Let's Play Sonic CD! (Part 1)

[subfoxus]

In 2 years it will be. I'm from the future Clement. IT IS 20 YEARS OLD!

[LeeBondo]

No way,I used to love the 3D bits back in the 90's...I never realised the megadrive could do Mode 7 graphics (Like Mario kart, super probotector on the SNES) Kinda makes me wonder why the SNES version of Street racer used Mode 7 but the megadrive version was more outrun-esque style, same goes for Probotector for that matter... I guess the mode 7in this doesn't seem to have as much detailor run at as acceptable a framerate as SNES could do...

[PoIaris]

Sonic predates Nyan Cat in the "shitting rainbow department" for more than 15 years! WOW!

[teeman9266]

Teleportation yeah! BA-DEE-DEH-BOP-BOP!

[TheRantDude247]

Dude you can stay behind the first boss and just murder him from behind! I'm guessing you probably know that by now... Being how it's 2012

[hollisbrownell]

just bought this on PSN for $4.99! Score!

[MrSonicboom1345]

sonic booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RedBlueYoshi]

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUND DUND UND UND DUND DUN DUN

[IrvineCascade]

"It's an excuse to stop Eggman from time traveling"

I must call BS; because, Sonic '06 established that the Chaos Emeralds could send them to the past... So now the Time Stones are obsolete... Stupid game...

[filipeflower]

@IrvineCascade Except that you require 2 Chaos Emeralds and then CHAOS CONTROL !

[IrvineCascade]

@filipeflower True, but it'd be possible to create a mechanism to induce chaos control. And two emeralds isn't that bad. The only argument that the Time Stones are superior in time travel is that you MAY be able to control what time you go to, while the Chaos Emeralds dont allow the users to do so. Honestly, if they brought the time stones back in Sonic '06, they could've explained other properties the time stones had that chaos emeralds didn't, but now the chaos emeralds are more overpowered...

[filipeflower]

they've been present in almost every Sonic-related game and ever since SEGA and Sonic Team decided to take away the Super Emeralds, they probably thought the Time Stones were off no use. So they invented that thing with the Chaos Emeralds (but it still requires two live beeings to do it).

[IrvineCascade]

@filipeflower It is possible to create a machine to use chaos control because Metal Sonic can perform Chaos Control; although, Metal Sonic is a GOD among villains, but I digress. Sonic CD should've been the first thought when you thought of time travel in Sonic's universe, so they could've shown off powers with another set of jewels and added to the universe, but they got lazy and boosted the Chaos Emeralds by allowing, not only warp and super form, but resurrection and time travel properties.

[filipeflower]

Correction. Metal Overlord (his final transformation from 'Sonic Heroes'). But then again, it's never explainned how exactly he does it. I guess Sonic Team ran out of ideas for that game. I do remember Metal Sonic saying that he copied the data of life forms (not specified), the data of the ultimate life form (Shadow The Hedgehog) and the data of Chaos (he probably used Chocola for that). Maybe he somehow copied Shadow's abillities (this is just my speculation though).

[IrvineCascade]

@filipeflower Neo Metal Sonic "Ultimate Lifeform Data: Successfully Copied." He knew Chaos Control by copying Shadow's abilities. One of Metal Sonic's ultimate defining characteristics is his ability to master any and all abilities that his opponents perform, which is why he can always stand toe-to-toe with Sonic. Technically, as Neo Metal Sonic, it may be possible that he could use Chaos Control; although we never experienced it.

[MindHosting]

sonic booom sonic booom sonic boooom!!!! love this DAm Song!!

[Antitailsfreak]

08:35 OMG The Creepy music of the American Version returns!

I still love this game though, and this walkthrough is pretty good, and that's why i like your LP's Clement; They say what's needed to be said, and there funny as well :3

[rake4466]

its 20 years now clement

[ChillyReaper]

Are the time stones like the chaos emeralds?

[Drake9990]

GIR - I love this show...

[MrMikehunt87]

The US version has "Sonic Boom" doesnt it

My gems collection has all the JP music apart from the intro, but "Sonic Boom" is such a catchy song :P

Great game though

[ASHTREFISHER]

Um Never Mind I Take Dat Back But A Level From Dis Game Would Have Been Perfect For Sonic Generations Cuz It's Dealin With Time

[ASHTREFISHER]

Wait One Second Dis Came Out Before Sonic 3??? It Looks Alot Better

[MrMikehunt87]

@ASHTREFISHER

This was in development at the same time as sonic 2, It shares alot of similarities with the first sonic more than sonic 2 or 3 imo

i personally perfered the art style in 2/3.....but thats just opinion lol

[27mamajama]

and suddenly my childhood comes rushing back :D

[gtastar1]

i would play this game over and over for the kickass intro....

[123leyton123]

Thumb up if u think that 1st boss theme is kinda creepy X_X

[askmiller]

travel 88 miles per hour to go to the future?

[askmiller]

and 2 years has passed... happy 20th birthday.

[bpleech]

you can time travel w/ chaos emeralds so technicaly you would need both

[MattFishie]

SONIC RAINBOOM!!!!!!!!

[hikarulink]

Sonic boom sounds terrible and I like the European/Japanese version

[bigben01985]

Can't decide which version of the intro I like better... They both kinda rock

[alex200202]

Clement i like better the japanese intro.but i like european in gameplay

[Lamodite22]

they just don't make sonic like they use to.

[JM2000ization]

Dude i've seen your lets play of Sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2 and let me say you were funny bro

[fighter20brawler10]

just bought the new version yesterday XP

[Madx2326]

@IvanHowell

CYBERSHELL!!! Legend!

[madman18able]

''And I screwed up, the Sega CD came out in 93. I know. I'm not redoing the commentary.''

This was written in the description. But Clement. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 came out in 1994.

[InvaderPiye]

I never knew that beginning was from Sonic CD.. holy shit...

I only ever watched on those Sonic compilation games like for Gamecube or PS2.

[IvanHowell]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a Badnik watch at the beginning with a cunt-o-meter, and heavy swearing thruout the playthrough.

If only...

[picadoagamer]

out of the japanese and american intro I perfer the american due to the catchy theme song as well as nostalgia. This theme I feel fits sonic as he is sonic boom and is super fast. I wished they did a remake of this song on sonic generations

[blackdoom5]

if only the soni cartoons looked like that intro.

[Marioh10Webkinz]

RAINBOW SONIC BOOM IN JP VERSION FOR THE WIN? No really, I SAW RAINBOWSSSS

[Marioh10Webkinz]

It's 2 years old now. HAAAAA

[Marioh10Webkinz]

@Marioh10Webkinz 20 not 2, typoooo

[Jingy2003]

Jp version of intro song sounds like Amy and max flexed

[Zephyr14ify]

@lolzsuperf-it is the same sonic design. Toei animation did the designs for both this intro and the movie

[lozsuperf1]

the sonic in the intro looks like the one from the sonic the hedgehog the movie

[VViP30U7]

best lp. awesome stuff

[KlexisBlaze]

u kno wat this means, time travel for Sonic was possible before time travel was time travel, witout the events of Sonic 06 time travellin in tht sense (and witout the chaos emeralds too) thts awesome

[LegallyBlindGamer]

In the HD remake of this, the holograms actually have a purpose. You have to find all of them in order to get a trophy/achievement.

[TheSynGame]

I know this was made like 2 years ago, but Sonic CD came out two weeks ago soooo now one of the trophies makes you look for them damn holograms lol. :(

[TheRumblefighterguy]

how do you make a good future?

[foxkid1021]

the time stones pun about the chaos emeralds is exactly like the pun made with the secret rings.

[DaGamer64]

I'm playing this on my iPad. Yes it is out on iPad

[FobbiesAreOwnage]

@DaGamer64 You are the coolest. please, takea ll my money.

[teeman9266]

@DaGamer64

im playing on my iphone

[ImAJ00guy]

Most of these zones are copypastas from Sonic 1.

Palmtree Panic - Green Hill

Collision Chaos - Spring Yard

Tidal Tempest - Labyrinth

Quartz Quadrant - Original

Wacky Workbench - Original

Stardust Speedway - Starlight

Metallic Madness - Scrap Brain

[DeadOmega]

@ImAJ00guy Bullshit. Palmtree and Quartz are the only truly derivative themes, although the level design of CD is completely original compared to other Sonic games. It's the only true exploration based 2D game in the series.

[robertreturns]

I like both tracks but I find the American tracks better. The tone of the game is darker than most Sonic games, therefore loud and booming music DOESN'T FIT!

[xReapZerz]

the time gem thing looks like a rupee

[SONICBOYREBORN234]

I am so loving the PS3 port :)

If you learn the level design, you just feel like a ninja blazing through these levels :D

[AlexLong1000]

TOOT TOOT THAT MUTHAFUCKING SONIC WARRIOR

I live in England, so this is the intro I grew up with.

[TheKeybladeMaster971]

AVGN: Sega CD has its own power adapter to conect the Genesis to the Sega CD

[dararestofdemall]

I love this intro out of all the intro including the CGI versions.

[MICHAELGALLAGHER17]

In the Xbox version, destroying all the "rotobisizers" and "holograms" in all the zones unlocks an achievement. So hunt these down & good luck!:)

Also, this game is being played on the Sega CD attachment isn't it?

[romebx]

sonic 2...sonic pinball and sonic adventure 2 on the gamecube will be the best sonic games ever...thats it

[knifehun]

the music(japan) GOOD!!!(im hungary,11 éves)

[sonicmacross]

I popped in the Sonic CD into my MACBOOK AND WAS able to download the music- 43 songs AMAZING

[demillara92310]

@222333pop1 It will be on Tuesday!! PSN.

[demillara92310]

@sonic10158 December 13th. Tuesday!

[Blooperguy229]

Didn't they make this for 360 too?

[TheHappyfunfun]

Sega CD/Mega CD was an add on for the sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

[TheHappyfunfun]

Sega CD/ Mega CD, didn't you watch the video?

[supersonic7373]

what systom is this ds, xbox 360, ps2, ps3? what?

[222333pop1]

is this for ps3

[sonic10158]

does anyone know the actual release date for the XBLA/PSN remake of this?

[KINFIN123]

You know what would have gone great with the Opening? Guile's Theme.

[MegaRainboom]

What's funny is that in Sonic 06 the use Chaos Emeralds to time-travel anyway.

[EliteCommuniK]

I HAVE 2 SAY i have played this game for a while. well at least this was my first game when i was very young. And i have to say out of all the sonic games THIS Sonic CD has the best music GREAT game play :)... (thumbs up if u agree)

[AngelOfGames132]

My last name is clement! XD

[aurasphere5000]

its safe to say that sonic boom is the BEST SONG EVAAR or well my best song EVAR i dont think chuck norris could make me change my mi

[toxictoad28]

That microphone you use really anoys me when you say a word that begin with "P"

[quionumenobel]

what emulator you have used?

[System509]

boss fight music with that laugh always freaks me out lol

[TheKeybladeMaster971]

AVGN: Don't you talk about my boxes I like Boxes!

[Peazzthefirst]

Mobius, not earth, but good video :)

[jfbujv]

Pal soundtrack so much better srry but us soundtrack is weak

[SONICBOYREBORN234]

TOOT TOOT SONIC WARRIOR FTW!!!!

[Sehlinger2003]

What if Sonic was real??? Wouldn't that be awesome???? Anyone????

[genhoaxer]

perfect video)))

[iamspider]

I like both the US and the Pal region themes, but I find the vocals more appealing on the US version, whereas the other version's vocals are far too chaotic for my tastes.

[IMVADER2]

easily the most under appreciated sonic games. a lot of my friends that are sonic fans always forget about this one,lol

[YakkoWarner44]

i HIGHLY applaud sega for putting this game's song in sonic generations.:D

[piccolojr01]

I cant believe ive never played this game but it looks asome

[jppfeil]

Toot toot sonic warrior... Epic after the guys sing....

[creepin0wl]

the background in the special stage is giygas!!! D:

[zerosuitfan91]

im sorry. i have to say this is my favorite sonic game and fav video game of all time

[Spyro515]

2 days untill sonic generations! booyeah!!

[LetsPlayGamesGuy]

How do you get a bad future? Finish with no dead robo things?

[Spyro515]

@LetsPlayGamesGuy you don't get both of the robotizizers

[Jeidara93]

Who doesn't know who metal Sonic is?

[reshiram20ify]

sonic looks as fat as a grape

[ThePrayingMantis08]

@reshiram20ify ...yet he is still able to run faster than the speed of light!

[Sonic62920]

I don't have Sonic CD yet, thank god foir Xbox Live

[PokeFan2845]

Personally I prefer the european/japanese version intro.Mainly because of it's fast pace and general awesomeness.Sonic boom was alright but it sounded a lot more sluggish and slower in comparison.Toot Toot sonic warrior (*sigh* can't believe i'm typing this) seems to have more energy to it, which is what sonic is about.

[BlizzagaLantean]

I really want to LP this, but soon everyone and their dog will be doing so. :(

[DrRobotnik900]

HEY!!! MY NAMES ROBOTNIK!! DONT MAKE FUN OF MY SHAPE!!!!

[DJandManaphy]

I was born in 1993 ^^

[Plantster15]

sonic boom is awsome.it fits CLASSIC SONIC alot. NOT MODERN SONIC! APSOLUTLY NOT MODERN SONIC!

[cookric555]

the bosses are so easy on sonic cd

[killtrocity09]

JAPANESE INTRO FUCKIN ROCKED

[ACROspark]

In my opinion: Sonic CD is one of the Sonic Game's ever!

[chainofthunder]

@ACROspark you do realize you forgot best. Right?

[Kaiskov09]

thumbs up if u re watching this during the countdown to generations

[UmbreonDarkShadow]

European intro has two words in my book- BAD ASS!

[victorhugo2826]

just the same color not the same shape..

[shoseki]

Sonic failed to go back in time and make future Sonic games suck.

[peebrain121]

I played this game as a kid and the boss music scared the hell outta me plus it was the bad future that added on

[mariofan027]

save the planet from nintendo?

[zachsims520]

FUN FACT:sonic CD was actually a copy of sonic 1 but they thought that if it was the same as sonic 1 then the fans would be outraged

[Jaksin7038]

"Knuckles did not exist at this point"

Sega announced along with the re-release said this is the prequel to Sonic 4 Ep 2.

[crazzyguy77]

@Jaksin7038 wow,sega has done nothing but bullshited their way through things like sonic 06.

[supersoniccd]

sonic cd confirmed for xbox live arcade, psn, iphone, etc.

holiday 2011

[MrMarciHUN]

nothing,but REALLY NOTHING BETTER than Sonic

[RayHall94]

I love both openings

[demillara92310]

The Japan Soundtrack is the best.

[gamephreak5]

@demillara92310 nope.avi

[KoopaDrybones]

Intro = BADASS !!

[mslurr]

@Naruto57195 Give me three reasons why Sonic Labyrinth is bad.

[bashbro1able]

This game kicks ass. That's all needed said.

[SonicTurbo97]

I heard that if you get all the time stones in the game, you instantly get a Good Future for everything.

[sonic54213]

actually, it was 1993

[FlickyF]

Sorry for mentioning this so late, and if it seems as if I'm bitching, but for the games to be played in chronological order Sonic 2 (MS/GG) should have been played BEFORE Sonic 2 (MD/Genesis), especially as it was released over a month beforehand... ergo, Sonic and Tails already knew each other.

[Brightbright13]

ah. too bad is the american/USA version.

[SonicFanJamie]

pink

[13earldavid]

5 people cant reach the other side of the rainbows

[xFlameOfHellx]

5 months until it's 20 year's old.

[DinerSals]

@xFlameOfHellx:

Sonic CD or Sonic in general? Because he turned 20 about June something.

[dhanyel88]

Dude, where did you downloaded the game? I have the CD, but does not work in WINXP or WIN7 :/

[FlickyF]

@dhanyel88

You have to download a patch for it to work on XP, Vista or 7 (I had to do that for Sonic and Knuckles Collection); if you type "Sonic CD PC patch", or something similar, into your search bar you should find it.

[redhornett]

Three questions, Clement:

1) What website did you get the Mega CD BIOS files and the Sonic CD ROM from?

2) If you do need to, what do you change the file extensions to?

3) What software do you use to record the emulated games?

Thanks

[didimun]

cant send a video of sonic cd and NO TALKING??

[kingoftheleos]

the special stage reminds me of f-zero

[megamanxrulez261]

8:48 eggman used flying jetpack code

[TheSonic41125]

@totoyamado Robotnik was his default name in the US. Eggman was his japanese name. I guess you can say Robotnik is his last name

[supersonic1009]

@HEDGurrection You know. both Modern and Classic have flaws. Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Eraser, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Blast, etc. Classic wasn't perfect either.

[charizardoreo]

@supersonic1009 the master system games were pretty crapy but back in the early 90s they were what the poor kids played who didnt have enough money for a genesis

[HyperSonic135]

@HEDGurrection no it wont

[AJBSONIC]

If you notice, all the title cards have that 'III' after it, it's not just for the special stages. Although your '3rd game in the series' theory is interesting, I personally just think it's decorative for the title card, as Sonic games usually have

[yadreamgrl1]

sonic cd the best sonic game ever

[megamanfan3]

The Special Stages in Sonic CD seem to have that Mode 7 effect. I guess it's because that add-on has that hardware.

[Dant2142]

@megamanfan3 Yep. Couple other games that used it: Batman Returns, AH3 Thunderstrike, Jaguar XJ220 (not a bad racing game) Formula One: Beyond the Limit (complete crap), Soul Star, Battlecorps, and a couple others.

That same chipset allowed the SCD to do some pretty decent 3D graphics as well, but focus on the CD itself and lack of understanding of it's function prevented more than about 2 or so games to actually use it for that.

[totoyamado]

hold on, in america its robotnik and in japan its eggman? i thought they were related..

[linguicapa]

@totoyamado all that i know is that here(my home,Brazil) is eggman

[totoyamado]

i wonder why the name robotnik came about?

[totoyamado]

where's doctor who

[Adam060756]

You don't have to make a good future in every stage in order to see the proper ending, as long as you collect all the time stones then you're set.

[MyDumbkid]

this is game the best

[sonicrulez92]

the sonic movie was based off this i think :D

[Mudstoise]

I live in Europe and when I bought Sonic Gems Collection I was so relieved to find that they had used the American version of the game, since the European/Japanese version of the theme song almost made me puke. Seriously I think I would have cried.

[Xmasterchiefix]

Who the hell chains a planet to another planet?

[Gamelun8300]

@Xmasterchiefix ummmm look what happended to sonic colors?

[Xmasterchiefix]

and THIS is where they got that idea of retarded planet chain bull shit

[Gamelun8300]

@Xmasterchiefix i personally think this game is weird overall, but i really didn't care about logics in a video game

[NonstopRam]

looks complicated
