    Sonic CD used to at one point be my favorite out of the classics, but nowadays... I feel like i just don't have much energy to play it anymore, but then again i don't play much as a whole really lol, it's hard to say whether i prefer it over Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (MD) or not, because i appreciate unique games more, and Sonic 2... I guess it's a Goldfinger kind of overrated in my eyes, though i do enjoy that and Goldfinger, even if i think there is better still. However i think Sonic CD shouldn't have been nearly as maze-like as it gets, particularly in later zones like Wacky Workbench. Glad you used Stardust Speedway US Good Future, really underrated / overlooked track in that soundtrack, i also think all Quartz Quadrant US songs are good, the future ones in particular are also underrated. Still i think i owe Sonic CD for my focuse in only really listening to 90s game MIDI sounding music, boy i can not unhear how many of them use SC-88 stuff. Virtua Fighter 1 reminds me of the world soundtrack of this game, both came around the same time so... I honestly somehow kinda prefer the Sonic the Hedgehog "1999 movie" over the new ones as well, maybe if one day my little brother learns English i'd show that movie to him. (yes we aren't actually American)

    This is the only detailed review I've seen for the Sonic CD, most players regard it merely as a curiosity and non-cannon. You did a great job, I've never quite understood the game myself. A friend of mine back in the 90s had a Sega CD and this game, but for whatever reason he rarely wanted to play it. I thought it looked fun.

    Great vid br0. I do like Sonic 2's levels better, but I hate the bonus stages. Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 have bonus stages that I feel are more fair to the player. Sonic 2's bonus stages tried to be a little too much for their own good. I know many players have eventually memorized and mastered them, but I honestly feel they just aren't as good. It's too bad because the gameplays is top tier.

      I believe now the canonical order is officially S1 followed by CD but I was originally trying to go in order they released and from what I gathered CD came out a little after 2. The biggest mystery I am still trying to figure out is if the master system and Game gear story takes place before or after the events of the Genesis S2. I’m assuming the GG and SMS came first because there are only 6 chaos emeralds present and the earliest carnation of mecha or silver sonic is present here
