==Gameplay==
The majority of the game is played in an isometric view, divided up into two segments: Platforming episodes and Boss episodes. The levels are split into segments, each of which are somewhat similar.
Birdies are not needed to complete the game. However, to battle the final boss, every single Birdie (Located in random places on the episode map.) must be collected.
The Platforming episodes are, for the most part, similar to gameplay in Sonic 3D Blast, albeit much more RECHSOFT-like. Enemies can not be defeated by a Goomba Stomp, but instead by kicking and punching them to death. All enemies must be defeated before a level is completed.
The Boss episodes play similar to the boss levels in Sonic 3D Blast, but with a twist; every boss must be completed without taking a hit, as they each carry lethal weapons.
Health is split into four "quadrants", as in Spikeyfruit. Taking damage (Unless from a lethal object such as spikes, flames, or gunfire.) removes one quadrant. If all four quadrants are depleted, a life is lost. If this occurs when there are no lives left, a game over occurs.
