Sonic the Hedgehog 3's post-credits scene contained a subtle nod to The Terminator, a reference that teases a major story element in the fourth movie. The story of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 follows Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they go up against a new adversary in the form of Shadow, a black-and-red hedgehog intent on destroying the world. The film has become a global success at the box office, while also earning an 87% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes as of writing. Some of this praise includes acclaim for its ending and post-credits scenes.
