Sonic 3 - Unknown Zone ID $0D RAM corruption
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- Sonic 3 has an unknown Zone, possibly an ending, following The Doomsday Zone ($0C). Although it cannot be accessed without crashing soon after, if you escape before it crashes, severe RAM corruption ensues.
Codes to access:
$0D Act 1 ~ ABZA-A4ER
$0D Act 2 ~ AFZA-A4ET
Fix intial crashing (both acts) ~
NKCA-LABR
Select Angel Island Act 1 or 2, depending on the act you wish to play.

An explanation of how the RAM corruption gets this bad:
- The title card is involved in some way which is unknown.
- However, the aftermath of the title card is basically what kickstarts the RAM corruption. As you might have seen when the video first goes into $0D act 1, Sonic and the camera are being rapidly thrown to the left. This is what starts the cascade of RAM corruption. The camera's X-position is thrown into invalid ranges of values, which causes the object manager to fail, which starts the cascade which quickly gets to forcing the game mode of the game to be the Demo mode. When you press Start to escape $0D before it gets truly nasty, the game sees it as you exiting from a demo.
The effects on the level select are caused by it corrupting the values of the zones the level select entries go to.
If you don't get out of $0D Act 1 quickly, the character proceeds to die, the camera position gets corrupted, the character dies again, and then the Z80 processor fails, taking the sound driver, and therefore all sound and music with it. Then, the game dies.
Those 2 last periods are just like death

It may be an old game but its still a good game.
Especially in terms of glitches.
By the way, if you like sonic 3 and knuckles glitches, consider searching son of a glitch sonic 3
@@FirePhoenix862 I know that series, but thanks a lot
Hell is a place where an unknown person has total control over the very fabric of reality. You can't tell who he or she is, and anything could go horribly wrong anytime. You could start falling upwards at increasing speed, becoming invisible, slowing down or going insanely fast, phasing or being able to look through walls, hearing weird and eerie voices out of nowhere, freezing in place unable to move or to think, becoming unbelievably rich or poor in a blink of an eye, finding themselves with an unpronounceable name all of a sudden, or witness the unavoidable and frighteningly fast crash of the whole universe after watching tiles changing color in the sky.

I like how sandopolis music just makes *ZONE* so much better, especially when it loads the corruption
It is actually Sandopolis's level
@@SilverSonic1992 ye ik but its pretty funny lol
@@SilverSonic1992 I actually wanted to see corrupted sandopolis in action without the game literally dying
Because sandopolis act 2 sounds like earrape a bit (i didnt insulting music) and earrape fits corrupted level really good
6:04 Sonic runs into the chaos of the corruption void itself
What kills me is how it initially looks like normal Angel Island, but then becomes this broken textute mess.
Pibby:
I'd like to clarify two things:
1. The ram corruption appears to be caused by bad title card mappings. If the title card is simply disabled, the crash does not occur.
2. This zone isn't some unused level or the ending, at least not in Sonic 3. It was likely used in an early draft of the intro cut-scene and indeed remnants of this can be found in the prototype as well as the final game.
Does your cartridge of sonic 3 die if you don’t escape
It won't damage your Sonic 3 cartridge.
So it damages the console?
@@Unkown-il9oz no
@@Unkown-il9oz That's unlikely.
Given 3:38 and the games prototype special stages, id say development was done while having fun dancing with disco.

Apparently so, that part was reused from Endless Mine.
Yeah City Escape was based on that track.
Flaming Fox Well yes, but only because it was remixed in generations.
@@bluerious5475 Yeah, I can tell.
Also whaddya mean Generations, it showed up in SA2 first
Flaming Fox Not the specific version of city escape we’re talking about with the endless mine reference. The original didn’t have it.
1:07 I found one through a level select glitch selector similar to that one but also different. The water behaves and looks different and there are 2 Act 2 bosses, and then there are a few other differences, like the object load manager fixing itself before the game crashes in that pipe (you can beat the whole zone). I guess I'll probably make a video on it? Pretty sure the miniboss for Act 1 spawns because it's not yet defeated(?) and you've passed through it's y - coordinates. What confuses me is that if you pass that part with debug mode and go to it's y - coordinates at another part in the level, it pulls you to the Act 1 boss arena. But it doesn't do it in the other spot, instead it loads the arena. The zone also forces you to play as Sonic & Tails. You cannot play as Tails alone or Sonic alone by switching the number on the level select. It might be posssible through a code, though.
Sonic 3 never lets you choose your character through the level select, it only works for the 2P levels.
@@SilverSonic1992 Oh, okay. My bad.
Attempted this on actual hardware. Crashes while Sonic 3 loads in.

@@SilverSonic1992 I also like Marble Island Zone a lot, it's my favorite
If you're wondering why Marble Garden Act 2 music plays in Angel Island Zone [1:00] right after you beat the miniboss [2:05], this is actually Angel Island Zone Act 6.
I looked further into this, and I found out that when I defeated the miniboss in Angel Island Act 4 (It was super laggy), it played Hydrocity Act 2 Music.
In conclusion, OOB Acts can play music beyond the current zone. Also most of the time, Zones stop working at Act 33 [$20] and beyond.
Do try Act $82 on Sonic 2 Zones (Final Release), as these can be really interesting [Act $80 crashes due to glitched text].
3:38 what zone ID was that, the actual Endless Mine or a glitch?

Oh well
you could try doing it in the sonic 3 prototype, maybe you could get something a bit more finished. or even more broken idk but it would be a cool thing to try out
Want me to try that?
I got very few sound corruptions in angel island 1 or 2. Angel island didn't load the unknown zone. After dying once in hydrocity I have a strip of hexadecimal with a white background across the level background. My sound was a bit corrupted again until in the middle of the level the sound went "zip beep boop beep boop" then played the drowning theme. Now there's no sound
Just tried to play again and got hit by an enemy. The sound went craxy and when the drowning theme tried to play it is stuck on one note. I have a high pitched one note continuously in the background
After dying again I went through the tunnel at the beginning of the level and the hex strip dissapeared
Just went farther and when the drowning theme tried to play it stopped on a low note which kept playing and progressively got lower, now that's the only sound at all that's playinh
they should've named this, glitchy boi zone
They did. Did you not read the title card?
My favorite glitch zone is the one with Endless Mine music playing over glitched sprites, and it's possible to scroll the screen.
I like what happened at 6:05, this needs to be reproduced but with jump to debug to prevent dying

Fun fact!
If you load this zone ID in the November 3rd 1993 prototype, you can actually kind of run around it! It basically functions like the S3@K zones but without the invalid placement of Sonic like in S3!
Also for anyone wondering why the normal looking version of Marble Garden was suffering such extreme slowdowns, this is because of it being an act beyond act 2. To fix this, all you have to do is load another level while in this invalid act. It will for some reason, completely stop the slowdown until you deactivate the code. Although reactivating it will once again fix it. This works for all invalid acts, although some acts beyond act 2 will soft lock the game.

@@SilverSonic1992 Which model is this one?
This video is full of software gore, and I hate it lol
The 'missing level' could be flying battery, mushroom hill or lava reef since sonic 3 was supposed to be a complete game but ended up getting split with the data for those levels on both cartridges.
It can't be though:
Flying Battery = $04
Mushroom Valley = $07
Lava Reef = $09
@@SilverSonic1992 hmm.. maybe it belongs to the games ending or a zone that became completely shifted to s&k. Or in lava reefs emerald chamber,(which is probably what it should be called, since sammy sega themselves confirmed its not sonic 2s hidden palace) since that was in mushroom valley for the cutscene as well.
0D=test zone (confirmed)
@@kawrght Act 2 was apparently used for S&K ending
Just tried to use the code on the Sonic 3 prototype (on emulator) and it seemed to do nothing besides glitch the sound
Semi-unrelated (only because this does with a glitched Angel Island); I, in one of my couple Blue Knuckles runs in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, ended up finishing one of the successful setups with Angel Island as per usual, but the level graphics were wrong, and it was called "Zone Zone"; This specifically happened on the Gamecube release of Sonic Mega Collection, on actual hardware, somewhere around 8 - 10 years ago, and I have not seen the flooded Angel Island load that way since…
Hey! I'm not sure if you still check the comments but I was able to load into Zone ID $0D without causing ANY Ram corruption, I used a glitch where any zone I would load into used Angel Island's Title Card, Spawn co-ordinates and enemy sprites, when I loaded into $0D, nothing bad happened, and I could explore without any crashes.
Yeah, I believe the reason for the crash has to do with the title card itself. So logically, the RAM corruption and eventual crash will not occur if you can avoid that.
0:38 Ah yes. My favourite Sonic 3 level. Cap.

Hydrocity zone act 22. We may have stayed in that place for too long
6:05 sonic dies and goes to glitch hell
Out of curiosity, why does the display in the level select show zones from Sonic 2 when this game is clearly Sonic 3?
As I heard apparently, sonic 3 was builded on sonic 2 engine, like sonic 2 was on sonic 1... (I'm not sure tho)
In early builds we could access few sonic 1 levels in sonic
It also does that in the finished Sonic 3. It was just the product of rushed development. They had no time for original level icons, so they reused the ones from 2.
Ah, yeah... I have 0$, so that's how my game looks like

When I tried this on a SEGA Genesis ROM loader console thingy that can also play other console games, it crashed at the first frame during the start of Sonic jumping into the ring when the game loads normally. So basically it crashed after the SEGA logo went away. I used the codes for both acts and the crash fixer, so am I doing something wrong or is this just a fail save by the console itself to prevent the ROM from getting messed up? Any help or answers would be appreciated.
0:38 ah yes, the sonic 3 zones:
