“If it weren’t for the great figure of Toriyama-sensei, Sonic’s influence would never have come to life,” Yamaguchi wrote today, sharing an artwork of Super Sonic he originally posted in 2022. “The relationship between [Sonic and Tails] in Sonic 2 was created based on the image of Piccolo and Gohan,” he added. “Therefore, without the work Dragon Ball, the relationship between these two would not exist today. Thank you very much, Mr. Toriyama.”

Sonic's differing US and Japanese design throughout the 1990s is well-documented, but Yasushi Yamaguchi appears to have inadvertently added a new piece of trivia into the history books. The original designer of Miles 'Tails' Prower recently revealed that, of all the issues SEGA Japan had with SEGA America's take on the company's mascot design, one of the most persistent was over Sonic's little American crooked legs.

The strange factoid came as Yamaguchi was answering a question related to the recent discovery of an early Tails look and colour design. The creative expressed confusion that so much media had been created with Tails' design being based around that super-brown sprite, as he noted that he quickly discarded the colour palette after being unsatisfied with the results.

But after being shown photos of SEGA America marketing vehicles and materials featuring a brown Tails based on the old design, Yamauguchi decided to let it be known that SEGA Japan was often annoyed that the US office would ignore the Sonic Team's design notes.

I have no knowledge of the [above] pictures or figures in the photos. At the time, Sega of America ignored the opinions of the development staff. They did not listen to our requests for the number of fingers on Sonic in the package art, or our request to fix his legs to be straight.

SEGA of America's maverick approach to marketing and game development in the 1990s is well-documented - and it's no secret that during the 16-bit console gaming era, the US and Japanese SEGA offices often did not see eye to eye, with the former often ignoring style, design and product guidelines from the latter headquarters.

Sonic the Hedgehog was regularly in the crossfire, with package art and various multi-media projects featuring artwork that differed from the original Japanese design. Most infamously, an entirely new backstory to Sonic's origin was created by SEGA of America, seemingly without the knowledge of Sonic Team or SEGA Japan at the time. This had been made apparent in recent years with former Sonic Team alumni such as Yuji Naka expressing confusion at hearing stories about 'Dr Ovi Kintobor' at the Summer of Sonic convention.

Yamaguchi later added that SEGA Japan actually did not have the adequate resources to fully manage the company's characters until after the release of Sonic CD, which might explain why there was suddenly a lot more cohesion between the East and West markets after in the late 16-bit era.

Despite all this hubbub in the 90s, it turned out that, according to the SatAM Historian, Sonic co-creator Naoto Oshima was apparently a big fan of the bow-legged American rendition of the hero! So, swings and roundabouts, I guess.

Death Egg Protector

Continuing on the path of modelling Sonic robots as a side hobby, I am proud to present my model of "Mecha Sonic MK.I" from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Mega Drive.

Modelling him was partly complicated from a design standpoint, since there already exists a design from SEGA based off the in-game sprites. However, it is severely lacking in many features the original design had (such as the penned homing missile fingers, and the additional reloadable spikes on the back).

As such, I largely chose to base my model off of the conceptual pieces provided by the character's original creator, Yasushi Yamaguchi (often credited under the name of Judy Totoya).

Sega Mega CD - Sonic the Hedgehog CD

Title: Sonic the Hedgehog CD / ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグＣＤ

Developer/Publisher: Sega CS3 / Sega CS1 / Toei Animation / H.I.C. Co. Ltd. / Sonic Team

Release date: 23 September 1993

Catalogue No.: G-6021

Genre: Action

Two years into the Mega CD's life, Sega gave us Sonic fans a game to enjoy. Directed by the real creator of Sonic (Naoto Ohshima), and 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. According to Yasushi Yamaguchi, Sonic CD's story takes place between Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

CHAPTER 1: Little Planet - Story

The text for the story is taken from Sonic Origins.

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 the 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 archenemy once and for all... 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, Sonic's biggest fan and self-proclaimed girlfriend, had been doing what she often did, playing around 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 Amy's appearance, she may have been nothing more than a slight bother if not for Eggman's intervention.

At the outskirts of Collision Chaos, Sonic received his first glimpse of Metal Sonic, a robotic duplicate that Eggman created specifically to counter Sonic's 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 doppelgänger.

"No problem! With a little courage, you can do anything!"

CHAPTER 2: Gameplay

Though some of the terminology is switched around, the basic premise of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog titles remains: 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 straightforward battles with the doctor, the fights with him in CD are varied, taking fewer hits but being significantly more complicated and difficult.

One of the essential elements that make the Sonic CD experience unique is the use of the time travel mechanic. Always starting in the Present time zone, the player can make a Sonic jump between the Past and the Future by running across "Time Warp" plates, adorned with the word "Past" or "Future". In each of the four potential periods, one can jump to feature completely new art reflecting where Sonic is, with subtle changes in the layout. What may work as a quick way to blast through a Zone in the Present may be entirely impossible to get through in the Past, and vice versa. The "Time Attack" mode gives the player the option to run through any Zone as fast as possible, the best times being recorded in the Mega-CD's RAM. Probably why this game supports the Mega-CD Back-Up RAM cartridge.

Chapter 3: Soundtrack

Because of the game's presentation on then-cutting-age digital media, Sonic CD was the first in the series to take full advantage of high-quality, Redbook audio. Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata were the ones responsible for the soundtrack, creating a basic theme for the "present" levels and then remixing them for the "past," "good future" and "bad future" variants, altering the mood to reflect on where Sonic was now running but maintaining the basic elements of the core theme. It's worth noting that, though most of the songs are done in Redbook format, each "past" track is done in PCM format, similar to the style in the Mega Drive games. Very oddly the soundtrack is different in the US version, with Sega of America opting for a different soundtrack.

Verdict

So what do I think of Sonic CD? Easily the absolute best out of all the 16-bit Sonic games to me. Gameplay is debatable but I had gotten so used to the Time Travel mechanic that it's hard for me to go back to a Classic Sonic game without it. The soundtrack is absolutely sublime, especially in the Japanese and European versions. And the fact it is now in Sonic Origins, makes me so happy. Also, one note. The US manual for Sonic CD erroneously calls Amy Rose "Princess Sally". No idea where Princess Sally had any relevance in the storyline. Ehhh.....
