A two-page preview of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in the February 1994 issue of Sega Power. The magazine starts off a bit unenthusiastic in its summing up of the game but quickly turns around and boasts of the game's qualities touting it as "the best version of Sonic so far".

Six-page review of the game. The article covers a range of topics, including the addition of a boss on every act, the increased level size and individual level gimmicks, new power-ups and the 3D Special Stages. The reviewers are impressed with the large, detailed levels and graphics, but criticise the difficulty as too easy. Overall they score the game at 94%. A planned "deluxe edition" of the game is mentioned, with extra levels, as well as an expansion cartridge for the current Sonic the Hedgehog 3; neither of which are named.

1994-02-05 Sonic the Comic (UK), "February 18th 1994" "Review Zone: Sonic 3 Special!"
Sonic 3 becomes the sole focus in this issue's Review Zone, with a Zone-by-Zone coverage of the full game.
Logo-pdf.svg 1994-02-08 Beep! MegaDrive (JP), "March 1994" A two-page preview covering the build demo'd at Winter CES 1994. Reported as 60% complete, an overview of the plot is provided, as are screenshots of the game's opening and a biography of new character Knuckles the Echidna. The Competition Mode is explained and special attention goes to the backup save feature adopted from Sonic the hedgehog CD. The writer is most excited to see the game's new take on special stages, and is pleased to see that there is both a Special Stage and Bonus Stage. At the end is a brief rundown of the 3 shield power-ups (Flame Shield, Thunder Shield and Aqua Shield) and various miscellaneous details and theories. Both in the main text and a blurb, it mentions the game's US release on February 2 and how the ROM is only 16 megabits, while the Japanese version be 24 megabits and include more zones (likely alluding to Sonic & Knuckles in an early form).

Logo-pdf.svg 1994-03-08 Beep! MegaDrive (JP), "April 1994" 3-page preview. Reported as 80% complete and, similar to the previous Beep! Megadrive issues, touts the game as 24M+B•6. It begins with writer explaining that the previous issue's material looked unclear due to being captured at CES, but the near footage (such as the example screenshots of the story's opening) will look much clearer. The preview also chronicles the megabit history of previous Sonic games on the Mega Drive and the massive leap this takes to 24 megabits. A more in-depth guide is given to Competition Mode, with separate descriptions for Grandprix, Match Race and Time Attack (as before, only the stages Azure Lake, Balloon Park and Chrome Gadget are available). On the top half of a 2-page spread is a guide to 5 of the 6 stages, Angel Island Zone, Hydro City Zone, Marble Garden Zone, Carnival Night Zone and Ice Cap Zone. On to bottom half are descriptions of the shield items (now including the Insta-Shield), a spotlight on Tails and his ability to carry sonic:Sonic, and descriptions of the Special Stage and Bonus Stage. In a message from Sega, they address Tails' absence from Sonic CD, hope him and Sonic will work well together, and ask readers to wait for May.
