i forgot pressing start and then C in the original version makes you lose a life and restart the level oh no
there is a timeline where sonic CD was just a straight port of sonic 1 with redbook CD audio and maybe one new level
for him and his crew to put together an entirely new game soundtrack that would rival against one of The OSTs of all time (sonic CD japan / europe, seriously) and being given only 8 WEEKS to do it, they did a pretty damn good job, the full album has extended cuts on almost all the american sonic CD ost and it's pretty good stuff
also i didn't remember that getting all the time stones destroys the machines automatically i guess instead of just forcing good futures some other way
the last time i played sonic CD was a year ago when i was also high off my ass and i wondered why i could not get past metallic madness zone 2 in the past
that's because a level design oversight exists where you cannot finish that level in the past, you have to time travel back to the present or later or else you can't progress out of a pit
