For those who said that “Wow i did not know that a spring is a sonic cd reference”, he did not mean a spring, he meant the animation that sonic does when he jumps on a spring.
Haha foony
Well no duh
@@Starluxe0 nice
instablaster
oh man I can't believe springs were only introduced in Sonic CD
Stardust Speedway: *EXISTS*
Everyone: Is that a Sonic CD reference?
Yesn't, my friends. It's a Sonic CD reference.
I thought it was a sonic adventure reference
kind of, it’s a zone only exclusive to sonic cd (from what i’ve seen)
then comes the metal sonic “race”
Super Peel Outs, Metallic Madness, Stardust Speedway, Im outa here, Pipe Paths, Balancing Animations, Zappy Thingy in FBZ 2, Frost Animations, Ending, Mirrage Saloon (Not Existed Level), Flower Trap Thing, Metal Sonic, Shrink Ray, Future and Past Sign Postes are from Sonic CD.
I don't know man, i think it's more a JoJo reference
As a massive Sonic CD fan, I greatly appreciate this video!
Same here
Sonic CD is my fav Sonic game! :D
@@UnwantedGuide Same here
Sonic CD is my favorite classic sonic game
@@exclusive2393 same here
I just love how he/she did the sonic CD special stage so flawlessly when I'm just over here struggling to get the first ufo
The UFOs have a pattern to them, master that pattern and you will beat it easy
F
I can’t get the first Emerald in Mania.
Yea
Press Y/w in the special stage you'll gain a speed boost
now we need a knuckles chaotix references in sonic mania.
Metal Sonic boss. Encore mode.
@@AeriaVelocity And the enemy in Press Garden as well as the combine ring power up
The title screen theme in the "& Knuckles" mode ending.
The submarine from Oil Ocean Act 2.
YES
Sonic CD had strange level design but some very cool ideas. I never realized how many made it to Sonic Mania.
Agree there were random rings and boxes miss placed
Even trough that Sonic CD are one of my favorite sonic games
no shit
Sonic just looks more aggressive in most of the cd clips
Looks like this is all taking up too much of his time, lmao
Speaking of time & Sonic CD…
Sonic CD, even he said to mania
"Finish the job already man"
@@PokekaiPJArchives hi daddy
CD really went with a more badass anime style Sonic which is part of why I love it so much
Just wanted too add this because it's easy to miss. Tails's victory pose in Mania is a reference to when you enter a special stage in CD (2011). It's the same pose and it didn't appear in S3&K - only in CD (2011).
I was born in 2011
Hello I on 2022
Me like to say happy Chinese new year
same play gaming
????
It’s an obscure reference to tails adventure actually

TOTAL REFRENCES: 16
More specifically the Metal Sonic race and the Hologram
The controllable tubes are from metalic madness
Isn't Mania's Metallic Madness Zone Act 2 in the Present Time?
the past music of the original Metallic Madness is also a reference to the sm version of metallic madness
The tubes are from metallic madness
The spindash option from CD is in the game, if you go to "NO SAVE", press Triangle/Y on the controller (depending what controller you are using - Triangle for PS4/PS5 and Triangle for Xbox One/Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch), you'll come up with an option to change it from Mania to CD which will allow you to use the peel out dash.
NOTE: You MUST have one medallion whether it's gold or silver in order to unlock it in the special options menu.
They changed it, you can now access the secrets menu on a normal save now
X on the Switch
but it's not the spindash from sonic cd.
It’s called a super p lap
It's drop dash
This video just reminds me how good the soundtrack for Sonic CD was and still is.
Exactly
I'm not a big fan of the US soundtrack, I prefer the JPN soundtrack.
@@GenGamesUniverse Same Here.
Oh, Sonic CD is absolutely my favourite classic game, and I see Sonic Mania as a good compilation of classic games. =)
You forgot to mention in the credits they use the same yay sound effect they used in Sonic CD in Palmtree panic
Its a tiny thing, but thank you anyway ;)
@@DanielDX I also think you forgot the “I’m outta here” animation because it appears in the Sonic Mania main menu (Mania Plus) when you hover over the exit button
@@Me-xr5ou I thinks only on pc idk about ps4, Nintendo switch and Xbox
@@DanielDX, you forgot the life Counter
The “oh yeah” sound effect plays every time u get a life in cd tho
If anyone hasn't said so already, you missed the spinners in Palmtree Panic are re-used as bar stools in Mirage Saloon.
The glass orbs in Collision Chaos are also reused in Mirage Saloon.
The torrent tube in Tidal Tempest is used in Hydrocity.
The coil tubes in Quartz Quadrant are used in Chemical Plant.
And the bouncy platforms in Whacky used in Chemical.
Nicely done otherwise.
The coil tubes might actually be the ones from carnival night actually
@@numberfork Possibly, though CD came before Sonic 3K
You also forgot
The Amy doll in metallic madness that’s a reference to Amy hugging sonic in palmtree panic.
In mania plus the drowning sound from CD is in it.
The water ski badnik from Tidal Tempest is in Chemical Plant.
And the ending of Mania with little planet exploding and making Sonic’s face is like the good ending in CD
@@DanRootAnimTuteit did, CD came out in 1993 and Sonic 3 came out in 1994
@@DavidN-fy1giY En El Final Malo Suena El Sonido De Bad End De Sonic CD
the stardust speedway and metalic madness zones arent actually references, they are just stages in the game and everybody knows that sonic cd has those stages and there basically the same
Yeah, but i put them anyway :)
@@DanielDX ok :D
I saw you on SharkBlox's video! Anyway I'll Sub
@@damory-VR7 wait who?
@@skoopercantdraw i think creator of vid
This video is so underrated this should get more view because this is a nice video
Thanks :)
Yea he put a lot of editing into this video
I agree
Welll at the time I'm watching it, its got 132k views
Except this is his most popular video
Is it me, or something about CD seriously stands out from Sonic 1, 2, and 3 (and Knuckles).
That is because Sonic CD was directed by Sonic's creator himself! Naoto Oshima!
That may be because it went for a completely different take on game design compared to the other classics; the other classic games were about getting to the goal as quick as you can with competent platforming and using your momentum, while also checking for secrets occasionally. Sonic cd is all about carefully exploring and interacting with the level structure in order to easily pull off time traveling and get good futures in these huge and crazy levels rather than blazing away in them. This sets sonic cd apart from the classics on the genesis and makes it really divisive amongst the sonic community.
Sonic CD is fundamentally designed with exploring in mind. Unlike Sonic 2 and 3, speed isn't the main focus. And the level design was designed with that philosophy. 90% of the levels in the game build up vertically, and most of the paths are completely optional, yet satisfying to take to see what's on the other side.
Am pretty sure the 3 is sonic cd and knuckles is sonic 3 & knuckles
@@Grooverguy26274 wtf
Cool sonic cd is one of my favorite sonic game's
sonic cd is my favorite sonic game
It sucks that the sonic fanbase recently has started hating on the game and calling it bad; i always liked the time travel mechanic, funny bosses and crazy levels a lot.
@@demetriuskafkoulas5005 yes, i love yhis games
I dont like Sonic CD...
I LOVE SONIC CD!
Me Too!
I'm going to say something controversial: Sonic mania is a Sonic CD remake
Maybe
No one knows
Like thats a confusing remake
Where is the past and future stuff
Whatever its a good and also confusing
Oh hey it's the same sonic from sonic cd can it be the same person art and sonic maina got me thinking it's a remake of sonic 1 CD 2 3 and knukles
It's not, but it's probably the closest we'll ever be to getting one
well yes, it is...
it’s an all-classic remake
If I'm being honest, I like to think that Mania is actually the Sonic The Hedgehog 4 of the series.
I love that the people who made this game actually decided to reference to sonic media, specifically the classics, being that it’s an 16bit game, made by fans which got licensed by sega or whatever, but yeah, I’m glad this was obviously made by people who truly care about t sonic and the entire franchise itself.
0:21 back in the day I was very impressed that this pixel looks very 3D
Im pretty sure it is, of course just a flat plane but 3d nontheless
It’s just basic art, anyone can make pixel art 3D with basic perspective knowledge.
The only difference I can think about this from Sonic Mania is this:
In Sonic Mania, there is only one UFO, for it is very fast. The only way for you to catch it is if you get blue spheres (for speed) and rings (for time addon).
There is one Easter Egg you missed, and it's actually in Knuckles segment of Green Hill Act 1: there's a set of platforms that shares a striking resemblance to a set of platforms in Palmtree Panic!
The background of this level reminds me of the background of the past version quartz quadrant
There is no platforms there
@@0n1c420 if I could share pictures with you, I would.
Oh now I see
the virgin sprite comparison vs the CHAD platform layout comparison
I actually love the Metal Sonic theme in Sonic Mania, especially the chorus part.
Sonic cd is my favourite classic sonic game and seeing it getting so much attention from sega is great
3:46 also, when metal is stomping the rabbit, that's a reference too, sometimes when you go to the past to destroy the machines you can find metal doing that and you have to destroy the thing he's attached to, to make him disappear.
Edit note: I’ll try and make it simpler for people who didn’t understand or were thinking about a different machine
You missed a reference
*Reference scene:* In Sonic Mania after you defeated the Stardust Speedway act 1 boss you would 1st destroy the robot generator (will get into that) then go by a future sign.
*Reference in Sonic CD and purpose:* Now the 1st machine sonic destroys after Stardust Speedway act 1 boss is called a robot generator and in the original Sonic CD you would go into the past of each act (excluding bosses) to destroy the machine and create a good future in the future version of the act. If you wanted to not collect the time stones but make a good ending just destroy the robot generators in each act (excluding bosses) in Sonic CD it worked as a 2nd good ending.
Also before the Metal Sonic boss fight, it shows Sonic destroy a projection of Metal Sonic stepping on animals.
No, the machines destroyed in Mania's Stardust Speedway are actually taken from the flower capsules Sonic destroys after the first five Eggman battles.
Not THOSE capsules...
The ones you destroy in past to make a good future and did you even read the full thing?
@@JumpMan96_ Yeah I think they mistook which machine you were talking about. You're talking about the Alien Capsule machine thing with all the animals in it. The alternative way to get the good future aside from collecting time stones.
The robot transporter and metal sonic hologram
The classic game will never get old
Tbh I wouldn't call some of these things in Sonic Mania references to Sonic CD,mostly based on Sonic CD but hey. Who am I to judge? Oh yeah,nice video btw
Here’s a sonic CD reference you missed: in sonic CD, you play as sonic the hedgehog, and you do in sonic mania as well
Good to know XD
@@DanielDX 1 more: in mobile version of sonic cd you can play as tails and you can in sonic mania too
@@pickygolf4485 Sonic CD on Xbox/PS3 has Tails as an unlockable.
Love Sonic CD's JP soundtrack from 2011.
@Monster ZeroYT 😈 I agree.
It takes time to edit like this
Nice work
i subbed, more stuff like this would be awesome!
Sonic CD will always be my personal favourite.
You can immediately see how fans love and remember Sonic CD, and Sonic Team all want to forget it like a bad dream
I love the " yee-heeah"s from Sonic CD, I was SO HAPPY to hear them in the new SSZ
1:44 me when studied hard in math but still get under 60 score
I don't get it
@@Ollie.H-2301 look at sonic expression
@@springcraft0596 oh I get it now
The music and atmosphere in sonic cd's ending is TOO good
I swear, Christian must've really thought of Sonic CD as his favourite. Think about it, his fangame Sonic Nexus was based off of CD, CD was the first Sonic game he officially tried porting, and so on.
Good vid dude!!! 😎👍
Pretty good editing mate 👌
I like the music in stardust speed way in first act so relax and metal sonic come zoooming and says WHATS UP HATERS IN THE ZONE
Sonic CD is my favourite classic sonic game ;)
Really nice video. You seem to have gotten every reference.
Very awesome video
Helped me remember how it related
Sonic mania: Great Music
Sonic CD: Fantastic Music
Really? American music gives you nightmares and japanese sounds something straight out of a 80s movie and neither fit the game... and the track in general is just disapointing.
Oh i forgot about mania music it seems. It's everything that was good about the OG sonic tracks but remade/reworked to near perfection. Nothing sounds too out of place in comparison to sonic CD's flawed soundtrack.
@@Detoox21int no way you just dissed the jp soundtrack like that
@@iglin06 on one side, i think i learned to appreciate sonic CD's JP soundtrack a bit more over these 2 years
On the other, -holy shit i didnt know me from 2 years ago was this based-
@@Detoox21america waiting to be respected:
One of the devs must really love sonic cd to put this much references. I mean... I love sonic CD too.
Thanks DanielGamerDX, very cool
Nice video keep up the good work
5:55 kinda sounds like Mario world game over
THE HELL IS WRONG WITH UA-cam ALGORITHM?! THIS VIDEO DESERVES MORE VISUAL IT'S AWESOME!
The Maxter AH GACHATUBER!!
@@classicsonicplays4231 not anymore
This Channel is better than mine, and i have more subscribers.
*UA-cam LOGIC*
Yes
@@JogG4DX woah woah woah
I love bossfight with metal sonic so much, this music and fast gameplay just so good
This video is halfway to a million views! I hope you reach it 😁
Thanks, I hope so too 😁
Mirage Saloon Zone Act 2 Look Like Dust Hill Zone To Me
Mirage Saloon is pretty much both the scrapped desert levels from CD and Sonic 2 combined I would say
@@Ratty524
Desert Dazzle?
The scrap zone
1:16 1:53 2:04 nostalgia
lo que pasa es que sonic mania tenían pensado en unir los juegos del 1 hasta el cd
por eso hay referencias y etc
i love the ending tune, it feels everything is done, and you can relax now.. drawing last breath...
Nice video!
Nostalgia... I used to play sonic CD on my iPad especially the metal sonic level. Oh the good ol days
The amount of cd references in this game it’s shocking
This is the best Sonic CD reference video in sonic mania in UA-cam
THANKS FOR FEATURING STARDUST SPEEDWAY
1:27 since the sprite was originally from Sonic 1 but cd just added minor tweaks this is a reference to both
This is specifically a reference to cd because it carries over those tweaks
@@traktor420 As well as the fact that it references the timeline that Sonic CD is before Sonic 2 and after Sonic 1 hence why Tails is not in it.
Even though Tyson Hesse Sonic is inspired in Toei/Junio Sonic, he feels really different to me...
From what I recall, Toei Sonic never actually smiles; that could be why.
Well, there are many differences between the two designs, as similar as they are. The colors are almost entirely different, Tyson Sonic has shorter limbs, they have differently shaped shoes, Junio Sonic has longer and slightly skinnier spines while Tyson's are shorter and a little thicker, the overall body proportions are changed, as well as how they draw the face.
@@Pixentric Toei Sonic smiles twice in the Sonic CD ending (when destroying a badnik and when riding the cutter enemy).
The smile he gives is way different than Tyson Hesse Sonic's smile tho.
Intresting comparing video between the two games! Good job and keep up the good work
Amazing video
Thanks :D
Man, much as I love mania, this just made me realise how far ahead of it's time CD was. Much as I love Sonic 2, it just doesn't have nearly as many little touches. Granted CD is also missing some features (spin-dash, super sonic etc) that would come in later games, but otherwise it was the most advanced sonic game out there.
For those who dont sonic CD was a big inspiration for mania because most of the setting is taken place on little planet and eggman using the phantom ruby to beat sonic once and for all and successfully capturing little planet. Which is why CD is used alot because little planet I'd literally the main setting
Thanks DanielGamerDX for highlighting and hearting my comment
At any Time :)
It looks like mania team really likes sonic cd,to be honest that makes game better
So much correlation between CD and Mania, and rightfully so!
Blue Blurs for LIFE!
blue blur vs the big dog
2. Springs: from sonic 1
3. Tubes: Sonic 2 and CD but CD came out after Sonic 2
I'm watching the video at the same time as writing this. 4? Ok that is one that counts
he dont talk about the springs but the spinning animation, and by the tubes he means the thing that allows you to change direction
2. Ok first off, the spring wasn't the refrence, it was the animation Sonic did
3. Second off, you do realize it doesn't matter if a game came before or after right? Sonic mania doesn't do that. And Sonic 2 and Sonic CD were developed at the same time lmao
That CD Metal Sonic Boss Fight was real flawless
5:29 more like sonic 2 reference.
Both
2:13 the zone is the reference
And some interactible objects (dont forget metal sonic!)
The peel-out looks cool... but isn't really that effective, since it leaves you defenseless. Spin dash all day erryday.
@7:43 Tails: I can't believe Sonic is fucking dead
Excellent
4:32 COOL music
Sonic Mania has more things and references from CD in it than all the other classic sonic games combined.
Sonic cd is a great game
But then there’s wacky workbench
You’re having a good day and then you remember wacky workbench exists in sonic cd
Im really happy they didn't forgot about that game
There's also the reference of the robot generator and the metal sonic hologram in stardust speedway. Since that's referencing one of the two ways to get the good ending of CD (smashing the generator in the past and destroying the Metal Sonic hologram)
You don't actually have to smash the hologram for anything, it just makes animals appear.
@@launched_
Yeah, but a lot of people like to do it because the animals give a lot of life to the levels.
I'll be honest, growing up in the 90s, I wasn't the biggest Sonic CD fan, favoring by a very large margin the Genesis titles (and even Triple Trouble on the Game Gear).
While I still prefer the Genesis games in general, getting to play the awesome Steam port of Sonic CD with the proper JPN soundtrack (which no offense to anyone who thinks otherwise, but IMHO it is FAR superior and far more unique and stylish than the US soundtrack, and this is as an American who didn't grow up with it talking here), and then seeing how the best parts of Sonic CD were injected into the DNA of Sonic Mania really turned my opinion of the game around.
There's no point in comparing the 2. They are both equal soundtracks.
@@NameChecksOut That is your opinion.
For me, the US soundtrack is a lot more lifeless and dull, enough to totally color my impression of the game back in the day.
But I am glad both soundtracks do exist - even I must admit there are some gems in the US soundtrack too. I just think there was no need to revise something as cool and catchy as the JPN soundtrack in the first place, and even if they did, I just wish we had the option to choose back in the 90s.
4:45 Top 10 most INSANE speedruns
Acceleration YES
I played sonic cd on my phone. But it was fantastic!!!! I love seeing sonic's blue fur on a stage. It was amazing!!
Fun fact:the first balancing sprite was also in sonic the hedgehog 1
Sonic mania is favorite game I beat the game with all characters that's how much I love it. But seeing the cd refrences made me happy!
Don't tell anyone...........*likes vid*
Very good video ! But you missed one: the bouncy green goo in Chemical Plant Act 2 is a reference to Wacky Workbench, it even reuses the same sound effect
I played sonic cd and I didn't realize how many references there were to sonic cd in mania, very cool
Let's be honest, sonic cd have the best soundtrack.
N o.
Sega: Hold up let me just add some sonic CD refrences real quick. Team sonic team rose and team dark: what...? Edit: Thankies For 11 Likes! ^~^
elias tremusini Well yes, but actually no.
Yes i will respond to you guys if im online
there are more references missing than there are in the game, but it's right, nice video and compilation
They are the same, I loved the video
4:45 is that bad future music? Interesting
8:34 perfect ending lol
Good Video
If Sonic Mania is the best game and it takes highest reference from Sonic CD. That means Sonic CD is the best Sonic Game CONFIRMED!
yay finally youtube recommends me something good lol
One thing i wish that they would've done on Sonic Mania was that if you swapped the Sonic controls to CD it'd change the Spindash to the CD style
I love how the video ends in perfectly cut
0:55 for a sec I thought the reference was the spring being there
