This is because the Game Gear version of Sonic Spinball was released only in the U.S., and Tails' Skypatrol was released only in Japan.

Also, the manuals for Sonic Spinball and Tails' Skypatrol will always be the same regardless which language setting is used. However, the European PlayStation 2 version does not have the Japanese-exclusive games at all, and Sonic CD is still set to the American music by default. The game will load the data depending on the language the console is set on. The PlayStation 2 version contains both Japanese and American regional data, including different released manuals scans and alternate and differing versions of games (for example, Sonic CD has both the Japanese and American soundtracks).

This PC code was not optimized for consoles. The PC version of Sonic CD made a call to a specific graphics card to display Tidal Tempest's water colors. The reason for the clear and clean water in the Gems Collection version is because the port of Sonic CD is the PC version. In the Sega CD and PC versions, the water was colored differently in all time zones (Present was green, Past was brown, Good Future was cyan, and Bad Future was red). In the port of Sonic CD, the water in Tidal Tempest in all time zones is clear.

Or you can get an MD and MCD for maybe $30. Is there any trick to running MCD games on an SCD you ask? Um, yeah, you're looking at $70 for a MegaCart or $50 for a modchip. There are well over a dozen SCD games that I personally enjoy, but considering folks here probably don't like RPGs, I could easily see why some folks can count their favored SCD games on one hand. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be interested in getting the best version of Sonic R and a home port of Sonic the Fighters but if you really don't want them or the BK ports, go ahead and get the MCD Sonic CD with the arguably superior soundtrack (although the US version uses the JP past tunes so you already have almost 1/3 the soundtrack there). But if you really want the JP soundtrack, this is certainly the cheapest option.

While the PS2 disc is large enough to store both soundtracks and let you choose based on the system language (English and Japanese are both available in JP PS2s but only the former is for US PS2s), the GC couldn't fit both so each region's version only has its respective soundtrack. Yes, although it's more a limitation than anything else.

JP Gamecube version has the JP soundtrack? Even when booted on a US Cube via freelaoder?
