Sonic Origins: Speed Strats - Sonic CD

Welcome back to another episode of Speed Strats! This episode will be a blast to the past (or future?) as we explore the story, mechanics, and path to victory in Sonic CD.

The line, "It seems like Sonic knows everything Metal Sonic's going to do as well!" Made my heart burn. Thank you so much for that.

I love how the guys doing this know perfectly what they are doing. Tons of references and always in character.

That callback to Justin screaming Metal Sonic was comedic genius.

I have a tip for anyone playing this: when you’re running at top speed, attempting to time travel, Sonic will leave a trail of sparkles. These sparkles don’t make him invincible, but they protect him from any contact damage, so you can Dash/Super Peel Out through enemies

It was fun writing this episode with the Strategy Guide team. We put a lot of references into this episode. Can you list the ones you can find on the comments below? I wanna see some list from you all! :)

This whole video made me have a huge smile on my face, especially the callbacks to Justin’s iconic METAL SONIC scream and the Sonic OVA.

"Looks like metal sonic knows everything Sonic's going to do but it seems like sonic knows everything Metal Sonic's going to do also" STRANGE ISINT IT?

[JWSHE]

In Anniversary mode, if you spam the drop dash you can go to the past or future without worrying about losing the effect.

When using the super peel out, right after the move starts turn into a ball so you can be safe from getting hit by enemies without losing your speed.

There are 2 Ways to get the Good ending. the first by getting all the time stones and second by destroying all the generators in every level. At the end of each level if you have 50 rings go into the big ring and finish the special stage to get a single time stone. Generators can be found in the past by looking around the stage.

Sonic CD is a really good game, was waiting for this and it was worth it lol

5:05

That has to be a sonic OVA reference

Man sonic OVA was so good

[mileshk]

5:03 - I can't believe they referenced Sonic's famous line from the OVA. The only thing left there was to say "Strange, isn't it?"

[sherbftfy]

can't believe they settled the timeline debate by outright saying "yes, AFTER SONIC 1" LMFAO

[DonAsirobi]

I like how Justin shouting "Metal Sonic!" keeps reappearing on the channel.

[trevinodude]

That ending was a bit… *STRANGE ISN’T IT?!* This episode of speed strats might be the best one yet!! 😀😀

[bjj]

“Save the planet from disaster, gotta go fast…” love the references

[cmrobbins]

Thanks goodness for anniversary mode, I always have the compulsion to 100% the classic Sonic games in the first run through and I have never beaten Sonic CD before.

[yadienbegode]

1:12 Finally! I am so glad that the whole "did Sonic CD happen after Sonic 1 or Sonic 2?" Argument is finally over thanks to Origins. SEGA actually did something good for once

[tomservodoctor]

Sonic CD remains my favorite of the classic platformers. Every stage is like a giant, retro 90s style playground! Holds a special place in my heart.

Also, I appreciate the OVA references in this vid.

[CurryTheBunVT]

This is a cheezy but welcomed introduction or marketing move to Sonic Games I wouldn't mind. Feels like an Older Cousin or Uncle trying to explain a game to a child.

[agrilsunil]

I love this new type of content keep on doing this kind of stuff for more games
