I'm 33 and same. I spent so many hours playing this as a child. Back before internet or really cell phones. Back when to find cheat codes you had to get them on a hastily scrawled note from a friend whose older sibling had a game guide. Good times.
These are the good old days of bosses. 6 consecutive boss battles as Robotnik does his absolute hardest to get away. Death egg zone boss Giant robot fingers Giant robot with laser Robotnik escaping with the master emerald The shuttle trying to escape in the doomsday zone The final robotnik robot still trying to escape when the shuttle goes down. Every time you think you've got him, he keeps on going. Just as any boss would be when determined to get away. This is the pinnacle of final bosses.
I love the sense of escalating stakes in this game. First you do an epic takedown at the Death Egg, so it's over right? NO! In fact, that was just half of the game, you go to Lava Reef to stop Eggman definitively, but he steals the Master Emerald and manages to get the Death Egg back up. Knuckles finally gets that he is being fooled, so he helps you go to outer space through Sky Sanctuary to invade it, and it's filled with Eggman's traps that make it super tense to navigate through, and finally as you make through the end he desperately throws every one of his last robots, but thanks to your possession of the Super Emeralds, you are able to stop him. All of this without saying a word. This game is a master class in wordless storytelling
and absolute hell in difficulty. I was almost about to quit in the final stage untill I found out that you could boost and then I beat it in the second try
u eat soybeans when super sonic is partially invincible, hyper sonic is completely invincible according to the wiki. So sad sega never show sonic in his hyper form
:/ I want to see hyper sonic but IN 3D and... YOU CANT STOP HIM he can end the world just needs Speed and why Sonic's name upside down or something at the credits look
I always loved the progression of this. Robotnik's robot fingers - robot itself - him in his eggship after it was destroyed - escape to his main ship and super sonic begins - after main ship destroyed, still tries his damnedest to get away with the emerald in his last robot while still firing missiles at sonic in the hopes that super sonic runs out before he can be defeated. Definitely feels like a final boss, something I don't feel in a lot of modern games now.
I remember when I was kid, I heard talk about this Zone but thought it was another one of those lies you hear at the playground, so when I found this I flipped my shit
Eggman is a good example, we can learn from him: - to have three/multiple backup plans - very organized (he run to ready-for-battle robot) - hard work (he created all of his robot himself) - clever, understand that he is facing a speedster
I never realized it as a kid but SUPER SONIC and HYPER SONIC are references to speed, like Sonic's own name. Pretty clever of the creator to give him upgraded forms based on them.
I still feel so fucking pumped watching this. I can remember being really young in the 90's watching my brother and my dad play this boss and cheering them on
did you hear about Sega emulator so if you feel like playing Sonic again download K Fuion emulator and play all Sonic games and all Sega Games ! you can thank me later !
I was 10 years old. This game, Mario games, Zelda games, Fox kids, and nikelodeon were my life, nay my childhood! Growing up in the 90's was the best! Actually reliving some of it now by watching Rocko's Modern Life on the complete series dvd box set I got off of Amazon. Just remember, "Laundry Day is a very dangerous day."
First time I finally beat the game as Hyper Sonic, the master emerald is restored, Sonic and Tails head for home..it really felt like the ultimate ending to an incredible adventure.
Prime example of what Eggman should be, not a whiny manchild who's the butt of the jokes after a defeat, but an absolute menace who absolutely refuses to give up and does not tolerate failure from anyone, not even himself. Combine this level of persistence with Eggman's personality from SA1 and 2 you get the *perfect* villain, someone who while yes does have goofy moments and quirks will absolutely go through any lengths to achieve his goals.
@@kokibii1066 I can also aggree with you there. Shadows death at the end makes sense, I would probably call that the canin end of sonics story. None of the newer games are really highly story based
Funny enough. It’s just part one of the Best ending. The second part is Knuckles defeating the Robotnik Clone and restoring the Island to its original state with the Super Emeralds. A reason to play it, again!
No Knuckles' story takes place BEFORE Sonic's story because that was when Eggman first arrived at Angel Island. Sonic and Tails didn't get there until after Knuckles was tricked into thinking they were his enemies.
I always wished they'd kept the Sonic 3 sound effects and boss music into Sonic & Knuckles instead of putting the Sonic & Knuckles effects & boss music into Sonic 3 when the games were together.
5:25 You had finally won, after fighting for so hard and so long, you won, the time of rejoice in knowing that you have survived has arrived. AHHH the Nostalgia
Probably for the best The emeralds properties in future game seems to be enough already. "Unlimited power, negative and positive energy, time travel, bring people back from death..." Hyper Sonic looks exagerated
Togepi1234 Gaming well,there is also no continuity involved actually.eggman just kinda has the masteremerald again and sonic follows him because he has no other hobby xD
I think to this day this is the best Sonic game in all it's glory. The big 3, co-op mode with flight assist. Best Genesis graphics, both games attached, great soundtrack. This was peak Sonic era
I remember playing this on relaese in 94. Once you got to doomsday, it genuinely felt like this game wouldn't end. God I wish they put this much effort into sonic games today 😢
I still love this. As a kid maybe around 8 years old or so, I beat this game several times without obtaining all the emeralds. I didn’t know what that were for or that this zone existed. So when I finally unlocked Super Sonic and got to this zone, I still remember my extreme excitement. My hands were trembling! Not many moments in my life have come close to that feeling, this is definitely one of my core memories forever.
This is, to me, the pinnacle of any final boss of any videogame. S3&K was such a full feeling game with such an amazing soundtrack. First time I ever saw this shit I was completely blown away, and quite frankly I've never felt this way about any other game since. The crazy progression of this entire rush of bosses literally makes me feel like "Oh shit this is literally THE end and final confrontation!" It makes me feel like yes, I truly just beat his ass for the final time. If they never made another Sonic game after this, I could have died happy and fulfilled in the series. But seriously though GAT DAMN that soundtrack! I can't get enough of it!
Can I just point out this is actually kind of Sad in Dr. Robotnik's case. Think about this. All he's doing is prolonging himself. DEFEATING HIM IN GIANT ROBOT PHASE 1: Ok, he lost his fingers he can still do something DEFEATING HIM IN GIANT ROBOT PHASE 2: Ok He Blew up the robot giving up should be out there DEFEATING HIM IN WHEN HE'S TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH THE EMERALD IN THE EGGMOBILE (or whatever its called) AND/OR ESCAPING SONIC: Dude, Your done! ITS OVER. DEFEATING HIM IN A STARSHIP ESCAPING SONIC AGAIN!: HE'S HYPER SONIC! YOU...HAVE...NO...CHANCE! DROP THE EMERALD AND RUN BEFORE HE KILLS YOU IN SPACE! DEFEATING HIM FINALLY IN AN ESCAPING ROBOT SUIT: HOW PERSISTENT IS THIS GUY! seriously at this point I'm picturing him crying in that thing screaming, "No It's mine! Leave em alone!" And he knows he doesn't stand a chance. Like I said Keep in mind He's Fleeing not fighting back in the end.
I don't think many today don't appreciate how long Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles was. To complete both these games collecting all 14 Chaos Emeralds was a time commitment and skill level needed to pull this off. Timeless classic.
No Big, no Shadow, no talking sword, no human love interest, no weird chao creatures, no weird anatomy, no talking. This is what I remember Sonic being. Just Sonic vs Robotnik and his robots.
Damn..the flashbacks..I remember the first time I made it to this some..my dad and I both yelled out "oh shit"..also first time not getting my ass beat for cussing...good times..very good times
That bonus Doomsday zone you got at the end was like the hardest sh*t in all the classic Sonic games haha. Not only did it feature the most insane bosses in the entire game, but it was restricted to Sonic only (meaning you had to go through the game the hard way first, no flying or climbing walls with Tails or Knuckles), AND you had to get ALL emeralds to unlock Supersonic mode, or else it wouldn't trigger. I vaguely recall having succeeded in clearing Doomsday zone back then, but man, talk about a pain in the arse haha. XD
One of the best game of my childhood. Don’t know how many time I’ve finished this game ❤️❤️❤️ Immortal! (Still have hydrocity zone 1 and Flying battery zone 1 on my playlist)
My bullies bullied me for not beating the doomsday zone my grandma helped me with seven chaos emeralds and super emeralds she died aswell rest in peace 😢
i really hope people still play this game its the perfect sonic game this was a really good game back then it was so good. i still play sonic 3&k best classic sonic game ever.
I was 7 when I beat this on my DS lite. Since then I’ve beat games like Spider-Man, GTA, Breath of the Wild, and grinded hours on other multiplayer games. But no gaming accomplishment has ever come remotely close to beating this game all those years ago
this games ending(normal ending) is probably the best ending in any sonicgame.not saying other endings arent good,but come on xD its just epic how that giant robot just follows you with the master emerald and then you follow a defeated eggman to take the emerald back and during all of this,the epic music plays
Sonic dashes at the robot, until it explodes, Sonic grabs the master emerald, carrying it onto the Tornado, fading out his hyper form. They fly over Angel Island, returning the master emerald to Knuckles, making the island rise again. Knuckles sees them fly by, and thanking the blue hedgehog and the orange fox, Sonic and Tails fly into the distance, as animals follow.
If the franchise had ended here after this epic boss battle (after sonic 1-3, Sonic CD and Sonic and Knuckles) this would be remembered as the greatest game franchise of all time !!
The pre-Doomsday zone boss is a bitch. I remember I was close to running out of time on that one so I was like "eh, I'll just time out and I'll restart the level with a full timer" and then you realize that you restart the boss... with no rings.
They really tried their hardest for just 1994! I think this is by FAR the BEST sonic game with the BEST music! Also, whose still watching this in 2022? I know i am.
I’m 31 and always remembered this boss being super hard for me as a kid. I could always get passed the fingers but always had a hard time dodging the laser.
I read somewhere that Robotnik is actually very strong and athletic, despite allowing his machines and robots to do most of his work for him, and despite his egg-shaped physique.
I keep hearing the first completion music in my dream since last month and I can't get it out of my head. It's so weird because my brother and I played this when we were younger #sosad#
Nice job of making it this far! I really like the 8-bit sonic games and to see somebody make it this far is amazing to me. I cant even get to death egg in sonic 2! All I’m trying to say is this is really cool.k bye now!
As a kid i never beat the game game with all the emralds and thought it was just that. But now that got all the emralds as an adult i was blown away by the Doomsday zone. It was such a magical yet intimidating moment lol.
I'm 35 and this music still gives me chills!
I'm 33 and same. I spent so many hours playing this as a child. Back before internet or really cell phones. Back when to find cheat codes you had to get them on a hastily scrawled note from a friend whose older sibling had a game guide. Good times.
Heck Yes 33 here as well the boss music is soooooo good such a jam
36 and still playing this masterpiece today! But still..........F YOU SANDOPOLIS ZONE! AND THE GHOSTS!!!!
Same feeling got goosebumps jamming out to this music growing up and still got that feeling now
Love this music!! It is so epic! Give me tears. I felt like I am all in, fighting, doing everything for the freedom of animals slaved by Dr Robotinik
S3&K felt "whole". It gave you pretty much everything you wanted to see and play. Every game should feel that way, at it doesnt quite often.
Sonic 2 and 3&K are also one whole game
@@phoenix6861 and sonic mania
S3&k is the best sonic game ever.
@@DamnZtar I don’t see how mania connects to them. I do see how it connects forces but that’s about it.
@@Jenb13171 doesn’t the manual say mania takes place after 3?
Eggman really was all for "If you want this emerald you'll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers"
Hey Eggman....what fingers!?
These are the good old days of bosses. 6 consecutive boss battles as Robotnik does his absolute hardest to get away.
Death egg zone boss
Giant robot fingers
Giant robot with laser
Robotnik escaping with the master emerald
The shuttle trying to escape in the doomsday zone
The final robotnik robot still trying to escape when the shuttle goes down.
Every time you think you've got him, he keeps on going. Just as any boss would be when determined to get away.
This is the pinnacle of final bosses.
yea. its pretty awesome
I wish the Sonic Franchise did something like this again. This is one of my favorite boss fights ever.

@caveirainvocada9438 that's action storytelling for ya
Kinda badass how Sonic has an after image in Hyper form. Shows how fast he is now compared to before.
u eat soybeans when super sonic is partially invincible, hyper sonic is completely invincible according to the wiki. So sad sega never show sonic in his hyper form
:/ I want to see hyper sonic but IN 3D and... YOU CANT STOP HIM he can end the world just needs Speed and why Sonic's name upside down or something at the credits look

3 different mechs back yo back
One of the best video game ever made. 1st play when i was 9; im 38 and still lovin it.. the music, the graphics.. damn.. classic gem
Id call this game a master piece but thats an understatement
Master emerald piece
No run intended
There was a certain mechanical charm to the bosses of the Sonic Genesis era. A certain charm that I felt was lost in the 3D post Dreamcast era.
I can definitely see that.

no as someone who did not grow up with this games I can definitely see what you're trying to say and I agree.

yeah because what robotnik is doing is wrong
honestly HOW in the hell does he survive anyway
Evan Bernardi sonic has no mercy for robotnik
He has a lot of tenacity, but this is when he was at his most powerful. Before Mania, in Sonic 4 it said he went bankrupt after Sonic 3.
stuart hough true but he isn’t trying to fight he’s scared of sonic at this point he wants to just be left alone
This final battle was foreshadowed in a picture in the Hidden Palace Zone
I never got to see this as a kid. So cool. I miss Eggman taking 8 hits to beat.

this games ending(normal ending) is probably the best ending in any sonicgame.not saying other endings arent good,but come on xD its just epic how that giant robot just follows you with the master emerald and then you follow a defeated eggman to take the emerald back and during all of this,the epic music plays
I'm sorry but I love the contrast in musical tone when you get the 1-up at 3:46 against the Doomsday theme
Sonic dashes at the robot, until it explodes, Sonic grabs the master emerald, carrying it onto the Tornado, fading out his hyper form. They fly over Angel Island, returning the master emerald to Knuckles, making the island rise again. Knuckles sees them fly by, and thanking the blue hedgehog and the orange fox, Sonic and Tails fly into the distance, as animals follow.
Ive always wondered where they go at the end
Probably the best final boss of all the classic games
this was the best ever sonic game for me. i really loved playing this
If the franchise had ended here after this epic boss battle (after sonic 1-3, Sonic CD and Sonic and Knuckles) this would be remembered as the greatest game franchise of all time !!
The pre-Doomsday zone boss is a bitch. I remember I was close to running out of time on that one so I was like "eh, I'll just time out and I'll restart the level with a full timer" and then you realize that you restart the boss... with no rings.
It's been almost 30 years....and I still never got this far in Sonic 3 haha. God bless the internet
2:59 that final explosion is so satisfying
Thank you for this video, I never made it to the end and now I know the ending. what a masterpiece!
These two games linked together were my favorite. I think a replay is in order
Knuckles is like “Hey thanks for the emerald, if you need help just ask”.
Do we EVER win!?
That depends on your definition of win
*B* e *A* t *I* n *G* *S* o *N* i *C*
Oh, well then no
If you had hyper sonic you were pro af.
Great game though 10/10
They really tried their hardest for just 1994!
I think this is by FAR the BEST sonic game with the BEST music!
Also, whose still watching this in 2022? I know i am.
8 years old and I love this song I love sonic
Love classic sonic games.
This is my best Sonic game ever played. Period and enough said.
0:01 200/200 walking
I’m 31 and always remembered this boss being super hard for me as a kid. I could always get passed the fingers but always had a hard time dodging the laser.
Why is eggman always the same speed of sonic in the every 3 games it's so strange
I read somewhere that Robotnik is actually very strong and athletic, despite allowing his machines and robots to do most of his work for him, and despite his egg-shaped physique.
Man, if only Sega could release Sonic 3 + Knuckles on the PSN. Would play the hell out of it.
4 years later....are you ready for Sonic origins in a few weeks?
Jared Rockhold On Sonic 3 and knuckles being the best sonic game ever. OF COURSE!!!!!! EXACTLY!!!!!! WAY PAST COOL!!!!!!!!!
I keep hearing the first completion music in my dream since last month and I can't get it out of my head. It's so weird because my brother and I played this when we were younger #sosad#
Nice job of making it this far! I really like the 8-bit sonic games and to see somebody make it this far is amazing to me. I cant even get to death egg in sonic 2! All I’m trying to say is this is really cool.k bye now!
In Sonic 3 it feels like Robotnik actually wants to KILL Sonic this time
What abt Death Egg in Sonic 2?
Finally... someone who’s actually good at the game
Damn, I forgot how much of a banger the soundtrack was
@6:38 Knuckles, you my friend owe them an apology for the hell you gave them.
As a kid i never beat the game game with all the emralds and thought it was just that. But now that got all the emralds as an adult i was blown away by the Doomsday zone. It was such a magical yet intimidating moment lol.
I still remember playing this when I was a child, best memories!! Thank you dad por buy me this game :')
*Sonic* : "Tails, you'd better dodge that deadly beam!"
*Tails* : "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Nah, I'm good, thx"
lol
hey its my childhood. its as good as i remember
