Sonic 3D Chaos

07/25/2025

Hello everyone. This is a scary story about the game Sonic 3D Blast, based (not) on real events!

One day, I went to my grandmother's and found an old Sega Genesis console there. I think it belonged to my father. I found it in the attic, among boxes with trash and some records.

I spent about a month in the village and finally came home. While sorting out the box with the new (old) console, I noticed 3 cartridges: Sonic 2, 3 and 3D Blast.

The first two were no different from the originals, even with stickers. And the third one called itself that, because there was no label. Only a piece of tape with the inscription "Sonic 3D Blast.

The only thing that scared me was an unknown error that occurs when entering special stages.

In Sonic 2 and 3, a square text insert appeared with the inscription:
"Error, No 3D support.
1on4c 33 Bl256"

I didn't understand what it meant, but I decided to check the third cartridge for functionality.

The SEGA logo looked the same as usual, if you don't take into account the lowered tone. The cutscene had been changed. It was night outside, the island was darker than usual, and there was no one on it.

When I was transferred to the title screen, Sonic was there, but he looked different. Confidence was replaced by fear. I decided not to look at the Worried Hedgehog for too long and went to the first zone. Then I already suspected something was wrong.

The zone was called... Green Groove. Just Green Groove. No changes.

The greenish Grove greeted me happily. However, the sky remained black. And the Robots were gone. The passages to other parts of the level were open and I reached Knuckles. Hoping to see something new (not like the previous error with the cipher). The screen turned white, and then I got to the bridge over the lava! The stage worked, and was no different from the original.
I got the Chaos Emeralds and advanced several locations.
Volcano Valley. Here I had to collect the 7th Chaos Emerald. So I collected 50 rings and ran to Tails... For some reason, he refused to pick up my rings and just disappeared, while the white screen disappeared. I thought it was a bug and ran to Knuckles and gave him my 50 rings.

I ran along the Bridge again and collected the necessary rings. Here it is, the Emerald! Here I am approaching it and finally... . .

...

The game just froze. Dead. I tried to take the cartridge out of the console, but my Genesis just refused to let it out.
While the game was not moving, I decided to deal with that Cipher.
1on4c 33 Bl256.
- Probably, this is a distorted name of Sonic 3D Blast! - I finally understood and began to figure out: what letters and numbers can be replaced?
1 - C, 2 - a, 3 - d, 4 - i, 5 - s, 6 - t.
Sadist? I suppose this phrase takes place.
I crawled to the Old Console and shook the cartridge. Abruptly, the game resumed, but Sonic stood still. In front of him stood an unknown creature, red in color. It stood with its back to me and seemed to have picked up the Emerald. Then, it turned to me and I finally saw its face. It was Knuckles with a smile down to his pelvis. His mouth was filled with black liquid, his eyes had turned black, his pupils had greatly decreased, and only one remained - red. One arm was missing, a scar was visible on his chest.
In his other hand, Knuckles (or as I called him because of the Cipher - Sadist) held the Chaos Emerald.
The Sadist stretched his hand to the side and threw the Emerald into the lava.
There was a loud explosion, which even scared me. I appeared in the Volcanic Valley. Knuckles was gone, and the floor began to crack. Probably, this happened because of the destruction of the Emerald. So far, the floor was just cracking. I ran to the nearest ring. As soon as I approached it, the Sadist jumped out of the hatch and hit me. All the Chaos Emeralds flew out of me, Knuckles picked them up and jumped back.
Explosion. Again and again. There were about six explosions, after which Sonic ended up in Green Grove. More precisely, in the Distorted Version of Green Grove. The hedgehog walked slowly, his eyes were red, the Hedgehog looked Mad. The only Road was up. I climbed the hill and saw the Enormous Sadist in the background.

Now he ruled this world.
Suddenly... The game turned off. Instead, a black screen opened. On it, photos of characters from Sonic and the names of some people appeared one by one. Finally, a photo of Metal Sonic appeared. I looked at the name out of curiosity and was stunned...

There was... My name.
Now I belong to him?

Hello. I am the father of the author of this diary. Recently, I saw that my son found a mysterious console with a Cartridge. I decided to go into it and saw a strange screen...
On a black background, Iron Hedgehog was visible. Under him was the inscription...

Daddy...
