There are many routes to clear each Act. Explore your surroundings to find the best way forwards.

For Game Gear titles, see “Controls” at the game select screen for basic controls, and the end of this manual for other information.

Gameplay Features

Rings

Gather Rings as you make your way through each Act. Rings will protect you from damage—once. If you’re attacked, your Rings will scatter in all directions leaving you vulnerable.

There are however some hazards that even Rings won’t protect you from. Fall down a hole, or spend too long underwater without taking a breath, and you will lose a try.

Items

Use a Spin Attack or Spin Dash to break open an Item Box to retrieve the Item therein.

Tricks and Traps

Each Act is packed with loops, collapsing walkways, springs and other tricks and traps. In “Sonic CD,” Sonic can even travel to the Past and Future with the Time Warp feature.

Star Post

Any time you take damage, you will return to the last Star Post you activated in that Act. In some titles, activating a Star Post while carrying a certain number of Rings will open a portal to a Special Stage.

Goal

Pass the goal plate to clear the Act. In the final Act of each Zone, you will need to defeat the boss and rescue the animals. In some titles, if you enter the goal area while carrying a certain number of Rings, a giant Ring will appear.

Chaos Emerald / Time Stone

Fulfill certain conditions (per title) to enter a Special Stage. Clear the Special Stage to obtain a “Chaos Emerald” or “Time Stone,” a mystical gem of unspeakable power that would be very dangerous in the wrong hands. Collect all of them to unlock an alternative ending.

Special Stage gameplay varies with each title. Please check the in-game tutorials for details.
In Anniversary Mode, you can keep retrying the Special Stage until you capture the gem, so long as you have Coins to spare.
For each of the 7 Chaos Emeralds you collect in the first part of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, a corresponding Super Emerald will be available in the final part.

Pause Menu

Press the Pause button during an Act to pause gameplay and display the Pause Menu. Here you can choose to continue the game, restart the Act, return to the Title Screen, or return to the Main Menu.

At the time, Amy was affectionately known as “Rosie the Rascal” in Japan, and “Princess Sally” in the US.

Story

Above Never Lake exists a beautiful celestial body known as Little Planet, which is only visible for a single month of the year.

Evil genius scientist Dr. Eggman is back! It’s up to Sonic assisted by Miles ‘Tails’ Prower to keep the Chaos Emeralds out of Dr. Eggman’s hands, and halt the construction of the ultimate weapon, the Death Egg.

2 PLAYER VS

Story

Sonic The Hedgehog 3

Thanks to the bravery of our heroes, the Death Egg dropped out of the sky onto Floating Island. However, Dr. Eggman plans on resurrecting it using the power of the Chaos Emeralds which are hidden somewhere on the island. As a means to a nefarious end, he convinces Knuckles, the somewhat gullible guardian of the Master Emerald, that Sonic is the real villain.

Sonic & Knuckles

After smashing the Death Egg into the planet, Sonic was blown deep into the Mushroom Hills. Knuckles appears before him and vows that he will never succeed in resurrecting the Death Egg. As the confrontation begins between the two fateful rivals, the future of the Chaos Emeralds hangs in the balance.

The twisted Dr. Eggman is back! And this time he’s hatched an evil plan to transform all the creatures of Mt. Mobius into robots. To do this, he designed the Volcano Veg-O Fortress, a super-efficient robot factory hidden inside an island volcano.

Eggman harnessed the molten lava of the volcano to power the Veg-O Fortress, and has already captured thousands of animals. And he’s created a diabolical pinball security system to secure their imprisonment. It’s up to Sonic—the world’s coolest hedgehog—to free his friends and stop Eggman’s sinister scheme, before it’s too late.

Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine

Released
1993 (US/PAL)

Story

Dr. Eggman (AKA Dr. Robotnik), the devious genius of planet Mobius, is always coming up with new schemes of global domination. His latest creation, the Mean Bean Steaming Machine, turns the cheerful inhabitants of Beanville into evil little robots, slaves to Eggman’s bidding. His goal is to remove music and joy from Mobius forever! It’s quite the hill of beans!

Eggman’s henchbots rounded up all the Bean villagers they could find and threw them into a dark cave, where a Mean Bean Machine and a cruel fate awaited them!

And this is where your part in the tale begins. Simply connect four or more Bean villagers together to allow them to escape! There’s no time to waste though, as the field fills up quickly! What’s more, the henchbots have noticed what you’re up to, and will do their best to interfere with your rescue plan!

Remove Beans from your own field better than the henchbot guard to win, and slowly work your way up the henchbot ladder. Eventually you will get to take on Eggman himself!

The fate of the Bean villagers is in your hands!
