The funniest part of the stage select is the possible playground rumors. “Hey Josh, have you seen the secret level select? You have to type barracuda in the title screen!” “No you have to do this and that to cause it to show up!” “I thought you had to slap the crap out your genesis to get it” “shut up Tim nobody is falling for that”
Sonic sneezing was prob used when you enter a boss fight because in the comics when sonic senses danger he sneezes it also might have been used for that butterfly enemy because it drops dust on you
@@pieofchart I actually think it could be from that little detail, in the opening of sonic cd sonic sneezes right before the mountain blows up (it’s super fast and hard to notice but I promise I’m not lying)
the sound in 1:12 could also be a sneeze, which could also go with the unused sneeze sprite. the sneeze was his superpower back then, and whenever he sneezed it meant danger was nearby. the reason the sneeze was removed was probably because it would’ve happened often since there are lots of badniks in the game
@@boboley if that was true then we probably would’ve seen unused dust sprites Also him sneezing when danger is nearby makes more sense, since they added a clip of him sneezing in the intro animation, which probably means they were originally intending to add that sneezing sprite in the game
34:20 Looking at it now, i have a feeling that its an unused sprite meant to be a transition for knuckles going from running or standing into a spin dash
46:23 Im pretty sure that both of these voice clips were meant for tails. It sounds like they belong to him. While im not too sure exactly what they were meant for, the "hey!" Clip maybe would have been used if sonic carried tails and hurled him into an obstacle that caused him to lose rings or die due to how annoyed the clip sounds. The "lets go!" Is even more of a mystery, but i think it would have been used in the same vein as how sonic says "yes!" When you get an extra life in sonic CD.
21:05 that flickering and the effect of the stage crumbling leads me to believe this was some sort of bomb object that’d alter the level layout to allow for travel on higher paths.
Either I'm "mandela"ing, or, the heart eyes were totally used in the original PC release of Sonic CD I had as a kid, as I remember, if you stand still, she'd kiss sonic, get the heart eyes, then chase you around with hearts coming off her the whole way or until you ran far enough away.
@@ashcyr3711 I get that, but I never actually bothered to stand still to see that interaction in the re-release, I mean the one from the 90s, as I never owned a Sega CD as a kid, but I did get the game on PC.
Now that I think about it, I have an original copy of the pc release, I may get to figuring it out when I have the chance to answer this once and for all.
I remember the time I was playing sonic 3-D blast for my Genesis and I accidentally hit the cartridge and the congratulation screen popped up, and I almost crapped myself. It scared me so much.
In my opinion, the Sega logo voice in the finished version of _Sonic 3D_ feels like a reflection of the turmoil Sega of America had at the time in hindsight.
Cybershell pointed this out in his Sonic 2 movie review, but there’s an edited/recreated Super Sonic 32x sprite in the credits of the second movie so it got some nice use eventually.
37:30 that has to be an emulation issue, I have actual hardware and 10 stars doesn't crash immediately, he will crash the game on occasion but he's somewhat functional he doesn't fly, you can move around and jump with him and that's it
1:19:30 leitmotif of this song is similar to the beginning melody of the US intro song to Sonic X, the "rolling around at the speed of sound"; has the same rhythm and melodic pattern. whether that's intentional or not is anyone's guess but I like to think it is
52:56 I think it’s vector, because there is Charmy, Knuckles, Bomb, and Heavy listed. The rest are Mighty, Espio, and VECTOR. Maybe Tails’ color palate is only left over.
I DEFINTELY want you to do a full video of Knuckles Chaotix. i belong to a small, insignificant minority who not only played it, but also loved it. You can ALSO go into ring debt in the final game. If you just keep calling your partner over and over again. You can't die from it, but it guarantees a one hit kill
it checks out that none of the s3d prototypes have the 3d intro yet, IIRC one of jon's gamehut videos mentions that he had been saving space on the cartridge during the entire dev cycle and he dropped the intro in unceremoniously in like the final week of development in order to surprise sega, and reportedly they liked it
2:50 These were almost certainly for the special stages in the game, not some unseen top-down segment. It's likely the top sprites were when Sonic hit something he would fall back on his butt, and the bottom sprites were an alternate jump or even bouncing from a spring.
How did he not notice that for the first prototype the star links are different than the final version in fact I think that the sparkles that he assumed was for supersonic is that and the sounds of someone saying hey and let's go I believe is Tails it sounds like him and it was removed from future builds because Tails was no longer playable.
4:24 That's in Sonic Mania, you can only access it from Debug Mode, but it forces Sonic to transform into Super Sonic, forces meaning that it can happen without the Chaos Emeralds, when you trigger it that way, you can still go into the Emerald stages, but you will need to use another one of those to trigger the transformation again...
6:57 the best part is CD was going to be made before 2 so i could imagine some kid putting random numbers in the sound test then unlocking this and thinking "who tf is this"
Is it just me, or does anyone else think Tails' Stage in Sonic 3D looks like Windy Valley from Sonic Adventure? Looks like music isn't the only thing they redid for Adventure.
as a huge sonic cd AND knuckles chaotix fan, i am so grateful for this.... this is really what everyone needs, or, well, atleast, everyone needs to play knuckles chaotix. its beautiful
1:56 I think this was supposed to be used as some sort of portal sonic might have got sucked in to or it have been used when the player would jump into a pit of death 2:43 I am glad that this was not used in the game because it looks like sonic might have done the unhappy thing -2:50-- might have been used when the player would go down that little thing at the beginning of the first level maybe i'm wrong-
Interesting the "HEY" and "Letsa go" sounds were removed as those are the major nintendo ip sounds of zeldas fairy thing saying "Hey" but also "Listen" and mario always saying "Letsa go"
54:48 Isn't that a feature in the final game, though? Wherr if you go so far into debt you get...warped into a strange void or something? I guess running into too much ring debt revokes your right to exist, or at the very least have to go back to the hub.
54:56 The Negative Rings mechanic is 100% intentional. Calling back your partner actually *COSTS* 10 rings, so having 9 or fewer brings your Ring count to the negatives. And no, it’s not exclusive to the prototype, *IT’S IN THE FINAL GAME.*
Majin sonic from CD was just a nice easter egg the guy put in for fun and wasnt meant to be creepy, but the design itself and the american ports changing the song that was supposed to play there (iirc its the boss music) made it creepy, creepy enough to be in alot of Sonic.EXE Material (endless, anyone?)
31:41 I think it's suppose to be good ending bc usually if u don't get the chaos emeralds he throws the emerald, but I think the context here is like " What? Where are the chaos emeralds?
Fun fact : sonic CD was supposed to be an expansion for sonic 1, it would be longer but basically just DLC. Yet then they made it a game which was supposed to be Sonic 2 but then america made sonic 2 and sonic 2. So they couldn’t have 3 sonic 2s on multiple consoles so…..
3:08 so hearing u say run like that was so creepy cus rn I’m at the beginning of the title sceeen for the last of us two and I cut my phone off but TH-cam was still playing and the first thing I heard was run 🏃♀️ lol
1:19 I have a theory about this sound. Since Sonic 2 and Sonic CD were planned to be together and there was an unused stage in Sonic 2 called Hidden Palace Zone with a trumpet Robotnik boss, I believe that this was for the trumpet. In Sonic Origins, the same thing happens in Sonic 2. Robotnik plays a trumpet that makes the same sound as this noise.
I'm actually pretty surprised there weren't more scrapped Amy animations, especially when she was kidnapped. Also, that animation has some similarities to the one with Sonic opening his mouth.
I followed the Sonic 3D blast dumps back in the day so I geeked out when the unused Boss music showed up in Sonic 4 (even if the game wasn’t great haha)
Fun Fact: Since in the Sonic: Origins collection CD is before Sonic the Hedgehog 2, this technically means, lore-wise, that Amy is the first friend Sonic *ever met.* Before Tails, Knuckles, anyone.
Idk if anyone has mentioned this already but I quickly googled it and turns out we now know who CX is! Turns out it's none other than Masato 'Majin' Nishimura himself! CXX happens to be another nickname of his, in fact in one game he is credited as 'CXXMajin'.
one interesting thing you missed palmtree panic past in v0.02 is not played in 16 bit, it is infact using the same technology present bad future and good future use! this was because the PCM on the sega cd was not finished

All the unused content and Easter eggs shows how much fun the devs had while making sonic cd.
34:20
Looking at it now, i have a feeling that its an unused sprite meant to be a transition for knuckles going from running or standing into a spin dash
okay i’m definitely very late but it’s actually a transition sprite from his jump to his gliding sprites
46:26 I think that the ''Hey'' and ''Let's go'' sound effects was intended for being used by Tails
46:23
Im pretty sure that both of these voice clips were meant for tails. It sounds like they belong to him.
While im not too sure exactly what they were meant for, the "hey!" Clip maybe would have been used if sonic carried tails and hurled him into an obstacle that caused him to lose rings or die due to how annoyed the clip sounds.

I think its in sonic mania aswell
Excellent, interesting and fascinating stuff as always TBG.

Hey, thank you so much!
Tetra saying "Run." On the unused amy sprites in sonic cd was so unsettling😭😭
the music itself makes water zones, enjoyable in Sonic games for me.
1:19:30 what if this is just Tails’ special stage theme as seen on the cassette tape list as “Special Stage (Miles)”
I gotta track down that official high resolution dot art of the six legged Badnik from CD! I love that goofy little fella. ;D
Let's just be happy his mic has gotten better and is just great
2:50 These were almost certainly for the special stages in the game, not some unseen top-down segment. It's likely the top sprites were when Sonic hit something he would fall back on his butt, and the bottom sprites were an alternate jump or even bouncing from a spring.
6:33 the way that robotnik stares at you while you are trying to complete the special stage is just.. kind of unsettling

Great video as always
Sure is

Sonic sneezes when danger is near like a spider sense, so that’s probably what that animation is for
the flashing sonic multiplayer mode is probably to get the players to take turns, while still being able to play the game

My theory is that "ring limit" would be like how many rings were in the level to know when the perfect bonus would be reached.
yay new TetraBitGaming video!!!!!

Fun Fact: Since in the Sonic: Origins collection CD is before Sonic the Hedgehog 2, this technically means, lore-wise, that Amy is the first friend Sonic *ever met.* Before Tails, Knuckles, anyone.
46:23 I think it's tails because It's a childish sound and as we have seen in Sonic CD,He doesn't have this sound.
*Tails
Also The Dimmed Sound For The Music Is Nice
CX is shorthand for Chris I bet. I've had people do shorthand of my name as Xtian.
46:21 it is likely the one saying this is tails as it sounds similar to the way his voice was represented in other media around this time
sonic sneezing is so cute 🥺
The "S" power-up can be used in Android versions by debug mode
So...we not gonna ackowledge that prototype time travel sound being scarily similar to the Phantom Ruby's sound?
22:55 that’s such a cool idea holy shit!!!!
Idk if anyone has mentioned this already but I quickly googled it and turns out we now know who CX is! Turns out it's none other than Masato 'Majin' Nishimura himself! CXX happens to be another nickname of his, in fact in one game he is credited as 'CXXMajin'.
14:02 I see I'm not the only LaserDisc fan. It's Compatible eXpansion!
CXX was likely Masato Nishimura's high score initials.
The sound effects of someone saying, "Hey!" and "Let's go!" were probably for tails since they kinda sound like a kid saying it.
one interesting thing you missed
palmtree panic past in v0.02 is not played in 16 bit, it is infact using the same technology present bad future and good future use! this was because the PCM on the sega cd was not finished
