Does Sonic the Hedgehog 3 have a post-credits scene?

Don’t rush out of the theater just yet, because Sonic the Hedgehog 3 contains two post-credits scenes.

One occurs midway through the credits, following the animated section. But don’t leave after that – the final teaser comes after all the credits have rolled.

Both scenes set the stage for the next film, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which is slated for a 2027 release, according to Variety. They may also hint at a spin-off series on Paramount+, such as a standalone Knuckles show.

The mid-credits scene unfolds after Sonic’s race with Tails and Knuckles. Sonic, in his usual fast-paced manner, ends up in New York after overshooting his target.

Suddenly, Sonic is ambushed by a familiar-looking robot, identified as Metal Sonic by fans. Multiple Metal Sonics emerge from the shadows to confront Sonic.

As Sonic prepares for battle, a figure wielding a hammer appears and defeats the Metal Sonics. The hooded figure is revealed to be Amy Rose, a character from the Sonic games not yet featured in the films.

The encounter with Metal Sonic and Amy Rose harks back to their origins in the game Sonic CD, which involves time travel and saving the world from Robotnik’s tyranny.
