I never ever had any trouble with the barrel, but Sonic 3 was the last Genesis Sonic I was able to acquire (I owned 2, then Knuckles, then 1, then 3), and I was probably fifteen at that point, so maybe my deductive reasoning skills were more advanced than, say, a five-year-old trying to figure it out. Then again, it isn't that damn hard.

The biggest problem I ever had with the barrels is, when I'm playing with Sonic & Tails, Tails jumps at the peak of the barrel's swing, totally fucking up my momentum.

Casino Paradise of Sonic Advance 1 has a similar barrel-like object, which is awkwardly controled by timing your jumps to swing it higher and higher. One of those barrels can be used to take an upper-path that takes a boatload of patience to reach.

I swear to God, that specific barrel is an inside-reference to the infamous Carnival Night barrel, which demands a similar amount of grit and stubborness in order to breach. Fortunately in Casino Paradise, you can take an alternative, barrel-free route.

Also, Carnival Night is too goddamned long. I remember finally passing the offending barrel only to Time Out a short while later.

And it looks like a freaking carnival, right? You think you'd have time to play.

Umm, hi, I'm new here. Was searching for random MIDIs to use as a ringer about a month a go, I typed in green hill zone without typing MIDI and I found this place. I've lurked off and on, but decided to join.

Being a Sonic fan must, in some way, seem like being a Cowboys fan. I am neither, though I enjoyed Sonic 2 on the Genesis, and Sonic Adventure 2 on Gamecube.

I'd say it's more like being a Detroit Lions fan.

I'm getting an above average OCD reading, so there's a high probability that it's indeed him... by the way, it's a "him", right?

Hi there!

I'm new to the forums, I'm an old-school Sonic gamer, played Mega Drive Sonic games through my childhood, and hate the new ones (All games after Sonic Adventure included). Waiting for more news about Project Needlemouse.

Isambard?

Jesus Christ, vintage GHZ. What ever made you return?

Hey, do you know? Ritz once stole your name to fuel a ban-dodging scheme in this IRC channel, and flat out told me where he got the name. True story! That's probably the only reason I remember the word "Isambard". That and Isambard Prince from the final season of Lexx, which goddammit I still need to watch--

You're going to fit well here.

You know, I'd forgotten all about that! In fact, I still don't even remember it.

I remember the name Isambard, though.

Hey people, I used to post on this here forum like half a decade ago. Do you remember the time Michael Jackson might inquire (RIP). Is everyone still here? I mean I see threads started by Gibbon and Delphine and Segaholic but what about j-man, and Amazing Grant, and Popcorn, and Spazz, and big smile, and baba o'reilly, and Zeta, and and all the rest? You guys played any Sonic games post-Heroes? I gave up after that. You guys notice how bad Nights: Journey of Dreams sucked? Yeah, that one kinda hurt.

So what's up?

Lots of people don't come here anymore. We got a bunch of new friends. It's a bit like Saved By The Bell: The New Class.

Hey, plasticwingsband! Did you have an avatar of Beck as he appeared in Futurama? Because that momentarily got me back into him and that's probably what I remember you best for.

I think I had your AIM screen name too, along with a lot of other people from here, taken from those sporadic group chats we would have since no one bothered to use the IRC room.
