I just finished Sonic 3D Blast. It's a pretty good game... the only downsides really are a few frustrating jumps (when they require you to land on specifc, narrow platforms) and that fact that it's really way too long a game for there to be no saving... that stuff was tolerable on the NES, kind of, but the Genesis has way too many of them. There's no excuse for a big game like this, released in 1996, to not have saving... and even less of one for the PC and Saturn versions to not have it either! The game takes several hours to play through, assuming you don't run out of continues and get game over... I only got six of the chaos emeralds so I didn't fight the real final boss, but I don't exactly want to go play it again right now. There is a stage select code, but saving is always better. Oh well... It definitely has amazing graphics for the Genesis, both in the game and the special stages, and pretty good gameplay too... outside of landing on narrow platforms, the isometric controls work quite well.
