Well first I'd actively recommend not playing the 1993 sega/mega cd version, it's buggy, is in 4:3 and has much worse cutscenes. Play the 2011 version instead, preferably on the decompilation with Miracle Edition.
Anyway I think it's one of the stranger classic games, I prefer it to 1 and perhaps 2 but 3k and Mania are absolutely better. Noticeably it's really short if you just run through the game, which I tend to do since that's how I like playing sonic games. Tbh I think that's good. And even then, there's very little disruption to the game itself, all the boss fights being horribly designed (as usual) and particularly easy this time around means they don't get in the way, unlike sonic 2 which I actively don't want to finish once I've beaten wing fortress.
The level design in this game is really odd. It doesn't feel correct at all. I mean look at Stardust Speedway, those acts took me ages to learn in time attack and they're really quick. It doesn't really follow the classic sonic design of high paths being faster, there's kinda just a lot of paths. everywhere. In a level like Quartz Quadrant sticking to the bottom is precisely what you want to do. So yeah, this game is definitely not optimized for time attack, and even outside of time attack it kinda doesn't make sense. I did still enjoy trying to minimize times on these levels, though I'd appreciate if time attack mode didn't include the boss acts.... and it was way less flawed....... like iirc it doesn't let you retry bc you have 0 lives. I think ME might fix this, and I can't comment on Origins because it's origins and i have sonic origins on my computer already
but that's besides the point. I don't find the prospect of getting all the generators particularly enjoyable, and while this special stage is one of my favourites (and the 6th one hates functioning on vanilla decomp for some reason) it's still a chaos emerald-adjacent quest and those aren't my favourite parts of these games.
So:
Short and sweet, easy to just play, but doesn't really have a lot of what i look for. 3/5 and for context in my opinion:
1: 2/5
CD: 3/5
2: 3/5
3k: 5/5
Mania: 5/5
Superstars (Forget it existed while writing LOL): 4/5
Also I should mention this has the best music of all the CLASSIC classics
and also that majin sonic is the funniest shit and you aren't making me find it scary ever

One thing that keeps me interested in Sonic CD is the unused stage called Dubious Depths. it was unused due to the music limitations, the design, and not matching Sonic's speed, because the game was based on time travel. This is some official art for the zone:

The levels can be too large, and it's probably what makes the game too hard to finish.

Mario Kart Wii cheat codes not working
Also, do you know where to find them? It's stressful to unlock vehicles in Grand Prix.

I don't like being pressured
And Wapeach
Since we're like Peach's servants, Wapeach can be much worse and be mean to us on purpose
And now someone posted a topic called "Lemon"
Another fruit beside a peach
Go see for yourself
