Navigate the vibrant and challenging Carnival Night Zone in Sonic & Knuckles. This guide covers Act 1, including tricky platforms, rotating drums, and the Mini-Boss.
After the boring background of Marble Garden, the player enters Carnival Night, a colourful Zone. This Zone is a remake of Sonic 2's Casino Night Zone. Obstacles include balloons, dropping platforms, rotating drums, spinning wheels, and bumpers.

Use the dropping platform to jump onto the spinning wheel. When you run around the wheel and reach the top, jump over to the right.
- 4Go past the Starpost and head down the slope. Spin Dash through the wall and go down the yellow tunnel. If you emerged from the tunnel on the right side, go right and use the spinning wheels to continue onward. Collect the Invincibility and float across the anti-gravity platforms.
