SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3
GETTING STARTED
♦
GAME OBJECTIVE
Dodge Badniks and traps set by Knuckles, collect Rings, and uncover Chaos
Emeralds as you guide Sonic and his sidekick Tails through 6 different Zones on
the trail of the deranged scientist Dr Robotnik.
♦
2 PLAYER MODES (SIMULTANEOUS COMPETITION)
Each player can control Sonic, Tails or Knuckles and compete in split-screen
mode. Characters are selected at the start of the game. There are 5 two-player
Zones, and in each you must complete 5 circuits.
On the Title Screen, use the Up/Down button to select
either
1 PLAYER
or
COMPETITION
and press the
Start button to begin the game. Once you select
1
PLAYER
from the Title Screen, you will enter the DATA
SELECT screen.
On the DATA SELECT screen, use the Left/Right button
to select a Game Save Window and press the Start
button to play. To start a new game, select
NEW
(initial format) and use the Up/Down button to select
your character(s), then press the Start button. If the
game is setup for two players (see Options on P.4),
select Sonic and Tails for a two-player game. To return
to the Title Screen, press the B button.
Select
NO SAVE
(top left box), to play without recording your progress to the
DATA SELECT screen. If you complete a game and collect all the Chaos
Emeralds, you are allowed to start a game from any Zone by using the
Up/Down button from the finished window.
♦
SAVED GAME
The DATA SELECT screen allows you to store up to six different games. If you
successfully cleared a Zone since your last save, such progress will be
automatically loaded to the DATA SELECT screen the next time you play this
game. All the games and Competition records for Sonic 3 are automatically
saved when you Exit the game (Sonic 3). To delete one of your games, select
Dr. Robotnik on the far right and press the A button. Move Robotnik on the
Game Save Window you wish to delete and press the A button, then confirm.
*Saved games of Sonic 3 are stored in the Setting Data (P.3).
