The funniest part of the stage select is the possible playground rumors. “Hey Josh, have you seen the secret level select? You have to type barracuda in the title screen!” “No you have to do this and that to cause it to show up!” “I thought you had to slap the crap out your genesis to get it” “shut up Tim nobody is falling for that”
Sonic sneezing was prob used when you enter a boss fight because in the comics when sonic senses danger he sneezes it also might have been used for that butterfly enemy because it drops dust on you
@@pieofchart I actually think it could be from that little detail, in the opening of sonic cd sonic sneezes right before the mountain blows up (it’s super fast and hard to notice but I promise I’m not lying)
the sound in 1:12 could also be a sneeze, which could also go with the unused sneeze sprite. the sneeze was his superpower back then, and whenever he sneezed it meant danger was nearby. the reason the sneeze was removed was probably because it would’ve happened often since there are lots of badniks in the game
@@boboley if that was true then we probably would’ve seen unused dust sprites Also him sneezing when danger is nearby makes more sense, since they added a clip of him sneezing in the intro animation, which probably means they were originally intending to add that sneezing sprite in the game
Either I'm "mandela"ing, or, the heart eyes were totally used in the original PC release of Sonic CD I had as a kid, as I remember, if you stand still, she'd kiss sonic, get the heart eyes, then chase you around with hearts coming off her the whole way or until you ran far enough away.
@@ashcyr3711 I get that, but I never actually bothered to stand still to see that interaction in the re-release, I mean the one from the 90s, as I never owned a Sega CD as a kid, but I did get the game on PC.
Now that I think about it, I have an original copy of the pc release, I may get to figuring it out when I have the chance to answer this once and for all.
46:23 Im pretty sure that both of these voice clips were meant for tails. It sounds like they belong to him. While im not too sure exactly what they were meant for, the "hey!" Clip maybe would have been used if sonic carried tails and hurled him into an obstacle that caused him to lose rings or die due to how annoyed the clip sounds. The "lets go!" Is even more of a mystery, but i think it would have been used in the same vein as how sonic says "yes!" When you get an extra life in sonic CD.
34:20 Looking at it now, i have a feeling that its an unused sprite meant to be a transition for knuckles going from running or standing into a spin dash
I remember the time I was playing sonic 3-D blast for my Genesis and I accidentally hit the cartridge and the congratulation screen popped up, and I almost crapped myself. It scared me so much.
21:05 that flickering and the effect of the stage crumbling leads me to believe this was some sort of bomb object that’d alter the level layout to allow for travel on higher paths.
In my opinion, the Sega logo voice in the finished version of _Sonic 3D_ feels like a reflection of the turmoil Sega of America had at the time in hindsight.
37:30 that has to be an emulation issue, I have actual hardware and 10 stars doesn't crash immediately, he will crash the game on occasion but he's somewhat functional he doesn't fly, you can move around and jump with him and that's it
I DEFINTELY want you to do a full video of Knuckles Chaotix. i belong to a small, insignificant minority who not only played it, but also loved it. You can ALSO go into ring debt in the final game. If you just keep calling your partner over and over again. You can't die from it, but it guarantees a one hit kill
Cybershell pointed this out in his Sonic 2 movie review, but there’s an edited/recreated Super Sonic 32x sprite in the credits of the second movie so it got some nice use eventually.
52:56 I think it’s vector, because there is Charmy, Knuckles, Bomb, and Heavy listed. The rest are Mighty, Espio, and VECTOR. Maybe Tails’ color palate is only left over.
1:19:30 leitmotif of this song is similar to the beginning melody of the US intro song to Sonic X, the "rolling around at the speed of sound"; has the same rhythm and melodic pattern. whether that's intentional or not is anyone's guess but I like to think it is
it checks out that none of the s3d prototypes have the 3d intro yet, IIRC one of jon's gamehut videos mentions that he had been saving space on the cartridge during the entire dev cycle and he dropped the intro in unceremoniously in like the final week of development in order to surprise sega, and reportedly they liked it
How did he not notice that for the first prototype the star links are different than the final version in fact I think that the sparkles that he assumed was for supersonic is that and the sounds of someone saying hey and let's go I believe is Tails it sounds like him and it was removed from future builds because Tails was no longer playable.
54:48 Isn't that a feature in the final game, though? Wherr if you go so far into debt you get...warped into a strange void or something? I guess running into too much ring debt revokes your right to exist, or at the very least have to go back to the hub.
1:56 I think this was supposed to be used as some sort of portal sonic might have got sucked in to or it have been used when the player would jump into a pit of death 2:43 I am glad that this was not used in the game because it looks like sonic might have done the unhappy thing -2:50-- might have been used when the player would go down that little thing at the beginning of the first level maybe i'm wrong-
Majin sonic from CD was just a nice easter egg the guy put in for fun and wasnt meant to be creepy, but the design itself and the american ports changing the song that was supposed to play there (iirc its the boss music) made it creepy, creepy enough to be in alot of Sonic.EXE Material (endless, anyone?)
Interesting the "HEY" and "Letsa go" sounds were removed as those are the major nintendo ip sounds of zeldas fairy thing saying "Hey" but also "Listen" and mario always saying "Letsa go"
4:24 That's in Sonic Mania, you can only access it from Debug Mode, but it forces Sonic to transform into Super Sonic, forces meaning that it can happen without the Chaos Emeralds, when you trigger it that way, you can still go into the Emerald stages, but you will need to use another one of those to trigger the transformation again...
as a huge sonic cd AND knuckles chaotix fan, i am so grateful for this.... this is really what everyone needs, or, well, atleast, everyone needs to play knuckles chaotix. its beautiful
6:57 the best part is CD was going to be made before 2 so i could imagine some kid putting random numbers in the sound test then unlocking this and thinking "who tf is this"
31:41 I think it's suppose to be good ending bc usually if u don't get the chaos emeralds he throws the emerald, but I think the context here is like " What? Where are the chaos emeralds?
Is it just me, or does anyone else think Tails' Stage in Sonic 3D looks like Windy Valley from Sonic Adventure? Looks like music isn't the only thing they redid for Adventure.
54:56 The Negative Rings mechanic is 100% intentional. Calling back your partner actually *COSTS* 10 rings, so having 9 or fewer brings your Ring count to the negatives. And no, it’s not exclusive to the prototype, *IT’S IN THE FINAL GAME.*
2:50 These were almost certainly for the special stages in the game, not some unseen top-down segment. It's likely the top sprites were when Sonic hit something he would fall back on his butt, and the bottom sprites were an alternate jump or even bouncing from a spring.
Aw yeah!!!! Sonic - DOES evil things Guy TAILS - Marvin CREAM - rose "Your cd IS OVER me your TOO slow TO SAVE us TO live!!!! Awwwwwwww yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I followed the Sonic 3D blast dumps back in the day so I geeked out when the unused Boss music showed up in Sonic 4 (even if the game wasn’t great haha)
I'm a bit confused, maybe I missed it. MM/DD is a US thing, but isnt Sega a Japanese company? why were there prototypes labelled in that style, if it was made in-house?
Fun fact : sonic CD was supposed to be an expansion for sonic 1, it would be longer but basically just DLC. Yet then they made it a game which was supposed to be Sonic 2 but then america made sonic 2 and sonic 2. So they couldn’t have 3 sonic 2s on multiple consoles so…..

All the unused content and Easter eggs shows how much fun the devs had while making sonic cd.

I think its in sonic mania aswell
So...we not gonna ackowledge that prototype time travel sound being scarily similar to the Phantom Ruby's sound?
Tetra saying "Run." On the unused amy sprites in sonic cd was so unsettling😭😭
Excellent, interesting and fascinating stuff as always TBG.
I really appreciate the fact that you took time to make a video about sonics unused content, thank you

6:33 the way that robotnik stares at you while you are trying to complete the special stage is just.. kind of unsettling

1:26 Origin Of Sonic Says Yeah
2:40 judging by the hair its probaly for an animation of him falling like in every cartoon ever
I’m surprised none of the comments have mentioned that the music at 1:19:30 sounds strikingly like the Sonic Mania main theme and leitmotifs

Sonic Crackers sounds like something you'd put into a soup or on a toasted marshmallow and melted chocolate.
the flashing sonic multiplayer mode is probably to get the players to take turns, while still being able to play the game
the chest thrust probably is a canvas for metal sonic walk
31:41 I think it's suppose to be good ending bc usually if u don't get the chaos emeralds he throws the emerald, but I think the context here is like " What? Where are the chaos emeralds?
My theory is that "ring limit" would be like how many rings were in the level to know when the perfect bonus would be reached.
