If you're still struggling to find the big rings I used in this video, I have a full Sonic 3 & K playthrough posted on the channel! Be sure to check that out if you're also stuck on other levels in the game (Looking at you Barrel of Doom in Carnival Night lol) th-cam.com/video/UMYFrnuRKys/w-d-xo.html
Something I once thought impossible as a kid finally happened when returning to it as a 30something adult, and I owe it all to you, my dude. Thank you for putting the time into this and may you always be fast!
@@soundspark Oh that's for sure! It's the ultimate version for that reason alone. I think the game shouldn't be too difficult to run so even if you have a low end PC you should be good! Only issue is Denuvo being intrusive
@@soundspark To my understanding, it causes games to stutter and require more powerful hardware which is a bad idea considering that they wanna risk performance issues on easy to run retro games to protect you from "pirates" stealing games that were released over 3 decades ago now. This has nothing to do with vaccinations at all so I have no clue why that was even brought up lol.
Facts: The Chaos Emeralds do not become Super Emeralds. What you do is, after you go to the Hidden Palace for the first time, you turn your Chaos Emeralds in for Super Emeralds. While in the Hidden Palace, the Chaos Emeralds disappear out of nowhere and the Super Emeralds appear out of nowhere and the Super Emeralds replace the Chaos Emeralds. Meaning, you have a total of 14 emeralds to rescue from Dr. Eggman. All 14 emeralds (7 Chaos and 7 Super) allow you to play as Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckles and Hyper Tails.
You can clearly see the 7 chaos emeralds land on each empty altar, you even see the color of the super emerald for a split second then end up looking bigger and gray. Then you have to complete the blue spheres once more.
The actual order of super emeralds on hidden palace is central, near left, near right, mid left, mid right, far left and finally far right. A tip, don't run or jump on the plate that you spawn on or else you get sent back to the main zone empty handed and thus wasted a big ring.
I only remember that order because as a kid, i only had sonic & knuckles. I later got sonic mega collection on gamecube and bought a mega drive with all the sonic games in 2015
Hyper Sonic has the power of all shields: 1. Invincibility shield because he is immune to attacks from badniks, spikes & bosses 2. Fire Shield because he can jump dash forward & is immune to fire attacks 3. Magnet Shield because he can double jump 4. Bubble Shield because he can't drown
Got all Chaos Emeralds with Tails, went to my Sonic/w Tails file and got the Super Emeralds with your aid! Thanks!! No way could I have gotten them all in the original game. I’d have to restart the Knuckles half to get them all before end-game, and this vid got them in the first stage! Bravo!
btw i used a different method of beating the first super emerald stage where you dont actually use the springs often. like u just end up where the blue spheres. you see, if you go left (or right) you automatically access the bue spheres encased in the springs.
No not at all! There are Chaos Emerald Rings in all of Sonic 3 and Super Emerald Rings in all of Sonic & Knuckles! At the start of the video I linked a website called the Sonic Zone which has all the Big Ring Locations for both games in every zone! I just showed off the fastest way to get all of them
Ugh as a 1st timer playing Sonic 3 I didn’t know you had to get all the super emeralds in Mushroom Hill. I was thinking the same routine beforehand; that there would be more opportunities for super emeralds in later stages. Damn it
Help! I collected all 7 chaos emeralds by the 3rd stage, received the "can transform into Super Sonic" but when I double jump with 50 - 75 rings, nothing happens. Please help! I'm not in mushroom kingdom yet to activate the super emeralds so idk what's going wrong
You can't double jump to activate Super Sonic anymore. You have to jump then press the top button of your controller. Y for Xbox, X for Switch and Triangle for Playstation
Can you go Super or Hyper in other games after getting them here in STH3&K? edit: I’ve got all the chaos emeralds and one super emerald, I haven’t tested my question out yet though!
I wish Sonic Origins had a save feature like the Nintendo Switch so I can save at moment. Because its super painful when you mess up and have to restart the whole game lol
Yeah I can certainly do that if it's heavily requested! There's a lot of Rings and it would take a lot of time which is usually why I link the soniczone site for that, but I wouldn't mind working on it if I finish all my other scheduled Sonic Origins content beforehand
I’m very rare occasions I have trouble with the special stage at 24:40! I REALLY hope it IS just my incompetence and nothing wrong with my game and/or the switch! But in my heart I think I’m doing it right but unfortunately I tend to have three left at the very end when it’s supposed to be just two!
No not at all! There's big rings in all of the levels in the game. I'm just showing the fastest strategy to get all of the emeralds. In the description I have a link to the Sonic 3 maps and Sonic & Knuckles maps which show you images of all the acts with where the Big Rings are. Just zoom into each of the images to find where they are and figure out the path towards it that best suits you!
Help, so I got the last chaos emerald in lava reef act 2, and im currently in sky sanctuary. and cant transform into super sonic, even with 50+ rings. I’m pressing correct buttons, too.
bro this special stages are so hard , i need to farm starts that way I can retry the stage at least 20 times lol, hat off who play this in classic mode with one try..
On what console was it played? I have the issue that on Xbox one none of it works. Played the regular one through and also the anniversery mode. But I can't transform into hyper Sonic. Got any idea what I could try to solve the problem?
Is it not possible to become super sonic if you have tails? Collected all the emeralds for the first time since I was a kid, and idk if there's a certain key I need to press but I thought it was the double jump that activated it
There’s a glitch if you go to level select in sonic 3 by doing up up down down up up up up in title screen go to level select and do 4126 in sound test then do 19941018 go in mushroom hill do any blue spheres don’t have to beat it though then you get out of there use a super sonic monitor and BOOM HYPER SONIC FOR FREE
yes! To get Super Sonic, get the chaos emeralds, to get Hyper Sonic, trade in your chaos emeralds to get all the super emeralds in the second half of the game!
What I don't like is... why replace super themes? Why didn't they add an option to swap super themes you want to use or fit your gameplay style. It pisses me a bit. Now I have to mute it and use my cell phone to play classic sonic songs. 🥺
@@StickmanGuidesNOW I GOT HYPER SONIC🗣️🗣️🗣️ this is an amazing and high quality and high effort video because of you I was able to get the super and hyper forms
Dude what is wrong with me I'm actually an idiot LOL. In the video, if you check all the timestamps I specifically wrote "[Zone Name] Act [#] - Super emerald [#]". Even at timestamp 18:47 I called them Super Emeralds then when it came to titling the video, making the timestamps and the description I called them "Hyper Emeralds" I must have been tired from pumping out all the videos and barely getting any sleep... I'm sorry lol, fixed everything! Thank you for pointing that out
@@foxtrap86flame I'm glad the mistake was made with the description and title and not in the actual video itself haha. But I really do care about video accuracy and quality so if it was all wrong I would have reuploaded the video. Thanks again
Yes there are big rings in every zone! I chose to enter the first ones I came across because that would be the fastest way to get Hyper Sonic. I have in the description a link to all the other maps which show you all the ring locations
FACTS TY. People really have the nerve to say Sonic 2’s were the hardest??? And they say “oh blue sphere were my favorite” like wtf? Lmao these ones are the hardest ones in the series the blue spheres can go screw themselves
Hyper Sonic was always canon. Ignore Lizuka statement on that. Sega/Aaron Weber has said everything is Canon forever.

@@cappycreed283that works too!
what keys do i press in order to activate supersonic?

I'm very happy for the return of hyper sonic, but unfortunately his theme song seems to have come out of sonic 4
LOL, couldn’t have said it any better myself
@@StickmanGuides Lucky the PC version has mods.

It looks like the stages for the super emeralds get easier as you keep on going.
And sometimes more confusing
@@S0me_Ind1vidual I got all 7 chaos emeralds easily I think they made it easier to get the emeralds
lies...
@@Semintized bruh I got the seven chaos emeralds in Sonic 3 and 3 super emeralds in Sonic and Knuckles
@@needlemouse9266 I think they got easier as we got older as well. I remember has a kid this shit being hard af.

Oh yeah that's actually a good catch! Never thought about it that way before
He's more OP than super, I like it that way but I prefer super.
And yes I never thought of that.
Got all Chaos Emeralds with Tails, went to my Sonic/w Tails file and got the Super Emeralds with your aid! Thanks!!
No way could I have gotten them all in the original game. I’d have to restart the Knuckles half to get them all before end-game, and this vid got them in the first stage! Bravo!
That's what I like to hear haha! Glad to hear the guide helped you and hope you enjoy replaying this game in the future if you ever plan on it!
Thanks man, I don’t have a switch or ps5. I play it on my tv with game stick available in Amazon. I now have completed the whole game
@@TSBROBLOXDude Good stuff! 👍🏻
Very fast service man😂
Btw do you play Roblox?
24:39 Thank you so much for creating this video. Without this video I wouldn't be able to get this super emerald. 👍
Happy to help!!
Bro same i raged so much trying that one
Can you get the true final boss without getting Super Sonic but getting Hyper Sonic?
@@Michael-Gaming-6009 no, if you dont get the emeralds for super sonic, the super emeralds will be grey and locked.
@@AjnZ132 Great. Now I have to start my whole save file over. Wait if you beat the game normal can you go back and get the Emeralds like in Mania?
When the world needed him the most. He came back.
I agree! I hope they put Hyper Sonic in the modern games someday!
btw i used a different method of beating the first super emerald stage where you dont actually use the springs often. like u just end up where the blue spheres. you see, if you go left (or right) you automatically access the bue spheres encased in the springs.
I unlocked Super Sonic by Hydrocity Zone Act 2, and Hyper Sonic at Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2.
Perfect! Those are exactly when I got them too!
@soundspark
So did I.
Same
Wow, everybody's a pro!
Mushroom hill has an insane ammount of big rings
Fun fact: Whenever I enter a Special Stage in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, I have the tendency to sing the lyrics to I'm a Giant Sandwich Man.🙃
A man of culture. Love Peter Knetter too!
Are the super emerald rings only in mushrrom hill
No not at all! There are Chaos Emerald Rings in all of Sonic 3 and Super Emerald Rings in all of Sonic & Knuckles! At the start of the video I linked a website called the Sonic Zone which has all the Big Ring Locations for both games in every zone! I just showed off the fastest way to get all of them
So they removed Hyper Sonic after S3aK because of seizures, but now made him even brighter and now may be canon?
That's literally what confused me
In sonic Mania the super emerald's are broken
So yes hyper was already Canon but it seems sonic can use it once
The seizures are a rumor, that was never the case.
Hopefully, the music can be changed to the original Hyper Sonic music.
Ugh as a 1st timer playing Sonic 3 I didn’t know you had to get all the super emeralds in Mushroom Hill. I was thinking the same routine beforehand; that there would be more opportunities for super emeralds in later stages. Damn it
@@bryanrazo9763 i found a big ring after mushroom hill zone, so u still have a chance

You can't double jump to activate Super Sonic anymore. You have to jump then press the top button of your controller. Y for Xbox, X for Switch and Triangle for Playstation
Thank you! What a pain to sit here mashing buttons not knowing how to trigger SS
mushroom Kingdom???????
Lol mushroom kigdom😂😂😂😂
By mushroom kingdom he means mushroom hill zone.
Can you go Super or Hyper in other games after getting them here in STH3&K?
edit: I’ve got all the chaos emeralds and one super emerald, I haven’t tested my question out yet though!
I wish Sonic Origins had a save feature like the Nintendo Switch so I can save at moment. Because its super painful when you mess up and have to restart the whole game lol
Will you do a guide for Sonic Frontiers when it comes out?
Yes! ^_^
I FINALLY GOT ALL OF THEM, thanks a lot man!
Let's goooo! Congrats :)
I just got hyper sonic and finished the game
THANK YOU SO MUCH
You're welcome!
*Can we appreciate this video cuz he helped me to get all the chaos and super emeralds in sonic 3?*
Happy to help!
Can you do a video on all super special stage ring locations from mushroom hill to flying battery and such
Yeah I can certainly do that if it's heavily requested! There's a lot of Rings and it would take a lot of time which is usually why I link the soniczone site for that, but I wouldn't mind working on it if I finish all my other scheduled Sonic Origins content beforehand
@Stickman Guides
I got all the Chaos Emeralds in Hydrocity Zone (Act 1 and 2) and I got all the Super Emeralds in Mushroom Hill Zone (Act 1 and 2).

What happened if I miss the first big ring? :(
I was playing the story mode, do I have to play the whole story again?

What if u fail one
Based on the maps provided, you could get 4 Super Emeralds in Mushroom Hill Zone 1 instead of 3?
Help, so I got the last chaos emerald in lava reef act 2, and im currently in sky sanctuary. and cant transform into super sonic, even with 50+ rings. I’m pressing correct buttons, too.
Thank you you will get I shoutout in my next video because you helped me get all super emrelds in sonic 3 and knuckles
If it is a saved game, I work on Hyper Sonic AFTER I beat the game lol.
Yeah that's possible this game!
Can you show us the controlls how to turn into super sonic or hyper sonic because i have the chaos emeralds and i cant turn into super sonic
✪ To transform into Super/Hyper Sonic, jump into the air and then press
• PC - O Key
• Xbox - Y Button
• Switch - X Button
• PlayStation - △ Button
Thank you for your help, Now I finally have Hyper Sonic!
😁👍🎉🎉🎉
Let’s freaking GOOO JSpeed! Enjoy
@@StickmanGuides Thanks 👍
bro this special stages are so hard , i need to farm starts that way I can retry the stage at least 20 times lol,

I got you bro. Check out my video here and go to 5:16
th-cam.com/video/HKMxMYwwCqM/w-d-xo.html
On what console was it played?
I have the issue that on Xbox one none of it works.
Played the regular one through and also the anniversery mode. But I can't transform into hyper Sonic.
Got any idea what I could try to solve the problem?
Thanks.now,i have completed all 3 and knuckles in super and hyper forms for origins lol
Let's go!!! Congrats man :)
I Knew This Video So After My Dad Tried I Just Copied You're Moves, Thanks
Is it not possible to become super sonic if you have tails? Collected all the emeralds for the first time since I was a kid, and idk if there's a certain key I need to press but I thought it was the double jump that activated it
The button to press mid-air on PC is O. On Xbox I think it’s Y? I’m not sure. But I’m certain the PC keybind is jump then O in the air.
35:45 Hyper Sonic
There’s a glitch if you go to level select in sonic 3 by doing up up down down up up up up in title screen go to level select and do 4126 in sound test then do 19941018 go in mushroom hill do any blue spheres don’t have to beat it though then you get out of there use a super sonic monitor and BOOM HYPER SONIC FOR FREE
i already have super sonic so i cant wait to get hyper sonic
If you're using sonic air you can just go back to the same ring over and over after you beat the game giving infinite retrys
How do u transform into super sonic in sonic origins??
25:31 bro do be moonwalking
You can only get super emralds in sonic & knuckles?
yes
What do I have to press to become hyper sonic?
I’ve got all the chaos emeralds but I still can not change into super sonic I’ve tried double jumping but nothing can you help please?
You have to jump and then press triangle on PS, Y on Xbox or X on Switch
@@StickmanGuides tried that still nothing
Thanks!
13:21 this is in act 1 or 2?
Act 1 for Hydrocity. I show the special stage right afterwards
How can I become super sonic again after getting the super emeralds
wait, so i have to get all the chaos emeralds first?
yes! To get Super Sonic, get the chaos emeralds, to get Hyper Sonic, trade in your chaos emeralds to get all the super emeralds in the second half of the game!
@@StickmanGuides crap, on all my save files I just didn't get any and waited until mushroom hill. Oh well
I like ur vid so much
Do Mania next
My favorite part 19:49
Im still so annoyed that you get super tails with chaos emeralds not super emeralds. It just doesn’t feel right.
what did they do to his theme...
Sonic 4 called, it asked for its music back
This isn't necessary for me as i did this multiple times. But good job!
I just need to get the purple super emerald I think it’s really hard
I love sonic

Edit: no
24:30

why the name of charecter is COINS

Hyper Sonic was always canon. Ignore Lizuka statement on that.
Sega/Aaron Weber has said everything is Canon forever.
Sonic 3&k was foreshadowed in story mode in the mural of him in the background when you fight knuckles.
I believe because a current modern hyper sonic would be too op so they had to shelf it but what confuses me is that they gave Sonic other powerful transformations in the franchise so yeah...you can argue
Excalibur>>Hyper as Excalibur was stated to be the final/ultimate form of Sonic but idk they may recton hyper and make it the strongest known form again but if you count Excalibur you can argue Hyper Sonic is 2nd to Excalibur Sonic. Either or.
But atleast you guts FINALLY realize that Hyper Sonic is canon now. So I guess baby steps?🤷🏿♂️
