Sadly, it also shows that the spin-dash was more of an afterthought after Sonic 2 arrived since the spindash just has his rolling ball animation. This includes some cool poses off springs and the awesome super peel-out. This may explain why Sonic still looks the same as Sonic 1 but with some new animations. This just left Natoto Oshima and about half of the old Sonic Team to work on Sonic CD. to work with Sega Technical Institute on Sonic 2. A good portion of Sonic Team including Yuji Naka left for the U.S. ![]() I will say as far as theme songs go, I think Sonic Boom is a better song than Sonic Warrior just because the latter is so ridiculously goofy.Īs far as graphics go, I feel a little history is needed. Then again, it has Bootsy Collins and George Clinton in some samples and it doesn’t get more funky than that. Both have high quality music, but for me personally the Japanese soundtrack just has more energy and funk. The second one was done just for Northern America by Spencer Nilsen who did a lot of American soundtracks for Sega CD and Saturn games back in the day. One was the Japanese/Euro soundtrack composed by Naofumi Hataya & Masafumi Ogata. I honestly don’t know why Sega did two different soundtracks for Sonic, but they did. Doing so can be very problematic which I’ll explain later. this is done by using signposts to go into the past and destroy a machine. The other way to save the planet is to get a good future in each level. In between are bonus levels where you must run around a flat “mode 7” like plane (think Mario Kart on Super Nintendo) and must destroy some robotic blimps in order to get the time stones to save the planet. The game consists of seven zones with two acts each and a boss level. It’s up to Sonic to save Little Planet by collecting time stones and traveling in the past to stop Robotnik from taking over and save Amy from his Evil Metal doppelganger. Of course, chaos happens as Amy is kidnapped by Metal Sonic and Robotnik chains the little planet to the earth so he can conquer it. The story consisted of Sonic and the gal of his nightmares Amy Rose checking out Never Lake where they can view the Little Planet (not to be confused with LittleBigPlanet. Sonic CD came out on the Sega CD console back in the fall of 1993. But does anyone remember it for it’s level design? No? There might be a good reason for that. ![]() The anime intro/ending, the incredible music and of course, the battle with Metal Sonic. Most folks remember Sonic CD because of several things. Now, I say classic in quotation marks because frankly, I believe a lot of the praise of this game comes mainly from it’s nostalgia. With the news that a downloadable version of Sonic CD would soon be making it’s way to LIVE/PSN, I figured it was as good a time as any to review this “classic” Sonic game. ![]()
