Also in Sonic CD, if you spend 3 minutes and you are not moving, Sonic says "I'm out here!", falls and the "Game Over" screen appears

[matheuslisboa]

0:44 he already jumped straight to lose !

[Rhythm]

3:50 Sonic just crashed into an invisible wall

[dragons_hook]

In sonic 3&k, if you cross the line at 9:59 you actually get a very large bonus!!! 100, 000 points and 2 extra lives!

[QuadFactor]

Fun fact: In Sonic 3D Blast, while you can't get a time over, when the time goes past 9:59, the game says you took too long on the results screen. XD

[multiversegamer]

4:52
This man took over an hour on a single level 😭

[spaghettistudios]

I like to think that when time up happens sonics legs either get to tired or broken

[YourAverageLucario]

There is no way a sonic level should take an hour!

[Thomas_Jasper_Cat_Senior]

R.I.P. Sonic
Cause of death: *TIME OVER*

[PaypsAgain]

Imagine going for a stroll one day and randomly dying and it says time over

[robertwhite]

I thought the funniest was the sonic 3 one, where tails got stuck swimming

[Destroyers]

Sonic: "Unstoppable Speed and Timing!"
Time: "Oh I don't think so"

[LITTLE]

The Genesis games were pretty dramatic on this, but CD certainly did it best, because it FORCES you a total loss in the game!

[ToonyTails]

4:19 D-did an invisible wall just magically appear there? Like that animation is so awkward there.

4:54 Also holy crap Sonic Forces has a time limit?! I didn’t know that! (No this isn’t another jab a Sonic Forces levels being short).

[draxerrr]

Fun Fact:If you beat a random Act in Sonic 3 and Knuckles in 9:59 exactly you receive 100 000 points.

[chantingmammal]

Press F for respects to Sonic who died due to time overs

[Sylber.]

I like how all was ten mins and then there is forces with a whole hourXD
