im really stuck on the Carnival Night zone, theres this one part i get to and all there is, is a spinning cylinder you can jump on... and thats it (il get a pic of the part. im not sure if this is a common place to get stuck..

please.. someone must be able to help me

Nismo · 26 Feb 2006 at 14:07

Oooo sounds familiar

Think I was stuck on the same part for ages when it came out, almost gave up because I thought it was a bug.

Is it one of those cyclinders that move when you press Up/Down in a certain rhythm?

The Mad One · 26 Feb 2006 at 14:11

You need to hold up and down to get the cylinder thing to move up and down do it enough and ull be able to jump up (or down) to a platform that the cylinder helps you reach.

[EDIT] Just to be more clear the cylinder acts like a type of swing so hold down when the cylinder moves down and up when the cylinder moves up to get it "swinging" faster

Baine · 26 Feb 2006 at 14:11

Yeah i remember this you need to jump up and down then press the other direction to make the tube move

Example jump when you land press down when you go up press up etc i am sure its somthing like that

Think I managed that bit once on my own, had to have my sister with knuckles to do it again

Amazing game

Naffa · 26 Feb 2006 at 14:37

while we're here, can someone tell me what the little ring is that appears when you press jump twice when you play as Sonic?

DEL 707 · 26 Feb 2006 at 14:44

If i remember correctly, it's a shield that deflects bullets etc.
Takes precision timing.

The Mad One · 26 Feb 2006 at 14:47

It’s a second of invincibility nothing can hurt you while it’s active, you can avoid attacks with it use it to take out enemies the extended ring seems to extend your attack range.

JaFFa · 26 Feb 2006 at 17:51

sonic and knuckles is pretty pricey due to its cardboard box. that thing was so rippable. Every way you pulled it something ripped.
