I have a confession. I never beat Sonic 3 all the wasy through. I have beaten Sonic and Knuckles and just about every other Sonic game ever released, but in Sonic 3 there is this one part in Carnival Night Zone: Act 2...
When you get to the barrel thing in the picture, you are suppost to push up and down rythmically. It only took me 13 YEARS TO FIGURE IT OUT!!!! Instead of making it look like an elevator or putting an up and down sign on it, it looks like a drum and (like everything else in the game) you should just jump or spin dash it.
Well yesterday I finally decided to play Sonic 3 all the way through. When I got to Carnival Night Zone I made it pass the stupid barrel BUT then I got stuck in the wall. I thought maybe it was a glitch from the NOT emulator so I reset and stzarted again. The same thing happened in a diffrent spot. Twice in a row I got stuck in a wall and after 13 years I still havent played Icecap Zone. I thought maybe the fault was on my end. Maybe I was going the wrong way or something so I looked online for a scan of the manual.
I found out that the GLITCH is actually a FEATURE:
look at that last little part. Instead of actually fixing the glitch they just warned you that it might happen.
Im never playing Sonic 3 again.

Fuck that.
You should have gone the other way.

The other path is just with Knuckles...
Anyway, where the hell are you getting stuck?
The only bug I got was playing in super form and die in a certain corner at full speed.
"If you can't connect to a multiplayer game, the terrorists have won. Reset."
Secondly, to this day I have never used the up/down to get past that part, I always jump. It is possible to do it while jumping if you get enough momentum going you can spin dash under it. It also helps to have someone play as Tails and get a rhythm going.
Getting past that part for the first time as a kid was insane.
@Scape Sonic 3 and the rest of the Mega Drive / Genesis Sonic are indeed amongst the greatest games ever, like many of the games I love, I love them for the music and have started figuring out how to play them on guitar.
But I beat it and then I beat Sonic & Knuckles then Sonic 3 & Knuckles never got the cool ending either.
@Trevor: That story goes multiple ways, other sources state that the game was divided just to make more cash, because of its length.
how weird.
Sonic 3 is one of my all time favourite games (like no. 2 or 3-ish), and yes I admit this particular section of the game did suck at first. But as even as a 10-year-old kid it took me all of two minutes to figure out. I mean, I wanted it to go down so I pressed down. Wasn't hard. Down button for down, up button for up.
In regards to the reset thing, that mostly happened on this Carnival Zone level... you could get stuck in the walls because these barrel things you're having trouble with can push you up into them while you're jumping off them... i read the manual when it happened to me and saw i had to reset the game. At least the Sonic Team knew how to creatively cover their fuck ups back then, now they just release a game and expect us to deal with it.
