Content
The Sega MultiMedia Studio (demo) consists of a real-time demonstration of Mega-CD hardware features, particularly its ability to scale and rotate sprites, and its full-motion video playback capabilities. In addition to featuring extracts from the 1992 films Cool World and Batman Returns (as well as a clip from the 1946 Bugs Bunny cartoon The Big Snooze), artwork and digitized photographs of Star Trek's USS Enterprise, ToeJam & Earl and Joe Montana also make brief appearances.
The demo's repeated use of Sonic the Hedgehog resulted in several news outlets erroneously confusing the program with the unreleased Sonic the Hedgehog 2 CD.[2][3] It was also mistaken for the scrapped Mega-CD version of Cool World.
