''Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3'' is a browser game created by Sega of Virgin Islands based on a RunningGag from the official ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' [[Blog/SonicTheHedgehogTwitter Twitter account]]. A trial version was released on AprilFoolsDay in 2016, and has a surprising amount of effort put into it, with loads of {{Continuity Nod}}s, {{Ascended Meme}}s, and SelfDeprecation. The game was initially "teased" during the "History of Sonic" panel at South by Southwest on March 11, 2016, but written off by everyone there as a joke, after which Sonic's twitter claimed that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial absolutely nothing was happening on April 1st.]]

A voice-acted full version made by fans is in the works, with Creator/RogerCraigSmith and Creator/MikePollock returning to voice Sonic and Eggman, respectively.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Much like one of his cameos in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Big can survive in the vacuum of space with no trouble at all.
* ContinuityNod/MythologyGag: By the truckload.
** Eggman name-drops ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' and ''VideoGame/DoctorRobotniksMeanBeanMachine'' while listing the reasons why he's more popular as a character than Big is. Sonic later points out that ''Mean Bean Machine'' technically wasn't made for Eggman, referencing the fact that it was a DolledUpInstallment of ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo''.
** Eggman also mentions [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Perfect Chaos]] and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Biolizard]] by name if you ask him where Froggy is.
** Big brings up his last solo game, "Big's Fishing," numerous times throughout the game, which almost everyone claims doesn't count due to being nothing more than a [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds kid's meal toy]].
** Big says that he helped Sonic run in his [[VideoGame/SonicRunners last game]], which Eggman dismisses as a "glorified cameo."
** Before Big enters the labyrinth to rescue Froggy, wavy text reading "The programmer has a nap. Hold out! Programmer!" briefly appears on screen, accompanied by the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'' special stage music. This is a reference to one of the early prototype builds of Sonic CD, which had the same phrase pop up during one of the special stages.
