Sonic The Hedgehog 3 LCD game

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a LCD game created by Tiger in 1994. It was available in the Tiger's second generation casing and also as a Pocket Arcade version. The game features a standard direction pad and 3 buttons, "Tails", "pick", and "spin". Both consoles also contain four function buttons to turn off the system, toggle sound effects, pause the game, and turn on the console and start the game. The background of the game is a rendering of the Blue Sphere, with the floor of Hydrocity Zone. The standard version requires two AA batteries to operate.

Gameplay

Players control [[Sonic the Hedgehog] through 6 Zones. Tails is also in the game but only appears when called for with the "Tails" button, he can only be called up to 3 times. He will airlift Sonic through the sky. The pick button is actually used to pick up rings and Chaos Emeralds found in each level. Sonic starts with 4 lives but can gain more by picking up 1-up icons scattered in each level. If 10 rings are collected the player will be warped to a gumball machine Bonus Stage if they touch a star ring. However, if a player is hit while holding rings they will be lost, and if none are held then a life will be deducted. Several power-ups can be found in the game, Invincibility, Super rings (worth 4 rings), Flame Shield, and Lightning Shields.

Levels contain underwater segments which will cause Sonic to drown unless he collects air bubbles or jumps out of the water in time or has a Water Shield. The gumball bonus stages are similar to the console version as items will fall out of the machine and if a player falls to the bottom of the screen the level will end.
