Longplay of Sonic CD

[@ecernosoft3096]

That audio... and that graphics... just goes to show the power of the CD!

[@TotalGore]

This is my first time seeing gameplay of Sonic CD. As a reminder, I’ve only seen the opening and ending movies thanks to the Sonic collection on GameCube in 2002. It’s amazing to see this is where Metal Sonic and Amy Rose made their debut alongside bringing some mechanics from Sonic 2 into the first. Heavily impressed, I’d love to play this in the future!

[@artey6671]

In the future? Maybe you have to go back into the past first.

[@loganw1232]

I love the Sonic Boom opening.

Much better than game itself if talkin about Sonic Boom

[@drswag0076]

to think they would make a game and TV series based on that title.

[@pauldadzie6991]

A master piece. Sega genesis /mega drive was the console for me. Thought it was nostalgia but seeing this game reinforces my belief.

[@lucalone]

this game was on Sega CD !

[@thepcuser5469]

If only the level design wasn’t as questionable as it ended up being, I would have liked this.

[@RetroGameSpacko]

exactly my thoughts on this game. It looks all so random like someone furiously placed stuff onto the maps without looking.

[@thepcuser5469]

@@RetroGameSpacko yet some people are saying it’s the hidden gem of classic sonic games, this could actually be the worst sonic game due to its level design that feels like they just put a bunch of random objects and enemies together, and you don’t even get a reward for collecting all 7 time stones, just a good ending, yeah the same goes for sonic 1, but at least you need to get only 6 chaos emeralds instead of 7 time stones.

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

I know this may sound crazy, but I consider this as a midquel to the first 2 Sonic games. This took place after the events of the original Sonic game and before the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. But on the plus side, at least fans who were lucky enough to have a Sega CD get to play this game while waiting for Sonic 3 to come out.

[@thisisaloadofbarnacles]

That’s not far fetched at all actually. In fact, Yasushi Yamaguchi from Sonic Team stated that this timeline possibly takes place between those two games. Though, Naoto Oshima doesn’t view it as a sequel, but rather a re-imagining of Sonic 1. Given that this game is built off the first game instead of the second entry, however, Sonic CD would definitely be the 1.5 game.

Yes

I disagree

[@kinger41]

That is, if you're playing the Windows 95 version or later.

[@Realtacl]

@@kinger41 still disagree. As a big CD fan,I have boiled it down to Metal Sonic being the best part.

@@Realtacl Fair, Metal Sonic is a cool character.

[@drswag0076]

this is the game where both Metal Sonic and Amy Rose debut. although Amy looks very different from the design we see her in now. plus this is how her and Sonic met and her mind, it was love in first sight.

[@SorenDaein]

I never played the original since I didn't have a Sega CD or a copy of the game. Only got to try this game thanks to Sonic Gems Collection. Everytime I use the "Time Travel" mechanic, I have a habit of saying "Chaos Control" due to having played Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube. Each time I played the game I'd ALWAYS aim for getting the Time Stones but I never bothered to go after those Badnik Generators since I preferred to let the Time Stones help me make Good Futures and get the good ending.

Y'all remember back when the majority of sonic fans actually liked this game and didn't call it a "mess of good ideas and bad execution".

[@RetroGameSpacko]

actually no, I'm 40. I already thought that back then. I mean, come on, many parts look like some kid got his hand on the level edit cheat and just ragingly added stuff to the level. Rings floating in walls and stuff like that. This game was clearly rushed.

[@demetriuskafkoulas5005]

@@RetroGameSpacko Sonic 2 also had moments where rings are located in walls because the level layouts were changed from the betas, and the development time didn't allow them to edit out the rings. Also, I never understood this argument about levels feeling like they were designed by idiotic kids with no effort put into their designs. Okay yeah, wacky workbench is abysmal and stardust speedway is a convoluted mess, but no levels felt absolutely careless in design. I always considered palmtree panic, some sections of collision chaos, tidal tempest, quartz quadrant, and metallic madness act 1 to be really enjoyable when exploring and getting a good future on them, and i can see a lot of effort being placed into their structures to make exploration and backtracking fun.

[@hazell-moranhomemovies6731]

I was wrong, first damage at 34:42 fighting Robotnik. Tough break, he had 1 hit left.

[@hazell-moranhomemovies6731]

This is a masterful run. No deaths, only took damage 4 times, 3 in Metallic Madness Act 3 and one of those 3 was just losing the shield. Accessed every special stage wherever possible, beat every special stage on the first try, used the past/future dynamic in every act possible and got a good future in every act in the game. Then you schooled us in the sound test after the game and unlocked all the easter eggs. Oh, and you beat the secret special stage with Robotnik's giant head. One which I swear I played during the regular campaign yet you didn't. Those UFOs dive and dart out of your way every time, used to drive me insane.

As much as Sonic CD is a bit of a different style of gameplay, what with exploration and such, if the way these stages were designed had been how the original Sonic the Hedgehog's later stages were, I think people would look at the first Sonic much more fondly. As it is now, Sonic 1 really only contributed Green Hill Zone to fan favorites.

In many ways Sonic CD can thus indeed be considered a improved reimagining of Sonic 1.
