I remember being very disappointed as a child when I discovered the giant ring reward was just... credits :p

Man, the Saturn could have had an awesome 3d Sonic platformer... such a shame SOJ and SOA never got their shit together

I love how Sonic's quills extend when he hits top speeds.. This REALLY should have been a full game. I mean, even this simple "mission mode" really isn't all that different than collecting the stars in Mario 64. You're just doing various missions within a time limit, as opposed to your mission being to collect a power star. So really, it could have been a full fledged game like Mario 64. I can just imagine something like a dozen levels that have various missions, based on their layout, enemies and such. "Defeat 4 motobugs" "Collect the underwater rings" and such. Maybe once you've beaten all the missions in each stage, you have a boss battle against Eggman or one of his creations, or a race around the level against Metal Sonic or something. Then, each mission has rankings based on your time, and if you get all S ranked times (like when you beat all these missions under the time limit they showcase) you would unlock the giant ring which lets you earn the Chaos Emerald in a special stage. Also, (I THINK you can do this in this game, but can't remember for certain) they could have set it up where you could either do all the missions in order, or you could do them out of order, assuming you know what the specific missions are. If you know collecting 50 rings is a mission in that stage, but it's not next on the list, you can still do it at any time as a simple and obvious example. Not all that different from collecting 8 red coins at any time in Mario 64 stages. I know it's probably pointless to talk about it 20 years after the game came out, not like we can save the Saturn anymore (and I think something like what I suggest here would have sold like crazy honestly) but who knows? Maybe the team building Sonic Mania could revisit this little gem of a stage, give it a resolution/frame rate bump, but keep it looking like a Saturn game, and make a full game out of the concept. A long shot, but it's a fun idea.

Somebody should turn this into a full sonic game.

The 3d use of the saturn is amazing it’s a shame they never got to make this a full game it could have saved the saturn a bit more time

if only mega collection had an adventure field like this.

This small world is so charming I can't help but adore it.

This shows the saturn could have brought a good 3d platformer. If only

How could sega fail to make a 3d sonic game when this was available? The management of that company was totally on its arse, right at the time when they needed to be on top of their game. The rest is history!

I play Sonic Jam before it's amazing!

Damn Sonic Frontiers looking better than expected

This could have made a perfect game!!!!!

This could have made a great game. Screw Sonic X-Treme, this right here could have looked better than Super Mario 64 and could have been just as fun.

Most Disappointing Ending Award.

The gap between S3&K and SA

This looks awesome. Could easily have been a standalone game

Would've been cool if we got a standalone game like this on the Saturn, much like what Sonic Xtreme could've been before it unfortunately got cancelled. The good thing though is that we at least got Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast, and this was in essence the beta version of that game.

They should make a sonic collectathon and expand on this idea

Part of me kinda hoped that the Saturn version of 3D Blast looked and played like this. Imagine how much more fun that game would’ve been if the whole game was like this. Hell, it might’ve been Sonic’s equivalent to Mario 64 even.

Haven't thought of Sonic Jam in a long time, but boy, it's a shame that 3D Sonic didn't evolve this way. It's a great blend of platforming in a 3D environment that really works.

Would've loved if this was a full game that came out during this time, I'd take this over Sonic Xtreme and Sonic R

Is it me but I like the look of the SOnic Jam World more than Adventure. This could've been the game itself

Am I the only one who thinks someone should hack this into a full game?

When Sonic Team started planning Sonic Adventure it was for Saturn and I look at Sonic World as some of their early research and development toward Sonic Adventure. I'm not going to say that Sonic's running animation/model is good here or that the camera angles make any sense for a Sonic game, but I really can't tell you how therapeutic it was for me to see that the Saturn was at least capable of generating graphics for a 3D Sonic platformer, even if this is a bit more Mario 64ish than SA.

According to Sonic Retro there's a secret reward for clearing Time Attack mode in Sonic World, can't find any more information about it.

I like how colorful and cheerful the game looks. A true SEGA game.

This looks like a Sonic 64. Looks more fun and not as buggy as Sonic Adventure. Even the camera is polished better.

Still waiting for a fan-made Sonic Saturn title

Damn... To think this was a prototype test that would lead to Sonic Adventure! It's so cool, I really love looking what devs are capable to do with the same engine.

Someone, Sega or fan, should make a game just like this. Only instead of missions, give us levels.

I love his idle animation loo

does anyone else notice how in this game when you step on the red and white circle thing for the 2nd time, the melody that plays kinda sounds like the piano part in red mountain 1 from sonic adventure?

Touch miles what the hell who's idea was to make it mission

DONT SAY TOUCH MILES! SAY GRAB ON TO MILES!

Polish the controls, put it in HD, and you have a game better than most modern sonic games.

I would come all over myself, twice, if they made a full game like this with this aesthetic. Seeing the lo-poly 3D in Mania got me rock hard.

Too bad Sonic World didn't eventually become a full game in its own right. I probably would've loved it, I mean it's the least they could do after cancelling Sonic X-treme, and I think the Saturn could've seriously used a full-on exclusive Sonic title. However, I will clear up that I'm not saying they should've never made Sonic Adventure, since though I've never owned it, I have played bits of it at store displays and friends' houses, and I liked what I played.

"Sonic Jerm!"

If only someone with good hacking skills could make some sort of proper level out of this engine. All the tools are there with this mission mode.

Should have been in Gems Collection

I would say this shows the power of the Sega Saturn like a demo and it's polygons

Behind the credits there is a blinking word error printed there on the far left were text of credits are, you can see a "r", "err", or a "er".

they should have focused on this instead of the actual sonic jam and sonic xtreme.

I watched a sonic mania ad before watching this

If I were to do a sonic fan game it would look like this...and I would work hard on the UI/Menus cuz every fan game has horrible menus

Nice Job!!

Seeing this video made me cry.

Omg dat freakin' music!

Dont you just hate it when people go onto videos just to say that they were the first to comment. By the way, first comment

Hey its better than nothing!

Yeah if this was a fully built game this would have shifted a few hundred thousand more units over Xmas people who ran Sega where doughnuts... And not the good variety

Sick

+DerfsonicGaming you are playing the BETA of SA (Sonic Adventure), did you know?

well that was.... quick and easy

Wow after all that hard work, which is easy for you, you recieve staff credits... -_-'

I wonder if sonic mania would have a sonic world

Touch Miles... WTF did that come from?!

Sega Saturn Sonic Games Sonic 3D Blast 5.3/10 Sonic R 7/10 Sonic Jam 9/10

This is what a Sonic 3D game needs to be... slow him the fuck down. It's sad their first attempt (this little demo) was the best; the Sonic Adventure games were fine, but shit just kept going downhill after that.

a love this game

Tails is the owl from super mario 64

It's a shame Sonic Adventure DX's Mission Mode wasn't similar. Sure Jam's were simple, but they were more fun and made intuitive use of the hub world, compared to most of SADX's obtuse and fan-hack-ish missions.

I really really want to play but sadly, I have an saturn emulator and im trying to extract the game into a cue. but instead, extract all the files and i cant play.... D;

any other characters in this game

SONIC 64 ?

@Babeman12 You just said that Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Sonic and Knuckles were shitty.

yes im impressed! nice rip form teh original CD, or CAM coder. Bye

touch miles.

^^

shortest game ever

Como 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿

this game is way too short

@jm42fun T_T really

i saw the bs-x before this whats the bs-x? well yknow only the greatest hub world game evaaah! for the super famicom in 1995 and ended in 2000 during may somethin and in it you could do the following *ahem* read digital magazines watch real time radios play games of satellaview like bs legend of zelda and spend your 5000G ingame when broadcasts happen my knowlage came from did you know gaming snes feat projared go watch them

I'm sorry, but you want me to touch MILES. Who the hell knew who Miles was that didn't look in the instruction manual back then. You've been pretty consistent with what to refer to him as Sega, don't throw people a curve ball like that. In what way am I supposed to touch him? And why is the final reward credits?

This is way too slow to make a full game out of
