Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Unused Surfboard Intro

[chibifox42]

Someone needs to make a hack specifically to put that in as well as one for tails alone

[tails230]

@chibifox42 With Tails, I can see him flying onto the island and landing.

[chibifox42]

@tails230 Yeah, that could work. Or it could also state why Tails is going in alone. Like, um, Tails was flying next to Sonic (Who was surfing at the time) when BAM! Knuckles flies in and pushes him off of the surfboard! Tails lands on the island and sees Knuckles kidnapping Sonic. And then you have a nice little sub-plot.

[MrBrunox14]

this is what would happen if did sonic not get the chaos emeralds in sonic 2

[supermarioterdman]

this is what it should of been when you were just sonic

[superzetrex]

who here thinks this should have been the intro if you chose to be just sonic

[isamuokashii]

damn sega, why didn't you use that one? you made super sonic's "invincibility" seem weak enough for knuckels to punch through it

[pegorino1000]

damn you sega for not adding the surfing intro

[SonicPsycho]

I like this idea a lot, but surfing Sonic looks too big to the regular sprites. Also I can see that they used Sonic's head from Sonic 2 for a little bit, which looks too different from Sonic in Sonic 3's head.

Generally, it would have been a lot cooler if they had went with this.

[SegaMario]

Still missing a couple of sprites at the ending...

[BeanManIncorporated]

Ahh that is tight.

[hyperspeed03]

It would be fucking badass if they used this in the final version. Ah well. :D

[DAYD111]

How the hell can Knuckles hit Super Sonic? He's invincible... that makes no sense.

[Christianrockrockz]

@DAYD111 Sonic hadn't used Super Sonic for very long and it was still new to him. Knuckles got a suprise attack in. Sonic learns to control Super Sonic seeing as how now he just loses rings in Super Sonic form (sometimes).

[DAYD111]

@Christianrockrockz

Is that just a theory or something? Because I never heard of it. But that does sound pretty legit though.

[Christianrockrockz]

@DAYD111 It's just what some people think. There never was a real explanation by Sega or anything.

[Izovtobbelltv]

What ProActionReplay code (xxxxxx:yyyy) to use to activate this intro???

[k4den66]

This should have been the intro if you played as Sonic alone.

[DHAZEDXZ]

Personally I kinda wished SEGA kept the Sonic 2 look for Sonic. He looks better in my opinion. And I totally wished they used this intro hahaha

[Supermario546]

cool

[superzetrex]

they should have used this if you only chose sonic as your character

[Alex2121098]

that other one should be unused this should be used WHO AGREES WITH ME....noone? oh well... ! this intro should be after you get all the chaos emeralds

[HyperSonic135]

SONIC 2 SPRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FashionistoIRE]

I wonder was this before Knuckles? it must have been very early in the development considering even in Sonic 3 Knuckles path's are somewhat there.

[TheEzgraficxs]

It's unused because knuckles knocks the emeralds out of super sonic

[animegamingdude]

@TheEzgraficxs he still could have knocked the emeralds out of regular Sonic.

[EMANUELsonic]

this is sonic 3 BETA, y played this game.

[durece100]

That's cool man!

[SOnicpower451]

I prefer this version. The final one makes SUper Sonic look weak.

[DrIvoRobotnick]

@SOnicpower451

Well I like that it makes Knuckles look like a bad ass.

[sonicmonkey232]

@SOnicpower451 the one with super sonic is proof that no one can beat the power packed fists of knuckles!

[Alex2121098]

@SOnicpower451 agreed

[Mario2Master]

@SOnicpower451 Well, in the published version, super sonic was hit in the stomach, (which would hurt anyone) and knuckles is pretty strong, being able to climb walls

[Scarredgraymouse]

what no knuckles? WHAT? WHHHAAAAAT?

[mclarenguy22]

No Knuckles?

[LabyrinthZonesurf]

But the sprites used for the surfboard were Sonic 2-styled. . . Why all of the sudden were there Sonic 3-styled sprites? :?

[AstarProductions17]

@LabyrinthZonesurf they probaly didnt finish the sprites yet

[nman272]

@LabyrinthZonesurf

lol. Must have evolved when he ran through the forest.

[JAYWALKERS3000]

owo that would be beast if they added it :0

[Nonjola]

Kann mich nicht entscheiden, sind beides coole Openings.

[Bastisegdeejay]

Oha, cool. Sega hätte doch zwei Openings einbauen können :D
