Sonic 3D Blast 5 for the Game Boy (Not connected to the Somari hack of the same name) is a pirate original made by Makon Soft Studio. The game's release date is unclear, but it might be between 1996 and 1998 since this game uses Sega Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast and multiple Game Boy multicarts marked '1998' contain this game. The gameplay is very similar to other Makon Soft pirates, using an almost identical engine to those games. This game (as well as its hacks) is infamous due to it's quality; it's controls, level design, music and programming are notably poor.
