The story of its development and its cancellation doesn't just tell the story of a failed game Really, it follows the story of the meteoric rise and devastating fall of one of the biggest video game companies of all time. As Sega's headquarters was located in Japan, the first Sonic the Hedgehog game was developed there.
Due to internal troubles with the leadership in Japan, the team left to work in the United States where they would develop the sequel. However, due to even more internal troubles, the biggest being a language barrier between the two sides, the Japanese team made Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic and Knuckles alone even though they still worked within the STI offices.
The initial Sonic sequels had their developments mapped out for them. All they needed to be were speedy platformers through a variety of colorful zones. However, the American side of STI had their work cut out for them.
From the start, they wanted the game to be a new take on the franchise. Sonic Mars , Sonic Bluestreak , and Sonic were some of the many titles considered for the project. Sonic would've been more of an adaptation of the Saturday morning cartoons. There would have been more of a focus on story and unique gameplay mechanics and less on speed.
Sonic Mars was going to be Sonic's first foray into 3D. Yuji Naka, one of Sonic's creators, wasn't impressed by either of the prototypes. Instead of words of wisdom, he only told the team "good luck. Losing a key member of a production team can spell doom for almost any production.

At first Sonic 3D Blast was released to be Sonic 's first 3D game, but the game used isometric view which merely gives the illusion of 3D and it was very poorly received.
Sega decided to make a real Sonic 3D game, originally the game was being developed for the Sega 32X add-on, but due to terrible sales and the Sega Saturn being released, they moved the game to that system. Yuji Naka clearly had little faith in the project, as when he was shown a prototype all he said was "Good Luck". At first the development of the game seemed to be going well, a reveal trailer was shown promising Sonic 's jump to 3D.
However the developers overestimated the Saturn's capabilities, as when they attempted to run the game on an actual Saturn it simply wouldn't work. This was because the Saturn's 3D capabilities were rather lackluster when compared to the PlayStation and Nintendo Sega of Japan was infuriated by the lack of progress they had done. Sega attempted to give the team the game engine from Nights Into Dreams to use as starting point to get the game working to run in a Saturn, but when Yuji Naka found out he threatened to quit unless they stopped.
The team was split into several smaller teams to build new engines. This predictably only caused more problems, communication between the teams was minimal and the deadline for release was coming soon. Developers worked for hour and hours non-stop for months.
