Sonic CD: The Unsung Masterpiece

Welcome to the Sonic CD renaissance~ Sonic CD gets a bit of a bad rap. Let’s see if we can’t do something about that. Join me as I meticulously scrutinise every last detail of this bizarre and magical title, along with every other Classic Sonic game while I’m at it! It’s a one-of-a-kind Sonic spectacular!! Fair warning: this is not a normal analysis video. It’s something far stranger; more abstract, more experimental and more personal. It's a journey of twists and turns, careful build-ups, huge pay-offs, big laughs, crazy surprises and perhaps even a few sweet moments. Most importantly, it is a work of pure passion and sincerity. That alone doesn’t make a good video, but I still think it's important. As a wise man once said, “the most powerful story anyone can tell is their own”. So, sit back and let me tell you a story!

Finale [7:37:24] 33. ~the EPILOGUE~‎ [7:43:32] While each chapter was designed to be enhanced by the context of the prior ones, many of them also function as standalone viewing experiences. Don’t be afraid to jump around to whichever topic catches your eye. Curious to watch the video but find yourself intimidated by its monstrous length? Try watching a chapter per day. That’s a whole month of awesome content! If you just want a tight, streamlined Sonic CD analysis without the complete narrative experience, jump between the following chapters: 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 28, 29, 30, 32. I call this “The Flood Order”. It’s a wildly different experience but still valid and interesting. Just like Burger King, watch in whatever way gives you the most entertainment!
