Sonic 3 and Knuckles: Difference between revisions

** Hidden Palace Zone is a treat for those who had been wondering about that level [[Dummied Out|that only existed as a song in the options menu]] of ''Sonic 2''. The giant ceiling laser from Flying Battery Zone is clearly a reference to [[That One Boss]] from ''Sonic 2''{{'}}s Wing Fortress Zone. In Sky Sanctuary Zone, you fight a rehash of the wrecking-ball boss from ''Sonic 1''{{'}}s Green Hill Zone, and the boss with the spinning things from ''Sonic 2''{{'}}s Metropolis Zone. <ref>Interestingly, the slight alterations of sprite proportions and game physics made both fights rather different from the originals. The Green Hill boss was originally a [[Warmup Boss]]; here, he's rather harder to damage without hitting the wrecking ball on the rebound. The original Metropolis boss could only be safely hit at one point in his attack pattern; here, the boss is significantly easier because he can ''also'' be damaged while he's at the top of the screen doing nothing.</ref>
