Amy is unable to cling onto Sonic in Palmtree Panic.Īll of these changes are applied to all regional versions of the PC version, though the 2011 re-release reverts the Metal Sonic racing theme so it always plays Stardust Speedway "B" Mix and mostly restores the original ending videos' exclusive audio when played with the Japanese soundtrack.The bad ending's "TRY AGAIN AND FREE LITTLE PLANET FOREVER" text was shortened to simply "TRY AGAIN".Due to the extended "Special Edition for North America" credits, the ending theme plays over the entire video and mutes other audio (including the post-credits). There are no longer sound effects at the beginning of the ending.The font used in the end credits' large text was altered, and most credits related to the original soundtrack was removed/replaced.In order to remove Engrish, "YOU ARE GREATEST PLAYER" was changed to "YOU ARE THE GREATEST PLAYER".In the American version, only one button has to be pressed. In the Japanese and European versions, the player can restart the stage by pausing and pressing all three of the face buttons at the same time.For example, the "Little Planet" theme now plays on the Time Attack screen (rendering the title theme copy unused), and the music played during the Metal Sonic race is now the normal mix of Stardust Speedway's current Future and not always the "B" Mix. Some of the music placement was switched around.The copyright text at the title screen was altered slightly.In addition, there are a few other differences in the American version compared to the original Japanese and European games: At one point, a button command would have changed "たのしさ∞" (Infinite fun) to "楽しさあまって憎さ∞" (Infinite hatred proceeds from excessive fun), a phrase derived from "可愛さ余って憎さ百倍" (The greatest hate proceeds from the greatest love) but it was deleted from the game for unknown reasons.Ĭontrary to popular belief, and even SEGA's own description for the mobile release, this is not an anti-piracy screen in any version of the game.ĭespite its creepiness, Nishimura has stated it was not intended to frighten the player, with the creepiness being owed to the unsettling U.S. たのしさ∞ (Infinite fun) is a phrase that was written on Sega Sougou catalogues. Mazin/Majin is his childhood nickname, as explained here - although the spelling "Majin" is used in Dark Wizard to refer to Masato Nishimura, it has been officially confirmed that the easter egg itself is spelled Mazin. Drawn by Masato Nishimura, landscape designer for Sonic CD. Possible developers and their common nicknames are as follows:Ī rather creepy wallpaper collage featuring multiple Sonics with freakish humanoid faces. High-Speed Shoes music plays in the background. Nilsen for pointing out the tribute album.Press Right, Right, Up, Up, Down, C at the title screen to see the best times that the team behind Sonic CD got in Time Attack mode for each stage and act. That said, Spencer Nilsen did a hell of a job and frankly, I like both versions equally. I gotta say, I was turned off to the idea of Sonic CD being redone as a kid, and really, it probably didn’t need to be done. It also sounded a lot like Genesis FM….I wonder if they used some of those types of keyboards for that track. And the US version of Collision Chaos bad future totally sounded like it was channeling early 80’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi flicks. The Japanese tracks sounded like they were really inspired by Michael Jackson’s Dangerous. I listened to the whole damn thing and as soon as it was done I started it over from the beginning. So I look at my phone and it’s in the middle of downloading Spencer Nilsen….”What the heck, I already listened to this, why is it down……Oh what the HELL, SONIC CD WITH NILSEN?!?! OH HELL YES!” I’m getting ready for work this morning about 4am, and I thought to myself, “let’s see if VGMpire has a new episode today”.
