I think I first stumbled upon this game on Sonic Mega Collection+. Before then I didn't know this game existed despite having a GameGear and being a big Sonic fan. Man, it's probably the worst Sonic game imo. It feels like a bootleg.
Hey, didn't you block me on Twitter cause I felt like your tweets were nothing but bitterness and misery to the point that you came off more as an angry Goomba than a lonely one except it wasn't funny and I genuinely was worried about you point is are you doing okay?
@@Garrulous64 That’s likely because it kinda is. It wasn’t made Sega instead it was made by TecToy who had the license to sell Sega consoles in Brazil. As such it was only sold in Brazil.
Green Hill Zone: A faker. Yellow Desert: Complete chaos. Red Mountain: Aaaaa. Silver Castle: Good Music, bad level. Oh, don’t worry... Blue Marine: H E L L.
As someone who’s played this game, I just want to say I think I owe Labyrinth Zone an apology, I seriously didn’t know how good I had it. Seriously FUCK Blue Marine Zone
To give a slither of credit to this game, there actually are Air Bubbles in the Blue Marine Zone boss but only if Robotnik shoots the ground with an arrow when Sonic’s beneath him.
@@incognitiosaystransrights but there are? judging by gameplay videos of the ms version there are air bubbles. I guess he just never gave time for Eggman to shoot the ground.
As a Brazilian I'm issuing an apology in the name of my country for us being responsible for the horrible Master System port. On the bright side I do like the music for the first three zones and the boss battles.
I wonder why the Master System version has these screen-filling problems that the other Sonic's don't have (I'm referring to Sonic 1, 2 and Chaos) and some visual downgrades like less colors and less details in the background, it's almost as if TecToy had made a port in a hurry just to have something to release for the Master System in 1996. (Which makes sense since both Mega Drive and Sega Saturn had already been on the market for a long time and the Mega Drive was taking the place of Master System as "cheapest console option" for Brazilians ) But what makes me even more curious is why they ported Sonic Blast instead of Sonic Triple Trouble, which is considered the best 8-bit Sonic of all time.
Fun Fact! This was my first Sonic game! I played the plug-n-play version from the mid-2000s. Yeah, its a bit jank, but I had a lot of fond memories of it.
Why does Sega make ALL the Game Gear games have 6 Chaos Emeralds? I let Sonic 2 slide since it came before it's Genesis release, but all the way ti'll now? What the Fu-
6:03 actually the name of the zones each begin with a type of colors Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, and Silver these colors relate to the Chaos Emerald found in their respective zone which mean Green Hill Zone is just Hill Zone and so on and so forth edit: here's a tip on Blue Marine Zone if you want to speed run the game: when you go into those tubes don't do anything besides holding right on the d-pad to stop Sonic's momentum and slowly jump to the middle tubes and finally you escape from the waterhell and speaking of water if you are running out of air but you don't find an air bubble or a way to get up to the surface but you are close to a single tube go into it and wa la it restore the air meter the same way as a bubble
15 seconds in and I can see that Blue Marine zone is a sore topic. As someone who played through this game as a kid and literally could not get past this stage, I feel very validated.
Sonic blast looks like a rip off of Sonic 3D blast that someone just used so they can make a bank off of it. But they didn’t know that Sonic 3D blast was terrible and they thought it was good because it was 3D
@@joechristo2 Just because they worked hard on it doesn't mean it's good. It still sucks and is no fun at all to play.... in my opinion I guess, but it's the mass majority's opinion too.

My first time picking up mania years later, and selecting knuckles, filled me with nostalgia for sonic blast of all things Edit: for the record I was never able to beat the red volcano boss and I feel validated
Well, since you asked, I made it to the end. I didn't know that there was a "Green Hill Cathedral". That must be where SEGA keeps the older gameplay styles like 3D Tails and Knuckles.
@@joeker5208 on one hand 3D Blast is probably the best technical sonic game that pushes the genesis to its absolute limits, on the other hand the game is a isometric platformer with a goal of collecting flickies that gets repetitive, it doesn’t make it the worst sonic game ever and even ranks above sonic blast in my opinion but it’s still a very decent sonic game that has much missed potential.
Fun fact: in the Master System version, when he uses his harpoon, if youre on the ground, the harpoon will shoot at the ground, creating an air bubble.
The Game Gear version is a hilariously grotesque example of unnecessarily embracing new technology...but at the same time, Donkey Kong Country was handled really well on the Gameboy Color.
"i see they not are being creative with names rn" each zone have the color name on it being the same as the emerald you get on it so for example in yellow desert you get the yellow emerald and etc
Lost World 3DS is great, much better than the HD version in my opinion. There's much more emphasis on Wall-running and platforming and most of the wisps are actually fun to control. I had a blast playing it on stream, though I was gushing over it constantly so I don't recommend checking it out lmao Can't wait for that review.

11:16 So right, in fact, you are “Just hold ➡️ to win!”
After seeing Blue Marine Zone, I can only think of one quote from SomeCallMeJohnny. "Such a lust for laziness, TUUUUUBES!"
I'm gonna be honest, Lost World 3DS is the better version.
Super Sonic is alot less frustrating to get, and the Special Stages are nice as long as you're not in public.
They’re not tho….. it’s just annoying to have to walk around and spin yourself around like crash bandicoot, why can’t we just use the joy stick?
Blue Marine Zone.
Ahh... I still have flashbacks.
I'm currently working on repressing the memory of it.
Sonic Blast Positives:
There's no janky jump arc like triple trouble
You can play as Knuckles
Silver Castle has some interesting gimmicks
Final fight is unique and quite creative
Final fight with all emeralds is hard but fair
The boss in Yellow Desert looks sick
Finding the special stages is the best part of the game
The color of each emerald correlates with the color in name of the zone the emerald can be found in (i.e. green chaos emerald can be found in Green Hill zone)
Sonic Blast Negatives:
Game doesn't look very good
Enemy placement almost never feels thoughtful
Level design is usually uninteresting
Bosses are usually uninteresting with usually a single, repeating pattern
Stage names do have the interesting bit with the emeralds but they're still boring
Sonic's spin dash doesn't feel good to use
Blue Marine Zone act 2 is painful to navigate and is the worst stage in the game
If you fail a special stage, you can't attempt it again, so better have savestates or you'll have to play the entire game all over again (I got particularly salty after getting 49 rings in the final special stage, so I couldn't do the final boss that attempt)
Special stages are boring
Overall, not horrible but it's not great either.
i fear no man
but that thing

it scares me
Good idea aren't in sega.

I at least love this version of Green Hill's song.
...That's literally all I can say that's positive.
Wait, I just noticed that every stage is named after a color. "Green" Hill, "Yellow" Desert, "Red" Volcano, "Blue" Marine, and "SILVER" CASTLE
Well, since you asked, I made it to the end. I didn't know that there was a "Green Hill Cathedral". That must be where SEGA keeps the older gameplay styles like 3D Tails and Knuckles.
As another person who has played sonic blast( on the 3ds) I can relate to his pain

G64 after he watches the original sonic movie trailer: I take that back
Actually when I looked at a play through of the master system port, there is actually supposed to be air bubbles in the boss.
"Oh no!" Green Hill Cathedral the thing that everyone has seen in his life and they will see it until they die
I mean, at least Sonic Lost World is a actually good
From what I've seen, while Lost World isn't bad, Lost World DS is absolutely awful.
Lost World is more "alright at best, mediocre at worst." Best thing it did was have an emo guy
In my opinion the story was pretty dumb (Sonic was a huge idiot in that game along with in forces)
I would say terrible, at least for me. The game punishes you for trying to explore, and i love doing that
