It's the Sega Saturns Prime. Sega needs a smash hit game for the holiday season, and they decide to bring back their mascot, Sonic, in a Full 3D adventure. The development team works day and night with no breaks trying to complete the game. The finish a beta which has Sonic running around tube-like levels that can be rotated. The director of the project says that the Tube idea is no good and that the game should play similar to how today's Sonic Adventure plays. They scrapped everything they had and began work again, but they didn't have enough time. Sonic X-treme was scrapped for a new version of Sonic 3D Blast. Because of the lack of a strong title, the Saturn, and in turn the Dreamcast, fell.
Very little info has been released about this Would-have-been Hit other than a few screenshots, two small videos, and Level Names. I plan on recreating this game, since I have practically a blank canvas to work with.
The Levels:-Jade Gully Zone
-Red Sand Zone
-Midnight Carnival Zone
-Stone Temple Zone
-Crystal Frost Zone
-Dark Cove Zone
-Galaxy Fortress Zone
The Story:The Galaxy Fortress is a giant Space Station, which has remained in orbit unused for many years. Nobody knows who built it, or what its purpose is, but Dr. Eggman has announced that he has hidden 6 Chaos Emeralds around the world on recievers guarded by ferocious monsters, and has the seventh in the fortress. By using the Chaos Emeralds to power the fortress, Eggman can turn the peaceful world of Mobius into an Eggman Empire! Sonic bravely steps up to take out Eggman's Plans once again!
(note: the story may sound a little cliche, but it takes a big twist near the end of the game)
Metal Sonic:Metal Sonic in the past has been a robotic version of Sonic, built to match his speed and agility, but failing miserably. Eggman, with his evil genius, has decided to upgrade Metal Sonic.
