the past is tranquil, for you are certain of what its future holds the present is exciting, for its future is uncertain and full of potential the bad future is tense, for a darker path has been taken, and its damage is sure to be irreversible the good future is optimistic, for a brighter path has been taken, and its sure to last

The first time I played Sonic CD for Sonic Gems Collection, I hated it. The whole setup was confusing. I couldn't wrap my head around the interface and such. Then the whole Future/Past Mechanic made me feel like I wasn't making any progress. Now, that I learned the whole history and development of the game, I can enjoy it.
PC version is like 5 bucks on steam and the IOS is 2.99 or free with ads. It was ported to the Gamecube and it was originally made for the Sega CD not the 32x
I’ve always hated tidal tempest because of the level design(mostly the underwater part), but listening to the music without the stupid level and boss, I actually really enjoy it. (That was so poorly worded it could probably kill someone)
I didnt hate it but I was confused by it the first time around. I thought the time traveling was cool but I didnt know how to implement it. I just thought I wasnt old enough to understand the game is all and that frustrated me but I don't blame the games I play for stuff like this. Dont know why people immediately do that when they cant grasp a game the first go. Especially when they were kids at the time.
So the fucked up thing that always terrified me was Metal Sonic. Not just the character, but what he represents. During the game, he's just a random antagonist; another robot boss made by Robotnik. After the game ends, though, Robotnik uses the Time Stones to reset the world to his fucked up industrial future complete with another Metal Sonic. That's the fucked up part: Metal Sonic IS Sonic, because Robotnik already won and the only way to stop him is by changing the timeline .
I cant explain it, but 19:47 Collision Chaos Good Future sounds like when you're driving in a hugee city in the mid 90s during the sunset/night, almosst like an Akira setting. It also sounds like playing the wii on a holiday when you come home from school.
Sonic CD is a good game in my opinion. In the beginning it's like, "The hell is with these level designs". The Japanese soundtrack is lovely by its bad future music that fits right in, and good future music does well too. For a lot of people, the level design is confusing and makes it hard (sometimes) to find that dame machine you need to destroy to have a good future. If your experience with the game or get used to it, you'll probably do well. In the original version (Genesis CD) the spin dash is not that useful and you'll probably use the super-peel out and then you just spin. Happily they fixed that in mobile and PlayStation 3 versions. In the other side; theirs the US soundtrack. The US soundtrack is pretty ok with its opening animation. But the negative part about it is it doesn't really fit in with the zones in the game; but Tidal Tempest and Wacky Workbench fits in with the music. My favorite level in the game is Quarts Quadrant. When I first went to that level the music is great and fits in well. For me I got used to the level design quickly so I went ZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM and that was satisfying to me because I never ran without running to a wall. My least favorite is Wacky Workbench and everyone who played the game knows why. By its name, you can already tell why. The level design is to wacky. There's these things that if you land on them you'll be shot up to the highest it goes. I'm a little used to the zone so I came make the first two acts with less than a minute. Sence I've been playing this game for a long time, I can make through the zones under one minute, except all three acts and Matalic Madness zone two. I like this game and always wanted to play it when I heard about it. P.S.- did you guys found the secret in Wacky Workbench zone 1?
I keep coming back to the soundtrack much more often than the US version. I give props to Spencer Nilsen and David Young for recreating a soundtrack for the US market so quickly. But, I disagree that the US needed a more "rich and complex" sound. This is rich and complex enough for me! Either way, IMO, I'm happy that we were left with a really great ost, and another pretty good one.
I had the mobile version, and I'm honestly so glad you can change which one of the two play. Sucks that I bought it before the ads and now I have to pay again to not have them. And I'm stuck on Wacky Workbench Act 3.
Great great job. Generally, the pasts are more basic. Present is poppy dance music. Good Future is (not a surprise) very upbeat, happy music. And then the Bad Future music is more industrial dance. All excellent

Out if this BEAUTIFUL soundtrack my top 3 have gotta be: 3. Tidal Tempest present 2. Quartz Quadrant present 1. Stardust speedway (all of them it’s literally perfect)
I think that I will never get tired of this soundtrack. Easily in my top 3 of best soundtracks of all time. Tidal tempest present is my favourite track in the whole game it is so good specially when I just wanna relax after a long day. Best water level music of all time. Also SS Past and QQ Present are incredible (the whole soundtrack is but those ones just a little bit more imo).
+Simon Nader That's just the pure evil of Dr. Robotnik aka "Dr. Eggman" in which he tries to curb the enthusiasm and willpower of Sonic to get through his levels of doom by musical influence. His doctorate in music isn't just for show you know :P
+Simon Nader I feel because they are generally more energetic and the laughs and extra sounds put into the songs generally add a little personality into them.
IMO metallic madness good future sounds better than bad. It feels kind of like some sweet-ass utopia place that really makes the final act feel like that's where it should end.
Pure jammies all the way through. One of the greats in music composition in early video games. This OST alongside 3 & Knuckles are some of the best funky fresh beats from the time FR. I hope this OST pops off in views at some point in the future. All the love to everyone who made this original score.
The buzzing sound constantly being played in the Wacky Workbench Past keeps startling the crap out of me lmao. I've heard the song hundreds of times without it and hearing it here was unexpected.
Sonic Team had amazing composers in the 90's and early 2000's. They still do, mind you, but I prefer their sound from those years. They haven't made a single mediocre soundtrack.
Can we just talk about how almost every bad future of the songs sounds like 80's edgy songs and every good future sounds like Show Intros like Health show, Cooking show, Exercise channel, etc
I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 0:03. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 0:00 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history.
+Ritchie Cantwell I agree. It worked really well for the Metal Sonic boss fight in Sonic Generations and I personally think the bad future version sounds the best.
+Ritchie Cantwell I agree. It worked really well for the Metal Sonic boss fight in Sonic Generations and I personally think the bad future version sounds the best.
Almost completely sure that the reason why there are four versions of every zone is because they took inspiration from house vinyls, which would usually include 3-4 different mixes.
Palmtree Panic B mix is pretty disturbing but funky at the same time. The children and audience that cheered for Sonic and the player became *Instruments* for the music, which gives a pretty dark theory for what happens to Little Planet in the Bad Future.
I like the US soundtrack and feel like it fits the tone of the game a lot more, but I can’t understand why they would even want to change it in the first place. This version is already perfect.
The Japanese ost is ... magical I don't know how to explain it but it is beautiful, meanwhile the American ost is ... ugh ... weird, bad and it doesn't fit with Sonic, it disgusts me just listening to it ... the only good thing about the ost Americano is Sonic boom, I prefer You can do Anything .. but Sonic boom at least is decent
Depends of what humanity do with it. If it gets past corporate greed and stops to fuck up, it can be one of the greatest things it ever happened, just like the good future in Sonic CD. Robotnik represents those two.
The irony is that looking back, there is no way the industrial revolution could have been avoided. It was a transformation of nature, society, and the economy that followed necessarily from the philosophy of the Enlightenment, which itself arose as a necessary criticism of feudalism. The industrial revolution, capitalism, and the planet going to shit because of it are the natural course of events that happened because we did not actively decide against any of these things. The only way to get out of this trap is, as suggested in the game, to realise this, and artificially create and choose a new, good future.
Holy shit. You'd spend your time on making a hour plus lenght video about all the Japanese soundtracks of Sonic CD? Damn, this needs more views, your effort was unbeliveably huge. o_o
I just realised that in the original Sega CD version of Sonic CD the Little Planet actually changes its sprites according to the time, when it's night the planet has more of a dark blue color, when it's dusk or dawn more orange and pink, while in the 2011 version it's always the same sprite no matter what time it is.
To this day, I wonder what some of the areas on the Little Planet are supposed to represent in-game. There appears to be a hovering factory. Could it have been a cut level, or is it part of Wacky Workbench? Also, where exactly is Tidal Tempest!? I think the mountains inside the Little Planet's ocean are supposed to represent it (as there are volcanos in the backgrounds of TT 1 as you begin the level), but I don't know for sure. I'm also assuming that the continent to the right of Stardust Speedway is part of Quartz Quadrant, as the levels have an outside forest to it that was connected to a diamond mine.
This is amazing and you took such a long time to make it and I am very impressed! Please continue to do things like this and I'm a very big fan of these! Keep making such good work!
I honestly don't understand why people to this day still complain about the US soundtrack. The easiest versions of the game to obtain let you pick between them. There's literally no reason to be upset anymore. If anything, the US soundtrack is a nice bonus to the Japanese one. It's fine if you prefer the Japanese soundtrack(in fact, I prefer a lot of the tracks from that to the US one), but to call it perfect and to completely dismiss the other one is plain silly.

The first time I played Sonic CD for Sonic Gems Collection, I hated it. The whole setup was confusing. I couldn't wrap my head around the interface and such. Then the whole Future/Past Mechanic made me feel like I wasn't making any progress.
Now, that I learned the whole history and development of the game, I can enjoy it.
Mr. Kite wait... they've ported the game before? To what? I gotta get my hands on it. I've never played it and I don't have a 32X.
Daijon Banks they ported the pc version
PC version is like 5 bucks on steam and the IOS is 2.99 or free with ads. It was ported to the Gamecube and it was originally made for the Sega CD not the 32x
I’ve always hated tidal tempest because of the level design(mostly the underwater part), but listening to the music without the stupid level and boss, I actually really enjoy it.
(That was so poorly worded it could probably kill someone)
I didnt hate it but I was confused by it the first time around. I thought the time traveling was cool but I didnt know how to implement it. I just thought I wasnt old enough to understand the game is all and that frustrated me but I don't blame the games I play for stuff like this. Dont know why people immediately do that when they cant grasp a game the first go. Especially when they were kids at the time.
So the fucked up thing that always terrified me was Metal Sonic. Not just the character, but what he represents. During the game, he's just a random antagonist; another robot boss made by Robotnik. After the game ends, though, Robotnik uses the Time Stones to reset the world to his fucked up industrial future complete with another Metal Sonic. That's the fucked up part: Metal Sonic IS Sonic, because Robotnik already won and the only way to stop him is by changing the timeline
.
Just lettin' ya know, his name used to be Ovi Kintobor in canon.
i prefer robotnik
Dapzl Yeah, and he used to be nice. Honestly, I prefer 'botnik too.
@@sandeia Thats the American canon, in the japan canon he was always known as eggman

Sonic CD is a good game in my opinion. In the beginning it's like, "The hell is with these level designs". The Japanese soundtrack is lovely by its bad future music that fits right in, and good future music does well too. For a lot of people, the level design is confusing and makes it hard (sometimes) to find that dame machine you need to destroy to have a good future. If your experience with the game or get used to it, you'll probably do well. In the original version (Genesis CD) the spin dash is not that useful and you'll probably use the super-peel out and then you just spin. Happily they fixed that in mobile and PlayStation 3 versions. In the other side; theirs the US soundtrack. The US soundtrack is pretty ok with its opening animation. But the negative part about it is it doesn't really fit in with the zones in the game; but Tidal Tempest and Wacky Workbench fits in with the music. My favorite level in the game is Quarts Quadrant. When I first went to that level the music is great and fits in well. For me I got used to the level design quickly so I went ZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM and that was satisfying to me because I never ran without running to a wall. My least favorite is Wacky Workbench and everyone who played the game knows why. By its name, you can already tell why. The level design is to wacky. There's these things that if you land on them you'll be shot up to the highest it goes. I'm a little used to the zone so I came make the first two acts with less than a minute. Sence I've been playing this game for a long time, I can make through the zones under one minute, except all three acts and Matalic Madness zone two. I like this game and always wanted to play it when I heard about it.
P.S.- did you guys found the secret in Wacky Workbench zone 1?
the USA soundtrack is terrible.
@@Z3RO5286 Like your opinion on it

EASILY the most consistent sonic ost of all time
Quartz Quandrant Present is hands down my favourite Classic Sonic song
can i just say that i love the animated planet scene, watching the planet rotate while the music plays is calming
cant even see where palmtree panic is
I keep coming back to the soundtrack much more often than the US version. I give props to Spencer Nilsen and David Young for recreating a soundtrack for the US market so quickly. But, I disagree that the US needed a more "rich and complex" sound. This is rich and complex enough for me! Either way, IMO, I'm happy that we were left with a really great ost, and another pretty good one.
I had the mobile version, and I'm honestly so glad you can change which one of the two play. Sucks that I bought it before the ads and now I have to pay again to not have them. And I'm stuck on Wacky Workbench Act 3.

Metallic madness good future supremacy 🛐🛐
I listen to this when I'm bored all the time! I absolutely adore the OST from my favorite game.
Great great job. Generally, the pasts are more basic. Present is poppy dance music. Good Future is (not a surprise) very upbeat, happy music. And then the Bad Future music is more industrial dance. All excellent
legit one of the best game soundtracks of all time
there isnt any other game that comes to my head where the music fits the themes this well

QQ Good future is a blessing for my ears
Tidal Tempest Past (24:41) sounds like Tomodachi Collection music.
Fun fact: Asides from the samples in the OST, the soundfont (synth patches) Probably come from a Roland JD800,KORG M1 And a Roland D50 LA Synthesizer.
i have never played this game but great soundtrack
its pretty cheap on steam, definitely worth the buy
My second favorite Sonic soundtrack! And you need to play this game It's worth every penny!
buy it on mobile if u can. It is worth playing i guarantee it.
It really is worth playing. Get it for cheap on XBL or PSN - it's worth it!
***** Blasphemy! The only way is on Sega Mega CD!
Out if this BEAUTIFUL soundtrack my top 3 have gotta be:
3. Tidal Tempest present
2. Quartz Quadrant present
1. Stardust speedway (all of them it’s literally perfect)
I think that I will never get tired of this soundtrack. Easily in my top 3 of best soundtracks of all time. Tidal tempest present is my favourite track in the whole game it is so good specially when I just wanna relax after a long day. Best water level music of all time. Also SS Past and QQ Present are incredible (the whole soundtrack is but those ones just a little bit more imo).
The bad future tracks are always the most catchy with the most going on
Lo mejor del mundo el soundtrack en su versión japonesa.
Si :D
Cierto bro
Son diferentes interpretaciones. Aunque esta version del sountrack me incanta, creo que la version americana merece mas amor.
Probablemente la mejor banda sonora de su época, ¡increible!
How come the bad future version of the songs sound much more awesome than the good ones? :p
+Simon Nader That's just the pure evil of Dr. Robotnik aka "Dr. Eggman" in which he tries to curb the enthusiasm and willpower of Sonic to get through his levels of doom by musical influence. His doctorate in music isn't just for show you know :P
+Simon Nader I feel because they are generally more energetic and the laughs and extra sounds put into the songs generally add a little personality into them.
+Simon Nader the good music better
IMO metallic madness good future sounds better than bad. It feels kind of like some sweet-ass utopia place that really makes the final act feel like that's where it should end.
i think all the acts sound better in good future than the bad
Mostly everyone hates Wacky Workbench for its difficulty and gimmicks but I really enjoy Wacky Workbench and its one of my favorite zones!
Zach Hays you must very experience, aren't you?
S tier soundtrack
however, sonic mania takes this and makes it the most legendary that it can
Past songs: chill vibes
Present songs: almost wanna make you dance
Bad future songs: rock vibes
Good future songs: *sleeping vibes*
This is incredible, and the Japanese make amazing music. You rock Japan!
Pure jammies all the way through. One of the greats in music composition in early video games. This OST alongside 3 & Knuckles are some of the best funky fresh beats from the time FR. I hope this OST pops off in views at some point in the future. All the love to everyone who made this original score.
House music and sonic are made for each other
I always listen to this soundtrack once in a while. This game was mesmerizing, so much nostalgia!!
Stardust Speedway Good Future is my favorite in the soundtrack.
Same
I'm more of a us guy for that one but I'm not here to start a war im not offended by your choice
My favorite is Quartz Quadrant Good Future for JP.
I agree
This might just be the best video game soundtrack in existence.
So many fantastic hyper techno references and inspiration in this soundtrack :)
Collision Chaos (Good and bad future) both are great tunes, love it!
Special Stage music in this version was so damn cool. I had that track stuck in my head the other day! LOL
The buzzing sound constantly being played in the Wacky Workbench Past keeps startling the crap out of me lmao. I've heard the song hundreds of times without it and hearing it here was unexpected.

They haven't made a single mediocre soundtrack.
I love all the themes to Stardust Speedway, Sega can do nothing wrong with it
i loves this game because of its soundtrack! it was one of the reasons that inspired me to make music!

@@friendlyap8134 and the Bad Future
and the past
Can we just talk about how almost every bad future of the songs sounds like 80's edgy songs and every good future sounds like Show Intros like Health show, Cooking show, Exercise channel, etc

I agree
I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 0:03. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 0:00 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history.
Wtf, this is a normal video, not a youtube kids video, why are you saying that 💀

+Ritchie Cantwell I agree. It worked really well for the Metal Sonic boss fight in Sonic Generations and I personally think the bad future version sounds the best.

what tf you mean??
God this ost man, i live for it
Honestly nah i live for this damn game and S3K, they're my frickin comfort
Almost completely sure that the reason why there are four versions of every zone is because they took inspiration from house vinyls, which would usually include 3-4 different mixes.
Quartz quadrant just does something to me man I cannot just sit there and listen without dancing
Palmtree Panic B mix is pretty disturbing but funky at the same time. The children and audience that cheered for Sonic and the player became *Instruments* for the music, which gives a pretty dark theory for what happens to Little Planet in the Bad Future.
Me casually realising that I was lip syncing dancing and acting like I was playing that smooth trumpet like instrument
Five stars for presentation. Thanks for the upload!
que belleza de banda sonora!!!
There was a while where I couldn't find this for some reason and I was so fuckin SAD I'm so glad I found it again!!!!
I like the US soundtrack and feel like it fits the tone of the game a lot more, but I can’t understand why they would even want to change it in the first place. This version is already perfect.
1:15:33. The first time I listened to this, I knew I had almost finished the game in the best way possible. So satisfying, so nostalgic!
The Japanese ost is ... magical I don't know how to explain it but it is beautiful, meanwhile the American ost is ... ugh ... weird, bad and it doesn't fit with Sonic, it disgusts me just listening to it ... the only good thing about the ost Americano is Sonic boom, I prefer You can do Anything .. but Sonic boom at least is decent
I'm glad they let us use the JP soundtrack in the PS3 version.
this soundtrack is perfect. it encapsulates all the songs into one little video, not jam-packed with ads. and it does it perfectly.
If there's one thing this game taught me
it's that
*THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES HAVE BEEN A GREAT DISASTER FOR THE HUMAN RACE*
Depends of what humanity do with it. If it gets past corporate greed and stops to fuck up, it can be one of the greatest things it ever happened, just like the good future in Sonic CD. Robotnik represents those two.
@@gonubaxthefrench6144 The joke flew over your head: look up Ted Kaczynski
@@gack1015 oh no :(
The irony is that looking back, there is no way the industrial revolution could have been avoided. It was a transformation of nature, society, and the economy that followed necessarily from the philosophy of the Enlightenment, which itself arose as a necessary criticism of feudalism. The industrial revolution, capitalism, and the planet going to shit because of it are the natural course of events that happened because we did not actively decide against any of these things. The only way to get out of this trap is, as suggested in the game, to realise this, and artificially create and choose a new, good future.
I think Wacky Workbench past is the most underrated Sonic music of the 16-bit era
I love tidal tempest present!
so do i
me too
Sonosuke YawaraYes, and the same as US Tidal Tempest present!
i prefer the bad future theme but the present theme is great too
Should Sonic Mania 2 exist, it should have this stage for the soundtrack alone
The Palmtree Panic Bad Future music definitely has to be my favorite Sonic soundtrack of all time.
Holy shit. You'd spend your time on making a hour plus lenght video about all the Japanese soundtracks of Sonic CD? Damn, this needs more views, your effort was unbeliveably huge. o_o

And when they go double time in the Bad Future
メガドライブミニ2で遊んで知りました！日本版のBGMがこんなに優れていたとは！！ソニック1、ソニックCDのボス(エッグマン)が好きです。登場のBGMも、どのステージにも何度も登場する設定も大好きです。
でも初めて聞いた気がしないのは、この優れた音楽を聞くために、この動画を過去にも再生していたからかな。
Seeing the video's preview date be "7 Years Ago" makes it seem so long ago... But this is from fucking 2013
I just realised that in the original Sega CD version of Sonic CD the Little Planet actually changes its sprites according to the time, when it's night the planet has more of a dark blue color, when it's dusk or dawn more orange and pink, while in the 2011 version it's always the same sprite no matter what time it is.
To this day, I wonder what some of the areas on the Little Planet are supposed to represent in-game. There appears to be a hovering factory. Could it have been a cut level, or is it part of Wacky Workbench? Also, where exactly is Tidal Tempest!? I think the mountains inside the Little Planet's ocean are supposed to represent it (as there are volcanos in the backgrounds of TT 1 as you begin the level), but I don't know for sure. I'm also assuming that the continent to the right of Stardust Speedway is part of Quartz Quadrant, as the levels have an outside forest to it that was connected to a diamond mine.
interesting ideas man, truly :D
Sonic: *shows up*

I honestly don't understand why people to this day still complain about the US soundtrack.
The easiest versions of the game to obtain let you pick between them. There's literally no reason to be upset anymore. If anything, the US soundtrack is a nice bonus to the Japanese one.
It's fine if you prefer the Japanese soundtrack(in fact, I prefer a lot of the tracks from that to the US one), but to call it perfect and to completely dismiss the other one is plain silly.
