Sonic CD | Ep. #1 | Time Trav | Super Beard Bros 10th Anniversary Collection

[@tenkzplays]

I really loved the original intro music "Sonic Boom".

[@SonicTheCutehog]

You either need to destroy all the robot generators or collect all of the Time Stones to get the true ending. The Metal Sonic projections are optional and destroying them makes the woodland creatures appear over the act.

[@tonyveron]

Oh, I thought you **had** to smash the Metal Sonic generators too. I looked it up a few times when I played CD, and they all said if you do the generator route, Metal Sonic generators count too

[@SonicTheCutehog]

The Spin Dash option changes how it works. Genesis functions like how it does in Sonic 2 and 3 where you can mash the button to make it go further. Original functions as it does in the original Sonic CD where it cannot be charged and there is a delay before you can release it.

[@smugsneasel]

I see that Jirard and Alex are fans of Toot Toot Sonic Warrior. Respect. Full Respect.

I've heard the main difference between Coke and Pepsi is Pepsi has more sugar and so is sweeter than Coke. Because of this Pepsi tastes better if you just have a taste of it (so it tends to perform better in taste tests), but the sweetness gets a little overbearing if you have a full glass of Pepsi which is why people tend to prefer Coke.

[@DeadMoon1986]

Obligatory Special Stage facts (Forgive me) -The goal is to take out 6 stationed UFOs before time runs out -Rings do little more than just add to score -Some UFOs contain super rings, while others contain power sneakers -Time is reduced by several seconds when Sonic touches any water areas -When time is 20 sec or less, a new UFO appears in the middle of the stage that gives extra time if hit

[@cmrobbins88]

Wait… I only had to get the Time Stones and not worry about the holograms and transporters? Oh my aching back.

[@JamesQPurcell]

Sonic CD is like an alternative universe Sonic 2 that we actually got.

[@OGM_OriginalGameMusic]

That jungle/drum n bass track is so sick

[@VncentValntine]

3:50 in and it must be stated that BOTH of the soundtracks are amazing in their own rights.

[@Makeshift_Housewife]

I haven't seen sonic cd since i was a kid with it. what a trip down memory lane!

[@samcortez420]

Shout-out to Jirard's beard growing a Jirard

[@Shala_Boi]

1:26 I've never played Sonic CD but this opening was on one of the GameCube collections. The song with Sonic Boom rocking through my tv speakers mesmerized me as a kid and now I get a deep nostalgic jolt in my heart whenever I watch it now. Suck that the music can't be heard on the playthrough, but it kicks every kind of ass and it makes me happier than I know how to discribe.

[@cmrobbins88]

Yeah it was the Sonic Gems collection. I didn’t have a GameCube so I had the Mega Collection Plus on PS2. That one didn’t have CD sadly.

[@Shala_Boi]

@@cmrobbins88 Neither did the Gems collection. I just absolutely love the song Sonic Boom. I recently learned it has a chilled out version of it and I'm in love with the soft "sonic booooom, sonic booooooo-oooommmm" It makes my heart melt.

[@remember2save]

I enjoyed this game as a completionist on the xbox360, the achievements made you find every secret and do everything that you could easily miss in this version. to the machines and metal sonic hologram for the good future change in every level (good future jp music slaps). definitely a different kind of sonic game, was hard getting used to backtracking in the levels. glad the bros are diving in!

[@buchiklop110]

The Japanese BGM may be superior, but Sonic Boom is the superior opening theme BY FAR.

[@Deraphim]

I’d also add that the US soundtrack has a couple of bangers. JP is definitely better overall, but it’s not like the other is complete garbage

[@manguy01]

"Super Sonic Warrior" fits right in with Sonic R music

[@DrBacon22]

Sonic boom fucking slaps

[@shikamaru317]

I personally think the US soundtrack is overall better. Both soundtracks have some great tracks for certain stages and time periods, but the US soundtrack overall fits the themeing of the stages better than the Japanese soundtrack, which feels pretty random on some stages with no clear match to the theme of the stage. Sonic Boom is definitely the better opening though, way better.

[@jumpdasky09]

That wave of Beard Bros and vibes can't beat it... with the sound track slappin!!

[@Skellman98]

what I always remember hearing about the Pepsi challenge was that Sweeter drinks do better in sip tests, but do worse if tasked with drinking an entire glassful. Pepsi is noticeably sweeter than Coke... so they purposely made the Pepsi Challenge a sip test to skew the odds in their favor.

[@Frostynezz]

I've never seen this game played before, pretty awesome

[@vyperii]

The Time stones are not the chaos emeralds. The time mechanic does change things. If you destroy the generator in the past you can visit the good future of each level. The drop dash is not from Sonic CD. It was a new mechanic in Sonic Mania. The megadrive/genesis spindash is different to the version in the original CD. It charges once instead of being revved up. Sonic has the Super Peel Out which can be revved up to gain more speed.

[@simonwalvis]

I've never enjoyed the look and sound of a Sonic game more than this one.

[@cmrobbins88]

Yeah this game captures the Sonic vibe on another level.

[@Davey_Cakes]

I played this on the PC back in the day. The US soundtrack was refreshingly different IMO.

[@jimmyjazz7414]

I would absolutely watch Time Travis

[@shawnheatherly]

Oh, this'll be awesome. I know very little on this so it's gonna be all new for me.

[@godspeedyoublacknerd]

I've never seen this game all the way through and I get to watch some of my favorite youtube boys play it

[@MrHypnofan]

Supposedly, during the original pepsi challenge, they purposely served the Coke samples warmer and flatter than the pepsi samples.

[@GreatGospel97]

This is so fun! Really excited for this leg of the adventure!

[@MegatronJon8]

Sonic's one of those franchises that I have absolutely no interest in playing and zero nostalgia for, but I'll watch every single SBB Sonic series.

[@Micaelangel07]

What a ride this episode was! Can't wait to watch it again.

[@CthulhuianBunny]

Jirard is absolutely rocking the salt & pepper beard!

[@Sith9890]

I've never seen anything from Sonic CD this should be interesting

[@Texas713]

Am I the only one who prefers the American opening for Sonic cd?

[@thajocoth]

I did the Pepsi Challenge once... Both tasted like a bad batch of cola to me. I generally prefer Pepsi, but picked the Coke side in that challenge randomly.

[@atylorb]

This was my firat sonic game strangely enough

[@TimidTabby84]

If I wasn't here for Jirad and Alex's playthrough and only for the music of this game and got hit with that weird new song in the opening, I would have been like Peter Griffin by now and stood up from my seat, raise my arms up, and cry "DONE!!!" and walk out.

[@OnslaughtSix]

It's not new, it's the Japanese intro

[@Peters_Pasqually]

It's interesting that there are technically 3 different sequels to Sonic the Hedgehog, genesis sonic 2, game gear sonic 2, and sonic cd. We're in the timeline where the genesis sonic 2 became the canonical one. Lol

[@Artista_Frustrado]

so, thing is, all 3 are canon Sequels just not in the order you think, the timeline is: Sonic 1 -> Sonic CD -> Sonic 2 Gen -> Sonic 3&K -> Sonic 2GG

[@Endrance88]

Imo the English theme song for the intro cut scene is way better than the Japanese song.

[@sammorin254]

If Alex played Time Travis, as in the character, I would watch it.

[@AnimaMandala]

You guys will probably be done this game by the time you see this, but the Time Stones are 100% not the Chaos Emeralds. I thought so at first too, but they are their own set of gems exclusive to this game.

[@shatzie]

So excited to finally watch you guys play CD!

[@sadsurferx]

LOVE this game so much, friend had Sega CD and we played the hell out of it. I prefer the US OST, still listen to it.. 🤙

[@sashajanre1664]

Petition for Time Travis to become a thing

[@Used__Napkin]

Sad to say that I think the reason I never dug Sonic CD is because I had only played it with the US sound track. Sorry for the composer, but goddamn the JP soundtrack absolutely owns.

[@ThisIsCSDX]

Wait, I thought you needed to also destroy the Metal Sonic projections to get a Good Future. Also, damn, I feel emasculated by how perfect Jirard is at the 1st Special Stage.

[@TeeKay33]

Everybody Eats !

[@Artista_Frustrado]

- Sonic CD was always meant to be Sonic 1.5, the confusion came from Ken Balough getting it wrong - this opening is fantastic & I'm so glad they got TOEI animation - the Spindash selector is that Sonic CD originally uses the Sonic 1 style of Spindash, while the Taxman version added the Sonic 2 spindash & the Origins version ads the Sonic Mania's dropdash as well - nope, ALL the music was CD quality. however the music of the Past versions was hard coded so they couldn't change it - also the US soundtrack is good but is not 9/10 good like the JP soundtrack, i will not take this baseless slander

[@yolomolo2736]

Watched halfway through the video, said “I could do better with the robot generators in the past”, actually played through the entire game in 3 hrs destroying the generators and getting the good ending. I hate those time stone special stages

[@crunchysalmons]

sega technical institute, STI. STI also stands for sexually transmitted infection. this coincidence is a metaphor for the sonic franchise

[@BalthorYT]

Very topical that you'd mention this, JesusDicks

[@barrothontherocks3325]

i feel like the coke and pepsi thing is because pepsi has a fruitier sweet taste so that kinda sticks and brings the acidity of the coke down a notch

[@Commodore128]

Nice, my favorite Sonic game! As for the soundtracks, I honestly like them both. Many of the tracks are the same anyway, but I have nothing against the new ones for the international release. They're different, sure, but it's not like they're bad. I dunno, maybe it's just one of those "the original is always the best" kind of things for some people. One of the few things that I do take issue with in this game is how pointless the Future stages are. The Past is where the objectives are, the Present is where you start, but the Future doesn't really serve a purpose besides changing the background against the bosses. It's a cool mechanic and all, but I wish it was just a little more fleshed out.

[@alvarostockle]

I've never heard that opening theme! Although I'm very used to that melody. I don't get it!

[@Pimpgamer101]

Already got one bad future, damn bro, you need to go to the past in every act.

[@Kurohyasha]

I prefer Sonic Boom (the song, not the show and ESPECIALLY not the game) than to the opening music used. I also remember in the Time Stone rounds, if you take too long, more UFOs appear. And for the bonus for Sonic CD, could you play the American song, Sonic Boom, for Alex?

[@FwendlyMushwoom]

The Sonic Boom show was fucking great dude, it's hilarious

[@Kurohyasha]

@@FwendlyMushwoom Nothing against the show. I never saw it, but I was definitely dissing the game. I saw Jirard’s review. Any game that doesn’t let you complete it isn’t a game IMO.

[@apollolux]

Teleportation, yeaaaaauuuuuaaaaaaaaa, ska-bi-di bap bap!

[@batofdestiny]

7:40 Doesnt this sequence happen in Sonic Mania too?

[@red5robb1]

i have played through CD a few times, i dont really like it for the most part because the gimmick of time travel is so scuffed....i think ive only time travelled like twice because its so hard to do

[@the_frozen_tortoise]

Tails has Passed

[@UnrealMisterD]

JP Soundtrack > US Soundtrack, but Sonic Boom >>>>>>> The JP intro song

[@TheWcasey]

Trivia is BACK!!!

[@FwendlyMushwoom]

and like half of it is wrong

[@quentc]

The Egg is Once Again Man, man

[@BigTasty5599]

Aw yeah baby. This is one of my favorite Sonic games right here. The Japanese soundtrack for this game is amazing!

[@Deraphim]

The thing about uninterrupted speed in sonic cd is that the level design hates you and they hate when you have fun, so they make it unreasonably hard to do that thing frequently. It’s like they knew the levels didn’t let you trigger the jumps most of the time so they shoved in a bunch of places where two springs face each other b/c otherwise it would never happen

[@FlexxibleFree]

The game looks and sounds amazing! But feels kinda slowish

[@Artista_Frustrado]

yeah CD goes for more exploration than Linear, but once you know the layout you can just zoom

[@atylorb]

Almost got confused cuz I thought you just played this one lol

[@buzzthebuzzard5267]

I grew up on Pepsi, Coke just taste too syrupy to me.

[@TheCreepypro]

for some reason I thought this was after sonic 2

[@zanithony1276]

Even tho you said JP is kinda better than US, you can still do US since it fits the atmosphere of every level, as JP makes the entire game much hype. Both of them are good, but since its opinion, its okay though, just saying that US kinda fits the atmosphere of sonic CD (except for the boss that makes eggman menacing but sometimes a joke.)

[@bastien-]

It hurts me spiritually to not hear Sonic Boom during the opening cinematic. Overall, the Japanese soundtrack is much too hectic and overly complex. There's way too much going on, and too quickly.

[@thewal1ofsleep]

Loving this. However, the game volume during the intro cutscene was way too loud. It made it a bit difficult to hear the Bros conversation.

[@Finalest]

:)

[@manguy01]

I don't care what people say. Sonic CD was just an unfun tech demo. Music, sure. But it's hit and miss. Animation was amazing. Toei doing great work. Watched that countless times as a kid!

[@wdavis911]

Stop saying super beard brothers when that’s not the web address

[@JSMan5000]

So neither Alex nor jirard recognized that sonic mania ripped off the special stages?? Strange

[@apollolux]

What? No, they talk about it during the first special stage.

[@FwendlyMushwoom]

So much incorrect "trivia" in this lmao

[@gishigoshi]

Look I hate to be that guy but it’s always funny how they claim to be the trivia show and both of them just say incorrect facts constantly. “The drop dash is from this game. The spin dash rather” come on y’all

[@quentc]

There are a lot of games to keep track of; unless ur "on" all the time about the nitty gritty it's fairly easy to generalize, misremember, and misspeak about a game u aren't an expert on Some KZbinrs like that nitty gritty, some don't, some mix it up When it's something very easily verifiable or dismissible I'd try not to fault them that too much The comments are here to catch errors, offer feedback, and hopefully be read sometimes so I'm glad when I see a correction down here that helps me understand a game better

[@roryalexanderm]

do you though

[@quentc]

yea sometimes
