| comment=Six-page review of the game. The article covers a range of topics, including the addition of a boss on every act, the increased level size and individual level gimmicks, new power-ups and the 3D [[Special Stage (Sonic the Hedgehog 3)|Special Stages]]. The reviewers are impressed with the large, detailed levels and graphics, but criticise the difficulty as too easy. Overall they score the game at 94%. A planned "[[Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition|deluxe edition]]" of the game is mentioned, with extra levels, as well as an [[Sonic & Knuckles|expansion cartridge]] for the current ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3''; neither of which are named.

Sonic the Comic

Preview (August 1994)

This is a clip from the cheats section of the August 5th issue of Sonic the Comic. Interestingly, the image of IceCap Zone shows Sonic running down the mountain, which he does not do in final. Normally he would be riding a snowboard.
