Sonic the Hedgehog 3 walkthrough for Giant Ring #1 (16) at Debug Coordinates: 154005B4. Access Difficulty: Hard.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the start of the Act, head right until you pass the quicksand and push a switch to open a door. Ensure you push it all the way.
  2. 2
    Continue right until you are bounced into a small sand waterfall. Ride it to the top.
  3. 3
    Instead of going right, go left. If the switch was pushed fully and you weren't too slow, the door should still be open.
  4. 4
    Head left and find an electrical shield underneath a small sand waterfall. Collect it and keep it.
  5. 5
    If the door has closed, use the nearby switch to open it again.
  6. 6
    Head right as usual and release the ghosts.
  7. 7
    Push the switch to pass through the room and reach the sand slides.
  8. 8
    Take the first slide, and when you drop to another, use your electric shield effect to climb up this slide instead of going down.
  9. 9
    You will reach the top where another slide heads left. Take this slide down to reach a secluded room containing the Giant Ring.
Tips
  • When using the electric shield effect to climb the slide, it is more effective to wait until you are falling back down to use the double jump effect. This will make heading right easier.
  • The electric shield is the hardest method to ascend the slide.
  • If you have gained your Super form by now (for Hyper Sonic or an extra 50 rings), your enhanced jumping ability while transformed is sufficient to make it up the slide.
  • The fire shield works even better if you managed to keep one from the previous act.
