Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition, known internally as Sonic 3C or Sonic 3+ was an unreleased version of Sonic 3. What was it exactly? And why was it cancelled?
@@jamesbryan287 Pretty sure I had just nabbed them straight from the Hidden Palace. I was really into romhacks and emulation, so I was in the right places at the right time lmao
It probably will never happen.... But using time travel to find alternate versions of some Sonic games would be sweet. We could find out what the true completed version of Sonic 3 would have looked like. For that matter, we could find out what Sonic 2 was originally going to be like (and where Sonic CD fits into all this).
I too often dream of using a time machine to explore alternate gaming histories, like a timeline where the Vectrex was a runaway success, or a timeline where the Pioneer LaserActive wasn’t a complete flop.
I have to wonder how correct Naka's statement is that the cancellation of SVP Sonic 3 and the switch to 2D happened in June 1993- a lot of information that has come to light since that interview seems to indicate the change happened earlier. Sonic 3's level concept art- as featured in Origins- seems to depict a 2D sidescrolling game, but uses an early placeholder design for Knuckles. However, there exists a piece of concept art of Knuckles not too far off from the final design, dated April 1993, which strongly suggests that the switch from 3D to 2D happened in April at the absolute earliest
I wish there was a romhack of Sonic 3K that was basically a "finished" version of what this was supposed to be. Ending theme that has the full zone medley, Big Arms included at the end of launch base, etc. I know Sonic 3 Complete is already kind of that, and its options and stuff are cool, but I'd like something more traditional as well, something without all the fixes and changes Complete had, like the changes to how the super form was toggled and stuff. Basically something more akin to how it would of released in 94 if it wasn't canceled.
When I was a kid I use to imagine Michael Jackson hanging out at the carnival zone because of the music beats. Then when I was older I found out he really did the voices. The carnival zone just had a Michael Jackson vive to me. I was in my 20s when I found out now I'm 40 pushing 41.

I stumbled across this video thanks to the youtube algorithm. As a long-time Sonic fan it’s fascinating to learn all this information about Sonic 3C. The most interesting tidbit for me is that although I had known SEGA had been eyeballing the SVP as a sort of Aladdin Deck Enhancer-esque device with swappable cartridges of its own back then, I had no idea that Sonic 3 was one of the games considered for it. My mind would have absolutely been blown to see a 3D Sonic on the Genesis back then. Thanks much for your work with this video. I’m looking forward to learning more!
I don't believe the SVP actually had audio capabilities. Virtua Racing didn't even have the audio pins connected to anything, and the decap of the SVP didn't seem to have anything related to audio either.
Something worth further mentioning is that the earliest Sonic & Knuckles prototype (25 May 1994) is still entirely reliant on the data for Sonic 3, to the point that the game straight up crashes if it is attempted to be played without it (and loading a save state will barely help as other crashes will soon occur, as well as art corruption everywhere). However, the Sonic & Knuckles flag has already been implemented at this point, indicating that the bare minimum had been worked on. With how dysfunctional S&K was by 25 May, my theory is that they were waiting for all the stages to be beatable until officially beginning work on S&K; the 8 April prototype has the final few stages in a broken state, but by 17 May, the entire game, barring the ending was implemented. At this point, especially with word that LE was likely about to be scrapped, the developers began finally working on the S&K elements; given how quickly the game was split apart, having the title screen assets and some flags setup doesn't sound "unreasonable" for a week of work in crunch time.
4:32 - Note the appearance of "Sonic Stadium" on the list; this is refering to what ultimately became "Knuckles' Chaotix". Picture the final game, only with Sonic in place of Mighty, and Tails is playable as well (not bugged up to the point of being unusable).
Sega of Japan didn't produce 4MB (32 meg) cartridges for the Megadrive at the time if at all, so I don't know if it could've gotten released. In May 1994 I don't think any 16-bit games were that large. FF6 is 3MB and was considered the hugest game at the time. 18 games are this size and they were all built in the US. 3C was 32, Sonic 3 and S&K are 16 each, making it the only 4MB game in Japan
I do think 3Mb (24Mbit) was the intention for Sonic 3C, but maybe they weren't able to get the size down as the game progressed in development and more content was added. An earlier prototype of Sonic 3C might help to answer this question.
@@SilverSonic1992 I always thought sonic 3 & knuckles and 3C were 3MB, but hidden palace gives you a 4MB rom with 3C. Sonic 3 & knuckles rom is also 4MB. If they scrapped the 2 player mode, maybe get rid of the stupid slots bonus stage for instance it could've been enough to be 3MB. the manual for sonic & knuckles stated that with 3 locked on, it was 34 megs, but that isn't true. they just wanted it to seem that massive because donkey kong country was coming out soon and it'd been hyped up since the summer. I'm pretty sure that 2 megs, as i recall reading about this years ago, something to do with 2 megs of empty ram that aren't used.

05:03 I just had a look at a S3&K built by a disassembly, whilst the retail/beta dump is 4M, the assembled Rom is 3.2M (or 26-27M). I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally intended to be 24M but the game was just got too big. Note: I haven't looked too deeply into this (e.g. what's included or not such as music), it's just a casual observation.
I wonder if we will someday get an earlier prototype of Sonic 3. Because apparently, some of the music tracks from Origins derive from an earlier prototype.
@@antiseize11 Again, I’m not talking about the November 3rd prototype, I’m saying that I hope we can get a prototype that is much earlier than the Nov. 3 build. The reason is so that we can possibly see early versions of Mushroom Valley and Lava Reef Act 2.
Every time I hear that Sonic 3 end credits I start to sing "I was wandering in the rain...". It's still kinda strange/awesome that MJ and Buxer reworked that rather upbeat Sonic music of theirs into a slow ethereal song about MJ's depression and loneliness following the false allegations (the tabloids had been attacking him since mid 80s especially since he bought the ATV catalogue which included all the Beatles songs, which really angered racist tabloids here in the UK, no wonder they didn't care to report the actual facts about fraudster Evan Chandler in 1993). And both pieces of music work really well for their intended purposes.
wait, that guy at 1:47.... where was this picture taken? how was it taken? theres no way he would have that much technology in jail. Because he's in jail
Magazines at the time advertised Sonic 3 & Knuckles as a 34Mbit ROM. Technically, you are correct - only 4MB is ever loaded into the ROM address space. But if you were to count the physical data on the cartridge itself like they did back in the day, you would get a total size of 4.25Mb. This additional 2Mbit chip is only used in Knuckles in Sonic 2, as I mentioned in the video.

1:05 - ermmm no? There are absolutely no sound capabilities inside SVP at all, even if secretly there were, they are unused. And it doesn't provide any gfx capabilities boost (game still runs at 320x224 and 64 colors), it just helps massively with 3d polygon rendering. As for Sonic 3 dev cycle, it went as described in this video - they realized the entire game, with Sonic 3B zones, won't be finished in time, so around October 1993 they decided to hack off the S&K content from the ROM and quickly patch up the first 6 zones so it gets playable. It's same to assume Sonic 3B didn't really exist as an actual game at this point, because why? Either we release two games or just one. Sonic 3C would be a really stupid way to show middle finger to anyone that already bought Sonic 3A, but that got cancelled. Sonic 3B came to be as an official, standalone expansion pack for Sonic 3 complete with Lock-On technology. Quoting the TCRF article on Sonic 3C 0408: "This build, alongside the subsequent prototype, is often mistook for a prototype of a canceled Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles compilation called Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Limited Edition, whose existence was reported in gaming magazines at the time. In actuality, "3C" was the codename for the entire Sonic 3 project, with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Sonic 3A) and Sonic & Knuckles (Sonic 3B) being split from it."
Regarding the SVP and sound, it's actually a pretty common misconception. There was an old article from 2006 on Sega 16 that compares the SVP and SFX that oddly states "2 Channel PWM" in it's SVP specs. Exceedingly confusing since no SVP cart has it's audio pins hooked up (except for a prototype, which likely doesn't use them). Just the usual "one guy said it, so word got around" sort of situation. What I'm wondering is where Sega 16 got that info from, or if it's just from them. If you want to see for yourself, look up "Sega’s SVP Chip: The Road Not Taken? Ken Horowitz".
Thanks for the correction on the SVP's (lack of) sound capabilities. As for the TCRF article, this just seems like semantics to me. Of course Sonic 3C is the original codebase because it is the full version that Sonic 3A and Sonic 3B were built from. Sonic 3C as a name probably wasn't used until they sorted out how the game would be split. I don't really understand how it's a mistake to say that Sonic 3C is Sonic 3 Limited Edition when that seems to have been the release plan. Just because Sonic 3C exists regardless of whether or not Sonic 3 Limited Edition is cancelled.
