Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on the Nintendo DS. It's the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version but just cropped and squished with low quality music. It's only choppy cause it's how it acts on a DS (even though I was running this on DeSmuME with DSi Enhancements). It's supposed to run smoothly on DSi Hardware/3DS Emulation though. (I know this because I own a physical copy of the game and played it on my New Nintendo 2DS XL.)
Plus, at least Sonic Classic Collection was released in 2009, so we could still have the original Sonic 3 music playing. Later ports had the prototype tracks.
Overall, I've been looking forward to play this version of the game. I kept forgetting to upload it was my problem, then I deleted the original playthrough to save space on my computer.
It's also been a while since I played Sonic 3, so don't mind if I'm a little bit rusty at this game.
By the way, my OBS decided to have repeated seizures, causing the video to stutter a lot. I don't want that happening in my videos. I want them to be as smooth and high quality as possible. But I just DON'T want to go through this version of the game again right now. Don't worry, that won't happen in future videos hopefully.
