Always liked this game, I'm very nostalgic for this era, in general. I still remember Sonic Spinball on the Genesis kiosk that was set up in Sears at the mall, Christmas season..you sound ike a younger guy, it's cool that you have good taste and appreciate the older stuff

For the platforming, just spin dash jump. Just like the classic Sonic games, you can just skip the with your brain.

Nice video

6:30 correction:1998

Saturn version was my favourite, that special stage and it's ost.

I remember finding one cabinet for this game in a school trip to an amusement park decades ago. I spent quite the money playing it. Despite being so long ago I never forgot the game. I loved it ❤

The best part is the sidestep

I played through about 75% of the game and I actually like it. It’s a Tad slippery but it’s still fun to run around and search for flickies.

Imagine if Sega released only two consoles: Genesis in 1991 and Dreamcast in 1996. Each with a 5-year lifespan and fewer Sonic games(and all are good). How'd that have been like? And how well would they've been recieved?

What if S3&K came out in 1993 as a full game in one cartridge? But as a smaller, fast-paced game like Sonic 2. How'd the game have been like? And what would've came out from 1994 onwards?

What if Puyo Puyo never got changed as it came to the West?

What if both versions of Sonic Spinball never existed?

What if in an alternate timeline, Sonic 1 had 10 Zones with 2 Acts each? Including 4 unused Zones from the concept arts(Japan, China, SE Asia, and Space). And all are fast-paced and fun. While always taking 30-50 minutes to beat. While Giant Rings are hidden like in S3&K. Also, what if Amy was introduced sooner in Sonic 1? While as a second playable character. With some Spin Attacks like Sonic's, but also with tarot abilities. While Sonic had the Insta-Shield, Homing Attack, Boost, and Jump Dash. And both hedgehogs had Spin Dash. And swimming abilities for both characters? And both 2P VS and Co-Op modes were included(while all Zones were playable). Also a Sound Test menu where Sonic and Amy play songs on stage. And if the 7th Chaos Emerald, a Hidden Palace Zone, and Super Forms(for both hedgehogs) were introduced? Imagine growing up in that parallel universe. How'd the first Sonic game have been like? How well would it have been recieved? And how'd all of you players have thought about it from your altered memories, experiences, and POVs?

It was a great game for mega drive.Loved it back then.

What if in an alternate timeline, Sonic was a console-exclusive series in the 1990s? And if SegaSonic and Fighters were Genesis and Saturn-exclusives respectively?

What if in an alternate timeline, every other Sonic game was as short and fast-paced as Sonic 2(16-Bit)? With little-to-no bad stuff about about them.

Imagine if the GameGear was 16-Bit like the Genesis. How'd the games on it have been like?

Shorter videos are better anyway. Onto the point. No fillers.

What if Sega never made the add-ons? And if both Sonic CD and Knuckles' Chaotix were on standalone Genesis?

How'd the 8-Bit series have been like if only 3 games existed? As in: Sonic 1, Chaos, & Triple Trouble. With Amy and Knuckles playable in Chaos and TT. And with Metal Sonic replacing Knuckles as the antagonist.

What if this game never existed? How'd history have changed?

What if in an alternate timeline, Sonic 3D Blast was a Saturn-exclusive title? But instead of isometric, it's a full 3D platformer. With multiple playable characters and Super Forms. And all levels besides Puppet Panic Act 2 just focused on going straight for the goal?

I absolutely loved this game on the Sega Saturn.

A lot of the soundtrack got reused in Sonic Adventure.y memory is a little foggy, but: Panic Puppet = Shadow 05 title theme Special Stage = windy valley Boss theme = heard in emerald coast Panic Puppet = Twinkle Park I've never played a 3D sonic game, but I think that's it. Bonus: Endless mine from S3+K = City Escape

thank you for mentioning saturns ost, also great video

amazing video just sub'd

I played the game at release. I was expecting 3D. It’s not quite 3D

In relation to Jon Burton's KZbin channels, I would highly recommend anyone wanting to play 3D Blast, play Jon Burton's ROM hack, Sonic 3D Blast Director's Cut. Jon Burton, the original director of the game, decided to refine Sonic's controls, add a non-Flicky mode, level select menu, password save system, and Super Sonic to the game! He even restored a few beta enemies that got cut from the final game.

This game is in a category of games I completed 100% and knew the very moment I finished that I would never return to it again.

I don't know why but i had a demo of this on my Windows 95/98 pc. That plus at least Comix Zone and Ecco the Dolphin. I wonder what that was about...

Wasn't a fan of 3D Blast at all.

How you get now if light and I can not do overload

I haven't played the game myself yet but I always love what I see whenever gameplay shows up in a sonic video. I'm a sucker for the not exactly 3d isometric platformers, my first one being banjo kazooie grunty's revenge

I personally prefer the Genesis version's music, maybe because it's so nostalgic. A lot of the tracks are remade in Sonic Adventure as well

I love 3D Blast! I only ever played the Genesis version as a kid. I think it's a really good game and the music is awesome! Some really nice tracks here. Yes, it's totally different from the previous Sonic games, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I think some go way overboard with the hate. People should give it a shot if they haven't, just go into it knowing it's not like the previous entries. Just have fun, you might actually like it (:

No word for "you are my hero" song??????

I actually really enjoyed Blast! It’s my favorite Game Gear game, and one of my favorite Sonic games in general. There’s something about those early 3Dish graphics, the levels and their backgrounds, and the music. Heck, I loved it so much I plan on making a wad/mod of Blast Sonic for SRB2!

I was recommended this video on my home page btw. Just thought you’d like to know. Keep it up! I honestly love this game. It was one of my favorite, and I never got the hate for it. It could have been better in some areas, but I definitely wouldn’t call it a bad game. Also yes, the special stages are so fun, despite looking simplistic. They’re not frustrating, giving you enough time to react to the early 3D

Reviewing titles with names as big as Sonic, it's tough to be objective, but I think you did a good job with it. Personally, I think a good way to test this is to ask yourself, "If this was made by a different company and starred a different character, but the gameplay was the same, how would we be thinking about it now?" With a game like Sonic 3, if it had miraculously been Bubsy 2 instead, I think it would still be described as one of the greatest games of its generation. With Sonic 3D Blast, I think it would be fondly featured in a lot of "hidden gems" lists. The 3D isometric thing genuinely looks cool, especially for a 16-bit game, and the production values and control tightness are good enough to call it an upper-tier game of this sort. I just don't think it's on quite the same tier as the mainline series. Doesn't mean it isn't fun.

I love this game. Thanks for the video. The 2017 release of Sonic 3D Blast Director's Cut by the original creator is the way to go with its improved gameplay and added features. Sadly, the game has now been delisted on Steam but the Director's Cut was available in Steam in the Sega Genesis Classics collection. The creator shows how to add it to your Steam Library here if you about the game before it being delisted. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5-llqOmhsx5fdk The patch also works on the Analogue Pocket, and you can get a repro cart of the game which I also did.

Almost 30 years later and I still hate this game

I wanted to love it. I beat Sonic Spin Ball, and was a huge Sonic fan as a '90s kid. This Sonic could never build up any speed, and was trying to pass off isometric pseudo 3D graphics as true 3D to a bunch of dumb kids. This game was what distanced me from Sonic.

I love Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island of the SEGA Saturn - it was the first Sonic game I ever owned, having skipped the megadrive/genesis in favour of the Super Nintendo back in the day. Personally my main problem with the game is that it's way too easy, as there's so many chances to stack-up lives and you can easily collect all the chaos emeralds well before the final zone. It's still surprising to me how poorly regarded this game is in sonic fandom. PS. I especialy enjoy the music diamond dust stages, act 2 in particular. They wouldn't have sounded out of place in Christmas Nights.

Great video. If you're able to, grab the PC version, too. That one also has its own special stages.

This is a lot more Tekken and a lot less Smash Bros.

"This is the ugliest thing I have ever looked at" 2 words: Top Banana

Okey branden listen sonic being slow is not a mistake on the Game it's intensional for this game's story ho yeah this game has a story i don't think You know that but incase you do im not judgeing here

Sonic r 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you!!! Finally someone said it! I haven't even watched this vid yet! Btw you can even predict your trajectory, based on 90 degree angles. Use also the tiles to know if your lined up or not before spin dashing to an enemy. So many tricks ppl dont know

I got close to beating Sonic 1 & 2 but Sonic 3D Blast was the only Sonic game I was able to beat, I know, sad. This game could have easily been called Flicky 3D?
