Master Carnival Night Zone (2) in Sonic the Hedgehog 3! Learn how to navigate tricky cannons, avoid crushing drums, and defeat the Drill Blade Machine.

Alright, after the slightly less exciting Marble Garden, we're diving into Carnival Night Zone! This place is a total blast, a colorful remake of Sonic 2's Casino Night. Get ready for balloons, dropping platforms, spinning drums, wheels, and bumpers – it's a real carnival of chaos!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by heading right. Look for opportunities to hover upwards and blast through some walls. Then, just run down those slopes.
  2. 2
    Keep an eye out for anti-gravity platforms; you'll need to float across them. After that, you'll come across a white cylinder. This part can be a bit of a head-scratcher. You absolutely *must* use the two cannons here to launch yourself upwards. If you try to grab onto that cylinder, it'll just send you back down, so don't do it!
  3. 3
    Once you've used the cannons to get up and then over to the right, you'll need to make your way through four more white cylinders. After that, smash through the floor.
  4. 4
    You'll pass a Starpost. Keep going right and break through another wall. You'll see a spinning wheel ahead. After that, drop down and head right again.
  5. 5
    Jump over the spring you see and aim to land on the moving drum right next to it. Be super careful here – there are spikes underneath the drum, and it moves really fast, making it tricky to land on.
  6. 6
    Float across some more anti-gravity platforms, and then glide over a row of spikes.
  7. 7
    Proceed slowly past some moving drums; you don't want to get crushed!
  8. 8
    Head down a dropping platform and then jump onto the moving drum nearby.
  9. 9
    Go past another Starpost. Keep heading right, and you'll find a secret passageway. Inside, there's a Giant Ring waiting for you!
  10. 10
    Now, backtrack a bit and use that dropping platform you saw earlier. Head right again, and you'll meet the Mini-Boss.
Tips
  • That moving drum with spikes underneath? Take your time lining up the jump. It's better to wait for a clear moment than to rush and lose a life.
  • Don't get too greedy with the white cylinders in the early part; focus on using the cannons to get the height you need.

You'll face the Mini-Boss: the Drill Blade Machine. It takes 4 hits to defeat.
