Sonic 3 Fighter Sonic is a bootleg game that doesn't actually play like Sonic at all and is just a reskin of Sintax's glitched platformer engine. It's also notable for being one of many Sintax bootlegs that were annoyingly hard to dump compared to literally any licensed Game Boy Advance game, thanks to its heavy copy protection (ironic for a bootleg game) that took until August 2020 to be cracked.

Unused Graphics

An alternate logo, which is a poorly-edited version of the Sonic Advance logo with the "Advance" part cut out (still retaining the "Sonic Advance" subtitle in Japanese, though), and also featuring a Roman numeral III. Not to be confused with the real Sonic Advance 3.

A Chinese logo for the game. It is unknown if such a version was released.

Chinese versions of the level names.

A hexadecimal font.

Unused Animation

Sonic's HUD icon has a (rather odd) blinking animation that always gets stuck on the second frame. The first frame can just barely be seen as the level fades in.

Unused Music

A sped-up sampling of Kyoko's "Happy Birthday" from the first Detective Conan movie. It is a leftover piece from Digimon Adventure and is present in various Sintax games.

All of the unused tracks from Digimon Adventure are also present here.
