Hello everyone and Welcome to my YouTube Channel!
In this video, i'm playing and showing the Bonus Stage in the Sega Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 [USA] by playing as Sonic & Tails.
About the Bonus Stage: In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, when the player passes a Star Post in with 50 or more Rings, they can enter the Gumball Machine. In these stages, the player is in a tall corridor with bumper walls from Metropolis Zone on both sides and a giant gumball machine at the very top. The player must use these bumpers to spring themselves upwards, which turns the crank on the machine and dispenses a random Gumball that begins falling downwards until it goes past the death barrier or the player collects it. Hitting a bumper will make it disappear, however, and though there is a floor with red Springs on the bottom that is destroyed after one use, unless the player collects a Catapult Ball, which restores the floor for an additional use. The gumball machine also begins sliding downwards once the bumpers below it are removed, making it more difficult to successfully turn the crank without risking falling into the pit. If the player does manage to fall, they will not lose a life, but the Bonus Stage will end immediately.
It is possible to initiate a super transformation in this Bonus Stage by jumping at the right time, just when the stage loads, but only in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 alone.
Collecting Gumballs in the Gumball Machine will reward the player with various goodies. The Gumballs that can be found here in this Bonus Stage are as follows:
1-Up Gumball: Awards the player an extra life
Aqua Gumball: Awards the player a Water Shield
Bumper Gumball: Bounces the player off it upon contact. Useful for reaching greater heights
Catapult Gumball: Can replace the red Springs at the bottom.
Clear Gumball: Does nothing
Flame Gumball: Awards the player a Flame Shield.
Ring Gumball: Awards the player 10, 20, 40 or 80 extra Rings.
Thunder Gumball: Awards the player a Lightning Shield
My purpose in this video is to thoroughly entertain and also to provide thorough, detailed, clean and complete Guide so that it can help the Audience out when they are stuck in a specific area/part of the game.
Thank you very much for taking your time to watch my video. I truly appreciate that!
