    In today's episode, Sonic CD is up next. Sega wanted a Sonic game for their upcoming Sega CD to push sales. Did it work? Not really, but we can talk about the game anyway.

      Hey interesting little tid bit about old CD games. Before developers started compressing sound files you can put the game disc in a regular CD player and it'll play the game's soundtrack. The reason is simple the devs of the games used to store game soundtracks on the CD a music disc would.

    It is actually possible to beat Metallic Madness Zone 2 in the past. The slow moving pillar actually bounces you upwards really high for some bizarre reason, allowing you to reach the top path and continue progressing. And the reason why I know this is because that was actually covered in Johnny's old review!

    CD brought over a lot of staple elements and I'll always appreciate its aesthetics and ideas but I wish there was a 2nd iteration of the time travel gimmick that took full advantage of the concept. Like make the actual time traveling easier and making exploring all versions of the stage a core gameplay element. Have moments where you have to find items in the future to bring back to the past or something along those lines. As is, there's no real gameplay incentive to go to the future, making it kind of a wasted opportunity.

    • @sodaftpm185

      Yeah, hopefully the time traveling gimmick can return to later installments. It's a great premise for a platformer that's main objective is going from point A to point B as fast as possible knowing the insides and out of the level design thus fully mastering the game. CD's time travel opens so many possibilities...

    Sonic CD’s reception feels like Sonic Unleashed in reverse. It used to be a top contender for the best Sonic game, but now it’s getting a lot more detractors in recent years. I used to really like this game, but as I played it more, I started to like it less. It’s not bad or anything, and I prefer it to Sonic 1, but I’d MUCH rather play Sonic 2 or 3 & Knuckles.

      Scott the woz's video on Sonic CD sums it up perfectly. He basically said that for years this was the elusive Sonic game that not many people played, so it was held in high regard. Once it started to get released on systems people actually own it went from being the hidden gem of the series to just another game in the series.

      Not to mention, the addition of the drop-dash has (probably inadvertently on the developers’ part) created an exploit that allows the player to super easily travel to the past, which, in addition to the removal of the ten-minute time limit, also makes the robot generator method a bit more manageable.

    This has always been my favorite 2D Sonic game. I treasure it so much, even though I agree that the level design is a bit wack and cumbersome at times. The momentum-based physics and exploration were fun to play around with in 1 and 2, but CD is where I felt it really mattered to go fast (for time travel) and find collectibles (for the good ending). It's also just an uplifting as fuck adventure that shows Sonic performing one of his earliest but most heroic feats - changing the future of a would-be doomed planet.
    As a shy and socially-awkward dude, starting the game with Toot Toot Sonic Warrior telling me "you can do anything", then beating the game with Cosmic Eternity telling me to "have faith and respect in yourself" from that point on are just sentiments that have always stuck with me when playing it. Sonic has always been cool, but this is one of those exceptional times where he's really inspiring to me.

    I will have to honestly say. CD is my favorite of the classic games. i just really fell in love with the exploration. i loved spending more time in the stages exploring. to me it made each zone feel more like a location. since youre mostly just running through zones ignoring much of it, they always feel like hyper glorified set pieces mostly.
    Also the Japanese soundtrack is superior. but i do really love the us soundtrack a lot. ESPECIALLY Stardust Speefway Present US. god that song is a vibe

    The anime that "FULL WEEB" clip is from is essentially "The Sega-Nintendo Console War with anime characters" and now I'm just sitting here wondering if Johnny put that in on purpose.

    I'm surprised Johnny didn't talk about Fun is Infinite with Sega Enterprises.

      I think he already nodded it in a older video and that comment has been done to death.
