Events

Sonic 3D Blast (1996)

Dr. Robotnik learns of the existence of Flicky Island, home of little Flickies, who, according to legend and rumor, are the key to finding the Chaos Emeralds. Upon arriving on the island, Robotnik learns that Flickies are capable of opening portals to Special Stages in the form of giant rings. Wanting to enslave the Flickies’ power, Robotnik creates the Dimension Ring Generator and begins to robotize the vulnerable birds.

Soon, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles arrive on the island, also attracted by rumors of Chaos Emeralds. Shortly after arriving, they are faced with the atrocities on the island and begin to battle the evil doctor. While Sonic rescues Flickies and battles Robotnik, Tails and Knuckles search for passes to the Special Stages. The second location Sonic visits on the island is the Rusty Ruin Zone, where he passes through an abandoned overgrown area, once apparently the ancient castle of some people. Finally, after saving all the Flickies and finding the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic faces off against Robotnik in his Final Weapon and defeats the villain, freeing Flicky Island from captivity.
