# Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film)

Barry Wom and I are currently disagreeing on whether its nomination should be mentioned in the "Accolades" section. Barry Wom thinks it should not be mentioned because the Golden Joystick Awards are for video games, not films, even though Sonic 3's category is Best Game Adaptation. WP:FILMACCOLADES does not mention anything about accolades having to be film-specific. What do y'all think so we can resolve this dispute? Worth mentioning that Fallout (American TV series) does mention its Golden Joystick Award. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 15:07, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

I've reinstated the award, although I was under the impression that awards voted for by the public shouldn't be included. Barry Wom (talk) 15:20, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has a link at the top to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film) but Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film) doesn't link to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in the same way, what is up with that? 159.196.169.230 (talk) 02:27, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

The "hatnote", as it is called, is only needed if the article title can have multiple meanings. In the case of "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", that article title can either mean the video game or the movie, so the hatnote is there to direct readers to the right topic if they are on the wrong article. However, the title "Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film)" only has one possible meaning (the movie), so it doesn't need a hatnote. If someone were to make a second movie with the same name as "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", then maybe we might need a hatnote, but in this case, there is only one movie that exists with that name. For more information, see our guideline at Wikipedia:Hatnote § Disambiguating article names that are not ambiguous. Mz7 (talk) 02:57, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

most of the alleged late july filming screenshots actually appear to have been from knuckles' production in june 2023, and reports of sonic 3 filming then all seem to be largely by unofficial soruces. the ski lodge shown in the july 2023 reports is a location from knuckles and never appears in sonic 3.
