### **Sonic the Hedgehog CD Intro (Color-Corrected)**
*Because Toei fucked this shit up.*

Quoted from a post by Sonic Retro user Chimes:

I've taken it upon myself to white-balance the full intro animation as well as doing basic color correction.
Obviously, this isn't anywhere near as good as it *could* be, and definitely not as good as what groups like Seed of Might do for Dragon Ball. This was more so made as an experiment if nothing else.
**Audio tracks included:**
- JP/EU Opening "Sonic - You Can Do Anything"
- US Opening "Sonic Boom"
- JP/EU Opening "Sonic - You Can Do Anything" (Early Take)
- JP/EU Opening "Sonic - You Can Do Anything" (2011 Instrumental)
- "Sonic - You Can Do Anything ~Remix from Little Planet~" from "Radio DC"
- US Opening "Sonic Boom" (Cash Cash vs Crush 40)

#### **FAQ**
**Where is the video sourced from?**
From Venny's release of the Sonic CD intro from the 25th anniversary DVD, which is the best quality version of the intro: https://nyaa.si/view/1276275
**Why not use Sonic Origins' opening/the 2011 mobile release?**
Sonic Origins uses an AI upscaled opening that introduces artifacts and some general AI messiness and the 2011 mobile release has the cutscenes cropped to 16:9. I wanted to have this be in the original aspect ratio without any AI upscaling.
**Why didn't you include the ending cutscenes?**
Unfortunately, the ending cutscenes don't really have any decent-quality releases. The best version of them is in Sonic Gems Collection, but even that's pretty low-quality.
