So, Sonic 3D Blast (Prototype 73) is one of those weird early attempts at 3D Sonic before they really nailed it. You’re still running around in isometric levels, collecting those little Flickies like always, but something about this build feels… off. The controls are a little slippery, and the camera angles can mess with you if you’re not careful.

That said, it’s kind of fascinating if you’re into prototype stuff. Some of the level layouts are different from the final version, and there are little quirks—like how Sonic sometimes slides too far after stopping. Definitely more of a curiosity than the polished game we got later, but still fun to poke around in if you’re a hardcore Sonic fan.

Just don’t expect it to play like the finished product.
