"Sonic X-treme is an unreleased platform game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was originally developed by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis but was moved to the Sega 32X and eventually to the Sega Saturn and intended to be released around Christmas of 1996, but after numerous problems and a long hiatus of development hell, it was finally dropped in 1997. It would have been the first fully 3D Sonic game and the first original Sonic title developed for the Sega Saturn. The game's director Chris Senn has organized a Sonic X-treme remake project entitled Project S, which started development late in 2006.

[...]

Sonic X-treme was originally intended to be developed for several other game systems prior to the Sega Saturn. In its earliest conception, the game was set to be released on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and later on the 32X, under the name Sonic Mars (based upon the codename for the 32X). However, it was quickly decided that the game would require much more powerful hardware to cope with the new engine, and for commercial reasons, the release of a Sonic game on the new Sega Saturn console was a necessity. Sonic Mars would also have featured Sally Acorn and the other Freedom Fighters[1].

Sonic X-treme was eventually cancelled because of many internal problems."

@rekki111 no. super mario galaxy reminds you of this game...

[fierothehedgehog]

I would have so bought a SEGA Saturn if this came out.

[TheCollinsd1]

AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT THINKS MARIO GALAXY COPIED THIS

[WaddleDee105]

@AquaTiger20XX : Amy was not going to be Knuckles girlfriend. Amy was created back in 1992. (Sonic CD came out in 1993) Knuckles was created in 1993 and was made for Sonic 3 (1994).

@AquaTiger20XX Not all Mario and Nintendo fans are like that you know. Some love Sonic and Nintendo.

The first showings of Sonic Xtreme had poor reception...

I can actually see why, despite the game itself looking epic.

[supermcgrewbros3]

@fierothehedgehog yay i know that but i want to be able to play as sonic though

[FashionistoIRE]

This game looks just like a more 3D version of Flickies' Island which was a pile of shit. This was not going to be Sonic Adventure, I am glad he got his 3D debut there instead.

[heavymetal4000]

this game never came out but then after Nights came along and fited the concept and took it

[DrQuijano]

This would have been an epic non-Sonic game. It doesn't have enough space to be fast.

and later it was once again ported into a wee little game we call SONIC ADVENTURE

only with the original sonic and stuff
