By far the best way to play Sonic CD. Takes the already great base of the 2011 port and elevates it to the next level. (Played with the & Knuckles add-on).
Sonic has access to his full classic moveset with the drop dash and insta-shield being added to the game, the former being a great tool for time travel.
Tails hasn't changed much appart from the added flight cancel, making it much easier to fly through the stages quickly.
Amy is a new addition in Restored, she is limited to the Sonic CD spindash meaning she can't pick up speed as well as the others but her double jump makes up for that turning her into a platforming focused character.
Knuckles is a part of the "& Knuckles" addon and is a perfect addition to this game. His gliding and climbing are really well suited to hunting for robot generators and Metal Sonic holograms.
This is just scratching the surface of what these two mods together have to offer, with a whole host of options being available to change up the gameplay. For example I turned on the options to start in a random time zone and play as a random character at the start of each stage/when traveling time to make a Pseudo-Encore Mode.
