Sonic CD: The Prodigy Edition - Part 1 [Intro + Palmtree Panic Zone]
19Welcome to my first ever gameplay video, recorded using KegaFusion Emulator. This isn't any ordinary Gameplay video of Sonic CD, no; instead, this is The Prodigy Edition... Yay!
Basically, I had been watching other uploader's videos of uploaded Sonic CD Zones with the music being replaced, & I wanted to experiment with this idea. The reason why I picked The Prodigy songs was because I was interested from reading an infamous line off the Wikipedia Sonic CD page regarding the musical differences between the Jp/Eu & US soundtracks ages ago:
"an atrocity which remains the biggest injustice in localization history: worse than taking the farting mama out of DJ Boy, or the fruity mid-boss out of Streets of Rage 3. The company line was that American consumers weren't ready for techno... Prodigy burst onto the rave scene in the early 1990s and achieved immense popularity worldwide, but the US needed elevator music for the first arranged Sonic."

Other than that, I am an immense fan of The Prodigy (even though I started off late), & it fits so well with SCD!
--------------------------------------------
For these videos, it's not a constant playthrough (hence the scores reset after each Zone) since I can't play for the whole day , so I come back to my save every once in a while. Another thing is that I will stall a little at a few points for the sake of showing off the music from each Zone & Time period (both Bad & Good), as that is the reason for this playthrough. That, & I want to collect the rings for the Special Stages too.
Just want to point out too; Whilst this is a gameplay/Let's Play video of the Japanese Mega CD version of Sonic CD [ROM], I used the SCD 2011 intro animation for this video, since the music replacements doesn't effect the intro & ending video sequences (just like the Past level themes). So I simply got the complete intro, muted it & placed Smack My Bitch Up over the track to see what it would be like if these track were possible to replace.
Tracks used:
Title Screen & Intro = "Smack My Bitch Up"
PP Present = "Voodoo People"
PP Bad Future = "Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix)"
PP Good Future = "Voodoo People (Paranormal Attack Remix)"
Invincibility = "Memphis Belle"
Speed Shoes = "Music Reach [1/2/3/4]"
Act Clear = "Invaders Must Die"
Special Stage = "Funky Shit"
Boss = "Firestarter"
