Puzzle Piece #3 is located after Checkpoint 4, where you'll find yourself in a circular red room with orbiting Electro-Mines. Between two of them will be the Puzzle Piece. Don't be afraid of dying trying to get to it, as you keep the Puzzle Piece even if you die after collecting it.

The final Puzzle Piece of SSD Speedway can be found at Checkpoint 5, at the top of the shaft immediately after the third Puzzle Piece. Here you need to go right through a room with fans at the top, shock walls on the bottom, and three Electro-Mines.
