DESCRIPTION

Dr. Robotnik should find himself another hobby, because this one ain't paying off; or at least not yet. Determined yet again to collect the Chaos Emeralds and gain absolute power (over what, we're never exactly sure), The man with the Mean Bean Machine has sent out his robo-cronies to kidnap the birdlike Flickies and invade Flicky Island in search of all six Chaos Emeralds. Poor Sonic. Why can't anyone else play the hero for once?

The gameplay is familiar, but the settings are completely new. Sonic 3D Blast sticks the blue blur smack dab in the middle of a fully rendered isometric playing field, with new hazards exploring a third dimension in which to terrorize our hero.

Rescue the Flickies from the grasps of each of Robotnik's mechanized bad guys, and set them free at the end of each level. Also, keep an eye out for Tails, who'll offer you a round trip ticket to the bonus rounds where Sonic must collect enough rings to earn each emerald.

Claim each section of Flicky Island, including its snowy peaks, its grassy hills, and even an active volcano, in your pursuit of the tirelessly canniving Dr. Robotnik.

Sonic 3D Blast for Saturn features two separate endings, each displayed in full motion video. There is no save feature in Sonic 3D Blast. ~ Christian Huey, All Game Guide
