Palmtree Panic is the first round of Sonic CD. Like most Sonic games, this round follows the tropical island cliché. Many palm trees are around, along with small star-shaped plants and fallen logs. Peaceful waterfalls plunge into an idyllic blue lake in the background. This round is an easy one to start the game off.

The round features many loops and vertical ramps. The small, donut-esque platforms act differently based on time zone: in the present, they will not appear until you step on them; in the past, they are always visible; in the future, they fall out as soon as you step on them.

There's a bizarre + shaped booster right at the start of the level, too, just to give Sonic some gratuitous pseudo-3D to run through.

Instruction Manual Description

Loop the loops, twist through corkscrew turns, find footing on hidden platforms, and spin the wheels to blast up vertical ramps. This Round promises plenty of action for a fleet-footed hedgehog! Hope you remembered to bring your mosquito repellent, 'cuz some of these enemies take a big bite!

Difference between Time Zones

PresentPastBad FutureGood Future
The scenery is very cheerful in the present, apart from the occasional badnik, of course. Green plants, large trees, flowers, everything is normal. A perfect place for a young, energetic hedgehog to begin an adventure. Back in time, the world was much different. The level's past resembles a prehistoric era, including large leafed trees and such. Remember to destroy the robotizer here, or... ...this will happen. The entire land is filled with dead grass, what plants remain are half-robotic, the badniks are ill-maintained, and the water in the background is filled to the brim with toxic waste. Luckily, you can stop this from happening by defeating Eggman's schemes in the past. The world is much different now; although machinery is still around, it is helping the environment rather than hurting it.
