Sonic 3D Blast

Sonic 3D Blast

Sonic 3D Blast is a 1996 platform video game developed by Traveller's Tales and Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Genesis, Saturn and Windows. Part of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the game eschews the side-scrolling style of the earlier Sonic games in favor of isometric gameplay, with some pre-rendered 3D models converted to sprites. The game features creatures known as Flickies, which first appeared in the 1984 arcade game Flicky. The task of the player, who controls only Sonic, is to collect the Flickies and bring them to safety. In the process, there are frequent confrontations with the series' antagonist, Dr. Robotnik, who keeps them imprisoned in robots.

Story

Doctor Robotnik discovers mysterious birds called Flickies living on an island in an alternate dimension. He learns that they can travel anywhere with large rings and decides to turn them into robots that will help him find the Chaos Emeralds. When Sonic arrives on the island, he discovers Robotnik and must save the Flickies and defeat his arch-enemy. Sonic travels around the island, rescues the Flickies and fights with Robotnik in his various machines. When the player collects all the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic goes into a black void, where he has a final battle with Robotnik, who controls a large robot. Sonic manages to destroy the robot's weapons, defeat Robotnik and free the Flickies. If the player fails to collect the emeralds, Robotnik escapes in their possession.
