Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game)	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog CD (also known as Sonic CD) is a Sonic the Hedgehog game released for the Sega CD in 1993 as a direct sequel to the original 1991 game. While it was released after Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the games were developed in tandem, and as a result, have some notable differences between them; the Compilation Rerelease Sonic Origins would later definitively confirm that CD takes place before Sonic 2, helping explain at least a few of the discrepancies. This game introduced two Breakout Characters: Sonic's pink fangirl Amy Rose, and his definitive Evil Knockoff Metal Sonic. The animated opening and ending sequences were done by Studio Junio and Toei Animation.For one month out of the entire year, Little Planet — a tiny planet with an unusual orbit — appears over Never Lake. Little Planet is the home of seven miraculous Time Stones that have been reported to cause wonders, such as preserving the natural world from the passage of time.To witness this phenomenon, Sonic journeys to Never Lake, but is shocked to find Little Planet encased in a metallic shell and chained to a mountain — one carved with the distinct face of Dr. Eggman (also known as Dr. Ivo Robotnik). The scientist seeks to halt Little Planet's orbit and use the Time Stones to rule over time itself.Meanwhile, Amy Rose — who predicted that Sonic would be arriving at Never Lake by reading Tarot cards — tags along and gets kidnapped by Sonic's robotic doppelgÃ¤nger, Metal Sonic. It's up to Sonic to save Amy, the future of Little Planet, and the entire timeline.The gimmick of the game is time travel, by which you can save Little Planet's future: each Round on Little Planet has three Zones, the first two of which have strategically-placed "Past" and "Future" signs. If you hit one of those signs, you'll have a brief window of time to gain enough speed to hurtle Sonic into either the past or the future. By default, the future is always bad: a neglected, decaying ruin left behind after Eggman has conquered and exploited the Zone. You'll want to avoid those if possible — it's possible to hit a Future sign and get sent there by accident!However, by destroying Eggman's robot teleporters in the past, the future automatically becomes good: all advances in technology will be working to the environment's benefit, and the robots in all three time periods are destroyed (mostly; some will remain in the present). You can also optionally destroy Metal Sonic holograms to bring back the local fauna in each Zone.Alternatively, you can go to the Special Stages to collect Time Stones; grabbing them all automatically gives every Zone a good future. There is no further need to travel in time, as this will also destroy all of the transporters in the game. The third Zone of each Round is a boss stage, and takes place in the future you created. The bosses are quite different from those in the first two games: the difficulty comes not from fighting the boss, but figuring out how to harm it.Sonic has two new moves: the Spin Dash — a move carried over from Sonic 2 that lets Sonic use his trademark Rolling Attack without running first — and the "Super Peel Out", a technique which sends him blasting off at even higher speeds, but leaves him vulnerable while revving up. The Spin Dash operates very differently than in subsequent games, again because it was developed in parallel with Sonic 2; it has to be "revved up" for a second before you can go.A notable aspect of Sonic CD is its soundtracks. The Japanese and European soundtrack, composed by Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata, takes inspiration from the contemporary House Music and New Jack Swing genres, and makes heavy usage of sampling as a result. This game also featured the Sonic series' first vocal songs, those being "Sonic ~ You Can Do Anything" and "Cosmic Eternity ~ Believe in Yourself" performed by Keiko Utoku and Casey Rankin.Due to Sega of America believing that the game needed a "more musically rich and complex" soundtrack, the North American version of the game had an entirely different soundtrack from the Japanese and European versions, composed by the Sega Technical Institute's in-house musicians. Led by Ecco the Dolphin composer Spencer Nilsen, the American soundtrack is more atmospheric and moody than its overseas counterpart, and includes a new vocal theme, "Sonic Boom", performed by Pastiche.Sonic CD was released in Japan with the original soundtrack on September 23, 1993, then in Europe on October 7, 1993. North America later got the game with the redone soundtrack on November 19, 1993.Sonic CD was the best-selling title for the Sega CD globally. It sold 1.5 million copies worldwide, powered by 1 million copies sold in the United States alone. For comparison, the Sega CD itself only sold 2.24 million units worldwide.The original version of the game was ported to the PC in 1996, and was later included in the Sonic Gems Collection compilation in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. It was excluded from Sonic compilations for several years due to Sega losing the documentation for the Sega CD — the Gems Collection port is based on the PC version.To address this issue, the game was remade from scratch in 2011, using the Retro Engine developed by Promoted Fanboy Christian "The Taxman" Whitehead. It was released on Xbox 360 through Xbox Live, PlayStation 3 through the PlayStation Network, PC through Steam, Android and iOS devices, and Windows Phone. Phew!The phone version was announced with the others but not released until November 2012 alongside Windows Phone 8.The new engine allowed CD to be given true widescreen support, and all aspects of the game run at 60 FPS, including the Special Stages. Both soundtracks are available to be swapped between, with this being the first time the Japanese and European soundtrack was officially available in America (other than its inclusion in Sonic the Screensaver, a late-'90s PC app). Further new content was also added, such as achievements and Tails as a playable character.In May 2021, Sega announced that Sonic CD and the other mainline Genesis Sonic games would be compiled together in Sonic Origins, which was released on June 23, 2022. This version, along with all of the other games in the compilation, runs on the Retro Engine. An update to Origins, Sonic Origins Plus, was announced in March 2023. It was released on June 23, 2023 as both a physical release and as an expansion pack for current Origins owners. This update adds Knuckles and Amy as playable characters. The original Sega CD version of the game is also one of 50 games included in the Mega Drive Mini 2 microconsole, released in October 2022.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_13f5b1b	comment	Instant-Win Condition: Normally, to get the good ending in Sonic CD, you have to go to the Past to find and destroy the Robot Generator in the first two Zones of every single Round. Missing even a single generator hardlocks you into the Bad Ending. However, should you get all seven Time Stones before the end, you automatically get the good ending even if you missed every single generator beforehand. Even better, any and all remaining levels you go through before the end will automatically show a Good Future whenever you go there. And if you're skilled, the earliest you can achieve this is the end of Quartz Quadrant Zone 1; which is roughly halfway through the game.

Also, as soon as one of the racers crosses the "finish line", a gate slams shut and leaves the loser trapped outside to die from the laser, meaning if Metal Sonic beats you by even a foot, you're screwed.

One is required to go to the robot transporter in Zone 1. During the Metal Sonic race, it's sometimes a good idea to intentionally let him get ahead of you briefly, as when he does his "charge" move, he is both a lot faster than normal and damages you if you touch him. After a couple seconds of this, he will have to "catch his breath" (metaphorically speaking) and will both slow down a lot and become safe for Sonic to just run through him and get ahead.

Stand still for three minutes without pausing, and then he'll say "I'm outer here" [sic] and proceed to jump off the screen, netting you a Game Over regardless of how many lives you have left. The exception is in Palmtree Panic Zone 1, where he won't do this if Amy is hugging him down, though he still shoots an angry glare in his idle animation. In the 2011 remake, Tails yawns at you as usual. However, he won't force the game to end after three minutes of idling.

When you first arrive at Collision Chaos, you find Amy chasing you around and that the tunnel to the rest of the level is blocked off by some spikes (there's a ledge nearby, but that gets you nowhere either). Cue Metal Sonic arriving, smashing through the spikes, kidnapping Amy and flying off. Even if you use debug mode to skip this part, it's impossible to save Amy—Metal Sonic is completely immune to your attacks and will always grab her, fly off and vanish right away.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_29c50e28	type	Trial-and-Error Gameplay
Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_29c50e28	comment	A lot of the difficulty in the game comes from the fact that the more exploration-based level design, which has lots of cheap obstacle and enemy placement, simply isn't made with Sonic's speed or sensitive controls in mind (or barring that was deliberately made to work against his abilities) and thus making it very easy to accidentally slam directly into an enemy or obstacle if you try to maintain a consistent speed more often than not - Trial-and-Error Gameplay is in full effect here. Metallic Madness is particularly nasty in this regard, with some enemies that are placed in near-unavoidable spots or edgeguarding a path you need to traverse. Not to mention you only have a very limited amount of chances to time travel, and it's very easy to bungle it if you so much as hit a road bump, forcing a player to reset or quit if they're aiming for the good ending. On top of that, the teleporters in the past tend to be well hidden—the one in Wacky Workbench Zone 1 is especially aggravating, as it requires a logic-defying way of reaching it. The original version of the game even had a flat-out unwinnable situation in Past Metallic Madness if you used up all of the Future signs. This was fixed in the 2011 remake.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The Super Peel-Out is incredibly fast but it leaves Sonic vulnerable to attacks, making it easy to run into an enemy you can't see coming from offscreen. This is made worse in the 2011 remake, which unlike the original, doesn't move the camera ahead when Sonic is running or charging the Super Peel-Out if the Spin Dash is set to "Genesis" mode. This can be averted by immediately rolling after releasing, thus acting like a much faster Spin Dash.

There's also a bug which stops the music from looping and the next level from loading should the player take too long. There's a point in the Past of Metallic Madness where you have to navigate some springs. The problem is that in the original versions of the game, you cannot reach the top platform. The only way around it is to try to get back to the present. If you can't, you are stuck. Extra platforms were added in the 2011 release to remedy this issue.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_450a63b5	comment	Player Nudge: To encourage new players to learn about the Time Travel mechanic, Palmtree Panic Zone 1 conveniently places both a Past and Future sign next to each other by the first tunnel, which upon entering will allow the player to build up enough speed to trigger a time warp after launching out of it (provided they miss a platform that's right above, which is a subtle clue that any interruption of speed will cancel the warp). The placement of the signs is also important; grabbing the Future sign first will likely lead to a new player then accidentally (if not purposefully) grabbing the Past sign beside it or vice versa, which teaches the player that each sign can only be used once and that you can only use one or the other's benefits at any time.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_45bf382b	comment	Game Mod: The game has received relatively few hacks compared to other games in the classic Sonic series due to the complexity of the Sega CD, though a few folks have taken cracks at it. Sonic CD Plus Plus is one of them, adding new features like the Homing Attack and a Sonic 2 style Spin Dash to the game. The Steam version and fan decompilation port has received various mods thanks to the Sonic CD Mod Loader and the decompilation port's native modding support, respectively, such as making Amy Rose playable, restoring the unused Desert Dazzle Zone, and implementing the original time travel mechanics into the game. There's also Sonic CD Restored, a mod that aims to restore many elements from the Sega CD version into the Steam version and the fan decompilation while adding some quality-of-life improvements, the original time travel mechanics, and as part of a 1-Year Anniversary update, added Amy as an unlockable character, all while remaining faithful the original Sega CD version's features. There are also add-ons for Sonic CD Restored that can add Knuckles as an unlockable character and customize the game's US and Japanese soundtracks. One mod for the Steam release adds newly-created Past tracks for the North American soundtrack, addressing the dissonance that occasionally occurs otherwise due to the original US composers being unable to replace the sequenced tracks.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Amy makes her first appearance here, in a different dress, with different hair, and lacking her trademark hammer. Zigzagged with the game as a whole. As in Sonic 1, there are three acts in every zone instead of two, Special Stages are accessed by collecting 50 rings and jumping into a Giant Ring at the end of the level, and levels are more focused on platforming and exploration instead of speed, which is compounded by the game's time travel mechanic. However, this game came out after Sonic 2 which had two acts per zone, had levels focus on speed instead of platforming, and introduced a different method of accessing Special Stages. Then Sonic 3 came out after this game and built on the foundation that Sonic 2 laid, ignoring Sonic CD completely. This is somewhat justified as while series creator Yuji Naka and several other key developers split off from the original development team to work on the rest of the main Sonic trilogy in the U.S., what was left of the original development team stayed behind and worked on Sonic CD, while Naka's team worked on Sonic 2 simultaneously. The Spin Dash is notably different from the one in Sonic 2 and on, as it has a different spinning animation and has to be charged by simply holding it for a second instead of button mashing it. Even the 2011 remaster, when compared to the 2013 remasters of Sonic 1 and 2, has shades of this. The process to go from the title screen to the game is differentnote Sonic 1 and 2 have a separate remake title screen and file select, while Sonic CD has its file select incorporated into the game itself, there is no option to play as Knuckles or Sonic and Tails togethernote though Knuckles was added as a playable character in the Origins Plus version, the mobile version has a different button and D-pad design, the game is a multiplatform release (Sonic 1 and 2 were mobile-only), and it was a solo project by Christian Whitehead. Unlike later ports, Stealth had no involvement at all, which could explain various differences such as Knuckles not being available.note Stealth was the person responsible for making the Knuckles in Sonic 1 hack.

Worthy of note is that although the original song did say "work that sucker to death" often, this particular sample is only the chorus to the JP Sonic CD boss music.

Interestingly, both are intact in the 2011 remake despite the lyrics being cut from their sources.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_56b53152	comment	Green Aesop: Just like the previous game, the main threat from Eggman is the damage he intends to do to nature. Notably, technology itself is not the problem: the problem is Eggman. In the Bad Futures, which have Eggman take over the Zone, the environment is in a severe state of disrepair - including the robots themselves (showcasing Eggman's wasteful ways). In the Good Futures, it's shown that nature and technology can and indeed should be in the same place to create paradise. For example: Stardust Speedway. In the past, it was a vine-covered Temple of Doom sitting just outside of a massive city that seemed to have a flair for art and theater. In the present, it's developing into an advanced city, and the level track now resembles a gigantic brass instrument. In the good future, the city has become a massive amusement park. In the Bad Future, the city is ludicrously dense with factory buildings that fill up quite literally all available space to the horizon, filling the once beautiful, starry sky with dense smog and occasionally lightning. All signs of art and culture have been destroyed. The Good Future of Palmtree Panic is inhabited by small squirrels and has a system of pipes that regulate the clear water in the area, instead of spreading polluted water, which happens in the Bad Future. The Good Future of Tidal Tempest looks like a giant hydroponic greenhouse with nutrient-rich green water; in the Bad Future, the plants are dead or roboticized, and the water is magenta.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_6a85e9e1	comment	Dub-Induced Plot Hole: The prologue from the North American manual tells a wholly different version of Sonic's arrival at Never Lake, with him being accompanied by Amy, and the latter getting kidnapped. By contrast, the opening FMV shows Sonic arriving alone, and Amy isn't kidnapped until the beginning of Collision Chaos. The North American manual prologue also shows Sonic being more friendly toward Amy (as she acts less like a Stalker with a Crush), which is at odds with his demeanor toward her in the ending FMV. This is because North American version (before being revised for the 1996 PC version) renames Amy to Princess Sally, presumably as an attempt to tie in to the cartoon, despite Sally looking and acting completely different from Amy.

In order to reach the machine, you have to jump on top of a crushing piston near the level's end, which sends you down the pipe where the transporter is located instead of killing you as with most of the crushing pistons in the series. Fortunately, it's possible, albeit difficult without the skill and/or Save Scumming, to have all the Time Stones by this point for those who don't want to bother with the transporter.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_7d0b5cb5	comment	Platform Hell: Wacky Workbench Zone 1 is unique — and controversial — among Sonic levels for its heavy focus on platforming. There is a straightfoward single path to the goal, but falling off the platforms will cause Sonic to land on a powerful bouncy floor that sends him towards the closed-off top areas. The player must then fall back and try again. In Metallic Madness Zone 3, the player has to overcome a small area full of temporary platforms over the single bottomless pit in the game and time it just right to run under a crusher and into the final boss corridor. You can cheese this challenge by hugging the side of the crusher when it is grounded, causing Sonic to land on the very tip of the floor. However, this won't work in the remake due to its changed physics.

On top of all that, due to an invincibility box at the beginning of the level, you can actually defeat the boss without being in any danger at all of being hurt. It's easier than Egg Mobile-D.

Unlike the CD-based Present and Future music, the music for the Past levels is sequenced PCM audio to emulate the "past" style of 16-bit music. As a result of sequenced music not being as easily replaceable as CD audio, the Past themes remain unchanged in the US soundtrack, which can lead to some Mood Whiplash at times (such as the track of Metallic Madness Past having a more dire-yet-frenetic feel in contrast with the more mechanical but slower-paced feel of its Present counterpart's US track).

However, only the CD audio tracks were replaced — the past tracks, which are generated through the system's sound chip, weren't able to be replaced. This creates a jarring contrast when traveling between the past and the future.

There's also a bunch of panels which display flashing neon symbols in some kind of alien alphabet, and the ground is pink for no apparent reason, which is especially weird considering it's a normal earth/dirt color in the past.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Unlike the CD-based Present and Future music, the music for the Past levels is sequenced PCM audio to emulate the "past" style of 16-bit music. As a result of sequenced music not being as easily replaceable as CD audio, the Past themes remain unchanged in the US soundtrack, which can lead to some Mood Whiplash at times (such as the track of Metallic Madness Past having a more dire-yet-frenetic feel in contrast with the more mechanical but slower-paced feel of its Present counterpart's US track).

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_abad35b4	comment	Soundtrack Dissonance: If you except the final boss, the North American boss theme is ridiculously ominous for boss battles against a mini-mecha with bumpers for arms, a pinball machine and a bubble shield, especially in the Good Futures. Wacky Workbench's Futures also fall into this; its Good Future has more emphasis on work tools in the background despite the zone being turned into a toy land, while its Bad Future is accompanied with a disco-like theme in the North American release (the Japanese and European versions have something much more appropriately sinister for it). An interesting example regarding the Metal Sonic race in the Good Future of Stardust Speedway: in the Japanese and European versions, the soundtrack switches to the Bad Future music during the race, but in the North American version, the Good Future music continues to play. The 2011 version of the game changes this so that the Bad Future music always plays during the Good Future race, even with the North American soundtrack. If you are used to Japanese tracks, US Good and Bad Futures can be this, as the former ones are more subtle in their celebration and the latter are rather bittersweet, as they give the player the impression that they can still save the day.

This is why Tails (introduced in Sonic 2) only makes a hidden cameo appearance, and why Super Sonic doesn't appear — though that's more due to the main collectibles being Time Stones rather than Chaos Emeralds.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_cea7fc1	comment	Bottomless Pits: Unlike just about every other Sonic game ever, Sonic CD is almost devoid of bottomless pits. Almost: Changing time periods in an unexpected place in Palmtree Panic will sometimes cause you to de-warp in the middle of scenery. Usually, a little movement and jumping will cause you to glitch through the walls back into the stage proper, as the programmers clearly expected this to happen. On rare occasions, however, it will drop you below the stage, killing you. One of the obstacles in Metallic Madness Zone 3 is a large bottomless pit with some tricky platforming above it. There's one in the Present stage of Stardust Speedway Zone 1 right before the end of the level. However, it's almost impossible to get down there and even if you do, there is still a way back up. You have to be actively trying to kill yourself to fall into that pit. There's also one in the Past of Stardust Speedway Zone 2. Like the example mentioned above, there is a short wall and spring blocking the drop, meaning you have to try to fall down there.

Even if by some miracle you do hit him again despite his massive bursts of speed, it won't affect him. The final boss, the Egg Spinner, is likewise coded to be invulnerable during specific periods (such as when he's out of the player's reach) so a player can't use an exploit or cheat (i.e. Debug mode) to bulldoze through him right away.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: While time travel is normally pretty difficult, due to having to run at full speed for around 30 seconds without stopping or running into anything, there are a few locations with two springs facing opposite directions, allowing Sonic to just bounce back and forth until the time travel activates. There are a few other level gimmicks that similarly allow easy time travel, such as these weird spinning things in the Wacky Workbench zone. All you have to do is hit a time travel post, then jump inside. Past signs tend to also be located close by these springs or gimmicks to help make the time travel easier. If you execute a time warp while the timer is at more than 5 minutes out of 10, the timer will reset back to the 5'00"00 mark. This feature is missing in the 2011 remaster, however. Destroying the robot teleporters in the past will automatically destroy all of the Badniks in that zone.note Although any surviving Badniks will still be there if you return to the present. Charging up a Spin Dash or Super Peel-Out will move the screen ahead of Sonic to give him a clear view of what's up ahead. If a player fouls up the time travel sidequest in a zone or runs into a rare Unwinnable situation (i.e. getting stuck in scenery from time travel, the accidentally unbeatable Past Metallic Madness in the game's original release), pausing the game and pressing any button will restart the current zone, albeit at the cost of an extra life. If Sonic is still above solid ground when he tries to jump off the screen if you leave him idle for three minutes, you can resume playing as him without getting an instant Game Over. Made more obvious in the mobile version of the 2011 remake, which had the buttons disappear as soon as Sonic jumps. Due to the sheer complexity of the time travel sidequest, the game has a save feature that autosaves after completing a world. If the timer is running low in a Special Stage, the game will automatically spawn an extra UFO that adds 30 extra seconds to the timer. And if you destroy it, but time runs low again, it will respawn and let you destroy it again for another time boost, meaning you can theoretically stay in a Special Stage indefinitely as long as you keep destroying the time bonus UFO. As an extra mercy, you don't have to destroy this extra UFO to win the Time Stone either. Getting all seven Time Stones automatically grants you a Good Future in each Zone and the Good Ending, meaning a player doesn't have to waste extra time trying to find the remaining robot teleporters, which will already be destroyed. In the Sonic Origins version of the game, restarting a level outside of Act 3 will have Sonic or Tails remain in their current time zone, which is useful if either miss any machines in the past or need another go at time travelling if the time posts have already been used. Any already-destroyed machines will also remain destroyed if you do this. In Anniversary Mode of the same game, the player can also use coins to retry a Special Stage if they fail on certain attempts.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_df1793de	type	Updated Re-release
Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_df1793de	comment	Updated Re-release: The initial PC version had a second version that used DirectX 3 instead of the Intel-developed DINO libraries, which improved the PC version's performance considerably for the time, and had the extended versions of the FMV sequences (albeit in grainy quality) compared to the Sega CD version. The second version of the PC port would later serve as the basis of the Gem Collection port of the game, which featured improved high-color versions of the game's FMVs and the frame-rate during Special Stages was bumped up to 30 FPS, but came with some downsides such as missing or broken effects, lower-quality sound effects, the Debug Mode does not work properly. The 2011 Retro Engine remaster features native widescreen resolution, runs at 60 FPS across the board (even during the Special Stages), has the highest quality FMVs over prior releases, added the ability to use Sonic the Hedgehog 2's Spin Dash mechanics while keeping the original as an option, revamped the game's save feature, has both the North American and Japanese soundtracks, and added Tails as a unlockable playable character. This version is the one that serves as the basis for the version in Origins (and the Plus DLC), with Origins making a few new changes from the 2011 port, most notably adding the Drop Dash to Sonic's moveset, Tails being playable from the start, and the Origins Plus DLC adding in Knuckles and Amy as playable characters (also adding in a few Knuckles-specific routes to certain Zones).

It ties in to the courage word salad found on the box art. "Sonic- You Can Do Anything" is, however, 75% word salad lyrics, but the chorus again ties into the theme of courage/believing in oneself. The entire thing, in Kefka's words, sounds more like a self-help book.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_e402b8bd	comment	Hailfire Peaks: This trope is common in this game, though it often only applies to the visual design instead of the gameplay: Palmtree Panic is this game's Green Hill Zone, but has Eternal Engine elements in both the Good and Bad Futures. Collision Chaos is Green Hill Zone or The Lost Woods combined with Pinball Zone. Tidal Tempest is Underwater Ruins in the Present, Underground Level and Under the Sea in the Past, Underwater Base and Techno Wreckage in the Bad Future, and more of the same in the Good Future, only it's more of an aquarium. Quartz Quadrant is Underground Level, with elements of Eternal Engine aside from the Past, which is instead Bubblegloop Swamp. The Good Future seems to feature an Underground City in the background. Wacky Workbench is full time Eternal Engine, but combined with Toy Time in the Good Future and Construction Zone Calamity in the Past. Stardust Speedway is mostly Skyscraper City, but features an Amusement Park in the Good Future and could be implied to be Wretched Hive or City Noir in the Bad Future. Metallic Madness is almost entirely Eternal Engine, but with a few Green Hill Zone elements such as green grass in the Good Future. Even in the Good Future, it's still The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. All the Bad Future stages feature the current trope combined with Bleak Level.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_e4e86215	type	Fake Difficulty
Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_e4e86215	comment	Fake Difficulty: A lot of the difficulty in the game comes from the fact that the more exploration-based level design, which has lots of cheap obstacle and enemy placement, simply isn't made with Sonic's speed or sensitive controls in mind (or barring that was deliberately made to work against his abilities) and thus making it very easy to accidentally slam directly into an enemy or obstacle if you try to maintain a consistent speed more often than not - Trial-and-Error Gameplay is in full effect here. Metallic Madness is particularly nasty in this regard, with some enemies that are placed in near-unavoidable spots or edgeguarding a path you need to traverse. Not to mention you only have a very limited amount of chances to time travel, and it's very easy to bungle it if you so much as hit a road bump, forcing a player to reset or quit if they're aiming for the good ending. On top of that, the teleporters in the past tend to be well hidden—the one in Wacky Workbench Zone 1 is especially aggravating, as it requires a logic-defying way of reaching it. The original version of the game even had a flat-out unwinnable situation in Past Metallic Madness if you used up all of the Future signs. This was fixed in the 2011 remake. The Special Stages have this in the form of the UFOs' bizarre hit detection (their hitbox is smaller than their sprites) combined with the high speed jumping and confusing perspective.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_e54b7b17	comment	Zonk: Though Bad Futures being interesting levels is a consolation, Future signposts largely exist to distract and roadblock the player from their true objective of fixing the Past. Especially later, accidentally going to a Bad Future at any point in a level can result in being unable to get back to a point where the Past objectives (or even Past Signposts at all) can be reached. As the game goes on, they start being placed in more and more devilish locations, such as just before or after a segment in which is it difficult to stop running, or right after spinning a Past signpost (which are used up after being hit), punishing careless or unobservant players. However, you can simply ignore all of this if you are able to get all the Time Stones though, which automatically triggers the Good Future for the rest of the game.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_f068cba	comment	Oddball in the Series: This game feels a little unusual compared to other main 16-bit Sonic games, even disregarding the time travel gimmick and the use of CD-quality audio: Sonic's jump sound is significantly different. There is no sound effect for when Sonic rolls into a ball. While there is a Spin Dash available, it doesn't use the typical Spin Dash animation; Sonic just goes into his rolling animation. This can be explained by the fact that this game's development began before Sonic 2's, so they were still getting the kinks worked out. In addition to the Spin Dash, there is a Super Peel-Out move that grants a similar boost but without sending Sonic into a roll. What other games in the series call "Zones", this game calls "Rounds". "Zone" in this game is used to refer to what other games call an "Act". The time counter is in the format of (minutes) ' (seconds) " (hundredths of a second), rather than (minutes) : (seconds) like in the Genesis games. Although this format would later be reprised in Sonic Mania. Special Stages reward Time Stones rather than the traditional Chaos Emeralds. Said Time Stones are not required for the Golden Ending. Destroying all the robot transporters also works. The speed shoes item, rather than speeding up the music, has its own theme.note This is likely because speeding up CD audio and having it not sound like a mess was not possible with early '90s consumer hardware. Much of the soundtrack is completely different between regions, whereas in other 16-bit Sonic games the most changes made to one game's soundtrack was replacing a few tracks in the Windows port of Sonic 3. The camera in this game moves ahead to show the level ahead of Sonic, while the other games had Sonic centered at all times. Most of the bosses take a few hits to defeat, unlike the standard eight hits for bosses in other Sonic games. Even in the last fight in Metallic Madness, Eggman has only 4 HP. The familiar Sonic drowning music is absent in this game; the regular level music continues playing as the drowning timer ticks down, while an urgent bubbly sound plays repeatedly.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496	type	Suspiciously Similar Substitute
Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496	comment	Suspiciously Similar Substitute: According to Naoto Ohshima, most levels, with the exceptions of Quartz Quadrant and Wacky Workbench, were made as more surreal versions of the original Sonic the Hedgehog levels. Even the level theme order is the same. Sometimes, the similarities are subtle, sometimes not: Palmtree Panic is obviously inspired by the lush visuals of Green Hill. The Tamabboh Badnik looks like a Moto Bug and behaves like a Crabmeat. Collision Chaos has a Spring Yard at the end of both Zones 1 and 2. The second zone also has two goals, just like the Act 2 of its original counterpart. Tidal Tempest's graphics resemble Labyrinth's. The water current gimmick, which sends Sonic spinning underwater is used in the second zone. Stardust Speedway shares its level theme and position with Star Light as the penultimate level. It plays rather differently, though, besides being fast-paced. Metallic Madness' spinning, disappearing and moving platforms and doors are all from Scrap Brain. There's also a Giant Mook version of the Bomb badnik called Bigbom and each Zone has a unique background, just like Scrap Brain. A scrapped zone, Dubious Depths, likely would have stood in for Marble Zone — it went in between Palmtree Panic and Collision Chaos, and apparently had a similar marble ruins theme. However, the concept of a half-underground level has been kept with Quartz Quadrant. Quartz Quadrant and Wacky Workbench strongly resemble Hidden Palace Zone and Cyber City Zone, respectively. These levels were designed in the early stages of Sonic 2's development. However, they didn't make it into the final version (although elements from them did). It's quite possible that this was a conscious move, as Sonic 2's developers had to cut several levels due to a tight deadline. Kama-Kama/Robot Mantis, a Badnik in Collision Chaos, is based on Kama Killer/Slicer from Sonic 2, but with linear instead of homing projectiles. The Time Stones clearly fill in for the Chaos Emeralds.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_faf36236	comment	Cyberpunk: As in the first game, Sonic is a Nature Hero fighting against an Evil Genius who is systematically turning the world's inhabitants into robots. The cyberpunk elements are actually expanded in this game, with nearly every zone demonstrating that Little Planet is full of advanced technology. Notably, Sonic isn't there to destroy the technology: he's there to prevent Eggman's Assimilation Plot.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	comment	Also in the remake, Tails, as a tradeoff for his flying skills, cannot be used to unlock achievements/trophies, as well. Furthermore, during Wacky Workbench's Egg Razer boss, his flight time period gets shortened significantly, preventing you from Sequence Breaking the boss by going further ahead of Eggman. This also applies to the start and end of the Metal Sonic race in Stardust Speedway.
