This game differs from other Sonic games by allowing the player to take control of one of four teams, each with three characters, who each have unique abilities to use. The game received mixed reviews from critics but it performed commercially well, becoming a million seller and making the best selling lists for all three of its original platforms. Gameplay. The game introduces several new gameplay elements. Unlike most Sonic games, where players control one character, three characters are available at any time to choose from, as the player may switch the partys leader freely, whilst the other two characters follow. Each character has an individual ability speed for fast stages, power for breaking objects, or flight for reaching high platforms, and the player must use these abilities to traverse the fourteen stages. Each stage has a different layout for each team, providing different challenges for each story. Each ability is also represented in the interface by color blue for speed, yellow for flight, and red for power. Each ability also has an element associated with it Speed uses wind, Fly uses lightning and Power uses fire. These can be used to solve various puzzles necessary to progress through stages, most notably in Team Chaotixs Mystic Mansion stage. Each team also has a Team Blast skill, which can be performed when the Team Blast Gauge is full. This can be achieved by performing such actions as destroying enemies or collecting many Rings. Teams. In addition to controlling three characters, the player may select one of the four teams available to use at the beginning of the game. Each team has one member capable of the aforementioned skills, which are Speed, Power and Flight, but follow a different, yet intertwined, storyline. Each team also has a unique Team Blast skill that has major power and additional effect. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Team Leader Sonic the Hedgehog. Team Sonic is the title team of Sonic Heroes.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD is the first and only Sonic the Hedgehog title released for the Mega CD add on used with the Sega Mega Drive console. Developed separately from the sequels done by the Sega Technical Institute, the game was directed by the creator of Sonic, Naoto Ohshima. Introducing such fan favorites as Amy Rose and Metal Sonic, it has become something of a cult classic, partly because of its release on the expensive add on that most Mega Drive owners did not have access to, and partly because of its visual style and gameplay that makes it stand out from the other classic games in the series. Story. The main setting of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. For one month out of the year, an enigmatic miniature celestial body called the Little Planet appears over the enormous Never Lake. Both a place of beauty and wonder, it is said that time moves freely on the planet, and that entire sceneries can change in a blink of an eye, all because of the mysterious secret they hold, the seven mystical Time Stones. It is said that whoever possesses these gems will be able to freely move through time, just as the surface of Little Planet does. Almost expectantly, the news of such a place grabs the attention of Dr. Eggman, the mad genius who desires nothing more than world domination. Journeying to the Little Planet, Eggman immediately begins turning it into his personal fortress, littering the landscape with his mechanical genius. Powered not by animals but by the essence of flowers, he sets his army to tear the planet apart so he can claim the Time Stones for himself. As fate would have it, Sonic the Hedgehog, the speedy blue blur who has stopped Eggman time and again, was also intending on seeing the small, miracle planet, oblivious to the fact Eggman had already beaten him to the locale. Learning of the news that Sonic was fast approaching, Eggman only smiled, excited to put his latest and greatest invention up against the hedgehog, confident that he would finally be able to defeat his arch enemy once and for all. Arriving at Never Lake, Sonic immediately could tell that something was amiss. The Little Planet, which should have been a shining example of natural beauty, was instead covered in a mechanical wasteland, visible even from the distance he was at. Seeing that the small planet was tethered to the Earths surface, Sonic examined the mountainside the chain was connected to, recognizing the visage etched into its surface. With the image of Eggmans face smiling at him, Sonic confirmed what he was already expecting. Jumping onto the chain, Sonic quickly darted up, speeding towards the surface of the Little Planet and preparing to face Eggman once more. What might have otherwise been another simple fight against the genius scientist was immediately complicated by another layer that Sonic only discovered once he set foot in Palmtree Panic. Amy Rose, Sonics biggest fan and self proclaimed girlfriend, had been doing what she often did, playing around with her tarot cards in an attempt to look into the future. The cards telling her that she had a destined encounter with Sonic at Never Lake, she journeyed herself to the Little Planet, immediately becoming excited once she spotted her blue idol. None too pleased with Amys appearance, she may have been nothing more than a slight bother if not for Eggmans intervention. At the outskirts of Collision Chaos, Sonic received his first glimpse of Metal Sonic, a robotic duplicate that Eggman created specifically to counter Sonics every move. In the blink of an eye, the robot snatched up Amy, disappearing into the horizon. Now Sonic must not only stop Dr. Eggman and grab the Time Stones before he does, but save Amy Rose from the clutches of his metallic doppelgnger. No problem With a little courage, you can do anything. Game Mechanics. Gameplay. Though some of the terminology is switched around, the basic premise of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog titles remain to traverse a series of obstacles and enemies within a given level under ten minutes, generally from left to right. While loop de loops, spikes, springs, and an assortment of other standard Sonic elements return, there are enough unique elements to this installment of the platformer series which makes it stand out from the quartet released on the Sega Mega Drive. Instead of the usual Zone and Act nomenclature, stages are referred to as Rounds which are split into three Zones the third Zone is significantly shorter than the other two, but features a boss encounter with Dr. Eggman at the end. While Sonic the Hedgehog and its Mega Drive sequels had very straight forward battles with the doctor, the fights with him in CD are varied, taking fewer hits but being significantly more complicated and difficult. The control scheme for Sonic remains largely unchanged, the same momentum based gameplay preserved under the hood. Pressing one of the buttons on the control pad once again allows Sonic to curl up into his spin attack, attacking an enemy from any angle as long as spikes or some other dangerous projectile is not in the way. Pressing down on the control pad while running also allows Sonic to curl up in his spin attack, the roll lasting as long as momentum will allow. In addition, Sonic possesses his spin dash move from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, albeit in an altered state. In Sonic 2 and nearly every game that features the spin dash, all the player must do is press down and tap either A, B, or C once to gain a slight burst of speed, additional button presses equaling a greater initial speed once Sonic zooms off. However, in Sonic CD, the action button can be pushed only once, the control pad being held down for a certain amount of time before Sonic can dash ahead. If let go too soon, Sonic will remain stationary. To balance this out, a new move was added to the game, called the Super Peel Out. Holding up as opposed to down, Sonic charges up his speed, and when let go will zoom forward faster than he can normally achieve, his legs resembling a figure eight as opposed to the standard circular loop. Though waiting will rev up his speed, immediately letting go on the up of the control pad will still cause Sonic to run ahead, just not at his maximum. In addition, if you get stuck and cant make a good future in a particular level, you can commit suicide by pressing Start and then A, B, or C. Returning from the original game are the plethora of item boxes scattered throughout each level. Just as in the first Sonic the Hedgehog, a grand total of five can be discovered, each with its own benefits. If a player either jumps or rolls into one, the reward is given instantaneously. Finding one with an image of a ring gives a total of ten to Sonics overall ring count, offering him protection if he happens to be struck by an enemy or obstacle. The hazy shield icon grants a barrier of protection to the player, protecting them from getting hit once without the fear of losing any rings. A collection of stars holds the invincibility power up, where Sonic can rush forward for a limited amount of time without fear, while the shoe icon signifies a temporary speed boost. Finally, finding a monitor adorned with Sonics head grants the player an extra life.
