Also, let it be known, that it took me years to beat this game. Years! Wanna know why? Well, just Google "Sonic 3 Carnival Night Zone" and the first few pictures will be something like this:

Yeah, this game description gets its own picture because of how long this one section taunted me. How was I supposed to know that jumping wasn't the right way to push the cylinder down enough to escape (it was just using the directional pad...). But when I finally figured it out many moons after I first popped this bad boy into my Genesis, there was celebration to be had! New stages to explore (I beat the previous levels before CNZ many many times) and a game I could finally finish!

I usually just mashed the buttons and the D-pad like an imbecile, until the cylinder went down enough. 

I didn't figure out the "correct" way to do it 'till a couple years ago, either, though.
