Description

This is a standard Sonic the Hedgehog side-scrolling action game. Dr. Robotnik has taken over the Little Planet, captured Amy, and created Metal Sonic with the goal of collecting all the Time Stones to be able to manipulate time and conquer the world. It is up to Sonic to stop him, by rushing through levels set in different time periods, collecting Time Stones.

Sonic CD has features that take advantage of the CD format such as CD audio, video clips, and more levels (over 50 in total).

Trivia

Sonic The Hedgehog CD had all of its music changed during the localization process. The U.S. version's Redbook soundtrack was completely changed, yet all the "past" tunes remained the same, since they were all played on the Genesis sound chip in the original Sega CD version.

The U.S. version's music was composed by Spencer Nielsen (who also composed the music for the Sega CD version of Ecco the Dolphin and the Sega CD version of Spider-Man Vs. The Kingpin). The Japanese version's music was arranged and performed by J-Pop group Dreams Come True, who has also done music for the first two Sonic games.
