0:00 Super Peel-Out

Stardust Speedway: EXISTS

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

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.

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

Sonic just looks more aggressive in most of the cd clips

If anyone hasn't said so already, you missed the spinners in Palmtree Panic are re-used as bar stools in Mirage Saloon.

now we need a knuckles chaotix references in sonic mania.

Edit note: I’ll try and make it simpler for people who didn’t understand or were thinking about a different machine

3:46 also, when metal is stomping the rabbit, that's a reference too, sometimes when you go to the past to destroy the machines you can find metal doing that and you have to destroy the thing he's attached to, to make him disappear.

I actually love the Metal Sonic theme in Sonic Mania, especially the chorus part.

Sonic cd is my favourite classic sonic game and seeing it getting so much attention from sega is great
