Sonic 3D Blast 5 (not to be confused with the Somari hack of the same name) is a bootleg Game Boy game created by a Chinese company called Yong Yong/Makon Soft. It was made some time before 1996-1998. The gameplay is meant to be similar to the Sonic games on the Game Gear, such as the 8-bit Sonic 1 and 2. This game is infamous for its various flaws, such as wonky physics, ear bleeding music, and level design. This game has many hacks, such as Sonic Adventure 7 and 8, Super Mario Special 3, Jade, Diamond, and Mewtwo Strikes Back (not to be confused with the Telefang hack of the same names), and Rockman 8 and Rockman X4.
Also has a Fan Remake known as Sonic Blasting Adventure

- A Winner Is You: Winning gives you a screen of Sonic standing behind a giant "THE END" text with a single credit along the bottom.
- Checkpoint Starvation: None of the levels have any checkpoints.
- Covers Always Lie: The box art makes it look like a Game Boy port of Sonic 3D Blast or something else, but it's really a platformer.
