==Localisation comparisons==
{{Comparison
| image1=Sonic3DBlast MD title.png
| image2=S3d title.png
| game1=NTSC version (Genesis/Mega Drive)
| game2=PAL version (Mega Drive)
| desc=For unknown reasons, ''Sonic 3D'' uses the subtitle ''Blast'' in NTSC regions, and ''Flickies' Island'' in PAL. On the [[Mega Drive]], the ROM is the same, with change only taking place when the localised machine is detected.

{{Comparison
| image1=Sonic3DBlast-TitleScreen.png
| image2=Sonic3D Saturn TitleScreen.png
| image3=Sonic3D Saturn JP TitleScreen.png
| game1=NTSC-U version (Saturn)
| game2=PAL version (Saturn)
| game3=NTSC-J version (Saturn)
| desc=Regarding the [[Sega Saturn]] version, the title is not tied to television standards, but more the region the game was sold in. The NTSC-U version uses the ''Blast'' subtitle, while the PAL and NTSC-J versions use ''Flickies' Island''.

For some odd reason, the Pink Flicky CGI render differs slightly between the ''Blast'' and ''Flickies' Island'' versions. The NTSC-J version also readjusts the artwork centering and extends the "Press Start" text into "Press Start Button".

| game1=US version (Windows PC)
| game2=EU version (Windows PC)
