The storyline of Sonic 3D is as follows: Sonic goes to visit his friends, the Flickies, on Flicky Island. He gets a surprise when he arrives, though. That evil Doctor Robotnik has surfaced again and is using the special location-warping powers of the Flickies in his never ending quest for the Chaos Emeralds. Turns out that the Flickies posses the power, when grouped in fives, to warp from location to location using ring portals. Sonic decides to free his friends from Robotnik and crush the madman's ambitions.

Released two years after the Sonic series ran out of gas, 3D Blast attempted to transition Sonic into the 3D universe. This is by far the most technically superior Sonic, but also the least fun! Graphically, it's a visual masterpiece; perhaps the best looking Genesis game ever. Inspired by games like Marble Madness, the 3D multi-tiered landscapes are lush, clean, and detailed. The high-resolution 3D characters are animated smoothly, and the seven zones are inspired by the original Sonic games.
