Actually there is a point to going to the future, though its not a huge one. The bad future is an obstacle, full stop. You end up in a harder, uglier version of the level and you would need to travel back to make it easier. The good future is an easier variant, removing enemies and even outright shutting off certain obstacles (like the Wacky Workbench electricity for example) allowing for much smoother level progression. If you get all the time stones, all levels are automatically set to the good future, which lets you just jump there and cruise through the level freely.

9:23 I'm a sonic nerd so let me tell you, Sonic 2 was originally gonna have a time travel system too! Seen in early prototypes of Sonic 2, specifically the Simon Wai prototype, there was a level named Wood zone or something. Apparently, that zone was gonna be a sort of past version of Casino Night Zone. That was confirmed. And because I know this, It makes me sad there isn't a Time travel mechanic in Sonic 2.

[@EclipseMakesContent]

I remember hearing about this and this being confirmed made my day

[@lowqualityvideos8091]

and it is more interesting than sonic cds time travel, time traveling got you to an entirely new zone!

[@EclipseMakesContent]

@@lowqualityvideos8091 Can you imagine what that would have been like in cd

[@GameAW1]

Correction: Wood Zone was confirmed. Time travel was not. The prototype had Wood Zone and the Metropolis music, but the prototype only had the same music we had in the final, minus the unused Hidden Palace music. Seeing as it was a beta, Wood Zone was equally likely to be its own zone but cut early in development. (The already pretty late in development Simon Wai prototype has Wood Zone HEAVILY unfinished, even worse than Hidden Palace is)

To be fair, most people would probably settle for the Genesis version when theh need a $300 add on just to play the CD version, which is why Scott said there should've been a bigger push for more original games beyond the FMV games it was notable for; better versions of Genesis games don't make for an enticing library for an add on for the Genesis, nor do mediocre at best FMV games.

He didn't say it was bad, he just called it unoriginal by Sega CD standards. Sure it has more content - but let me put it this way - it's still just a port.

Sonic CD Takes Place Before Sonic 2, thats why he has a "Horrible Spindash" before Mastering it with the Help of Tails in Sonic 2. Sonic CD was being Developed First in Japan as the Sequel to Sonic 1 with Sonic 2 later staring development in the US. They decided to have Sega Of USA finish Sonic 2 First so that Sonic CD can have some extra time to be developed, Most of the Time was spent on the Soundtrack, Especially the Past Music which had to be programmed to play from the Mega CDs Ricoh Soundchip due to Storage Constraints (which explains why it isnt changed for the USA). and giving Toei and Junio time to make the Intro and Ending Videos

[@shade08538]

I don’t get that, if this truly does take place before 2, then why did Eggman make Metal Sonic in this game, and then freaking Genesis Silver Sonic in the next?

[@superplayerex2431]

​@@shade08538 Different teams had different ideas, I suspect this could be explained by Eggman trying out different ideas and experimenting with different features and models for a "Metal Sonic". The Sonic CD Metal Sonic could've been created for racing with Sonic, the Sonic 2 model of it could've been created as a prototype combat robot in Eggman's attempts at countering Sonic, while the Sonic 3 & Knuckles model of Metal Sonic could've been created as a far more evolved combat prototype of the Sonic 2 model with far greater power output. Then again, I don't think it matters that much. Out of all things that don't make sense when you put Sonic CD between Sonic 1 and Sonic 2, this is one of the only few. It otherwise fits really well between those two games story-wise. It's not like there are also the 8-bit Sonic games which are way harder to put into the general timeline because of their various "lore breaks".

@@jaredargento1511 I actually did get the good ending on my second play through as sonic. I did all the time stones but missed only metallic madness generators since getting all the time stones makes the generators disappear. The generators were not that well implemented I agree with that. But getting the good ending by getting the time stones and generators were still fun and worth it. Seeing the good future for each stage was so cool. Metallic madness had the coolest good future. It is very hard but I thought it was a great reward other than other games having super sonic. Sonic CD is probably the only sonic game I got 100% on other than mania. The mini games of getting the chaos emeralds in sonic 1, 2, and 3 were just less fun I didn't get that.

[@jaredargento1511]

Andrew Harris Well, collecting the Chaos Emeralds was never the most fun to me in the classic games either, but with the exception of Sonic 1, I’ve now gotten to the point where I can do it fairly comfortably. But with CD, no matter how I try to get the good ending, and despite always pulling it off at the end of the day, I always have a less-than-enjoyable time.

[@AndroidHarris]

@@jaredargento1511 ah I will say CD does definitely doesn't do the greatest job with the collectables but I will say it's the most fun out of all the classic games in my opinion do to the ufo minigame being the most fun although the generators arent that great. I do think seeing the good future and listening to the good future music is worth it though. While sonic 1 you don't really get anything. Sonic 2 the minigame is just too annoying and sonic 3 is less annoying but they decided to add another set of chaos emerald called hyper emeralds just to make it more confusing lol. I do like mania in terms of collectables more than CD though. However I love CD in terms of style more than mania. I feel mania improved on every returning stage besides the CD ones. I feel the CD stages in mania were the only ones I preferred the original. Also metallic madness was the only returning final stage in mania I think due to it being the least stupid.

[@BlueSatoshi]

9:23 Funnily enough, Sonic 2 was gonna have a time travel plot, albeit explored linearly as the game progressed.
