How do I get past that barrel in Carnival Night Zone Act 2?
I can’t get past one point in Sonic 3. It’s in the Carnival Night Zone, where you enter a room with a barrel-like object that goes up and down when you jump on it. This is very frustrating! This is definitely the #1 trouble spot in any Sonic game. Jump on the barrel and hold down on the D-pad after you land. The barrel will go down a bit, and will then stop and go back up. When the barrel begins to move back up, hold up. When the barrel slows and begins to go down, hold down again. Whenever the barrel shifts momentum, hold the direction that it’s about to move in. Eventually, it will go further up and down each time. The level continues at the bottom of the shaft that the barrel is in. When you get the barrel low enough, you will be able to jump off and continue through the level. I have another game-related question. Please check the Game Info page for the game you’re asking about.
