<< Previous Zone | — | Sonic 3D Blast Diamond Dust Zone |
— | Next Zone >> |
Diamond Dust Zone is the fourth Zone of Sonic 3D Blast for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Saturn.
Description
The Zone is set in a large glacier in the cold peaks, composed of ice walls covered in snow everywhere but the walking ground. The Zone features the classic pine trees with their green leaves frost, and streams of snow go downhill, dividing the terrain. Explosive snowmen adorn the main path.
Story
Continuing on his quest to liberating the Flickies from Dr. Robotnik's grasp, Sonic reaches the icy plains and slopes of Diamond Dust Zone.
Gameplay
As with the other Zones in this game, Diamond Dust Zone consists of two standard Acts followed by a third Act containing only the boss fight. In Acts 1 and 2, Sonic must free captured Flickies inside Badniks, depositing five of the birds into a Goal Ring to progress between sections of the Zone (usually three per Act). This Zone is filled with snowblowers that can freeze Sonic. There are also rivers of slush that Sonic can walk one, but lead to frozen spikes, as well as frozen crystal that he can break by spinning, but still hurt him if he touches them.
Overview
Act 1
Starts off with a huge, one-way slide, then traversing past exploding snowman into a huge drop into the lower snow-covered plains. Past the first avalanche, the Badniks begin to appear.
Act 2
Act 3
Sonic reaches a rather square shaped room containing only eight Rings and faces off against Dr. Robotnik (see Boss below).
Boss
In keeping with the icy theme, Dr. Robotnik has augmented his Egg Mobile with eight freezing-gas pods he has dotted around the Zone. Robotnik begins as usual, hovering tantalizingly above Sonic's reach, but he'll soon swoop down and attempt to blast the hedgehog with a jet of cryogenic vapor. The nozzles fire cyclically, so the player must land a hit on Robotnik when the wave of chilling gas is on the other side of his vehicle. To spice things up a bit, Robotnik occasionally drops exploding snowmen onto the battlefield.
Trivia
- A remix of the music for Act 1 of Diamond Dust Zone from the Mega Drive and Sega Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast is used in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood as the music for Central City and Blue Ridge Zone, respectively.
