😂 Guess Green Hills Zone’s always stuck in people’s heads ‘case it must be pretty rare now with everyone used to saving shit that somene gets psta it, congrats on being one of those few, i’ve only ever got past Green Hills once
August 19, 2020 at 12:48 pm #184667Few of my favourite tracks of Sparkstar (RKA2):
Ancient Ruins
Desert Pyramids
Gedol Airship
Assault of Gedol CastleFirst and last tracks I still imagine as Sparkster’s theme: It’s a suitably heroic piece of music for the character.

August 19, 2020 at 1:20 pm #184674August 19, 2020 at 4:33 pm #184709Sonic 2 tracks, right in the childhood:
Mystic Cave Zone
Death Gauntlet Zone
Hill Top Zone
Tails is Useless ZoneAugust 19, 2020 at 4:41 pm #184712Bonus: Posted in the other thread, but it’s too much of a classic.
Other people: Is this Green Hill Zone?
Sonic fans: Don’t talk to me or my son ever again.August 19, 2020 at 5:02 pm #184714The Didact is the Darth Vader of video games.
If this is a hill, I choose to die on it.
Bonus: Nemesis, a secondary theme for the character.
August 20, 2020 at 4:03 pm #184973Another one of my MegaDrive favourites – Ristar, a seriously overlooked gem from Sonic Team. This soundtrack is perfection itself.
Stage 1-1: Ristar the Shooting Star
Stage 4-1: Planet Sonata – A seriously brilliant stroke in level design, using the music to build towards a delightful crescendo.
Stage 5-1: Planet FreonAugust 20, 2020 at 4:10 pm #184978The end stage music is great, too.
Boss theme
End Stage Clear
Final Boss theme: Kaiser Greedy, the Space PirateAugust 21, 2020 at 4:35 pm #185257Some ace 90’s techno vibes from the last levels of Sonic 3D:
Sonic 3D: Gene Gadget Zone
Sonic 3D: Panic Puppet ZoneBe cool, be wild, be groovy! – I thought snowboarding away from an avalanche was the coolest thing ever at ten years old, and it still bloody well is.
“Welcome to Twinkle Park!”August 23, 2020 at 7:32 am #185582Summerset had some pretty average quests, but I loved the idyllic landscape, coral beaches and exotic flora and fauna. It’s a paradise on Nirn. (Plus I liked the theme of conflict of the Altmer regularly defending their homeland from raiding Moarmer and Sea Sload).
[Insert obligatory “Have you heard of the High Elves?” Oblivion reference]
August 24, 2020 at 5:22 pm #185912Sonic CD’s Japanese soundtrack is some of the greatest out of the whole series:
Toot Toot Sonic Warrior (Opening theme)
Stardust Speedway
Metallic Madness
Cosmic Eternity (Ending theme)August 24, 2020 at 5:25 pm #185914Also, special mention to the US soundtrack, too. I still prefer the Jap version, but this US version of Stardust Speedway sounds like something straight out of an American 90’s sci-fi flick:
August 25, 2020 at 6:28 pm #186115Sonic 3 Music:
Hydrocity Zone
Carnival Night Zone – DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-CIRCUS-AFRO
(Yeah, I got the time out on the barrel like everyone else).
Boss theme
Final Boss theme – Oh, god… the arms… get them away…August 25, 2020 at 6:40 pm #186118Sonic & Knuckles Music:
Lava Reef Zone
Death Egg Zone – A challenging zone that mind-fucks with you the whole way through. Sonic Team went all out in the level design here.
Doomsday Zone – The first time you had Super Sonic exclusive boss. Unforgettable.Also, forgot the Sonic 3 credits music.
There is long-standing supposition going around the Sonic fandom that Michael Jackson helped create the music for Sonic 3, but Sonic Team have neither confirmed nor denied it. But I’m inclined to believe it, given how much some tracks resemble Jacko’s musical style (the credits theme matches “Stranger in Moscow” beat for beat).
August 26, 2020 at 5:18 pm #186308While Sonic Team did not make a full Sonic game for the Saturn, NiGHTS into Dreams… was a, well, dream delight to play. One of the best games to be made for the system and a cult classic among the Sonic/SEGA fandom.
Gate of Your Dream (Menu theme)
Message from Nightopia (Main theme)
Boss theme: vs. Jackle – Christ, this guy was unpredictable. To this day, he can either take five minutes or five hours to beat (the fact that he bursts into laughter every time he hits you doesn’t help).
Boss theme: vs. Reala – One of the best “dark version of the hero” battle themes. - This reply was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by
