Even the fact that it's a Puzzle Boss doesn't help it much, as the solution to beat it is rather obvious. The Golem mini-boss of Sandopolis Zone Act 1 is pathetically easy.

The robot reappears in Mania as the Act 1 boss of Lava Reef Zone, making this double as a very long example of Chekhov's Gunman. You'll never encounter another one and the whole thing is never brought up again. However, it doesn't fight back and you will only be able to hit it once or twice before it drills a hole in the ground, falls into the lava, and blows up. Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Midway through Lava Reef Zone Act 1, you'll encounter some kind of big drilling robot which flashes and makes the 'boss getting hit' sound when you hit it.

Remember in Sonic 2, how Death Egg Zone in that game is a Boss-Only Level with no rings and two stupidly hard bosses? Here, Death Egg has been fleshed out into a full zone where you first infiltrate the inside of the station, before making your way to the outside where the gravity goes in one of two ways and you take on four bosses in a row and as the entire Death Egg begins to collapse. It was the level chosen to represent the combined game in Generations, albeit lacking Mecha Sonic. Also, it contains the excellent boss fights against Mecha Sonic. The fact that it's nearly impossible to die on the stage makes it very easy to speedily run through the straightaways, with excellent platforming to boot. It's popular enough that it was chosen to be remade in Sonic Mania. Seeing the Death Egg stuck in the ceiling of the massive cavern and watching as the entire lava-filled cave suddenly turns to crystal is breathtaking, and the songs for both acts go along with it perfectly. Like Hydrocity, it's popular enough that it was chosen to be remade in Sonic Mania. Finally, both Acts have some of the most awesome music in the series. This takes place in a massive flying airship, with awesome machinery or sky backgrounds whether you're inside or outside, and the sections alternate from fast-paced action to slower gimmick-based platforming. note The exclusion of IceCap is most likely due to legal issues regarding the music with composer Brad Buxer, who recycled it from an unreleased track from his band The Jetzons. It was probably the most requested level from Sonic 3 for both Generations and Mania, and was, to the disappointment of many, not included in either game. Sonic even gets to ride a snowboard again ( this time up against an avalanche), and Tails can get in on the action as well. It later got an excellent modern re-imagining in Sonic Adventure.

It's quite fast-paced even for this game and has one of the biggest fan favorite music tracks of the series.

It was the sole Sonic 3 level that returned in Sonic Mania (barring Angel Island Zone, which received a smaller scale level in the Plus update).

It's a very fast wild water ride with Sonic blazing across the surface of the water, bouncing everywhere with the Water Shield, rolling down hills at ludicrous speed, getting caught in currents that fling you miles into the air, and has amazing music. It's an underwater level, so if you've played the previous games, you're expecting a hard, long slog, right? You'd be wrong. Some people even consider these superior to the ValleyBell remixes used for Sonic 3 Complete.

On November 16, 2019, an early prototype of Sonic 3 was dumped and people were shocked that it contained Sonic & Knuckles Collection music while some sounded incomplete, others like Carnival Night sounded amazing.

Some of the MIDI conversions in the PC version don't sound bad either, including Marble Garden Act 1 and Lava Reef Act 2/Hidden Palace.

In the UK, it was a good chunk of the game's advertising.

Though not technically part of the soundtrack, the Right Said Fred song ' Wonderman ' contains several references to the game and the music video is essentially a musical ad for the game.

Many parts of each song are either heavily sampled from or inspired by his Dangerous album and standalone tracks.

The soundtrack also got additional respect once word got out that Michael Jackson and his sound crew partially composed it.

The IceCap Zone theme seems to be particularly popular, remixed so many times on OverClocked ReMix that it became a meme, resulting in an April Fools' album consisting of nothing but new IceCap mixes.
