This version was also included in Sonic Mega Collection in 2002, a compilation on the Nintendo GameCube of seven Sonic hits from the Sega Mega Drive, and was later featured in the 2004 re-release Sonic Mega Collection Plus for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 systems, which featured the seven original games, plus unlockable Game Gear titles and other bonus features. The Mega Drive version has been released on the Wii's Virtual Console service in late 2007 on the European and Japanese markets, and on 19 November 2007 in North America.
The Japanese version was released simultaneously with Sonic Adventure International as a Sega Saturn exclusive under the name Flickies' Island, although later re-releases of the Mega Drive version used the name Blast. It was developed in the United Kingdom by Traveller's Tales and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Saturn and PC. Sonic 3D Blast ( ソニック3Dブラスト, Sonikku Surīdī Burasuto ?) (North America) or Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island ( ソニック３Ｄ フリッキーアイランド, Sonikku 3D Furikkī Airando ?) (Europe and Japan) is a 1996 platformer video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
