SONIC CD SPRITES SONIC SERIES
Sonic CD received critical acclaim and is often called one of the best games in the Sonic series and the platform game genre. Two soundtracks were composed for the game: the original score, which the original Japanese and European releases used, was composed by Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata, while the North American score was composed by Spencer Nilsen, David Young and Mark "Sterling" Crew. It features the debuts of Amy Rose and Metal Sonic, and includes animated cutscenes. Directed by Sonic co-creator Naoto Ohshima, the developers designed the game to show off the technical capabilities of the Sega CD. The Sega CD's flagship game, Sonic CD was conceived as an enhanced port of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but was reworked after lackluster sales of Sonic 2 in Japan. By traveling through time, players can access different versions of stages, featuring alternative layouts, music, and graphics. Sonic CD is distinguished by its time travel feature, a key aspect to the story and gameplay. Like other Sonic games, Sonic runs and jumps through several themed levels while collecting rings and defeating robots. The story follows Sonic the Hedgehog as he attempts to save an extraterrestrial body, Little Planet, from Doctor Robotnik. Sonic the Hedgehog CD is a 1993 platform game for the Sega CD developed and published by Sega.
