The reason why Sega ignores it is because Michael Jackson actually composed some of the music for Sonic 3 and if Sega acknowledges the game they risk bringing up copyright issues and having to pay royalty checks
SillyMeme the thing is, they can change the music by using the beta music or making new music, but the current tracks are so iconic so they don’t do anything
It’s actually pretty cool that while if you only have super sonic, sonic automatically transforms to normal and falls with the emerald and gets saved by tails after securing it, but if you unlocked hyper sonic, sonic secures the emerald and turns back when he decides to, which shows how this form is greater and how he also is more familiar with the emeralds now. Really cool touch for a game made so long ago.
24:56- I have been playing these games for over 10 years and only now am I noticing the Master Emerald only glows when you get all the Super Emeralds. Check 23:34 to compare.
I feel like the super sonic ending was the real cannon ending it showed we brought back the master emrald finally but at the very end it shows that we forgot some of the badniks and so in knuckles story we have to finish what sonic left behind and take down egg robo and the still surviving mecha sonic to get back the master emrald. And at the last moment sonic stops by just one last time to give knuckles a boost. Giving us a close to a wonderful story and giving us some extras like hyper sonic.

That time in games history was another. I hope better times are coming back where games are also a labor of love. Still People back then were fucked with thight schedules... That's something that still happens today... I hope for that also to change
You learn something new every day... I had no idea that the complete completion of S&K with Sonic is a teaser for Knuckles' story... and I recently noticed that in completely completing S3&K, the played character is in the middle. To me, that is the holy grail of the Sonic series, upgrading the Chaos Emeralds to Super Emeralds. I believe that Super Tails is only accessible after upgrading all the emeralds because he is not a playable character in S&K? And Knuckles is not a playable character in S3, where he is an adversary in the stand alone game, but he comes round in S&K, he goes different routes, but Super Knuckles is accessible. Activating the super and hyper forms of the characters helps with the later boss fights, though, which gives the perfect ending, with the three characters by the S3&K logo.
How to get the endings: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Ending (Sonic): Beat the game as Sonic alone. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Ending (Tails): Beat the game as Tails alone. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Ending (Super): Beat the game as either Sonic or Tails with all the Chaos Emeralds. --------------- Sonic & Knuckles Ending (Sonic): Beat the game as either Sonic with Tails or Sonic alone. Sonic & Knuckles Ending (Tails): Beat the game as Tails alone. Sonic & Knuckles Ending (Knuckles): Beat the game as Kunckles alone. Sonic & Knuckles Ending (Super): Beat the game as any character with all the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic & Knuckles Ending (Hyper): Beat the game as any character with all the Super Emeralds.
As you may know, in sonic 3&k Knickles appears with yellow socks in cutscenes, that happens because of hardware limitations, to let things easy to understand: if Knuckles uses green socks in cutscenes, the hud would turn green instead of yellow Why i am telling you this? Because as you can see, in minute 4:49, because there's no hud, he actually uses green socks (don't ask me why he is pink, that isn't related about limitations)
the first ending *death egg falling* sonic: *the plat form is falling* this is fine tails and animals: OH NO THE DEATH EGG IS FALLINGS ITS GONNA EXPLODE RUN
There's so many possible combinations leading to so many possible endings, it's amazing. Game: Whether you're playing Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, or Sonic 3 & Knuckles Character: Whether you're playing as Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles Emeralds: Whether you collected all the Chaos Emeralds, all the Super Emeralds, or Neither
I don't know you guys notice it or not, but when you activate all the Super Emeralds, the Master Emerald going glow because the power of Super Emeralds and the animals will follow Sonic and Tails, same as Knuckles.
@@nlove7710 OH GOSH YOUR RIGHT! What happens to your arms knuckles?! What happens there is probably the game that ran out of memory to keep running to devs just re used the ending but.. with no master emerald, which I'm confused since if he can't hold the mast3r emerald he won't have the arm sprite
found it kinda weird how when sonic poses in the sonic 3 ending, the shadow palette on sonics gloves revert back to sonic 1/2s shadow palette, either something to do with repurposed sprites or the mcdonalds advert time crunch.
Sky Sanctuary's music really sounds like: "Yeah! We're gonna save the world!" EDIT: so nobody's gonna talk about how sonic just took knux to angel island while it was plummeting at terminal velocity??
I think it would have made sense to have Sonic 3 (without S&K) say "TO BE CONTINUED" at the end of the credits when you get all of the Chaos Emeralds. (Otherwise it would just say "TRY AGAIN" as usual.) Just displaying the game's title art, along with the characters in triumphant poses, gives the impression that Sonic 3 is over, when it's really only half over.
I mean, if you were the developers trying to make a deadline and had to split your game up - would you do anything that would expose that it was unfinished?
It's quite an aspect that the chaos emeralds and super emeralds determine the ending. For example, if you don't collect any emeralds Sonic and Tails failed to return the Master Emerald to Angel Island. And when you do collect them, you get either the good ending or the best ending. Really like the detail they added, and not that the chaos emeralds are just optional to obtain.
Sonic (No emeralds) = Bad Ending Sonic (Choas emeralds) = Normal Ending Sonic (Super emeralds) = Good Ending Knuckles (No emeralds) = True Bad Ending Knuckles (Choas emeralds) = True Normal Ending Knuckles (Super emeralds) = True Best Ending
Sonic Origins jipped us with the fucking Sonic 3 & Knuckles soundtrack. Now younger fans like me will never experience the greatness of the OG soundtrack 😭
1:54 I thought there was supposed to be an oversight there where Tails would mistakenly have four tails when looking at the Death Egg crashing down. It's what The Cutting Room Floor said!
I believe that not many people acknowledge the original sonic 3 credits theme. Sure the sonic and knuckles credits is better, the the sonic 3 credits theme is so damm good
I like that the Sonic 3 Complete hack by default has the endings set to play the original credits theme in place of the Sky Sanctuary Zone theme in the endings, allowing you to hear both. You can even set it up so that it plays as the actual credits theme instead, or have it be the credits or ending theme for either Sonic or Knuckles's endings and not the other character's. S3C is a really good hack, man.
I haven't played sonic 3 & knuckles for a long time but I can remember getting all endings in those games. Hearing those soundtracks made me cry and miss the early days.
I don't mean to disappoint you (too much), folks. But Sonic Origins is using S&KC music instead of the alpha/prototype version of them. I blame the demo tapes.
I prefer the sonic 3 credits over the and knuckles one. I don't like how the logo is silent and doesn't fall from the top like in sonic 3 alone. Plus that MJ credits theme is amazing.
So... could you say that the ending with Hyper Sonic is not canon? Since Super Sonic is the one where the Knuckles story teaser appears, in Hyper Sonic they only congratulate you on the percentage but the game doesn't care knowing that either way the Master Emerald returns to Angel Island . This could explain why today Hyper Sonic is no longer canon, maybe he never was and was just an extra, or maybe he was but that's not really what happened in the story? It's quite confusing...
Yeah I'm late but the Super emeralds are technically canon in the universe, but the main part is that in Mania they are in like a lil broken state and grey, like they have no powers. If it wasn't, then there won't be any in the Knuckles story. And also I think that the man who hasn't visited dentist said that they are canon asp. Still, not sure
I agree, now I think Hyper Sonic was...never meant to exist. Sonic 3 was originally a full game but split into two under time constraint. And then they created the Lock-On for Sonic & Knuckles to make the full game and Knuckles got his own story. Maybe all along, they wanted the ending with the Egg-Robo to be the true ending to tie in with Knuckles and perhaps Hyper Sonic was just a bonus? Kirby has these kind of things too where there's a bonus final boss that takes place outside of the timeline, so maybe this is the case for Sonic 3? Hyper Sonic just doesn't happen at all?
Why is it such a big deal that Angel Island is in the sea instead of the sky? Sure, it doesn't look as cool, but it sounds a lot more convenient to me.
To save Knuckles I believe, in the good ending they catch Knuckles with him holding the Master Emerald. Which he gets back after defeating Mecha Sonic.
11:58 Missed opportunity, SEGA. You could've added another scene where the last standing Eggrobo finds the top of a yellow spring to use as a cap and adding an 89 on the left side of him to transform him into E-89 Heavy
What's the differences between Sonic 3, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic & Knuckles? I though Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the only Sonic 3 game. But well, Sonic 3 final boss is at launch base, the big arms boss, and in Sonic 3 & Knuckles the final boss is Death Egg Robot, but what's in Sonic & Knuckles?
Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles are different games. But, you can plug Sonic 3 in the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge and play both together and get Sonic 3 & Knuckles
sonic 3 was originally meant to be sonic 3 + sonic & knuckles as one game, but during development they couldn't finish the latter half of the game on time so they released the first half that was finished as sonic 3 (which is angel island zone to launch base zone) then released the second half of the game as sonic & knuckles (which is mushroom hill zone to death egg/doomsday zone). but to keep their original vision for the game intact as one package, the sonic & knuckles cartridge came with this thing at the top of it that let you stick the sonic 3 cartridge onto it so you could experience both halves of the game as one as originally intended, which we know today as sonic 3 & knuckles.

This could explain why today Hyper Sonic is no longer canon, maybe he never was and was just an extra, or maybe he was but that's not really what happened in the story? It's quite confusing...
Yeah I'm late but the Super emeralds are technically canon in the universe, but the main part is that in Mania they are in like a lil broken state and grey, like they have no powers. If it wasn't, then there won't be any in the Knuckles story. And also I think that the man who hasn't visited dentist said that they are canon asp. Still, not sure
I agree, now I think Hyper Sonic was...never meant to exist. Sonic 3 was originally a full game but split into two under time constraint. And then they created the Lock-On for Sonic & Knuckles to make the full game and Knuckles got his own story. Maybe all along, they wanted the ending with the Egg-Robo to be the true ending to tie in with Knuckles and perhaps Hyper Sonic was just a bonus?
Kirby has these kind of things too where there's a bonus final boss that takes place outside of the timeline, so maybe this is the case for Sonic 3? Hyper Sonic just doesn't happen at all?
@@tailsfan10yeah but normally the secret kirby final bosses are in a separate mode
@@gamertypeawesome True, but at least I hope you got what I was trying to say 😅
Doomsday zone as super sonic is actually the canon ending to s3&k
I never actually saw the second bad ending as a teaser to Knuckles's part, I thought it meant that Eggman won as the last one standing.
Anybody else get a sore throat humming to the music
Why is it such a big deal that Angel Island is in the sea instead of the sky? Sure, it doesn't look as cool, but it sounds a lot more convenient to me.
because the sea can drown the place
Because reasons
Because Knuckles (is the absolute most big brained echidna that he thinks he is) apparently thinks he can fly up to the floating island...
it’s supposed to be floating
@@cay7809 "Supposed to" by whose standard? Is there some benefit to having it float that outweighs the convenience of having it accessible by sea?
19:09 what did they show up for?
To save Knuckles I believe, in the good ending they catch Knuckles with him holding the Master Emerald. Which he gets back after defeating Mecha Sonic.
19:13 what da knuckles doin🤨
Never explained
I love this game
Same
Me too
same
Not achieved during normal gameplay, but in Sonic 3 Tails' ending sprite can inherit proper golden fur and pulse from the "S" monitor. "v=LngalpDg8_A"
Super Sonic ending look creepy tho
What do you mean?
Super sonic ending is the true ending because the robot is the boss in knuckles's history
Knuckles's history is after for sonic's history
It might be a nod to the egg robos in sonic mania
Dangness_Deen Sonic 3 & Knuckles Was Made Before Mania So No.
Thank you paramount for giving us what we wanted 🔥
What memes?
Yes
Wut wos iot
11:58 Missed opportunity, SEGA. You could've added another scene where the last standing Eggrobo finds the top of a yellow spring to use as a cap and adding an 89 on the left side of him to transform him into E-89 Heavy
who and what
A Sonic Adventure teaser tie-in!?! (would try/play it)
Don't you mean E-102 Gamma? :)
@@RanaRandom This was five years before SEGA came up with the idea for the E-100 Series robots
@@ethanamorales640 would make sense if the *89* appeared in TV shows/comic books (previously) at one time
Couldnt due to Hardwear Limitations
bruh during the knuckles bad ending knuckles was slamming his face at the master emerald
22:52
8:32 Where's the "TRY AGAIN" words?
Come back to the mario games
Does it really need to say try again?
Only in sonic The hedgehog 3
Only in sonic 3 : Note : Knuckles is seen too
@عبدالعزيز النمري oh shit
Was that animation with Robotnik stood next to the master emerald in the original game or was it something they added to later versions?
Yeah that was always in the original game
Yes
The ost in here is actually like ost in sonic generations - final boss
@@wineapple1017 ok
I like how the tails ending(s) for SnK is the most pointless shit ever
What's the differences between Sonic 3, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic & Knuckles?
I though Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the only Sonic 3 game.
But well, Sonic 3 final boss is at launch base, the big arms boss, and in Sonic 3 & Knuckles the final boss is Death Egg Robot, but what's in Sonic & Knuckles?
Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles are different games. But, you can plug Sonic 3 in the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge and play both together and get Sonic 3 & Knuckles
sonic 3 was originally meant to be sonic 3 + sonic & knuckles as one game, but during development they couldn't finish the latter half of the game on time so they released the first half that was finished as sonic 3 (which is angel island zone to launch base zone) then released the second half of the game as sonic & knuckles (which is mushroom hill zone to death egg/doomsday zone). but to keep their original vision for the game intact as one package, the sonic & knuckles cartridge came with this thing at the top of it that let you stick the sonic 3 cartridge onto it so you could experience both halves of the game as one as originally intended, which we know today as sonic 3 & knuckles.
Same as Sonic And Knuckles, Death egg robot but if ur playing as Knuckles, it's Super Mecha Sonic
@@Voltricity435 Now, I haven’t done too much research, but last time I checked they where split apart because of a mc Donald’s ad during the 1900’s.
@@ilovelean1397 yes
I didn't even know some of these endings existed
ngl those are pretty cool “try again” screens
