welp!! I just got all 7 super emeralds in Emerald Hill Zone (where you first start being able to get super emeralds at the cost of your super sonic power, so you can get hyper sonic). It's the first zone of the Sonic & Knuckles part of Sonic 3 & Knuckles @_@ gaddang. I am power playing this gam, jeez.
Kinda amazed I still instinctually remember where like, three Special Stage Rings are hidden in the first act of Mushroom Hill Zone (all in fairly close proximity to each other as well). When I had just Sonic & Knuckles on the megadrive (I decided to get S&K first, THEN Sonic 3 for...some reason. Maybe I was worried S&K would be rarer quicker) I managed to fully map out in my head a rapid route that would net me the first three chaos emeralds on act 1 of it, and by Act 2 I'd have like, 5 or 6.
Sonic 3 & knuckles, bad memms, why did I do this oh my god
