I never liked Blue Sphere. I don't really like any special stages in any Sonic game besides the ones in Mania. They tend to be amusing for the first couple, then annoying and tedious with large amounts of trial and error guesswork followed by memorizing the entire thing, followed by the final one being retardedly difficult. Plus shit like the special stages being finite and/or having to replay entire stages if you screw one up. Never beat Sonic Rush because of this.
Wait, I thought of another exception. Genesis Sonic 3D Blast. The special stages in that game are pathetically easy.

This. It is fucking retarded. If you spent days on end replaying the game as a child until you memorized every special stage it'll be easy for you, it isn't like that for anyone who didn't do that. If anyone can beat the final Sonic 2 special stage on their first try I would be VERY impressed.
>"you're not supposed to win on your first try dumbass"
What about all the other tries you also need to properly memorize the entire stage before you pass the "remembered the layout" check to get the emerald? Sonic 2's special stages are shit.

If you approach me at any given time with a copy of Sonic Mega Collection Plus and ask me what game I'd play first, I'd probably play Sonic 3D Blast. I never really loved Sonic 3 and I just find 3D Blast comfy. It's pretty brainless until at least a few worlds in too. That OST is honestly my favorite Sonic OST on the Genesis, and I'm not going to apologize

This game sucks. How did Sega manage to make such a terrible game in 1996?

Look at what Rare and Nintendo were doing in 1996. Donkey Kong Country 3, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario 64... Yeah, let that sink in a minute. Super Mario 64 and Sonic 3D Blast came out the same year.

To top it all off, 3D Blast's gameplay isn't even original. It's a ripoff of Snake Rattle and Roll, a 1990 NES game made by Rare. Yeah, Sega does what nintendon't, but apparently they won't extend the same courtesy to Rare.

I can't even play Sonic 3D Blast for more than five minutes. I look at the clunky slowness, the gaudy visuals, the horrible aluminum foil music courtesy of Traveler's Tales, and I think... really, Sega? This is what you thought was good enough to compete with Rare and Nintendo?

Obviously they thought this game was hot stuff, because they ported it to every machine they had. This game was available on Game Gear, Genesis, Sega CD, and even Saturn.

They should have made the cartridge grey, with the words "rest in peace" on it. Because that's what it is, it's Sonic's headstone, an interactive epitaph to Mario's rival.

It was a lower budget game, mostly the passion project of one dude, with minimal involvement from Sonic Team, meant primarily as a swan song to the Genesis because even in 1996 Genesis sales were still that good and the install base would appreciate a new Sonic spin-off.
For what it is, it's fine.

When the hell was Sonic 3D Blast on Sega CD? Now I definitely know you're just bullshitting and don't actually know what you're talking about.
Also, if you tried Sonic Blast for two seconds you'd know it isn't a port of Sonic 3D Blast.

SEGA really botched his transition. He will never be a good 3d game.

[Anonymous No.7778701]

>>7771705
It's a nice and comfy game, but some of its designs are... Ill-thought, I'd say. From the top of my head comes:

- Went to bonus stage? Then come off it without any rings and items, even though its requirement for entering is just 50 rings.
- Wander a labyrinth-like level finding each enemy to kill and release Flickies. By that point, Sonic was a free flow game, and 3D Blast made kinda annoying having to sweep every corner on search of baddies.

I think if Sonic 3D Blast was more streamlined with multiple optional paths, exploration would be encouraged, instead of required. Having to search every nook and cranny makes it more akin to some Metroid-esque game than a proper Sonic one.

Even after my rant, I still like the game. It's not bad at all, just a little tiresome. The kind of game I could never managed to beat in one sitting. Always had to pause (nowadays, using save states) and come back later.

No its horrible. They ruined the existing level layouts, they have now ruined the music. I believe they also changed sonic's physics. I used to love SRB2 back in 2008, but then they started to really fuck the whole thing up. The first thing they did was nerf the turret room in technohill 2, and they nerfed the technohill 2 boss by putting a roof on the train, and it only got worse from there. Later they completely redesigned technohill 2 and the new layout was horrible, and they replaced the original castle eggman. Just every change they made was shit, the new levels had all kinds of hideous gimmicks, it just did not feel the same.

It's literally Flicky mixed with Sonic Labyrinth from Game Gear. The Flickies even scatter when hit like in the arcade game, something that the Director's Cut missed the point on when he fixed it.

I played the older version and I don't agree with you at all. I think everything they changed was an improvement, especially the level design, aesthetics, and music. I understand everyone has their opinion but to say it's now "ruined" is downright incorrect and sounds more like you're afraid of change. Take off those rose tinted goggles next time.

I find this game to be quite underrated, not saying it's a great game by any means, it's too flawed for that, but decent, certainly not a terrible game like it's usually considered to be on the web.

Obviously the best way to play this one is with the Director's Cut, which improves it exponentially, especially with the password system, so you don't have to beat it in one go, however the original is still a perfectly playable and competent platformer.

One thing that makes me really infatuated by this game is the fact that it's pretty much the only real collectathon in the franchise, perhaps alongside Sonic Labyrinth, though in this one you can actually run and jump, so it feels more like a real Sonic game.

I'd love to see SEGA try this formula again in the future, not for a main series title, but for a spinoff, like 3D Blast was always meant to be from the start, however this time actually 3D instead of isometric, and with all of the content DX added, alongside some new ideas for extra stuff.

you are right in that there is input lag due to how the special stage animates, but it's still incredibly easy even with that and you are probably just mad because you're terrible at it somehow. for the record, you can jump.
