The Weird Glitch in Sonic 3...

Yea, that was me before, I never discovered anything lol

0:21 My brain when my mom asks me where the tv remote is

This happens because Sonic 3 & Knuckles is essentially built on top of Sonic & Knuckles. Sonic & Knuckles's cartridge has a lock-on feature, and locking on Sonic 3 to it lets you play Sonic & Knuckles. What basically happened here is that when the game reset, it couldn't find that bit of data that tells it that Sonic 3 is locked on. Hence why you boot to Sonic & Knuckles instead. I've seen rare cases where the game will actually boot to Blue Sphere instead, the game that boots when you lock on a cartridge that isn't Sonic 2 or 3.

0:21 when my girlfriend says hey Jordan !

imagine if someone found this back in the 90s they would think they found a full blown second game in sonic 3

The bug happens because of the way the additional water spouts interact with that specific setpiece. If the game has a crash, it will usually default to playing the bottom cartridge, or S&K, to prevent cartridge damage. This happens in emulators because the game is exactly the same as the cartridge, so it loads the S&K rom instead of S3&K rom because it thinks it could damage a cartridge.

STRANGE, ISN'T IT?

The debug mode in Sonic 3 is very different to the others episodes, this one can make crashing your cartridge and this is very laggy, this one is really for the developpers

1:07 I think this is called SBLJ ing in Mario 64.

This glitch usually happens if there is object overflow. I was doing that with S-Monitor (the one that makes you hyper) and when you break them you can lag the game to the point that Sonic & Knuckles loses its ability to understand the Sonic 3 disc, and just ignores it.

S T R A N G E I S N T I T ? ! ? ! ? !

Now find a glitch that turns Knuckles Chaotix into Sonic CD and then back again.

5:02 I see you're a hedgehog of culture as well

1:35 what’s tat remix called

Debug Mode AND KNUCKLES

3:55 this glitch made me laugh so hard when I did it

Can more ppl talk about the fact he said "STRANGE,ISN'T IT?" When talking about the glitch? Nice lil reference m8!

I also got this bug a lot of times but in other stages, like Hidden Palace, and Somehow I even discovered an way to turn it back in Sonic 3 & Knuckles in Flying Battery
