Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island

Seven levels separate Sonic from the final showdown with Robotnik.

Sonic 3D was the last Sonic title released for the Mega Drive, the only platforming presence of the blue blur in the Sega Saturn, and one of his rare appearances in Personal Computers.

The title, considering the era it was released, is somewhat misleading, as instead of full blown 3D graphics it uses an isometric view where Sonic can move not only forwards and backwards, but also left and right.

Gameplay is much slower when compared to other games in the series, and the number of badniks is reduced to five in each section.

As usual, when Sonic destroys one badnik, an animal leaps free from its insides, but this time Sonic has to pick him up and lead them to an interdimensional ring.

While they can be taken one by one, exploring the level with all five allow the player to reach for otherwise inaccessible continue tokens.

Unlike all other previous games, time isn't a requirement: if the player completes a level in more than 10 minutes, it would only mean there would be no time bonus at the end.

Finally, to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic first must find Tails or Knuckles and offer them at least 50 rings.

Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island for Sega Saturn is currently worth €215.56 loose. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Saturn titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.

The PAL version of Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island is currently worth €215.56 loose, versus €214.74 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
