man that Carnival Zone act 2 was the WORST gaming experience of my childhood! i never finished Sonic 3 back when i was a kid because of that damn block thing!

Are we talking about that dead-end room with the spinning cylinder? That took me ages to figure out, until I found out that you could move it up and down with the D-pad!

I just found that out last month... after I beat the game like 10 years ago. I remember it taking me hours of re-doing that level and each time I get to that room i'd time my jumps on that thing and when i get it low enough, jump off. Took me like 5 mins out of the 10 that you had for the level each time I actually did make it. Most times, I'd clock out and have to start over...
