3D Classic Sonic--Hero from Hell

Sonic and his fat flicky friend. Big the Cat as a bird?
Art by me!
I've finished Sonic 3D Blast, thanks to the amazing "save" feature of Sonic Mega Collection Plus. Everyone is always praising Classic Sonic, but they only think of 1, 2, 3, & Knux, and CD. Maybe Chaotix, and now Mania. Everyone forgets the Gamegear titles, and, more relevant, the 3D ones.

There's a different side to Classic. 3D Classic.

Hard to control and annoying, 3D Classic's best feature seems to be his idle animations. The gold shield is useful, and gives a homing attack feel, but it--like the others--is extremely easy to lose. Once you get the hang of things, it's the Zones that start to take a toll, each becoming more torturous then the next (not to mention what happens when you lose your flickies--the fat green ones are especially annoying). The only "fun" levels are Volcano Valley and Diamond Dust.

And where's the rest of team hero? Tails and Knuckles are hiding around, waiting to steal your rings (to take you to the special stage--if you magically get 50 rings).

This version of Classic Sonic is often over looked. My advice--just play a modern game. It's not worth it. If you insist, then save yourself a lot of frustration and use the stage select.

Good Luck.
