A 3D Sonic Team game! On the Sega Saturn! And it was built with a specific controller in mind! TRIPLE THREAT

Debug Mode
SEGA was apparently clever enough to delete the Debug Menu (and the ABRACADABRA code used to access it) from the game before release, but not enough to delete the actual debug functions. Using the Action Replay cartridge, you can re-enable certain specific parts of the menu.

Trivia
English Language Translation on Japanese Disc
To do:
|
Oddly, the Japanese version of this game actually contains its own full English translation. Although the Sega Saturn's bios prevents you from running games detected to be out-of-region without some sort of workaround, successfully getting through this region lock to run the Japanese version on a non-Japanese console (or at least an American one), will cause the game to run in full English. It should be noted that even when run on a Japanese console, the Japanese version of this game is still presented largely in English, with only the hints displayed after bosses or upon a Game Over being displayed in Japanese. It would appear that this game detects the region of the console it is being run on at runtime, independently of the system bios' region locking procedures.
