Sonic 3 and Knuckles: Difference between revisions

Line 48:

* [[Ancient Egypt]]: Sandopolis Zone is [[Ancient Egypt]] <small>[[Recycled in Space|ON THE FLOATING ISLAND!]]</small>

* [[And I Must Scream]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted:]] when you beat the Lava Reef Zone boss, Eggman sinks into the lava, which cools and hardens seconds later. After the Knuckles fight in Hidden Palace Zone, he's shown to be perfectly fine.

* [[Another Side Another Story]]: ...Maybe. It's hard to tell, given the minimalist style of 16-bit-era storytelling, but Knuckles' adventure might actually take place ''after'' Sonic's; see [http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_3_%26_Knuckles_chronology_and_endings here] for an analysis.

* [[Another Side, Another Story]]: ...Maybe. It's hard to tell, given the minimalist style of 16-bit-era storytelling, but Knuckles' adventure might actually take place ''after'' Sonic's; see [http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_3_%26_Knuckles_chronology_and_endings here] for an analysis.

* [[Background Boss]]: The first part of the final boss.

* [[Bag of Spilling]]: The good ending of ''Sonic 2'' is used as the canon one, with the opening cutscene showing Super Sonic briefly before Knuckles punches the emeralds out of him and takes them away.

Line 61:

** "Special Stages:" A 3D maze where you must "Get Blue Spheres". Finishing earns you a Chaos Emerald. Accessible via giant rings hidden in the levels.

** "Bonus Stages:" Stages for collecting rings and powerups. Accessible via a circle of stars that appear if you pass a [[Check Point|star post]] with 20 or more rings.

* [[Boss Only Level]]: The Doomsday Zone.

* [[Boss-Only Level]]: The Doomsday Zone.

** The Great Eggman Robo may also count, as it seems to be in its own act.

* [[Boss Rush]]: Sky Sanctuary Zone.
