ok i'm stuck in the stupidest place ever made in videogame history (Link Here). the furthest i can get is Sonic's fist at 'point a'. i've figured out some things though. i can kinda get the timing (landing on the thing when it's on its way down). and i know that if i jump right when i land, it'll push the crap further down
any more tips on how to get past this thing?
and i thought the rest of the level was horrible. for a carnival zone, this place surely sucks. and whoever programmed the physics for that fucking contraption needs to be dealt with immediately
Haha, I remember getting stuck in that exact same place when I first played through it. I would have to use the second player controller to make Tails jump up and down on the platform until I could slip Sonic through.
But don't worry, it's much easier than that to get through. Simply stand on the platform and hold DOWN to make it swing down, and when it reaches its lowest, hold UP to make it swing the other way, then at its highest point hold DOWN again, and so on. Sort of how you move your legs on a swing-set. Soon enough you'll have it swinging so far that it's easy to jump off to the next area.
Hope that helps, let me know if you still can't get it.

thanks for the answers! but i tried it out at the beginning of the level and the platform ain't goin very far. do i need Tails on my side or something? because i told him to get lost  i didn't want his punkass following me
At the beginning of the motion, it shouldn't go that far. Start off with it going only slightly down, and at its peak downwards or so, hold up til it is reaches its very small high peak. Then, hold down again, and it will go further down, at that point, up again and it will go further up. From there, the motions get bigger and bigger. However, as stated above, watch out for spikes or walls at the very top waiting to crush you if it goes too far. I always just used the motion until I saw the very top, and jumped as soon as possible to make sure I wasn't crushed. Yeah, Carnival Night zone can be kinda an ass. Ah well, the next zone (Icecap Zone) is fun. Plus, at the end, I enjoyed Launch Base Zone, but I am not sure how many other people enjoyed that zone. However, I think people can agree Icecap zone can be fun, especially the nice music for the place they have.

ho, ho, ho. Count another desperate in here. I also kept trying the jump system until I found out, dunno how, the d-pad one. What a nightmare.

Who's this Eggman chap? The boss in Sonic 3 is Dr. Robotnik.
Robotnik is the American name of Eggman, the evil doctor who hounds you throughout all of the Sonic games for the Genesis. Sega later scrapped the name "Robotnik" and started calling him "Eggman" in the Sonic Adventure series, so the name Robotnik is slowly disappearing even among American fans.
Indeed. And this one funny thing that kept happening through Adventure, at least in the PC version, is that the subtitles kept changing his name, sometimes it was "Robotnik", sometimes "Eggman"... Seems they were still discussing which name would be the definitive one while translating... quite pathetic, if you ask me. ¬¬
Come to think of it, maybe his name is Eggman Robotnik, or Robotnik Eggman... ;p
Oboromaru. Yup seems they're all "one-eyed" masked guys now. Just coincidence.

Well, on the back of the first US Sonic game, they said his full name along with the nickname, "Eggman". So, technically, his nickname, "Eggman", has been around since the first Sonic game. Hehe, maybe Sonic has always called Robotnik, Eggman, but we just never hear Sonic start having conversations til the Adventure series. Before that, any conversations in Sonic games consisted of laughing, shaking fists, and looking pissed off.

There's nothing on the back of MY Sonic the Hedgehog box about the villan's name. Amazingly, on page 2 of the instruction manual they call him "Dr. Ivo Robotnik" - with no mention of Eggman anywhere.
Be kind to goblins.
