  • Get it on an emulator. You can save and load your progress at any point you wont lose any lives and you can get all emeralds on the first try. Unless you load and try the emerald again but the game reads it as 1 try? :x lol

  • dude, dont diss super tails, and his badass flicky army of death!!

  • Sonic CD was another version of Sonic 2. There is no Super Sonic which really blows and the awesomeness of time traveling wears off quickly I beat it, once. Sonic 2 is the best in my opinion with Sonic 3 and Knuckles a close second. Sonic 2 has the best emerald stages and the levels get completely insane.

  • Hey TODAY is the 18th anniversary of Sonic 3!

  • sonic ova's okay but i hated the figth with metal sonic sure it was epic but we all know what happended to that version of sonic yep that was not game sonic it was ova sonic

  • Movies and shows aren't games. Who gives a shit.

  • WTF are you talking about? CD was underrated,everyone loves Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

    Everyone's favorite character is usually Shadow.

    Seriously,do you even know people or do you just talk with drunk guys online all day?

  • You can also play it on sonic mega collection for the gamecube, playable on the wii!

  • Knuckles fought mecha sonic at the end, not metal sonic. everyone confuses the sonic robots names.

  • I found the actors for the sonic movie hilarious, except for metal sonic.

  • Comment removed

  • As far as Classic Sonic voice actors go, I actually thought Martin Burke was the best(Even though I still liked Jaleel White). Jason is the best Modern Sonic voice actor.

  • @bashbro1able Jason got better over time but hey - Roger Craig Smith in not bad either!

  • i agree sonic 3 is the best

  • If I could sum up this game in one phrase it would be

    BARREL OF FUCKING DEATH

  • This is far and away my favorite Sonic Game; The inclusion of the Master Emerald (And Hyper Sonic with it), Knuckles, and the second set of stages made this an unforgettable experience. As a matter of fact, I have a remix of the Air Battery zone's music as a ringtone on my phone. I would replay the Death Egg Zones and Doomsday Zone over and over again.

    This gets my vote for #1 SEGA game every produced.

  • @vanimusgames yeah this game is better than super mario bros 3

  • you know nothing foul !

    this one of worst ang wrong reviews i ever see!

    PS:sorry about my english i'm from Brazil

    PSS:google translator socks!

  • i HATE sandopolis zone!

  • I grew up on this game. I love it.

  • He doesnt fight Metal Sonic he fights Mecha Sonic who transforms into Super Mecha Sonic you retard!

  • That's strange... the music for the Invincibility is different than the actual Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

  • Sonic didnt lose at Sonic Movie. Thats awesome. It lost it at Sonic 06, and gained back with Unleashed

  • I thought the voices in sonic the movie were cute

  • Wow a clip from the Angry Video Game Nerd TMNT Review.

  • but... sonic 3 and knuckles wasn't the introduction of knuckles. . .

  • I haven't seen one single person other than Screw Attack who thinks Sonic CD is the best Sonic game ever.In fact,I haven't seen one person that likes Sonic CD a bit =/

  • @SuperAwesomeTiago Sonic CD was amazing in concept and execution. I HATED "Sonic 1" because he couldn't spindash, there was no multiplayer co-op, the levels were tiny in comparison, less than appealing music, and it was just plain boring in comparison. Sonic 2 was Sonic in his most basic form. Sonic 3 & Knuckles is epic though. The replay value was astonishing in S3&K and SCD.

  • @Xilosphere You DO realize that it was Sonic's first game and that Sega didn't have a completely solid plan for him, right? Hating on the original because of its successor is about as pointless as hating on a Genesis game because of an Xbox game. I thought that Sonic 1 was pretty good for the blue blur's first adventure. But if you REALLY want a spin dash, then go play the crappy Sonic Genesis for GBA instead.

  • @Xilosphere Sonic CD? Replay Value? Are you kidding me once you've finished it there is not much you can do in it also Sonic 1 had better physics then Sonic CD! And Sonic 1 was the first game so dont be harsh on it!

  • @bardhi09 Are YOU kidding? Remember having to go through each level destroying the badnik machines in the 'past' so that you could unlock the 'good futures' of each zone... If that's not replay value then I'm Donald Duck..

    I spent hours trying exploring the zones looking for those machines just to experience a redesigned level along with new music. The physics definitely were not better by the way. Sonic 2 may have had better physics, but Sonic 1 still fails. I consider Sonic CD his first game.

  • @Xilosphere Sonic 1 didnt fail and it was an overall better designed game then Sonic CD! Also you could just get the time stones and call it a day(i know you dont get to see all of them but oh well)! But still that isnt that much of a replayability when comparing it to getting all the emeralds in Sonic 2 or lets not get me started on S3&K Where you have to get all 14 emeralds and the levels are so HUGE you literally replay it years later and then still find new secrets you didnt know of before!

  • @bardhi09 Seriously... I could show you an endless array of clever level design elements in Sonic CD. Have you played Collision Chaos recently? Compare that to Spring Yard.. No contest. I think the only reason people like Sonic 1 is because of nostalgia and the fact that it is technically the first console outing.

    I'm not lying to you when I say I never liked Sonic 1 when, I was 7 years old. It's boring, and the levels were far too simple, plus no spin! Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and S3&K are perfect.

  • @Xilosphere No game is perfect and actually Collision Chaos was a MESS! Only because im a skilled gamer i can get through it easily but i can see many many flaws and while Collision Chaos's Theme is more good to look at its like more vibrant and stuff overall Spring Yard was overall better designed!

  • @bardhi09 Define a mess in your book. Did you remember the areas in Collision Chaos where you had to build momentum on half pipes just to reach hidden areas and also the fact that the levels were designed to be back-tracked. It was meant for exploration, not just the "go forward, end" formula.

    Spring Yard's hidden areas were rather predictable and the level was far slower. Besides, since when is EASY the formula for a good game? I didn't mean "perfect" literally btw. It's a figure of speech.

  • @Xilosphere Like for example the moving bumpers in the air unless you've fukin mastered the physics you'll get stuck there if you wanna take the high road and what do you mean Sonic 1 had a lot of exploration too! And Collision Chaos was really predictable too also the badniks sucked god they were so pathetic! And its not that challenging either(Spring Yard is a bit harder)!

  • @bardhi09 Sonic 1 did not give any incentive to back-track other than to collect rings for a special zone... No matter what you say, a fact is a fact. And how the hell is Collision Chaos more predictable than the Spring Yard 'jump at wall, get inside' formula? Explain this.

    Also, didn't you just say "only because im a skilled gamer i can get through" Collision Chaos. You explicitly hinted that it was hard, and now you say Spring Yard was harder...? You don't know what you're talking about kid.

  • @Xilosphere No i said only becuz im a skilled gamer i can get through some of the awful level design such as the moving bumpers or dont get me started in some of the weird WTFTropes Metallic Madness had! But overall Spring Yard is harder and better designed and it doesnt feel cheap(like some CD Levels do!)

  • BTW 5:51 TO 6:11 you nicked that footage from ACESpark. lol!

  • S3&K is my favourite too! I hate sonic 3d and spinball and i never played adventure 1 or 2, advance or '06.

  • WTf his little birdies ONLY KILL EVERYTHING FOR YOU!!!!!

  • sonic Movie was awesome as hell i got it on my ipod and phone and psp. how can yo uhate sonic movie? its just like CD is that why you hate sonicCD???

    wtf you guys are fucked.

    but i agree on the s3&K being awesome.

    adventure sux.

  • sonic and knuckles was released a week after I was born! well, it's awesome no matter what.

  • Hey! Super Tails is the best >:(

  • @IwubMaiColettie That's right! His Flicky army of death can rape bosses!

  • Sonic CD is still my favorite. You can't speed run it like a normal Sonic game, but getting a good future and all the Time Stones adds a huge amount of depth, complexity, and exploration to the levels. The music and backgrounds are just stunningly beautiful. And Sonic 2 comes next for me, because of its unbelieveably unrelenting difficulty curve.

    The Sonic Movie gave Sonic a cooler personality than the games.

  • Same favorite sonic games.

  • I have this goame for my wii :D

  • No to nitpick, but I think Sonic 3 was released in February of '94. Just saying.

  • sonic and knuckles was my favourite

  • Sonic 3 and knuckles was my favorite too. I think most of the ppl that say Sonic 1 is the best just weren't THAT into sonic, and wanna be original.

  • what do you think of colours?

  • Sonics got it. Others don't.

  • im sure its a good movie but the dub is aweful. they should re-release it with the current voice actors.

  • @SpartanForgeWorld300 no they shouldn't. To be honest the voice fit the character fine i had no problem watching it as a kid. The current voice actors are good but they should most definitely leave that alone. Roy burke wasn't that bad. He got sonics cockiness and attitude down perfectly. Sure his voice isn't what we were used to as at the time you either were hearing Ryan Drummond or Jaleel White, but he was able to be his character so it didn't feel awkward listening to him.

  • i own the sonic movie.

  • i know the secret code to beat all SONIC GAMES EEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEE­EEEEEERRRRRRRRRR,jdiofhjjknvjk­bdjduhdufnjhnhvjbfjnguooialdkk­hwkwnfmefhudnjgnbufhf fhujdowkioh0iiw0r9355u8678i3j1­i4y949jirhittyhijfknbiojgirrj9­u32984u239jinfuehfru489u8rhnbf­gbjv jfhuirhurej3ith98u3j4hi3485589­320942959559kjngjirhtunjnguhtu­hthufuckfjeuitgvhufhq9jhghrigh­ifjinfugugrehjdughrtuighofheui­ghuhru got it?

  • Sonic CD is my all time favorite 2-D Sonic game :)

  • the ending of Sonic and Knuckles was pretty epic!

  • metal sonic has been in a couple of newer sonic games. he was in 2 player in sa2b (but i dont really count that) and he was in sonic heros as part of the plot

  • Wow. Just wow. I spent my childhood playing Sonic 1 through 3 and trying to find some cheat codes on my own, like how to play with Knuckles. And that battle at the end is nothing short of epic. I feel like if I had that game instead of regular Sonic 3, my childhood would be a bit more complete. Time to finish some business started years ago.

  • Pretty good review once it actually gets going...unfortunately that does not happen until nearly 2 minutes into the video. I agree with nearly everything you said however, why were you collecting the blue spheres like that? Why not go around the outside of the square and do it faster (and easier too :P)

  • I got sonic 3 and Knuckles for pc for 50p and sonic 3 and sonic and Knuckles

  • Great, make MORE

  • 3:41 thats just sonic 3

  • I find the voices for the sonic movie to be exusable foir this reason:

    The only other voice that really existed for Sonic at that time was in AoStH, and though they didn't sound too similar, they both sounded like how Sonic COULD have sounded. So while the voices don't fit, they DID fit.

  • Holy hell! I just noticed that in the Sonic Movie, Sonic sounds just like Eric Cartman from South Park!

  • i think sonic x was far far far worse than sonic movie i actually liked the voice acting...keep in mind,sonics voice was kinda like that in old tv shows...so the voice acting wasnt that much strange in that time...

  • AGREE

  • 8 people like Sonic CD.

  • Tails was my favorite becuz he ran just as fast as Sonic, but than he could fly too.

  • holy shit...you're right. Most Genesis games DO revolve around running to the right!

  • its RARE to find someone who likes the main charactar first...? ummm try me! XD but i still love Knuckles first.

  • dont u mean eggman told knuckles that sonic and tails were after the master emerald? and its mecha sonic :P

  • sonic is dead :( he died in late 90's

  • Knuckles flying in the movie and the whole emotional bleh at the end ruined the movie.

  • i loved debug mode good memory's

  • They should re release it for the new consoles, I know the PS2 and XBOX had Sonic mega collection plus, but Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles aren't in one.

  • @TheDoomPig I stand corrected, I just unlocked it LOL...

  • I didn't think the Sonic Movie was bad. I thought the Hedgehog lost his charm after the Dreamcast casted its white flag.

  • sonic the movie its awsome!(japanese version and dub version)

  • My sonic3 & knuckles wont work because when ever I play all it dose is show eggman sonic tails knuckles and it says No way

  • I love the sonic movie!

    I love the voices for the characters.

  • man ... i remember playing this all day when i was 4 till 6. then i changed my computer :( and now , i finally got it again!!!! yea!

  • I have sonic 3 and knuckles on my DS because of the game sonic classic collection

  • Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the best

    Then Sonic 2

    Then Sonic CD

    Then Sonic

    The the Sonic Adventure series.

    The rest are balls.

  • @Disturbed928 the rest are NIGGAS !XD

  • sorry but it was actually Mecha Sonic that Knuckles fights, the same but updated version of the second to last boss in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Metal Sonic, however, was a completely different character, making his first appearance in Sonic CD, and being reprised in Sonic R and Sonic Adventure 2.

  • Sonic 3 &knuckles is my fafourite Sonic game too! But Sonic the movie is awesome!

  • Good review! :-D

  • i LOVE THIS GAME!!

  • U forgot hyper tails ):

  • @BillyandBoby you cant get Hyper tails. Super Tails is accessible with the Super Emeralds, but you cannot transform as Tails with just the Chaos Emeralds

  • @jmiester25 in the prototype verson you can just it up on google

  • @Chris80510 ah word. i'll have to check it out

  • i think sonic lost it is when the sonic drift series

  • the sonic movie was actualy gud im my opinion i liked it

  • this is my fav. also

  • dont forget hyper sonic hyper knuckles and super tails

  • never mind

  • sonic 3 was fun but hard bonus stages

  • who the hell says sonic cd is the best? never heard any1 say that in my life its always either sonic 2 or sonic 3 & knuckles

  • @ja2829 screwattack,go see it here and type screwattack top 10 worst and best sonic games ma homie boy

  • @MultiDrJekyll ok will do thanks :P

  • SONIC ADV. 2 FOR THE WIIIIIIIN!

  • NOTE: the birds that super tails uses are called flickys. You can notice that they also go super because when tails goes back to normal they turn back to blue. Flickys are also the animals that sonic saves when he destroys a robot

  • I liked this review a ton. Sonic 3 and Knuckles is also my favorite Sonic game. (My favorite game of all time, infact.) Also, Sonic Adventure 2 is my 2n favorite game of all time, as well. I also think sonic CD is overrated. It's design isn't smooth and it's far too easy. Also, I think Sonic is kinda like Megaman. Why? Because, like Megaman, Sonic has been making some garbage lately, but like Megaman, he comes out with good stuff every now and then.

  • @GOLDsonic105  They're both blue, their archenemies are both mad scientists who work with robots...hmm are there other similarities?

  • When you talked about the Sonic movie having bad sounds, welll that was really just the eraly days of sonic, it's what you'd expect. It's just like when Mario used to actually be able to talk pure English.

  • Nice review! I think you just talking about why you love the game works quite well actually.

  • Good review guy. I enjoyed it, you did Sonic 3 and Knuckles justice. I noticed though how you put in a clip of Sonic 3 alone in there. Make sure to check out Sonic 4 when it comes out, later!

  • Thanks a bunch. That actually means a lot.

    And yeah, I'm excited about Sonic 4.

    Sega's finally doing something right

  • i think the voices of the movie where ok, but robotnik sounded better in the film

  • @Spiral1287 exactly they r doing something right! i dunno why but i get insanely angry whn people see a new animation in the tralier of the leaked underground minecart level and they are like "this has ruined the game for me". ***Holes aint even played the game yet the miserable gits already hate it. the game looks awesome cant wait for it, sega hav actually listened to the fans for the first time in 15 years

  • I've played SONIC IV off the PSN iot's fun as hell!!

  • @KolerikRocks

    you gotta admit that the music is pretty crappy though.  and the camera is zoomed in too much. i dunno it doesn't seem like a real successor to sonic 3 and knuckles.

  • @Spiral1287 Go watch the Japanese Version of the Movie also Sonic Movie is way better then that piece of shit Sonic X in fukin realistic settings and with that whiny piece of shit Chris! And also the voice actors for the Sonic Movie are better then 4Kids no matter how bad they may seem to you thats fact!

  • @MajBlood Where was the sonic 3 clip? How could you tell?

  • @IwubMaiColettie Oy asking me something like that a year later. I had to rewatch the vid. Well one part is the clip he shows of the midboss in carnival night zone. You can tell since the music for Sonic 3 midbosses is playing. The most obvious part is Sonic fighting the boss of Launch Base Zone, which is not even in Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

  • @MajBlood um... lol srry, I didn't look at the post time

  • @IwubMaiColettie It's not a problem. Glad I can help.

  • @MajBlood 1 year later=Sonic 4 Sucks!

  • @bardhi09 Yeh what a disappointment. 

  • @MajBlood Sonic Generations Classic Sonic Levels is atleast what Sonic 4 should of been!

  • @bardhi09 Eh it does look better than Sonic 4 but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. 

  • @MajBlood I said "AT LEAST" i know the Classic Sections dont have the perfect physics in Generations! But so far i've been impressed with Sega on Sonic Generations did you see the City Escape Classic Gameplay vid it was awesome!

  • @bardhi09 Yeh it does look really fun but Sonic 4 made me a skeptic, sorry. It is easy for a game to look like the Genesis games but you can't really know 100% until you've played it.

  • @MajBlood I knew that it was gonna suck as soon as i saw the leaked footage i can spot the physics differences in videos! Also that awful Dimps-esque level design(i think you know what im talking about)!

  • @bardhi09 And you don't think the physics looks a little off in Sonic Generations? Uncurling is back for one.

  • @MajBlood They arent perfect as i said and they're the closest physics from the classic we've got since Advance 1 also there is no uncurling in the PS3/360 version check the latest gameplay footage! There is however Sonic 4 physics and uncurling in the 3DS version!

  • @bardhi09 I can't see why Dimps can suck so much now when they did a Genesis feeling game for Sonic Advance 1. Anyways glad to hear it about Sonic Generations. Though did you see the leaked stage list? There are only three Genesis levels. And only eight levels total.

  • @MajBlood The list is not finished yet and i hope thats not the case! Well Dimps has been sucking since Advance 2(Physics wise) although advance 2 and 3 were OK! Their downfall was the Rush Titles and now they just suck they should be fired already!

  • @bardhi09 Yeh Sonic Advance 2 didn't play like the Genesis games but at least it was fun. The leaked list could be wrong, but it has successfully predicted 3 of the confirmed stages. Do you want me to spoil it for you?

  • @MajBlood Naaaaah i saw the list!

  • This is my favorite Sonic game too!

    I really can't understand why people call Sonic CD the greatest Sonic game!

    I know everyone is entightled to their opinion, and I have tried on several times to play this game, but all the tings people praise it for are just....... ok!

    I like the anime intro and ending, the music is ok, I guess (I still prefer the music in Sonic 3) but the whole game just doesn't give me the same sense of enjoyment as S3&K does!

  • @Bowmaj21 acaully sonic cd has two soundtracks japanese verson and the american verson

  • You're pretty bad at this game, not gonna lie. -.-

    Tip: When you do the Special Stage, get all the spheres on the outside and then they will all turn into rings, if you get all the rings then you get an extra life/continue.

  • Hyper knuckles looks just like hyper sonic and his special ability is that he makes earth quakes when he hits walls. Super tails IS cool because his birds attack enemies automatically and he flies longer.

  • AVGN lol

  • IS THIS A GAME?!is it

  • i also think S3&K is the best Sonic game ever

  • How do you play this game as Knuckles? Do you have to beat the game with sonic first?

  • fail. u need the sonic and knuckles cartage. It lox on to Sonic 3. look it up

  • Wtf is a cartage and lox???

  • *smacks forehead* God you XBox 360 and Playstation marks give long time gamers a bad name. Try playing an old school system

  • ok.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Don't lump Me in with them I know about the older systems I may play it on the newer ones but this is still one of My favorite games despite the fact I didn't play the complete version as its shown here until I got it on PC(though I play it on the GNC version of Mega Collection these days but might still get it for Wii's VC even if it means downloading extra games because I want to be able to start where I left off in S3&K in a complete game as if I never stopped).

  • Hey! If you have Mega Collection, then you can unlock Sonic 3 and Knuckles. No need to buy from the Virtual Console.

  • Well I do have My reasons since I don't want to have to deal with the memory card getting corrupted and also I kind of want to keep My score since I love how high it goes up since S3&K is such a long game (well for it's time it was) and because if the lock on games save in the middle of playing in the middle of an act I can be free to turn My Wii off and not have to start a Zone from the very beginning after I turn the game off (like if I'm really far into act 2 of a long zone and then *2bcont.

  • (like if I'm really far into act 2 of a long zone or almost past a hard one and then have to turn the game off) and I don't want to keep My Wii on for a long peroid of time when I have to go somewhere like one time when My family went to our church's Saturday service. You know that isn't good to keep a console on running on pause like that.

  • @Thenumber1yoshi I guess I see your point. My main reasons afterward would be financial. :-)

    But I can see why you'd like the VC version.

  • my favorite sonic game is sonic mega collection becuase it has sonic 3 and knuckles and a load other sonic games

  • when you get all 7 Super Emeralds with Tails, then he morphs into Super Tails, which is just him with a whole bunch of flickies around him

  • Super Tails is also faster, flies and swims faster and is invincble. The Flickies also attack enemies and bosses for you

  • Comment removed

  • We are in agreement about this game being the best in the series.

    Most people say Sonic 2. But I totally disagree.

    However we're in DISagreement about Sonic Adventure 2. That is where I think it started to go down hill at super sonic speed. And it's mostly because of that emo-shadow the hedgehog. Although Rouge isn't cool either. And confining Tails to that stupid power chair was annoying as heck. And thats the game the camera angles started to work against the game itself.

  • Sonic Heroes is extremely underrated and the last good Sonic game. It's closer to the originals than SA1 and 2 were gameplay wise, had good graphics and felt the most liek a true 3D Sonic game (every stage was similar to a level from a 2D Sonic game. It's all about 3D highspeed platforming and is the best 3D Sonic game IMO

  • nice review thanks!

  • What video did that AVGN clip come from?

  • Ninja Turtles review

  • but i like the voices seriously that voice kinda suits him

  • Why does it seem that most people review Sonic 3 and Knuckles rather than just Sonic 3?

  • Because the two games are really not supposed to be two games, as he said in the review they were intended to be one but due to one reason or another they had to end it at Launch base in Sonic 3 and turn Sonic & Knuckles into a Lock on cart to be able to play through it as a complete game.I mean I'm sure you notice Launch Base is different in Sonic's story in S3&K.I guess S3&K is reviewed more than Sonic 3 is because people feel the lock on game was what it was intended to be.

  • And also I don't know about you but I can hardly find any reviews of Sonic 3 & Knuckles (at least not in English) I can't find too many written ones. If you can may i see all the ones you run into because I hardly see any. Anyways Sonic 3 & Knuckles (together) is one of My favorite Sonic games because of how long it is, its My favorite of the classic Sonic titles and I didn't even play S3&K in its completed form until Jack in the box was giving it away on PC.I Play it mega Collection now .

  • i played Sonic 3 & Knuckles i beated every player exept sonic but im betting there

  • lol avgn

  • I thought the movie was good, and pretty damn funny.

  • 1. SK3=EPIC, I nearly failed 5th grade spelling and 6th grade English because I couldn't stop playing this on my Sega Nomad!

    2. Lay off on the movie a little, they were trying to sell it to kids that's why the dubbing is so ridiculously bad. But yeah, it could've been better.
