Fully rendered graphics thrust Sonic into an exciting 3D playing environment. An all new gameplay perspective puts you in the middle of Sonic's 3D adventure! The evil genius Robotnik is after the Chaos Emeralds and it's up to Sonic to stop him. Rescue the innocent Flickies before Robotnik turns them into part of his evil plan! Sonic Blast was the last Sonic game for the Game Gear. The game was also ported to the Sega Master System in Brazil by TecToy and released in December 1997, making it the last game ever made for that system. While this game was released at the end of 1996 in conjunction with the similarly named Sonic 3D Blast, it is worth noting that the two games have little in common. No enemies, levels, or bosses, are shared between the games. The story is also completely different. Sonic and Knuckles join together to collect five of a Chaos Emerald's pieces and confront Dr. Robotnik at Silver Castle.

This had unexpectedly short zones, and some goofy sprites with weird proportions. This game had the best framerate and nicest sprites compared to Sonic Chaos and Sonic Triple Trouble. Not the best 8bit Sonic game. Sega also appeared to be trying out early 3D on the Game Gear, and the Sonic Blast/Chaos/Triple Trouble games all show a little bit of experimentation here. All three games also have a terrible water pipe maze late in the game. I don't see how they expected their target audience to enjoy 8bit Sonic with how these mazes were constructed.
