The Worst of the Classic Sonic Games

Ойындар

Sonic CD is often touted as the best Sonic game ever, so today we're gonna investigate how one of the worst Sonic games ever eluded the jaws of reality and snuck itself into that category.

Greetings and welcome to the bottom of the description. I'm Alax, more legally known as Alex Carducci. I make design analysis videos on fictional stuff I really like. Most of this time this centralizes on video games I love like Super Smash Bros., Super Mario, Persona, or Sonic the Hedgehog. I studied design and communications, so I find it fascinating how technology and culture shapes the media in our lives and how we perceive it. My channel aims to look into the history and development of these topics in depth so we can all find the truth as to why things are made the way they are. Also, there's a talking cat.

    To paraphrase Scott the Woz, Sonic CD was considered the hidden gem of classic Sonic, and then it became more readily available.

    Sonic 1, 2, and CD feel connected in a strange way, each prioritizing one element. 1 prioritized platforming, 2 prioritized speed, and CD prioritized exploration. Sonic 3K would go on to mix all three of these elements, and succeed. That is why it is considered the best classic game generally.

    That makes more sense because it refers to power rather than space. If it's on a CD, yeah sure, but that doesn't really make the game better apart from the soundtrack and FMV-Cutscenes except when the game *really* needs more space like FFVII which aren't that many I suppose as much space can already be saved with proper compressing, too. With a "64" or "Super" in the title indicating the console's power you can certainly advertise.

    I can understand not liking the game, but some of these complaints seemed contradictory to each other. You complain that the levels are built for exploration to the expense of not being able to just play through the levels like a normal Sonic game. But then you later complain about there always being a straight-shot path that's comparatively easy compared to the rest of the level, allowing you to skip all of the exploration. That straight-shot path was EXACTLY so that you can still play through the game like a typical Sonic game! You complain about not being able to easily time travel to the past. The thing is, that's another aspect of the puzzle for each level. You not only need to investigate the level to find the Generator you need to destroy, but you also need to find a safe and easy place to time travel. Once you activate a sign-post, the effect doesn't go away until you hit another one or attempt to time-travel and trigger the sparks. You have all the time in the world to locate a safe place to time travel. There's always at least one in every single level, those paired springs aren't cop-out spots, they just happened to be easier to find! Usually if the time-travel location is easier to find, that means that the Generator itself it tucked away in a particularly difficult spot and you're going to need to spend more time looking for it in particular. The complaint about the boss in Palmtree Panic Zone isn't necessarily contradictory, but you're missing the point. First of all, the game wasn't originally made for wide-screen like the PC port that you played. The original intention is that the boss travels forward all the way to the very left of the screen save for a space that is just about exactly the same width as Sonic, so it's much less obvious that there's a safe spot to hide in. While it's still just as pathetic once you know what you're doing, that's also intentional as well. The boss itself is named after the Famicom, so it's an elaborate jab at Nintendo. Besides, as the very first boss of the game, making it easy isn't that big of a problem. (Also, you can totally reach the boss with Invincibility, or even sneak behind it when it first appears, so you can kill it in less than three seconds either of those ways.)

    I disagree, CD is my favourite classic game level design wise. The levels have this feeling of a free roam playground, the positions of objects feel more like little things to mess around with rather than ways of progressing to the end of the level. It sounds weird, but its the same joy I get out of Sonic Utopia. In that game, the fun is seeing where you can take Sonic, what you can mess around with. Just simply running to the end would be boring. When I play CD, I am always wondering where I can take Sonic next. Where will this route take me? What will happen if I try this? These aren't unintentional either, the game actively rewards you for going off the main track with life monitors and other goodies. Not only that, but it is the intended way of achieving the good ending - through stumbling across a robot generator while playing around with pathways and secrets found within the levels. The aesthetic of the areas and atmosphere make you want to spend time in these locations rather than blast through them, and the game design rewards players who do so.

Sonic CD was the only one where I was able to fully complete (at the time) and my experience was that yeah sure it was wack but I thought that was kinda the point, now I didn’t go for 100% I was just going for whatever and looking back it was obtuse but I liked it, it provided something weird yet interesting. I understand the level design isn’t great in practice, at the very least it was unique and I’ll always respect it for that

    I mean i can agree and that saying this is my favorite Sonic game after 3 & Knuckles, but the video feels super full of hyperbole, like, im on board and then "THE STORY MAKES NO SENSE" excuse me it's a game about a humanoid hedgehog it sure had to made sense, i mean the story is simple but it makes medium sense or so i remember. The video makes complaints against things that doesnt really matter, and yeah i could be with level design, i didnt had much trouble with it but i understand, thing is the exploration and big open areas arent a problem on itself, yes you can breeze through the level BUT YOU DONT GET THE REWARD FROM EXPLORING. Besides that, i agree with pretty much everything but A Are we forgetting CD has a couple of the best/most creative bosses in 2D Sonic games, with Tidal Tempest making use of bubbles in a creative way and the memorable Metal Sonic race? B Can we just talk about how hard the final boss sucks ass? That's the real atrocity here. C Idk it's fine saying you dont like it, sometimes the video is phrased like is THE WORST GAME and it's FACT over other ppl's opinions, so, idk Sonic CD isnt perfect but im pretty sure ppl were full aware of everything when playing it and they enjoyed it

    The first time I played Sonic CD I was having a really frustrating time. Then I beat the game once and got the bad ending... and then I played the game again for the good ending... and then I got all the time stones. This is a good sonic game, better than Sonic 2 in many ways, but also worse in some other ways. The thing about classic sonic is: you gotta get good to have fun. He never played this game as a child, the one he played the most was Sonic 3 and K so obviously he would think it's the better one, and of course that he is not going to figure out most of the Sonic CD's mechanics. What really made me upset was hearing him complain about level design and platforms, but not realizing that most of the said platforms serve so you can time travel with ease. But yeah, the last boss sucks, especially because all of the bosses here are really good, even the first one that is supposed to be joke boss at the expense of the code name of the NES. This video is really funny, but it stinks as a critique and the script really sells me the idea that he knows what he is talking about when he clearly doesn't.

    It's better than sonic 1, 2, and 3&K level design. You could argue sonic 2 but it still has chemical plant, metropolis, oil ocean, and mystic cave so... Nothing of course as bad as marble garden zone or labyrinth zone but still has more dumb stuff than CD. CD only annoying parts to me anyway are Collison chaos 3 and metallic madness 2 and 3 but I usually give last zones like metallic madness a break since all other last sonic zones also suck. (Those being Scrap Brain, Wing Fortress, and Death Egg)

    I hope isn't just "Sonic CD bad cus different" or other thing of the tipical Twitter hate, well to time watch the video Edit: ok so i watched it, is the typical usual opinion of one what he just played the game don't understanding the level's and comparing to the other games saying "that's isn't how it works cus that isn't how i though was gonna work" thing. This game while being in the classic era has an different focus, instead of more action-platformer is an exploration-adventure, like the new system based sandbox's games, where is how you want to play the game the correct way to play, here you see a prototype of that in Sonic CD, allowing to do what you want when and wherever you want (literally thanks to the time travel mechanic), for that reason sonic cd repeats a lot of modules, combining that to the unique pathways,but in this game being more polarized, the easy paths are fast and spectacle shores while the hard zones are really big challenges but they are more about your skills and timing rather than waiting and reaction.

Its only those 2 that he brings up the most, and some are easily invalidated. Sure, the eggman mech boss is really easy, but thats mainly because its the *_first boss of the first zone_*

However, in an argument about whether makes for a bad lunch, I'm overstepping the bounds by trying to turn a subjective basis into an objective point Personally I think when people try to compare the structure of this game to Sonic 2, it is heavily doctored by nostalgia. If they took off their rose tinted glasses and tried to see it from the perspective of an adult trying to enjoy a game, they'd find a game about speed less compelling when they are constantly slamming into enemies/obstacles due to the zoomed camera and punishing lead space

Sonic CD is my favorite game but 100% more so because of its visuals and soundtrack and amount of replayability. The levels are a complete mess but I like finding the good parts in that and finding reliable ways to time travel. I can replay this sonic game more so than any other one and I find it enjoyable too because the paths are completely different and there is so little that is scripted. Definitely not a perfect game but my favorite 2D sonic game by far

Bad future stages always have more enemies and hazards, so you want to go to the past, and if you manage to get to good future you’re rewarded with a stage with little to no hazards. It’s a strange difficulty system that was completely missed by my 5 year old self playing this for the first time. This game used to give me nightmares (mostly cause of the English boss theme with the evil laughing). Another wonderful video, nice work alax!!

    I think this video was recorded last Friday and here's why: The Let'sPlay channel Friends Without Benefits was streaming Mario Party 4 when Major disconnected from the game, reverting to the start of one of the turns. This resulted in Cade having incredibly bad luck as he was now in the Bad Timeline, but how did this happen in the first place? About a year or so back, Alax was invited to play Mario Party 7 with FWOB as a guest, creating a loose connection with himself and the FWOB channel. The ending of this video showed Alax getting thrown across all timelines until he reformed in the original one. This affected Don's computer, as he was the one hosting the Netplay session for the livestream on FWOB, and he was the only member of FWOB not playing when Alax guest starred in that one arc. Long story short, time travel sucks for everyone involved, don't try it.
