Sonic the hedgehog Area 51

Introduction

This page is a collection of intriguing, mysterious and downright goofy infromation about the (official) Sonic the Hedgehog line of games. It deals with everything from Sonic the Hedgehog on the Master System to Sonic Adventure on SEGA Dreamcast.
It's basically an archive of weird STH data the author has collected since 1998, when Andre Alex Dirk had shown the world his interesting Sonic 2 cartridge. Most of the info here is exclusive unless it was "borrowed" by others. Meaning there is stuff here you won't find anywhere else!
The original authors of the finding have been listed where I myself am not the author.

Sonic 3D Blast/Flickies' Island (Page 4)

And the pics are back. Now for some copy/paste job...*dodges vegetables thrwon at him*

My version of Sonic 3D Blast (for Megadrive) is called Sonic 3D Flickes' Island (therefore it is European version - I live in Europe), but the box says Sonic 3D Blast (American version)! So I have American version of the game! The title screen should say "Sonic 3D Blast", then. But no. The title screen says "Sonic 3D Flickies Island". How come?

USA version European version

The screenshots of two title screens of the same game (demo PC version - I have Sonic 3D for Megadrive). When I set my international setting to USA, it displays me the left one. When it is set to Europe, it shows the one on the on the right...strange, isn' t it?

Using Genecyst, I have set the console version to USA and then loaded Sonic 3D. It was BLAST. Then I set the version to Europe. The game was FLICKIES' ISLAND.

USA version European version

Same, but Megadrive/Genesis version

Basicaly, the mystery is very simple. The game checks for console version. If it is USA, it calls itself BLAST. If it is PAL, it calls itself FLICKIES' ISLAND.
