They posted a little gameplay clip of this a few months ago, and the time travel is utterly stupendous. It’s the closest anyone has come to Ohshima’s original concept imo. I *cannot* wait to get my hands on this 🙏

Say what you will about the actual game; this moment will always be an all-timer 👌

I can’t really dismiss a sequence like this as “automated” gameplay since it’s essentially a teaching moment for the player. “This is what happens when Sonic applies a ton of speed to a ramp, now use that inertia to collect all these rings by *platforming* on the enemies”.

Even a tiny detail like Amy not yelping anymore when she gets kindapped stands out. Just makes the moment feel a lot more limp and passive. I wonder what they were thinking with that 🤷

Reminds me of how Eugene from Tangled was meticulously crafted by a crack team of women to be the most perfectly sexy man imaginable. Sometimes designing by a committee just works lol.

There is an entire cottage industry on Youtube of diagnosing Sonic fans with autism 🤣🤣🤣

It may be time to accept the fact that Sonic is to Japanese gamers exactly what Marth is to western gamers: a Smash Bros character 😂

I legitimately consider this one of the greatest endings in the history of animation 🥲

Uh okay, turns out I was wrong about this. You can in fact completely outrun Metal Sonic in *any* version of Sonic CD. You’ve just gotta REALLY put those Speed Shoes to work. It took 20+ years but now I know lmao.

The first joke in the franchise and its still so goddamn funny 😂 #PEANUTS75

It’s been said before but it bears repeating: why can MARIO roll better than Sonic lmao 😂 If the next 3D game can give us roll physics this clean, I’ll give Sega such massive props. Sonic’s insane speed would make it SO much sweeter.

Sonic Origins has lots of little flaws, but most of them aren't the end of the world. Sonic 1, 2 and CD are mostly just fine. Its biggest screw-up by far imo is how they ruined this beauitful scene.

Sonic CD and 8-bit Sonic 2 being composed simultaneously is actually not surprising at all if you listen real close 🎵

Pro-tip for all the folks tackling Super Metroid: Ridley doesn’t need a single regular missile, charge shots and supers are your best friend 🤞

I mean, Your Honour…

Super Mario Odyssey would be the greatest platformer of all time if it had level design that truly took advantage of this crazy movement. I need the Crash 4 of Mario games on Switch 2.

I really love how You Can Do Anything sort of became Sonic's unofficial theme song back in the 90's after Sega of Japan lost the Masato Nakamura tracks. They even sneakily fused it with "It Doesn't Matter" for the Invincibility theme of Sonic Adventure.

Cool thing is we don't even have to speculate, we already have a perfect template for what a Sonic CD Movie could sound like:

Happy birthday to the king of kings Sonic CD 💿 Fun fact, you can always tell which variant of the intro you're listening to based on if Keiko Utoku correctly pronounces "save the planet". I guess they gave her some coffee and asked for an even more powerful second take lol.

For years I debated in my mind whether the “spike bug” was actually a bug, cos surely Naka could’ve just fixed it in like 3 seconds. He didn’t even fix it for the JP revision. There’s no way they just didn’t notice lmao. But yes it is in fact a bug 😂

Most people think these Mega CD cutcenes are ass, but there's something super gorgeous to me about replicating such complex cel animation with detailed sprites. They even improved certain things like the quartz crystals and Amy's dress 👌

I don’t think people in the 2000s would’ve been so put off by Sonic R’s “unfitting and weird” music if they got to hear Sonic CD first. This song is pretty much Cosmic Eternity 2. It’s the most Sonic-y shit I’ve ever heard!

WHY WOULD HE ADMIT THIS TO ROLLING CAMERAS JESUS CHRIST???? Did this not strike ANYONE as a possible conflict of interest good lord 😭😭😭😭

I made a tasteful fix to this scene from Sonic Generations. I feel its a worthy correction 🙏
