Sat Nov 23 14:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Trailer Incoming: Sega Genesis Cartridge Teases Monday Reveal
**Los Angeles, CA** – A cryptic Sega Genesis cartridge sent to IGN has revealed the release date for the next trailer for Paramount’s *Sonic the Hedgehog 3*. The custom cartridge, part of a promotional mailer, features a playable minigame where players control Sonic, evading Shadow. However, the real surprise comes from a hidden cheat code: inputting the classic “Up Up Down Down Up Up Up Up” sequence unlocks a “Trailer?” menu option, announcing the trailer’s debut on **Monday, November 25th**.
The first trailer for *Sonic 3*, which introduced Keanu Reeves as the voice of Shadow the Hedgehog, was released earlier. Following the pattern of previous films—each introducing a new character (Tails and Knuckles in *Sonic 2*)—Shadow’s appearance suggests the anticipation surrounding the potential introduction of Amy Rose in future installments.
*Sonic the Hedgehog 3* races into theaters on December 20, 2024.
