![]() Firstly, Sonic is escaping the collapsing factories, carrying a frightened Amy in his arms, and for the Mega CD version, sound effects are included before the music begins. The outro begins with a movie that shows the ending events of the story, and then revisits some of Sonic's adventures across the levels of the game. Our spiky saviour has seen enough, and hurtles down the rockside to hit a ramp that launches him straight up in the air, where he lands on the chain and runs along it. The Mega CD version alone also indicates that the chain is attached to a rock whose features have been cut out to resemble Eggman's face, so there's no question about which particular evil scientist has had a hand in this devious act. It's when Sonic climbs a peak by the lakes that he spots the fully mechanised Little Planet, attached to the huge long chain he's already spotted while tackling some falling rocks. Many of these scenes are shortened or removed for the Mega CD version, which runs at a lower framerate, with different animation textures, so to enjoy the full experience, you'll need to see it on anything other than the Mega CD. Before making the discovery, Sonic spends much of his time showing off his athletic talent by leaping over and between rocks, skimming over water, running around looping curves and solid vertical walls, and going full speed across long, flat areas. He's shown running through Never Lake, a rocky, but grassy area containing forests, canyons, rivers and, fairly unsurprisingly, lakes. ![]() The intro is kind of a prologue to the game, and takes place entirely before the first level, as Sonic first discovers that Little Planet has been taken over by Eggman. The US does quite well to counter, with "Sonic Boom", a melodically pleasant tune, and the outro features a calmer and more instrumental version, also used as the bgm for the Time Attack menu. The latter features a catchy, funky tune by the name of "You can do anything" (sometimes better known as "Toot Toot Sonic Warrior", as its baffling lyrics suggest) for its intro, while the outro has pop-ish song "Cosmic Eternity", both sung in English not Japanese. Note that the music for them, as everything else does, varies between the US and Japanese/European versions. You can view everything at your leisure in "Visual Mode" when you unlock it, and both movies can be seen from the get-go in either Sonic Jam for the Saturn, or the original version (not "Plus") of Sonic Mega Collection for the Gamecube, both of which are Sonic compilation packs. The outro has two slightly different versions to it, depending on whether you got the good ending or the bad ending, and will be shown upon completion of the game, with the credits if you're playing the Mega CD or PC version. To see the intro, you need to leave the game on the title screen (doesn't matter if you've already pressed start) without pressing any buttons for a good 10-15 seconds, and it will appear. Final Fever / E10.Sonic CD is the first game of the series to make the very rare use of anime style animation for both its intro and outro sequence (the only other thus far is Sonic Riders, much later in 2006), and the style itself is a common symbol for the game, aiding very much in its very Japanese style, compared to the others. It is accompanied by three double-sided art prints, featuring original artwork from the SEGA archives, exclusive liner notes by composer Naofumi Hataya, a bespoke etching design on Side F and a download code for the album in both lossy and lossless formats. This remastered edition of the original Japanese score is presented as a triple 180g vinyl LP in a heavyweight single pocket sleeve, with a newly arranged track list based around the game’s various “Time Zones,” to provide a different listening experience from previous versions. ![]() The score accompanied both the Japanese and European versions of the game, but was subsequently re-written (by different composers) for the US release. Based around a unique time travel concept, SONIC CD is the most non-linear of the classic Sonic games and the music, composed by Naofumi Hataya and Masfumi Ogata, brilliantly reflects the shifting tones and alternate paths of the game. SONIC CD (also known as Sonic the Hedgehog CD) was originally released in 1993 for SEGA’s Mega-CD system. The original Japanese score from the classic Sonic the Hedgehog game, newly remastered and pressed on vinyl for the first time! (and no, this isn't a CD). ![]()
