@@ayttrmn4008 Hyper Sonic is canon, just not used because Super Sonic tends to be powerful enough on his own. I do presume we'll see Hyper Sonic again eventually though
Actually, I just figured out that if you go to that hidden super ring that knuckles was hiding with some but not all chaos emeralds, the ones you have will transform and you have a chance to earn one of those super emeralds, but the other giant rings will still take you to get the remaining chaos emeralds. I discovered this using level select.
Back when this game was released, there was no internet. Failing one of these bonus levels was frustrating as you were forced to search for another giant ring in order to have another go, to try and figure out the layout of the level and its method. If you lacked the patience, it was easy to forget about the emeralds, finish the game and forget about it. That's exactly what I did. Since watching this video, I've finished it all. I'm very grateful to Stungun48.
Actually, this was the one I was stuck at for the whole day. I could not find the layout of the map to save my life, but then saw it was really easy after this video.
Same. I'm one of the rare people who really liked the half-pipe special stages in SA2, I got those emeralds with almost no trouble, but these just hurt my eyes.
I own a Game Cube with Sonic Mega Collection with Sonic 3 & Knuckles sadly I lost 2 of the wire's that go to it and the wires with a Game Cube controller is only about 20.00 sadly I don't wanna use my money on it just to play one game (I'm not completing Sonic 1 and I've already completed Sonic 2 and the only way I'm going back to Sonic 2 is if I unlock Knuckles The Echidna in Sonic 2).
Hard to believe, it took me 10 years to get all the super emeralds. Back in 2000, I beat Sonic 3 & Knuckles without them. 10 years later, I finally did beat it with all the super emeralds.
Man, I miss the Super Emeralds. At least it's nice to know Hidden Palace has been acknowledged in Mania. There are some emerald statues in the places where the Super Emeralds would be, though... it might be because the seven Chaos Emeralds aren't there anymore to transform into the Super Emeralds.
Aside from the very first ring in the video, all the other special rings in the zone are in the same place, but you'll only get super sonic instead of hyper.
@MadDragonify I sped up the special stages to keep the video within the time limit, but the stages do actually speed themselves up the longer you are in them.
I just found out the hard way that you can apparently exit out of hidden palace for some reason. Fortunately there's an extra 8th one to get if you mess up. (Or 7th if you're just in the sonic and knuckles version)
I own the steam version so when I fail I just go back to my save so my life was so much easier when you showed me and I did them crap it took me awhile though.
Gracias carnal me ayudaste a encontrar las siete super esmeraldas,por como este video es de hace 7 años dudo que lo veas pero aun asi gracias de verdad hermano.......
I beat this ages ago as a kid when I first got sonic 3 and then when the sonic and knuckles expansion combo cartridge came out I beat it again fully with with sonic sonic and tails just tails and knuckles having all the super emeralds. It’s just wonderful seeing those saves when I load it in the genesis.
yes, it will show sonic and tails going back to angel island (on the tornado) with the master emerald, then they will leave the master emerald and the island will start to float back into the sky. if you beat the game without the super emeralds, sonic will leave the master emerald into the space.
This doesn't seem to work on the PS3's Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. I beat the game as Super Sonic, it cycled around to the intro, I started again as Sonic and the first giant ring was for a regular Chaos Emerald. Is there any way to get around this? Do I need to beat Sonic 3 first?
SiegeTF This is only for "Sonic 3 & Knuckles". Originally Sonic 3 was to include both games as one but to cut time they cut any of the floating island stages and 6 months later release "Sonic & Knuckles" with the attachable top that technically makes the complete Sonic 3 experience. The "lock on" for the games were not supported in the Ultimate Genesis Collection. You can however buy both Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles from XBLA and PSN to get it working and both are relatively cheap.
Get all 7 chaos emeralds from sonic 3 side of S3&K then when you arrive in mushroom hill, you'll have this cut scene with knuckles and then you go where knuckles left
Anybody had the reversed effect after playing sonic mania and completing all 32 blue spheres and go back to S3&k and do great with blue spheres? 13 years ago with the mega collection as a kid I got so pissed with the blue spheres I traded my original copy of mega collection then later mania made me wanna retry 3&k and it got so easy
i mastered all the super emeralds but never finished that early. i was always short 1. the earliest i got hyper was in the sand stage. i missed one lol
@Stungun48 yeah i just completed the game TAKE THAT EGGMAN p.s thanks you are awsome now i can enjoy the game instead of using aaaaaall my time searching for super emeralds thanks agan

I really like that cutscene that plays when you have all the chaos emeralds and go into the first super emerald special stage
Me too
I like when that is FIRST
HYPER SONIC OH YEAH!
Yes I love it
It's the reason I looked up this video lol
I miss the super emeralds. Would be cool to become Hyper Sonic again some day.
Yeah
I think the reason they made non-canon is becuase he has very bright and flashy colors which may cause seizures, and I don't think Sega wants that
@@ayttrmn4008 But the super emeralds are canon again cause of the Super Emeralds in Mania...
No they aren’t, their just the super emerald stages.

You mean on the Sonic and knucles separate game?
I used to think the super emeralds were other master emeralds and the other echidna guardians left them there like knuckles did
That seems cool
TheChilledFlame TCF me too bro
I mean they are bigger... maybe mini master emeralds?
@@goku9569 you're technically right. 7 chaos emeralds= 1 super emerald. 7 super emeralds= the Master emerald
Robotnik: "Scatter these Super Emeralds so Sonic won't find them."
Knuckles: "You got it boss."
14:00
Robotnik: "Wtf?"
3:49 SEGA!!! (Sega letters zooms in)
that score's crazy!
Also, great work!
@MadDragonify I sped up the special stages to keep the video within the time limit, but the stages do actually speed themselves up the longer you are in them.
Thank you for this video, friend. I struggle with Special Stages. You've been very helpful.
DUDE YOUR SCORE IS FREAKING HIGH
In launch base zone there is an infinite score glitch that give a lot of lives that’s also why he has 70 lives
i like the way sonic just looks at stuff,to make it look lile hes more alive of somethin like that.
Blue spheres are the hardest special stages in the whole franchise.
@SONICKINGDOMHEARTS Yeah, when I was in Launch Base Zone I did the lives trick, so my score just sky rocketed.
Thanks!
I love that trick. I know of at least 2 locations there.
when you buy both games you get an option to link them together. hen it gives you the full sonic 3 and knuckles game
13:18 hyper transformation
I definitely overcomplicated stage 5. For some reason my mind just didn’t want to go in a straight line which looking back it makes a lot of sense
This was ENTIRELY helpful. Thanks a lot.
When you realize the exact Super Emerald Stages are in Sonic Mania
I know
I got all super emeralds and it took me god damn 600 years to finish the green super emerald
Who realized that that the red emerald is a black emerald? 10:22 and then you realize the black emerald turns back to red 11:36
I just found out the hard way that you can apparently exit out of hidden palace for some reason. Fortunately there's an extra 8th one to get if you mess up. (Or 7th if you're just in the sonic and knuckles version)
This game prepared me for blue sphere in sonic mania...I laugh at everybody playing the game and not being good enough hehe
APGDaPro it's vice versa for me
When I finally got to playing 3&K I was really experienced with blue sphere in mania
Same
I played Blue Sphere before the release. lol
same dude
So Stungun48, lemme get this straight:
Due to the energy of the Master Emerald the chaos emeralds become bigger Chaos Emeralds?
so you need all the chaos emeralds first correct?
GZilla1984 yeah you do
Every emerald you collect frees the Super emerald stage.
All emeralds = All Super Emeralds
I am confused my game lacks this button and this room in mushroom hill is this a remake of the game or something?
wait so you need the chaos emeralds first before getting super emeralds?
Yes, you get them in Sonic 3, then in Sonic 3 and Knuckles you get to transform them into super emeralds
I own the steam version so when I fail I just go back to my save so my life was so much easier when you showed me and I did them crap it took me awhile though.
Well i recommend the Sonic mega collection plus for Ps2.
You can save states in that collection :)
Which Act Is This?
1
Lives counter: 68, seems legit.
Lives counter: *69*
REAL SHIT
@Oshabot 16 dr robotnik: NO I CANT BELEIVE THIS
It is there is a glitch in the zone before this that give infinite points and thus infinite lives

The fact that you can unlock Hyper Sonic as early as Mushroom Hill 2 is insane.
I got the hint of the stage because one r you finish the game it says stage seven and there’s seven chaos emeralds so it kinda makes sense
I finished knuckles's story and now that I started sonic and tails,I cant find the first ring. It's not in the room. what should I do? :(
What should i do to get hyper sonic?
yes, it will show sonic and tails going back to angel island (on the tornado) with the master emerald, then they will leave the master emerald and the island will start to float back into the sky. if you beat the game without the super emeralds, sonic will leave the master emerald into the space.

+SiegeTF I suggest playing Sonic 3 first, find all chaos emeralds, and then play Sonic 3 and Knuckles to find the super emeralds.
It's cool, I did it on the Genesis back in the day.
i missed one of the rainbow rings on act 1, am i fucked? is the rainbow rings only in mushroom hill??
I wanna ask that super emeralds are only in mushroom hill?
can you find them in the next stages?
wow I didn't know that all the warp rings are in mushroom Hill wo wow ow and great job getting 70 lives wow cool
will getting all the super emeralds change the ending? I struggle to get 7 chaos emeralds alone.
Super Emeralds, and Hyper Form
@theomegamaster9 Thanks, glad I could help you. Now go show Eggman what's up!
Does anyone fnd it odd that the red super emerald glows a dark purple color when it first activates?
Man it took forever to get them. Not just for Sonic, but also both Knuckles and Tails.
With tails you need the super emeralds to even go super, the chaos emeralds do nothing...
The Special Stages but Slower mod for S3 AIR is a Godsend.
where do you get the option in the wii menu?
Wait what??? It didn’t take me to the special stage and all it did was take me back to mushroom hill act 1 and they stole my emeralds 😅
And to get the super emeralds is it after flying batterie zone
Remember the yellow sheets in spacial stage do you press jump hen you’re on it
Anyone know how to download this game and what platforms it's available on? If so, please let me know. Cuz I really want to play this game.
Download it from Sonic Retro
but didn't sonic and knuckles didn't have a save point like sonic 3 has?
I want to do these special stages but i suck at blue sphere
You have to buy Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles on the virtual console and link them. You can also get this through PSN and XBLA
you buy it in the wii? Sonic 3 and knuckles?
I watched my friend go through mushroom hill 2 days ago and we literally only came across the first one
Good job getting 70 lives. That's amazing.
71 lives

where do you get an option?
How do i get hyper sonic? What should i do?
Get all 7 chaos emeralds from sonic 3 side of S3&K then when you arrive in mushroom hill, you'll have this cut scene with knuckles and then you go where knuckles left
@@Phoenix_Blader_93 thhhhhhxxxxxxxxxx
Holy cow you got the super emeralds i have such a tough time
Me in mushroom hill zone: i olny have 10- WHAT THE U JUST GOT 68 LIVES
i got the red super emerald first ¿does that afect anithing?
ElNoob376 it doesn't mater what order
I almost tossed my controller at the TV because of one very annoying bonus stage
Some Videos same but I almost broke my laptop.
What console are you using?
You do know you can exit the level and still keep the Emeralds?
I never want this super stage I don't know it remove all normal chaos in Ragin now and is really hard
How do you get it how you have sonic3 and knuckles?
Appleking Gaming an emulator or a capture card.
it's on steam too.
I never saw this cut scene in Sonic 3
I have Sonic 3 Complete, So I can't find it
That cutscenes when you enter the giant ring in Sonic 3 and Knuckles for the first time. Is it like that for you? :O
Whao your a PRO AT THIS GAME!!!!!! AWSOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! I would have died on the 1 or 2 Super Emerald!!!!!!!!!
Which stage is this
This Guide is a Classic For me
hey, if you fail on trying to get the super emeralds you will still be able to beat the game with super sonic, right?
Doomsday zone : allow me to introduce myself

You can reach Doomsday zone woth just the Chaos Emeralds If you do the Level zelect code.
i mastered all the super emeralds but never finished that early. i was always short 1. the earliest i got hyper was in the sand stage. i missed one lol
I got super sonic in flying battery 1 but after colleting one Super emerald i can't turn back super this is so rude
thanks for help me to get the all chaos emerald!!
por que ele não pegou os aneis ?
Sega...Y U NO MAKE SPECIAL STAGE EASYEH?
Because if they did, LOTS of players would be able to play as Hyper Sonic
what if you only have sonic and knuckles?
@Stungun48 yeah i just completed the game TAKE THAT EGGMAN
p.s thanks you are awsome now i can enjoy the game instead of using aaaaaall my time searching for super emeralds thanks agan
This was a huge help! Thanks!
His score is high because of there is a glitch where you keep your score from the stage before
I never knew you could get all of them in mushroom hill!
Why does the ring sound sounds like a anime game when you collect coins
I'll just save the state
Yep, that would be almost impossible. Maybe 3,4 blue spheres can be changed.
It gets it with Sonic 3 locked on since it the other half of the game
