Sonic CD is the version remade in a new engine by Christian Whitehead--who went on to make Sonic Mania--that was delisted from Steam when Sega put it in the new Sonic Origins collection--but it's still available on the PS3 store ($4.99).
The Sonic CD intro was made for the original Mega CD version by Studio Junio ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_CD#Design ), who made the game's cutscenes along with Toei Animation ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/StudioJunio )--so not a modern Tyson Hesse joint and I was babbling on about him pointlessly--although I suppose there's a good chance the style of this intro strongly influenced HIS style.
All three of these Trials run in 1080p. CD reverts to a blurry filter each time it starts, which is sort of annoying--you gotta go switch it to the no-filter "Nostalgia" setting in the options menu if you want less blur (but it's still SLIGHTLY blurry even after that, hrm).
They're all over very quickly! 4 II just ends in mid-level, mid-jump. ; D
Thought I was gonna be busting on Sonic 4 but...I kinda ended up enjoying the trial versions. = oo ... And yes I went and bought the Steam versions afterwards. [_[ They require Java! ; DDD
And I may have compulsed on eBay for the three GBA Sonic games the Sonic 4 developer, Dimps ("Dimps: Digital Innovator"; "Dimps" stands for "Digital Multi-Platforms" ^D ^); "the company was founded [...] 2006 by several former SNK and Capcom employees, including Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting and The King of Fighters co-creator Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto"--Wikipedia), made. ]_]]] (They did make SFIV; they've also worked on SFV, made a bunch of 3DS Sonic games, and, like, a ton of DB and other licensed stuff.)
