    For those who said that “Wow i did not know that a spring is a sonic cd reference”, he did not mean a spring, he meant the animation that sonic does when he jumps on a spring.

    Stardust Speedway: EXISTS Everyone: Is that a Sonic CD reference?
  • @just_viben07
    I just love how he/she did the sonic CD special stage so flawlessly when I'm just over here struggling to get the first ufo
  • @pixeldemon6173
    As a massive Sonic CD fan, I greatly appreciate this video!
  • @JerpyTH
    now we need a knuckles chaotix references in sonic mania.
  • The spindash option from CD is in the game, if you go to "NO SAVE", press Triangle/Y on the controller (depending what controller you are using - Triangle for PS4/PS5 and Triangle for Xbox One/Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch), you'll come up with an option to change it from Mania to CD which will allow you to use the peel out dash. NOTE: You MUST have one medallion whether it's gold or silver in order to unlock it in the special options menu.

    Just wanted too add this because it's easy to miss. Tails's victory pose in Mania is a reference to when you enter a special stage in CD (2011). It's the same pose and it didn't appear in S3&K - only in CD (2011).

    Sonic CD had strange level design but some very cool ideas. I never realized how many made it to Sonic Mania.

    This video just reminds me how good the soundtrack for Sonic CD was and still is.
  • You forgot to mention in the credits they use the same yay sound effect they used in Sonic CD in Palmtree panic
  • @charabill4129
    Oh, Sonic CD is absolutely my favourite classic game, and I see Sonic Mania as a good compilation of classic games. =)
  • @skoopercantdraw
    the stardust speedway and metalic madness zones arent actually references, they are just stages in the game and everybody knows that sonic cd has those stages and there basically the same
  • @DanRootAnimTute
    If anyone hasn't said so already, you missed the spinners in Palmtree Panic are re-used as bar stools in Mirage Saloon. The glass orbs in Collision Chaos are also reused in Mirage Saloon. The torrent tube in Tidal Tempest is used in Hydrocity. The coil tubes in Quartz Quadrant are used in Chemical Plant. And the bouncy platforms in Whacky used in Chemical. Nicely done otherwise.
  • @soulless9081
    Is it me, or something about CD seriously stands out from Sonic 1, 2, and 3 (and Knuckles).
  • @GhostLordRetro
    There is one Easter Egg you missed, and it's actually in Knuckles segment of Green Hill Act 1: there's a set of platforms that shares a striking resemblance to a set of platforms in Palmtree Panic!
