Sonic 3D Blast Game

Sonic 3D Blast is like Sonic’s wild experiment with a new dimension—literally! Instead of the classic side-scrolling action, this 1995 Genesis/Mega Drive gem throws our blue blur into a vibrant isometric world, blending speed with puzzle-like exploration. You’ll still dash through loops and bounce off badniks, but now you’re rescuing Flickies (those adorable bird creatures) from Robotnik’s clutches in a fresh, top-down perspective. The controls take a minute to master, but once you do, it’s a blast—pun intended.

What makes this one stand out? The funky, atmospheric soundtrack (composed by the legendary Jun Senoue) and the striking pre-rendered graphics that gave Sonic a slick 3D look on 16-bit hardware. It’s not quite the high-speed rush of Sonic 2 or 3, but it’s a quirky, nostalgic trip with charm to spare. If you’ve ever wondered what Sonic would feel like in a Zelda-meets-platformer hybrid, here’s your answer!
