Sonic CD
1993 · Platform · Sega CD
Overview
Sonic CD (1993) is the Sega CD's best-selling game, in which Sonic travels between the past, present and future of each stage, and the debut of Amy Rose and Metal Sonic.
Deep Dive
Sonic can travel back and forward in time within each stage, and turning stages into "good futures" — or collecting all seven Time Stones — leads to the best ending. Amy Rose and Metal Sonic made their first appearances here.
Developer Story
Naoto Ohshima directed it. It came out in Japan in September 1993 and sold over 1.5 million copies. Christian Whitehead's 2011 remake brought it to modern platforms, and it was later included in Sonic Origins.
