the barrel. Nowadays, when I got this game for GameCube, I got stuck there because I couldn't remember how to pass. lol

  • come on! was it really THAT EASY TO PASS IT. I FEEL SO DUMB

  • questions: how to get 300000 points and 27 lives in 1 play???

    and how to get past the stupid barrel???

  • @ThundraShot

    You just wait.

    *chugs beer*

    What a piece of shit.

  • Omg I remember this part from when I was like seven :D every time I would try to beat the damn game I got stuck on this stupid barrel. I though you just had to jump hard enough on the damn thing. I wasted sooooooo much time and this is all you had to do.

  • I hate that barrel!!!!

  • Lol thanks for the reminder. Me and my older bro played this back in the day on our sega genesis and we HATED the infamous "BARREL FROM HELL". Now that he's older I decided to get the anniversary collection for DS. Thanks again for the help. Lol just a lil history, my older bro was always sonic and I was always tails ^^

  • damn that barrel part!

  • Stupid barrel!

  • why woundt it tell you that you could do that.. bs

  • stupid fucking asshole barrel! how the hell are you supposed to know how to do that 

  • @scumbuddy because its easy

  • How to do the barrel!

    (Like this loads of times so people don't need to search

    Jump on the barrel, then press down as it goes down, then press up as it goes up. Then down and up etc till you can reach the bit under it!

  • @mariotaz Goddamn that barrel and thank you for helping me,I feel kinda stupid now but I'm just happy to be able to continue the game lol

  • do you need tails

  • so wait does this mean u need tails :S

  • I FINALLY PASTED THE STUPID BARREL!!!!!!

  • I managed to get past the barrel bit (6:16-6:39), but I don't really know how?! It took me ages to get past that barrel. I remember whilst jumping on top of the barrel seeing tails get caught inside the wall on the right of the screen and then somehow a few minutes later by constantly jumping on the barrel (with the water shield) I managed to fall through the bottom of the barrel, only to land on the barrel below it. A glitch maybe?

  • How did you do that?!?! 6:31 !!!

  • We did it, just don't ask how, and or how many tries -_-

  • OMG i remenber this part when i was a kid i had the hardest time lol

  • IT AINT TOO MUCH FOR ME TO JAM!

  • I thought you were suppost to time jumps on it o_o

    I hate that barrel so badly

  • Pressing up and down doesn't work for me for some reason :s mines the version on Xbox 360.

  • THAT BARREL! I didn't have the internet back then, there was no way to figure it out.

    It turns out the answer was to simply manipulate gravity....The last thing I expected...

    That ruined a perfectly good game for me.

  • omg it was only by pressing up and down!!!!!!!!

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­U

  • 6:17 help??

  • LOL. I glitched the game just to get through that part when I played it. Used the bouncing bubble fast and then I was somehow squeezed through the wall. I managed to get through with Tails once the hard way. Since the bubbletrick didnt work I jumped up and down until I could pass through. It was really difficult and I used alot of time on it.

    Guess I'll fire up the mega drive and play it once more. This time the easy way :)

  • @guadabuoy i did the samething lol

  • LMAO!!!

    Everyone got this part wrong.

    I was stuck on this for ever!

  • WOW PRESS UP AND DOWN damn i got owned

  • wow same here. i was like 6 yrs old and i just couldn't figure that out. 14 years later i find out thats all you have to do. lol i beat the game but i cheated and just used knuckles to get past that lol
