Well, Well. I am who they call Synapse X, and I'm resuming work on this largely abandoned super-condensation of various games. I called this mess Project Supra, but now I'm-a callin' it ULTRA 64, due to the fact that I plan to have 64 games condensed into somewhat-tiny bits.

First up: Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

After the Death Egg BLEW UP in the events of Sonic 2, Eggman decided to try something DIFFERENT.

Eggman: Har. I shall steal this thingy.

Unfortunately, Eggman doesn't know what THIS THINGY is, so he GOES out LOOKING for it. Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails were enjoying a relaxing day on the beach. WHEN SUDDENLY Tails decides to take a JOYRIDE in Sonic's plane, and Sonic, of course, is at the wing.

Sonic: HAAAAAAAA!

With that SCREAM of POWER, Sonic transforms into Super Sonic, and goes off to this unknown ISLAND in the middle of the SEA.

Sonic: WHOOOOOO-Ow!

So then Sonic RUNS-or FLIES, rather,- Right into some RED ECHIDNA guy and throws his seven CHAOS EMERALDS that he just happened to have had on him at the time all over the place.

Knuckles: Boo. I'm-a taking these. All seven of 'em.

KNUCKLES takes the SEVEN CHAOS EMERALDS faster than you can say "SAY-GUH". THEN Sonic and Tails go through Angel Island. They get about halfway there, when they see...

Fire-breathing mechanism-contraption thingy: We didn't start the fire. It's been burning since the world's been turning.

The Sub-boss totally ruinates the place by SETTING IT ON FIRE. After a quick runthrough again, they meet up with the sub-boss, totally making its head spin with the Flame Barrier you should've got by now. But then there's the matter of Angel Island Zone being ON FIRE that Sonic and Tails have to go through. But then, they find this big golden ring like in Sonic 1.

Sonic: Nostalgia Alert!

Sonic, being the dumbass he is, jumps into it, and is whisked away to the SPECIAL STAGE, this time a sphere in which you have to turn blue spheres into red spheres. ALL OF THEM.

Sonic: DAMMIT!

He wins, and gets one of those Chaos Emeralds he lost. Afterwards they are chased by the Flying Battery, which drops tha bomb on you. Or rather, it should've. After that encounter and the obligatory Eggman-machine trashing and birdie freeing, you find KNUCKLES on top of a cliff.

Knuckles: Take this, Jerks!

Knuckles JUMPS on a conveniently located Bridge killer button. You then fall right into HYDROCITY ZONE, Which looks ROMAN to me.

Sonic: GAH! WATER!

Unfortunately, Sonic CANNOT SWIM and hold his breath underwater for more than THIRTY SECONDS at a time. SOMEHOW he gets through Acts one and two, eventually encountering RAD RED. Knux hits another bridge destroying device, and Sonic and Tails find themselves against Eggy again.

Eggman: HAHAHAHA! I'm too high up for you to jump on me!

He is. But STUPIDLY Eggman launches a bomb at Sonic's FOOT. Then Sonic JUMPS, and is propelled high in the air. Eggman winces. Seven hits later and Eggy's machine sinks. After you free the birdies again, the duo hears rumbling. Then suddenly a big geyser comes up and launches Sonic and Tails into MARBLE GARDEN ZONE.

Sonic: The name sounds like Marble Zone.

DESPITE SIMILARITES, the Marble Garden does not have any roman buildings or lava flows. ANYWAY, About halfway into Act II, Sonic activates an earthquake button.

Sonic: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

SOMEHOW Sonic makes it through the stage unscathed. Then Eggman appears with a drill machine similar to the one he had in Sonic 2. Then he FLIES INTO THE AIR. This is the time where Tails comes to save your sorry ass and helps you defeat the Drill Machine in AERIAL COMBAT. Then, in a surprise twist, Sonic and Tails warp to Carnival Night Zone, the obligatory Fun-with-Sonic-Physics stage.

Sonic: HEY! There's no Pinball flippers or Slot Machine bonuses here!

HE'S RIGHT. There is the cheap cop-out bumpers though. Anyway, You get through Act 1, then come to the infamous CARNIVAL DRUM part. Turns out, all you have to do is hold the down button enough to make it to the bottom passage. So then you get to another part in Act II where you encounter Knux again. Rad Red KNOCKS THE LIGHTS OUT. After you get past that part, and thrash Eggy's new machine,you go into a cannon that shoots you straight into Ice Cap Zone, the one zone whose song has been remixed more than any other song in Sonic history. Sonic whips out a snowboard OUT OF NOWHERE and rides down the mountain.

Sonic: weee! This is FUN!

It is. Sonic's joyride through the mountain is interrupted by a FREAKIN' CLIFF and he falls off the snowboard. He goes through the mountain and meets up with a strangely familiar boss.

Sonic: Dude, you copied your own machine! Eggman, you're running out of ideas.

After trashing that Metropolis Boss wannabe, Sonic goes through ACT 2 and somehow gets to EGGMAN. The Eggman attempts to FREEZE Sonic, but he isn't affected. Sonic JUMPS on the Egg Freezer thingy eight times. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE. After that excursion, they go to Launch Base, wherein the Death Egg is almost ready to be relaunched. They go through dozens of traps and whatnot, only to find Knuckles waiting for them at the top of a tower.

Sonic: What.

After Knux up and destroys the tower, and you defeat the SPINNING METAL THING OF DEATH, you go to ACT 2, wherein, at the end of it, You face off against Eggman's GIANT INERT BALLS.

Sonic: What.

After that, Eggman STUPIDLY leaves his Eggmobile behind. Sonic pulls a GTA and JACKS it. Then the Red Echidna dude shows up and PUNCHES it, doing... not much.

Knuckles: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

AND THEN THE DEATH EGG LAUNCHES. Knux FALLS OFF the girder he was on. And then you rise up to a platform, wherein Eggman gets revenge for his Eggmobile being STOLENED.

Eggman: EAT LASER.

Eggman shoots lasers at you from his triple-tiered laser-firing contraption. Sonic makes a lot of holes in it, and Eggman retreats. Then the sky goes black.

Sonic: Uh oh. THIS CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING.

Sonic's right. Eggman comes back as a scary looking machine that freaked me out the first time I came across it.

Eggman: HA. FEAR MY MAGIC HAND.

Sonic beats it by jumping on a small hitbox not directly above the scary man. No sirree. And then the Death Egg sinks for no apparent reason. Which brings us to...

TO BE CONTINUED...

How you like?

CONTINUE? Yes. Maybe. I hope so.
