Indeed! My favourite is the 2nd boss theme, which plays on every 2nd boss

Diamond Dust soundtrack is always a emotional rollercoaster

[@francisconikotian2326]

idk why they changed the music for CD, the sega one with its neat graphic tricks and good music is the better one,even if the gameplay is kind of mhe

I remember playing this when I was seven, it was on the GameCube I did not play the original, but I was so impressed by this game back then because it wasn't just 2d sonic, I loved the concept, I might have to go and find my old GameCube and disk for this game so I can play it. Thank you for bringing back some good memories.

[@DougSalad]

That's a bizarre flex in the emerald stage, but okay

[@DougSalad]

@The0nlyKyd that's fine. I was really impressed by how well you avoided rings, and how little you jumped

[@Mr_Spade]

Collecting more rings means more to add on the score at the end of the stage, meaning it's wasted time

[@The_Mister_E]

I honestly thought you were optimizing down to the CPU cycles needed to call or play the ring sound effect. Y'know, in case that mattered.

[@zacharyjohnson9562]

Saves time in the end card. But is that worth?

[@RetroPanda13]

Man this game is giving me so much nostalgia. Game is considered a bad Sonic Game from a large part of the gaming community but it has such a charming universe that most Sonic Games don't have. The music I think, is incredible quality, I even dare to say that the Genesis version has better music than the Dreamcast version. The fact Sonic Adventures used some music of this game. And just thinking of it makes my retro gaming heart shed a tear and makes me want to pop off my old Sonic Games. From Mastery System to Gamecube. Also funny memory I have as a kid I discovered the secret level select menu because my brothers and cousins played soccer in the room and the ball hit gently the Genesis as I played the game, it glitched the game into opening that secret with the congratulation message that I discovered this level select menu.

[@alexhardline2208]

This game was on Saturn though, not Dreamcast. But yeah, the Genesis OST is so much better than the Saturn one.

[@XperimentorEES]

Always interesting to see just how accurate hitboxes are, to an impressively tedious degree lol.

[@XperimentorEES]

@The0nlyKyd That's the joke :P

[@billyjohnson7925]

@The0nlyKyd wooooosh

[@VostokApollo]

I had a funny realization the first time they picked up the speed shoes. 100% in any time I played 3d blast, speed shoes were basically like the worst thing ever and only ever resulted in losing flickies. So my IMMEDIETE thought was "Oh god why would you break the speed shoe-oh wait it's tool-assisted"

[@gigaslave]

3d Blast is basically what happens when Sonic takes Flicky's role as the protagonist of his old arcade game and makes it isometric.

[@soupbeargames6424]

The SEGA in this game is the one I want in the movie

[@anonimata760]

A cute plot rescuing flickies sounds fine to me

[@kotomishione]

the intro that screamed ＳＥＧＡ！ was my favorite because it scared me when i was a child good memories from the PS2.

[@PikminWarrior454]

This was the first time I ever noticed the orange flickies in Volcano Valley. Always thought there were just red ones. I also remember having a lot of trouble with the VV boss, because I had a hard time with homing projectiles when I was a kid

[@AutisticShyGuy]

...because I *Read more*

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah the Volcano Valley boss was a pain... it requires you to jump on those narrow pipes to hit him and then avoid the flame. Massive difficulty spike compared to the other bosses, even the ones that go after it. Kind of reminds me of the infamous Barrel in Sonic 3 only...THIS was a skill issue on my part, but it was challenging.

[@thenextlevel123]

Playing this as a kid I've never found anything so confusing in my life, it was some of the weirdest unintuitive level densign ever.

[@seishedaye3705]

Look at all the swag put in to collecting Grandma's hard candies

[@Sieg_W]

Thanks this game is full of nostalgia

[@abzer0gaming]

Incredible. Who would've thought that the music for Puppet Panic would've been reused in Sonic Adventure?

[@RetroPanda13]

Also Green Grove's Act1 music used in Windy Valley post tornado. Panic Puppet for Twinkle Park. Man this is giving me so much nostalgia

[@andreasbienert306]

Diamond Dust and Final Fight got remixed in Sonic Chronicles aswell (Central City + Mystic Ruins respectively). Also, who else thinks that the Special Stage theme is *somehow* connected to SA1's Windy Valley 1? My brain desperately wants to make that connection after listening to both.

[@TheFleeingPhoenix]

One Saturday morning, I woke up laying on top of the controller to my Sega Genesis with this game still on from Friday night and the level select screen on the TV. I had accidentally input the level select code: B,A, Right, A, C, Up, Down, A (or baracuda) by rolling all over the controller in my sleep during the night. I was shocked and incredibly happy as this was before the internet and I had no idea what to do with the gift. I checked out the final stage to the game until I lost all my lives, then was grateful for the chance and moved on happily. Such a lucky memory.

[@minilaser123]

This sounds so impossible that I'm gonna believe it.

[@Plide]

@@minilaser123 There's a non-zero chance they didn't trigger the menu via the controller code, but instead by "crashing" the game. Most errors that would normally crash the game are instead handled to send the user to the level select screen. It's possible that leaving the game on overnight caused it to "crash" and go to the level select screen. You can intentionally get the game to "crash" to the level select screen by wiggling the cartridge as well, since it usually causes a bunch of errors.

[@minilaser123]

@@Plide Ohh, thanks. That explanation makes more sense

[@Titanic4]

@@minilaser123 This error handler is made to fool SEGA testers originally. The original developer didn't know about it until the video showcasing the "crash" in action was posted online.

[@Kinkajou1015]

@The0nlyKyd Since when had fun been a component in making a speedrun? :P I understand what your saying, I still hope someone does do a TAS of the DX version at some point though. It's a different puzzle to solve with basically the same moves.

[@Kinkajou1015]

@The0nlyKyd I doubt it will happen too, but a guy can dream.

Любимая игра про ежа. В детстве излазил всю вдоль и поперек, в поисках бонусных уровней. Сам случайно обнаружил, что при шевелении картриджа появляется левел селект. А еще это самый дорогой картридж для мега драйв, что я видел.

[@Skipatronic]

I kind of have a soft spot for 3D Blast. While it was outshined by its predecessors, I still think it's a fun game to go back to from time to time. Also the bonus stage music is probably one of my favorite things to come out of this game

[@melodywhispersong9541]

God it's so wild to grow up with Sonic Adventure and hear Green Grove was where Emerald Coast's theme originated. And as a reference point, my first system was in fact a Genesis, with Sonic 2 being my first game ever, I just never had 3D Blast.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, a LOT of songs written for Sonic 3D Blast were reused in Sonic adventure. in fact Pleasure Castle is actually a track written for 3D Blast, though GameHut doesn't exactly remember where it was supposed to play, I think he said some bonus stage that never got added to the game. It was remixed by Jun for Sonic Adventure using modern instruments.

[@wherearemypowers]

Never knew Charmy had a cameo in this game despite playing it before. Then again I was a kid when I last played it.

[@BSGofficial001]

This is great, awesome to see Sonic 3D getting attention. It's incredible to see it done so fast as it's quite a fiddly game at times but... I love this game! Awesome music. Always been sad that super sonic wasn't featured though. The special stages have got to be the easiest out of the Mega Drive games.

[@Sonicgott]

It's amazing how much of this music that was in this game which inspired the soundtrack for Sonic Adventure.

Dr. Robotnik discovers the seven Halls® Cough Drops on Flicky Island, but they are nowhere to be found. He soon learns that the Flickies residing on the secluded island are native to a different dimension, and can travel between worlds using large rings. Consequently, the Doctor determines there is some sort of connection and resolves to turn them all into robots using his new Dimension Ring Generator. Later, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles arrive to beat Robotnik to the Halls® Cough Drops but find that they are too late. Sonic finds that Robotnik is already placing his Flicky friends into robots. Naturally, Sonic decides to free the Flickies and stop Robotnik from finding the elusive throat lozenges. The seven Halls® Cough Drops are as follows: The Honey-Lemon flavor, the Spearmint flavor, the Cherry flavor, the Menthol-Lyptus flavor, the Grape flavor, the Extra-Strength Menthol flavor, and the Ice Peppermint flavor. All delicious, as well as powerful.
