Play Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Complete-gamecube Online
Pick Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles and blast through classic zones—glide up walls, spin through loops, and outrun Robotnik’s latest death traps, all with that crispy Genesis speed but smoother. The music still slaps, too.
Game Overview
If you've ever played Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles on the Genesis, this GameCube version is basically the best of both worlds smashed together. It’s not just a lazy port—they actually smoothed out the rough edges, kept the speed tight, and let you play as Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles right from the start. Knuckles gliding through Mushroom Hill Zone feels just as good as you remember.
The levels are still packed with those ridiculous loop-de-loops and hidden paths, but now everything runs a little cleaner. And yeah, the music’s still an absolute banger. Dr. Robotnik’s weirdo boss fights are just as chaotic, too—I swear, that guy never runs out of ridiculous death machines.
Honestly, if you’ve got nostalgia for the Genesis era or just want to see why this one’s considered one of the best Sonic games, this version’s the way to go. Just try not to get annoyed when you miss a jump because you were going too fast—classic Sonic problem.
