I had the Saturn version when I was a kid, and I loved it. It was my favorite game on the Saturn aside of Tomb Raider and Daytona. The music in my opinion was the best soundtrack in a sonic game. Especially in Ancient Ruins. The tracks sounded like Enigma and I was loving it! The gameplay was great. The graphics were awesome. I miss my Sega Saturn now lol.

[@ArtofZenDigital]

The music was ambient and well composed on the Saturn. The fog on the Ancient Ruins stage was incredible looking, with clean transparencies and depth. I know this was a pretty decisive game, but after seeing it at my friend’s house on his Genesis, I had to get it for Saturn. It’s not what we deserved as far as 3D Sonic games on the Saturn, especially after seeing the stunning Sonic Jam 3D museum, but it’s not a bad game either. The only thing that made the game difficult was the speed, which made it feel like skating on ice the whole time, even more so on the ice stages.

[@mober7430]

One of the best soundtracks ever although that statement goes for every Sonic game. Even Sonic Adventure stole some of the songs and ideas like the homing attack.

[@darkridearts]

[@shotgunl]

Sonic 3D Blast isn't my favorite Sonic game, but I did really it both on the Genesis and the Saturn. I prefer the Genesis version the most, simple because it's got one of my favorite Genesis soundtracks. I really need to sit down and play Jon Burton's director's cut of it sometime. Whether or not someone likes or hates Sonic 3D Blast, the fact that it was a driving force for Jon to post videos about 3D Blast, 68K assembly and Genesis programming tricks, other videos about Traveler's Tales developed games, etc. makes Sonic 3D Blast an invaluable launching point for Jon Burton's video gifts to the community.

Sonic 3D Blast was a part of your childhood? Mine was Super Mario Sunshine, Super Monkey Ball 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and LEGO Star Wars.

[@AndoLarousse]

used to play the PC version a lot when I was a kid but for some reason my game never had any music in it. I grew up assuming it was just like that, but I guess it was my pc being weird. It really changed everything a lot. It felt almost like an horror game without the music.

[@ros9764]

I tried to get ahold of the windows version and i couldn't turn on music as well. On Saturn emulators you need to launch specific file instead of a track so it can play the music so idk if it's a similiar situation on the windows version

[@Turbotef]

[@silentopinion]

Sega Saturn's version was much better.

[@spicybreadproductions1972]

Aside for music. The Saturn versions OST isn't bad, but I would've preferred CD remixes of RR and VV. The Genesis' PPZ1 was also better, but that could've stayed as the intro song and the Saturn version could be the for the level, or vise versa

[@pacomatic9833]

@@Turbotef Yeah, SEGA only cares about the Genesis despite having a much more superior port on the Saturn.

[@alfiehicks1]

@@Turbotef It's the same thing they do with the 8-bit Sonic games. In every single official rerelease of those games, they're always the Game Gear versions, which suffer from a more washed out palette, worse sprites for Sonic (looking noseless 90% of the time) and - most egregiously - intense screen crunch. Literally, the only way to officially play the superior Master System versions of 8-bit Sonic 1 & 2 and Sonic Chaos are to buy the original versions on the actual Master System. Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 did get releases on the Wii Virtual Console, but tracking down a Wii with either game downloaded is probably harder than buying the original. Sonic 2 only had a Master System version in Europe, too, so you have to buy a European system that probably won't work on your TV if it's NTSC, plus the console itself won't work if you don't live in Europe or your sockets don't supply a 50Hz current. Sonic Chaos, which also only had a MS version in Europe, never even got a VC release, making it way rarer. There's just no official way to play the best versions of those three games outside of getting a PAL Master System. I do own one, so it's not a problem to me, but to many people, owning the most optimal versions of those games is completely impossible, which is a terrible shame because they're all worth playing.

[@TrewDomko]

As cool as the gameplay for Saturn is, the Sega Genesis OST makes playing the Genesis version worth it imo as i think the Genesis OST is better

[@bland9876]

I want a Genesis ost with CD quality audio.

[@Majimba_Enjoyer]

I dont understand why the windows intro is compressed as fuck but the saturn is pretty unnoticable

[@alextirrellRI]

I grew up with the Genesis version. As I recall it wasn't great to control but it was still fun and the music was great. Saturn version looks great -- with the new soundtrack by the same guy as Sonic R -- I'm very much getting Super Sonic Racing 90's dance vibes. Only downsides seem to be CD audio track loading speeds, and the camera angle in the special stage seems a bit off. PC version -- I was going nuts when the song didn't change at all for speed shoes (sometimes acceptable but the Saturn did it) and especially for invincibility. Plus the special stage, while more difficult than the Saturn looks worse than the Saturn. I had no idea that all three versions had entirely different special stages.

[@zyriuz2]

I've tried all 3 of em and my experience with all 3 is and follows.. 1 Megadrive version: this is obviously the simplest and first version but it has very good music and responsive gameplay for being an isometric 3D it's actually really fast. (Post fact the Directors Cut of the game really realizes it's full potential on this game in particular) 2 Saturn version is basically similar to Megadrive but it has better graphics and the actual 3D sonic 2 special stages that are fun and challenging they're a natural evolution, anyways this time around it adds FMVs it simplyfies the story a bit with as opposed to the Megadrive versions which has text and images to do the story. 3: PC version is like the Saturn version but with different but worse special stages and the same music as Saturn version the music has a more situational vibe in like rusty ruins you get an atmosphere of rusty ruins but in the Megadrive version you get a catchy tune anyways. 4 conclusion regardless of version you get the same core game is there but i do wish we had a version that combines best of all with DX gameplay and text screens from Megadrive and 3 different soundtracks with Saturn or Megadrive music but also a remasterd soundtrack that has the melodies of the Megadrive version but still keeps the instruments and vibes of the Saturn version :)

[@JoseGregorioValeroVillarroel]

Fun Fact: The special stages of Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn) were made by re-using the remains of another cancelled Sonic game for the Sega Saturn, No one knows the name of it, but we know it wasn't Sonic Xtreme

The glow effects for the pick ups has it turned on every other frame. If you watch the video in 30fps it is static and consistently covering sonic. In 60 fps you see how it's supposed to look. I knew something was off until I changed the resolution.

[@DeskoDev]

That's a trick they used for pseudo-transparency effects. The Genesis can't do transparency effects and real transparencies are very tough to pull off properly on Saturn, so showing it every other frame makes it look transparent when the game's not dropping frames.

[@EbenezerScroogeMcDuck]

Genesis = Genesis quality port, not much else to say. Saturn = Optimal version. Better bonus stage, albeit a little easier than PC.. PC = Better filtering in game, crummy intro movie, bonus stage is a bit mixed.. it's harder than Saturn, but not as nice looking. I originally owned the PC version, loved the music. Was curious about the Genesis version and played it on an emu, found it to be a complete mess (no offense to those who liked gen) It's one of those games where if you played it on any which system first, you tend to favor that one. As stated above, Saturn's bonus looks good, but it's way too easy. On PC, you can really screw up depending on how fast your PC is (pentium 120MHz + 2mb on board vid = very slow experience). My Pentium 3 + 16mb savage = way too fast. Turbo buttons were already out the door comes P3, but disabling the cache in the BIOS (manual turbo/alternative) helped even it out. I'd have to say PC version wins only because it's a lot easier to obtain and run in a VM. Saturn's version (on an emulator) is very buggy, it's too bad because I'd probably have preferred it more. It would have been interesting to see a 32x release, which I assume would have been a CD32x version to contain the Saturn's audio on the Genesis graphics.

I found the later saturn special stages to be pretty tough and I failed them a few times, even though it gives you a lot of rings, you can't mess up that many times.

Feel like a bit of a hybridization of the Saturn and PC version of the special stage would be best. More of that 3d sonic, maybe the same animation speed of running as the PC version. While graphically, the PC version isn't as good as the Saturn, the view of the track ahead is kinda cool

[@reillywalker195]

I've only played the original Genesis version on GameCube. Its isometric perspective is a strange choice for a platformer, and I find its sensation of speed to be different from in other Sonic titles because of that and its confined world design, but I remember liking it. Had Sega remembered what made this game good and not completely lost the plot with later 2D and 3D titles, perhaps the Sonic series wouldn't have become the butt of jokes and instead continued to be a solid platformer franchise. If I was to play this one again, I'd probably opt for either the Genesis or Saturn versions. The Genesis version has music I find more memorable, but the Saturn version admittedly has better graphics. The Windows version seems good, too, but it seems to me like the hazards in its bonus stages are hard to see.

[@wishusknight3009]

The original developer of this game has made an extensive series on it and the decisions they made. And one of his regrets was the sensation of speed was not as good as it could have been. But they were also running into hardware limits as it was. But he figures there was something they could have done to improve at least that one thing.

[@AnnoyedArt1256]

Hallelujah!!!!!! In the Directors cut version now sonic isn't running on ice!!!!!

[@KISSbestfan]

Is it Just me, or I remember a port for GBA of this game?

[@Turbulation1]

most likely it was a bootleg

[@Turbulation1]

@قناة الوسائط الاحتياطية The game was also gonna be ported to the game com too. Though how the game would play is how sonic jam on there plays, slow, choppy, and the gameplay would suck. So they canceled it.

[@jasonthekidnetworkstudios2634]

I got the 1996 version.

[@jasonthekidnetworkstudios2634]

The Megadrive.

[@viniciusgoncalves5948]

I liked Director's Cut version

[@ve1309hd]

Foi por isso que o Saturn não vingou! Que versão simples, sem graça... idêntica ao do Mega Drive, com melhorias irrelevantes. Uma pena!

[@firebro74]

Damn pc's in 1997 struggled running 3d blast at a constant 60 fps

Apuesto a que el creador del canal debe estar perdido de tantos comentarios en inglés jaja

[@Rokabur]

What the holy hell is the Special Stage of the Windows version?

[@tetrasonic91]

The DOS Limit

[@NOMAD____]

Fun fact: originaly the flickies come from a game called "Flicky" by sega

[@jordanhowell7798]

I like the Saturn version because of the graphics and sound being better than the Mega-Drive/Genesis version.

[@matthewgaming2408]

I think your genesis is kind of busted because the audio is absolutely SCREWED UP!

[@matthewgaming2408]

I played this game on my Sega flashback, not a regular genesis

[@hggfhh4449]

Sonic in the windows version special stages look weird.

[@gertytk5528]

Why oh why did I own the Genesis version and not the Saturn version back in the day? Sega needs to rerelease the Saturn version instead of rereleasing the Genesis version over and over again.

[@Tyf1ght3r]

Saturn/PC version is better than Genesis version! Who agrees with me?

[@drceno]

i have extremely vauge memories of playing this game

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

Pc and Saturn are my favorite

[@palaceswitcher]

How did they manage to fuck up the SFX on the Saturn version this bad?

[@magicmasterplayer]

Nah they sound way better on a modern emulator and actual Saturn; the weird pitching is due to the emulator this person used

[@jammas231]

Is Sonic ok? He looks kind of drugged out
