On the Genesis it was the final Sonic title for that system. On the Saturn it was a desperate attempt to save the franchise.

Episode Notes:

1. Genesis version captured from the Mega SG. Saturn version from rfeal hardware.

2. Elsewhere in the world this was known as Sonic 3D Flickies Island.

3. The Flickies here are taken from the arcade game Flicky. There you needed to save the little birds as well.

4. The Genesis game features a short FMV intro. Impressive for a cartridge at the time.

5. There is a good and bad ending here depending on whether you score the chaos emeralds.

6. There was a dedicated PC release of this around the same time.

7. Sonic would remain without an exclusive action title until Sonic Adventure showed up in 1998, more than 2 years later.

8. Although this was developed by Traveller's Tales, Sonic Team handled much of the design process. Stage design, enemies, etc. Sega had their in house people do the music.
