The 100 rings in zone 3 meant something else: it supposed to meant that in all third act of all sonic cd rounds it is possible to collect 100 ring but no more no less(except CC which has less than 100 rings and WW which has more than 100 ring in their act 3s) the reason it’s called zone instead of act is because sonic cd renamed acts into zones and zones into rounds
The bad future is believed to be canon because in the outro animation for Sonic CD, sonic is seen carrying Amy out of Stardust Speedway’s bad future (the animations that were made for Sonic CD, were made very early in the game’s development, hence why R2 was still in the game, Tidal tempest wasn’t included in the animation, and Metallic Madness hadn’t been added yet thus making Stardust Speedway the original final zone).
A theory for what the “Metallic Madness is impossible” part could also refer to, is in a figurative sense. Metallic Madness was built by Eggman so there shouldn’t really be a Past version. But because there is, it’s believed that this is why the zone is under construction, and the past-theme sounds different than the others, and is more fast-paced and panicked.
The “instant time travel” actually refers to the devs original plan to make the player instantly warp the different time-periods. However, due to the limitations, there had to be a short cutscene to properly load the assets for the respective time-periods.
MMZ2 Past IS actually impossible. I know from personal experience. It's fixed in remasters but the original had a defective spring that didn't spring you far enough.
I don't think Sonic CD's bad ending is canon due to Sonic Generations or Sonic Mania, the reason why Stardust Speedway and Metallic Madness are evolving into bad futures of themselves was because Eggman found the Phantom Ruby which can do many things including give someone, such as Metal Sonic, Eggman, and Heavy King, power, also space and time manipulation. About Knuckles, he's included in the Sonic Origins Plus update in Sonic CD. Also the one who you're calling "Mazin" is actually pronounced "Majin", because there's no "zi" sound in Japanese, and the ぢ in his name is pronounced "ji", it's just that when it comes to romanization of words it's complicated for example ういきち which is the name of a Twitch streamer has her username romanized as "uikiti" when it's pronounced "uikichi". Sonic CD being a CD port of Sonic the Hedgehog makes sense because their zones bear resemblance with names and stuff. Green Hill Zone = Palmtree Panic. Marble Zone = Dubious Depths. Spring Yard Zone = Collision Chaos. Labyrinth Zone = Tidal Tempest. Star Light Zone = Stardust Speedway. Scrap Brain Zone = Metallic Madness. Quartz Quadrant and Wacky Workbench are original levels.
you forgot about the scrapped 2011 desert dazzle and final fever
"faster time travel" refers to the original idea of it being instantaneous and uninterrupted during gameplay
This is from Sonic Retro: "Although the Sonic 2 team briefly considered the idea of time travel as a play mechanic, Ohshima fully embraced the concept, being in love with the idea of having the level Sonic was running in to suddenly change around him, the player instantly being warped to a different place. When time came to program the "Time Warp" sequences, however, the lead programmer Matsuhide Mizoguchi claimed that it was impossible to do such a thing on the hardware, and instead a "loading sequence" had to be created, the brief moment where Sonic can be seen flying through a green background with stars encircling him. Though Ohshima kept on pushing the programming team to find a way to circumvent this added screen, the programmers could not find a way to modify"
there is a reference of the scrapped time travel feature in 2013 remaster of sonic 2 where in the stage select that you can get after beating death egg robot there will be a square of emerald hill, chemical plant, hill top and mystic cave since in fandom it is mentioned that emerald hill was used to be the present, meanwhile hill top wast the past, mystic cave being the ruined present and chemical plant being the future
9:16 beta theme kinda sounds ''open your heart'' song
the “Amy is from little planet” theory is most likely false due to the origins start cutscene of CD showing amy playing with tarot cards, then showing little planet coming down
I think D.A Garden means "Disk Audio Garden"
i had a theory where the true power of time stones was changing the timeline in the past, present and future
iirc the canon abilities is that it allows the user to control time, so yes it pretty much is
Awesome vid 🔥🔥 good stuff
Collision Chaos Secret Exit is attainable at the end of Act 2 when taking the highest route and landing on a strip of land above the normal exit
14:33 probably the is was suposed to be wacky workbench past but the devs forgot to remove it
Another reason why the "Bad Futures" are believed to be canon is Sonic 4: Episode Metal.
I have a new section that can be talked abt in one of your next videos on sonic! According to a comment from someone on a upload of Sonic CD's US boss theme, they said that the music was not made for the actual game but for data pirates. This can be a true theory as in the Google Play and App Stores, if you search up for the 2011 release it gives you fun facts and trivia in the description. These include the "I'm outta here!" easter egg, how the Taxman made the game and was also responsible for Mania, and how the fun is infinite screen was going to be for data pirates. Just something to let you know about to see if it's true.
If it is, then what is the real US boss theme for CD?
there's no
Why did you call Sonic Mania a 2016 game instead of a 2017 game?
was thinking about when it was announced lol
What about Quartz Quadrant Hates Su!cide?
wdym??
That one may refer to a glitch that occurred in the OG Sega CD release that stops the I'm outta here.
What about quartz quadrant hates sui, and you are the greatest player?
The quartz quadrant one refers to a glitch that occurred in the OG Sega CD release that avoids the I'm outta here, and the You're the Best Player is a screen that triggered in the Gems Collection when collecting all Time Stones & Destroying every generator & hologram... THIS VIDEO COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER EXPLAINED
