This two bullet points basically say the same thing. The only difference is that the top one mentions the Past sign being close by the gimmick, but that can easily be merged with the bottom one.
Changed line(s) 64,65 (click to see context) from:
** Many zones have at least one Past sign located close to some sort of stage gimmick that allows for easy time-travel. The most common is simply two springs facing one another, ricocheting you back and forth until you time-travel, though most stages have their own specific gimmicks that allow for this.
** While time travel is normally pretty difficult, due to having to run at full speed for around 30 seconds without stopping or running into anything, there are a few locations with two springs facing opposite directions, allowing Sonic to just bounce back and forth until the time travel activates. There are a few other level gimmicks that similarly allow easy time travel, such as these weird spinning things in the Wacky Workbench zone. All you have to do is hit a time travel post, then jump inside.

''Sonic the Hedgehog CD'' (also known as ''Sonic CD'') is a ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' game released for the UsefulNotes/SegaCD in 1993 as a direct sequel to [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 the original 1991 game]]. While it was released after ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'', the games were developed in tandem, and as a result, have some notable differences between them; the CompilationRerelease ''Sonic Origins'' would later definitively confirm that ''CD'' takes place before ''Sonic 2'', helping explain at least a few of the discrepancies. This game introduced two {{Breakout Character}}s: Sonic's pink {{fangirl}} Amy Rose, and the EvilKnockoff Metal Sonic. The [[PreRenderedGraphics animated opening and ending sequences]] were done by Creator/StudioJunio and Creator/ToeiAnimation.
This time, Sonic explores Little Planet, a [[BabyPlanet tiny world]] orbiting Sonic's home planet. For one month out of the entire year, it appears over the Never Lake. Little Planet is the home of seven miraculous Time Stones that have been reported to cause wonders, such as preserving the natural world from the passage of time. To witness this phenomenon, Sonic journeys to Never Lake, but is shocked to find Little Planet encased in a metallic floating prison, chained to a mountain carved with the distinct face of [[BigBad Dr. Eggman]] ([[DubNameChange also known as Dr. Ivo Robotnik]]). The scientist seeks to use the Time Stones to rule over time itself.
Meanwhile, Amy -- who predicted that Sonic would be arriving at Never Lake by reading [[UsefulNotes/TarotCards Tarot cards]] -- tags along and gets kidnapped by Sonic's robotic doppelgänger, Metal Sonic. It's up to Sonic to save Amy, the future of Little Planet, and the entire timeline.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Zig-zagged in regards to Tails being playable in the 2011 and ''Sonic Origins'' releases; the game was released after ''Sonic 2'', which doesn't make this a straight example, but with ''Sonic Origins'' placing this game between ''Sonic 1'' and ''2'', it could count as this timeline wise.
** A straighter example of this is Knuckles being playable in the ''Sonic Origins Plus'' release; he originally appeared in ''Sonic 3'', which came after this game both in release order and in timeline order.

** According to Naoto Ohshima, most levels, with the exceptions of Quartz Quadrant and Wacky Workbench, were made as more surreal versions of the original ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' levels. Even the level theme order is the same. Sometimes, the similarities are subtle, sometimes not:
*** In Palmtree Panic, the Tamabboh Badnik looks like a Moto Bug and behaves like a Crabmeat.
*** Collision Chaos has a [[JustForPun Spring Yard]] at the end of both Zones 1 and 2. The second zone also has two goals, just like Spring Yard Zone Act 2.
*** Tidal Tempest's graphics resemble Labyrinth's. The water current gimmick, which sends Sonic spinning underwater is used in the second zone.
*** Stardust Speedway shares its level theme and position with Star Light. It plays rather differently, though, besides being fast-paced.
*** Metallic Madness' spinning, disappearing and moving platforms and doors are all from Scrap Brain. There's also a GiantMook version of the Bomb badnik called Bigbom and each Zone has a unique background, just like Scrap Brain.
*** Kama-Kama/Robot Mantis, a Badnik in Collision Chaos based on Kama Killer/Slicer from ''Sonic 2'', but with linear instead of homing projectiles.
** The Time Stones clearly fill in for the Chaos Emeralds.
** Quartz Quadrant and Wacky Workbench strongly resemble Hidden Palace Zone and Cyber City Zone, respectively. These levels were designed in the early stages of ''Sonic 2''[='=]s development. However, they didn't make it into the final version (although elements from them did). It's quite possible that this was a conscious move, as ''Sonic 2''[='=]s developers had to cut several levels due to a tight deadline.
