Carnival Night Zone Act 2 is the 'Dark Souls' of Sonic zones because of that barrel (or drum, whatever you want to call it). Since I first played Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the so-called 'barrel of doom' has haunted me. In this video I want to moan about a small section in one of my favourite games that I always hated. I'll try my best to explain why the barrel of doom sucks and I'll try and explore it's wider legacy.
