Special Stage - Sonic the Hedgehog CD [OST]

Game: Sonic the Hedgehog CD
Version: JP/EU
Music: Special Stage

[Technonova]

I always associate this music with the CD remaster port’s menu instead of the special stage since I always played the demo on my phone.

This honestly worked so well as the menu screen for the Sega Forever port of this game.

The programmer has a nap.
Hold out! Programmer!

JP: Stay on your toes if you wanna get those stones!
US: Whoa... what alternate reality is this?

[SPARKLYDEATHCAT]

This reminds me of having to take a piss really bad on a road trip but no stops are near

[AS]

This song screams early 90’s and I love it!

A comment from the another now deleted OST said.

"This would work weirdly very well for a RPG."

And I agree.

These are harder than they look. In the later stages, the UFOs move quickly and can change direction instantly. They move in a set pattern, but it's still too hard to hit them.

In elementary school, when we used the iPads, then I would sometimes play Sonic CD if I found it. I always played in JPN soundtrack for no reason. But then I heard USA. I love both soundtracks. Sonic CD is the best Sega CD game there is.

This music track in particular has always been one of my favourite tracks in the game. I just love how fast and upbeat it is, it also reminds me of music you'd hear in the adventure titles.

If you look at the bottom of the screen after half way through the video, every time the red bar starts going up a new triangle the beat changes.

The theme of exiting and returning to gain all the Time Stones in the Remake

[pytha]

Feels very fittingly chaotic and otherworldly as a special stage theme - extra fitting considering how especially bizarre Sonic CD's special stages are specifically, with this being the first time any sort of 3D-like perspective was used in the franchise

[Poyostar]

In all honesty, I think this, alongside the theme from the DS version of Sonic Colors, may very well be my favorite Special Stage theme in the entire franchise. But then again, given how my favorite Sonic OST in general is Sonic CD's Japanese OST, I guess that might be a given...

Plot twist: the title screen was a special stage

[ThomastheTank]

This game had a poppin soundtrack, even the bad futures.

[q.h.s]

This is one of the most cool and feel good Sonic songs ever!

[calebstuff]

For some reason this really makes me think about Ape Escape...

[getBlackbird]

Easily the best special stage track in the entire franchise!

[cheesy]

I don't care what anyone says, but these are my favorite Special Stages in any Classic Sonic game. The halfpipe is too overdone (and only in a few games like Rush and Colors DS is it actually fun), and Blue Sphere is alright, but I love the music, controls, and visuals of these ones.
