Sonic 3 HELP: no Super Sonic

[Rusty Venture]

At least its not a barrel question.

It works as expected if you read that version's manual or use one of the patches.
However, yes, if you're expecting it to work the old way, it won't, by default.

Yeah I read the manual for that version, even asked the guy who did the hack how to do it, and it still doesn't work for me. I never tried the patches though.

To be fair you don't need Super Sonic in Sonic 3, the game is ridiculously easy as it is.

And if you know what you're doing you can get 7 Chaos Emeralds long before Mushroom Hill! I think the earliest I've ever been able to do it is by Marble Garden, but I think it might be possible to do it even before that.

You can collect them all by the end of Hydrocity act 2. I normally get two in each act of Angel Island, one in Hydrocity 1 and two in Hydrocity 2, finishing just before meeting Knuckles there. It can be done a bit sooner than I do it, but still not before HCZ2.

If you don't quite make it there, the top route in Marble Garden 1 leads to four giant rings very early on.

I don't recall you asking me. Unless you're talking about a different hack I don't know about.

If it's the currently released versions of Sonic 3 Complete or Customizable, the easiest way is to jump with C, keep C held while jumping, tap B for your double-jump while C is still depressed. Technically, if you're fast enough, you can also mash B and C at once mid-jump, but the timing is tough.

The only reason I can think for that not working is using a keyboard where the buttons you have bound to B and C won't register simultaneously. In which case, Sonic 3 Complete's optional patch bundle contains a ROM patch to use the original method.

The fact you have to beat 7 challenging levels just to get the ability to transform; I disagree. They're a reward for all your hardwork - so what if they make the game easy after that point? The only people who say it makes the game too easy are the ones who cheat to get Super Sonic...

Yeah man, I mentioned it a while ago in the Sonic Hacks thread, http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthr...ht=sonic+hacks Sorry, it's been a while and I forgot it was you in that thread.

I never got the transformation to work. Maybe it's because I tried using the all super emeralds code in the sound test? I don't know. I'm not using the keyboard, I have a USB Saturn controller I was using. Maybe that's the problem.
