Urgh, hands down one of the worst Sonic games I’ve played, Sonic Blast is an ugly mutt of a game that barely warrants discussion.
It’s a 2D sonic game where you play as either Sonic or Knuckles, and platform through a few zones. There’s chaos emeralds to find and bosses to beat, it’s all very fundamental.
The game looks atrocious, it was a bad attempt to use the pre rendered graphics of Sonic 3D Blast on much weaker hardware and the result not only looks ugly, but it impacts the gameplay. There is no natural flow to the characters, the zones are completely unremarkable and generic, and the bosses are fairly inoffensive.
There’s not really.. anything I like about Sonic Blast, I suppose it’s cool that Knuckles is playable on the game gear, but his glide isn’t very helpful, Sonic gets a double jump which is better for this game, but it’s this game.
The special stages are so terrible, barely any view and massive amounts of delayed movements, and getting the emeralds just isn’t worth it.
Also shout out to Blue Marine Zone, it’s my least favourite stage in the franchise. It’s confusing, it lags like crazy, there’s not enough water bubbles and there’s invisible currents that push you around making platforming feel impossible.
Don’t play this, it’s awful, one of the worst Sonic has ever seen.
