Carnival Night Zone

Carnival Night Zone is the fourth level in Sonic 3 (or Sonic 3 & Knuckles). The zone is a playful carnival filled with balloons, pinball bumpers, and cannons to launch from, although unlike Casino Night Zone in Sonic 2 there are no slot machines. Halfway through Act 2, Sonic must push a rotating cylinder down through a slot low enough for him to escape through. This is completed by well timed jumps and holding down on the D-Pad, essentially frustating many players who didn't figure out the tricks at first. Carnival Night Zone is the longest of all zones available in the game.
