Sonic 3D Blast (USA) (Beta)

Getting Started: First, start the game and you'll see the title screen. Press Enter to go to the file select menu, then choose a save slot. The game presents an overworld map where you can pick levels. Once inside a level, use the D-pad to move Sonic around the isometric environment. Your main goal is to collect all flickies (small birds) that are scattered throughout the stage. You can defeat enemies like Buzzers and Caterkillers by jumping on them or using a spin dash.

After collecting all eight flickies in a stage, you need to lead them to a warp ring that appears. Be careful not to lose them by getting hit or falling off the stage. The isometric perspective can make depth perception tricky, so take your time with platforming sections. Each boss battle at the end of a zone requires hitting them multiple times to progress.

There is a time limit, so keep moving but don't rush into pits. The beta version may have minor differences from the final game, such as level layouts or enemy behavior. If you're familiar with the final release, you might spot these changes.
