![]() So, what story does Sonic CD have? According to the instruction manual, on the last month of the year, a rather tiny planet called Little Planet arrives at Sonics world and hovers over Never Lake. Not much is known about this planet, aside from the fact it has time travel capabilities, and 7 stones called the Time Stones. Sonic decided to check the planet out only to find it turned into a metallic sphere chained to a mountain that has none other than Dr. He's going to drive the mad doctor off the planet and avert its bad future, travelling through time in the process.Įggman is up to his old tricks again, and Sonic isn't going to let that stand. Along the way, Sonic meets up with a pink hedgehog by the name of Amy Rose. The best way I can sum her up is a fan girl who followed Sonic to the Little Planet, wanting his attention. However her want for Sonics attention is gonna need a rain check as she gets abducted by Eggmans newest creation, Metal Sonic. A robot doppelganger Eggman made to try and match Sonic in both speed and power. Now, when talking about the gameplay, Sonic CD follows the same formula Sonic 1 and 2 have, although Sonic CD follows a bit more in Sonic 1s footsteps than Sonic 2s. Each zone is compromised of 3 acts, with act 3 being a small one that has the boss in it. You beat Eggman in it, then go off to the next zone. In addition to the ring system, and power-ups returning, Sonic has two new moves. The first, and technically returning move is the spindash. ![]() Hold down and the jump button and Sonic will rev up. However, it isn't as simple as it is in Sonic 2. While the spindash in Sonic 2 can be revved for how long the player wants and start at any time, the spindash in Sonic CD will only work when fully charged. This makes the spindash feel much more clunky and awkward to use compared to how it has and will work in future Sonic games. The other move Sonic has is the Super Peelout. This move works the same as the spindash, only with you holding up instead of down to charge it. Sonic does do this cool run with a figure 8 animation when he's doing it and the same happens when he reaches his top speed normally in game. Now this is all good and all, but Sonic CD is different. Also, 4Kids has edited out specific scenes and changed the dialogue in Sonic X for their American/worldwide audience. Sonic swears quite a bit in the original Japanese version of the Sonic X anime. (With the US tracks being better in some places like Quartz Quadrant, and the EU/JP. Same applies for cartoons/anime such as Sonic X. The soundtrack of Sonic CD has always been its main claim to fame. While you can play it on a level by level basis, that isn't where the meat of Sonic CD is. Censorship is quite loose in Japan compared to other Western countries. As I had mentioned prior, Little Planet has time travel capabilities. So in each zone for the first two acts, you'll find signposts that read past and future. ![]() Sonic CD is a weird, wacky, off-brand approach to Sonic, completely unlike the Genesis games or indeed any other game in the series in its tone and art direction, and the music really emphasizes that. I'm sorry for the resolution, however, you can tell one thing from this. I feel its not only a better soundtrack in its own right, but also a much better fit for the game itself. Especially when looked at for verticality. Sonic CD will now restart with the Japanese soundtrack.However, unlike in a game like Sonic 3 and Knuckles, there isn't a flow to the level design. On a game controller, this can be done using both the left directional stick and the D-Pad.Įnter here by pressing either Enter or A, depending on your controls. On the keyboard, this can be done by pressing the right arrow key. You’ll see some text underneath the logo that says “GAME START”. Once you’re at the Sonic CD title screen, press any button. In order to change the soundtrack in Anniversary Mode, the first thing you’ll want to do is start up the game. In this guide, I’ll be showing you how to switch between the two. 1 Sonic CD - 20TH Gold CD1 - 1-01 Sega Repost 2 Sonic CD - 20TH Gold CD1 - 1-02 Sonic You Can Do Anything 150K 3 Sonic CD - 20TH Gold CD1 - 1-03 Main Title - Sonic You Can Do Anything 37. I’ve seen a lot of people wanting to use the game’s Japanese OST instead. The Sonic Origins version of Sonic CD defaults to using the US version of the game’s soundtrack (at least in North America). This guide will show you how to change the music in Sonic CD to the game’s Japanese OST ![]()
