Sonic 3D Blast was an isometric pseudo-3D platformer developed by Traveller's Tales to be Sonic's first step into 3D along with Sonic Xtreme to rival the Nintendo 64's Super Mario 64. It received a Sega Genesis, a Saturn release, and a GameGear spinoff similarly named Sonic Blast. The game received mixed opinions from critics and fans alike, and in short, was considered a failed attempt at bringing the blue blur to 3D.

Background

During the development of Sonic 3D Blast, Jun Senoue, composed the soundtrack in a similar fashion to Masato Nakamura's Sonic 1 and 2 demo tracks, using MIDI devices to compose the music. The tape in Jon's possession contains the tracks for Jon's approval before being implemented in Sonic 3D Blast.

Availability

On October 22th, 2019, the first 5 tracks from the demo were posted by Jon Burton, founder Of Traveller's Tales and TT Games for archival purposes. The rest of the tape is yet to be seen. On February 12th, 2020, the last track was uploaded and thus renders the cassette demo as found.
