The Official Sonic the Hedgehog thread

bah…we have some of those in our store but none of them are open…oh well.

he’s talking about in reference to the japanese trailers getting the actual crush 40 ‘Knight on the Wind’ song and the one they release over here in america is an orchestrated version of it.

If it’s one thing I wish they would completely revisit it’s what they did in terms of 3k’s soundtrack with each zone having a main theme but both acts having a derivation of the theme. Unleashed came really close to doing that between the day and night stages but not quite. They’ve been dabbling in trying to do that here and there in a few games…notably the rush series between Sonic and Blaze’s tracks for the stages in the first one and acts for Rush Adventure.

yyyyyup…well aware of it…that’s why I’m optimistic but i’m going to remain cautious about it until there’s more information on it. Unleashed wasn’t completely horrible but opinions are going to differ all over the place but it’s definitely obvious that they’ve been moving in the proper directions since Secret Rings. Eventually they’re going to get it right looking at the directions they’ve been going…I’m just in anticipation for when that game is.

Sonic X comic is eh IMO that’s about to change though since they’re basically turning the X comic into a whole seperate dimension entirely when it changes into Sonic Universe. The last issue of X had some events that brought both comics closer together and made them more parallel. I gotta go to the comic store and see of the latest issue came out along with Chun-Li legends.

So anyway we had already did some sort of tier list for the games…how about music? If you guys could pick 10 tracks from the series what would they be? I’m curious for what your answers are.

I dunno… It’s good to be optimistic, but my faith in the Sonic game series has been dead for a long, long time. To be honest, I want the series die, bring it to back behind the house and put it down like Old Yeller.

IDK problem is you have games like Sonic Rush on the DS that bring back that oldschool Sonic fun.

oh no doubt I don’t blame anyone who’s lost their faith…Sega’s fucked up a lot and it’s easy to tell that they’ve lost a lot of people who were fans of the series. Just read the comments on the videos for Black Knight and Unleashed. But if Sega did make a good game then they could easily rake in a lot of people back who strayed away from the games.

What can I say? I’m a big fan of the series without being a complete nutcase and blind to any wrong doings that it has.

You mean like Remy Saotome? (just teasing)

If there is one nice thing that I can say, well two nice things that I can say, about Sonic Team and their Sonic games is that the graphics and art design are always great. I’ve never been disappointed by a level ever.

My 10 fav songs in the Sonic series? Hmmm hard to pick just 10 but I’ll do that.

In particular order.

  1. Spring Yard Zone, Sonic 1
  2. Aquatic Ruins Zone, Sonic 2
  3. Misty Ruins, Sonic Adventure
  4. Ice Cap Zone Act 1, Sonic 3 & Knuckles
  5. Robotnik Winter, Sonic Triple Trouble
  6. Stardust Speedway (Prescent), Sonic CD USA
  7. Chemical Plant, Sonic 2
  8. Hidden Palace, Sonic 2
  9. Hydro City Act 2, Sonic 3
  10. Tidal Tempest (Bad Future), Sonic CD USA

I’m actually putting together a big compilation album of my fav Sonic music. I can put the download links here when it’s finish if anyone is interested.

ReggieHadoken: I am interested. Don’t forget Spring Yard Zone and the Robotnik mecha theme from the end of Sonic 2.

Hmmm… Just ten…

  1. Hydrocity Zone, Act 2
  2. Aquatic Ruins Zone
  3. Chemical Plant Zone
  4. Flying Battery Zone (both Acts)
  5. Final Fortress
  6. Endless Possibilities (orchestral version)
  7. Azure Blue World / Windy & Ripply
  8. What U Need (Sonic Mix)
  9. Hidden Palace Zone
  10. Cosmic Wall

:sad:

I freely admit that Shadow and 2006 are atrocious games. And that even though I really enjoy Adventure 1 & 2 and Heroes, they are seriously glitchy and I can see why others wouldn’t like them.

glances around to make sure FC isn’t looking
… But Unleashed is a lot of fun.

Damn just 10 is tough…I dont remember any sonic CD tracks so I wont be including those. These are in no particular order but these are my favorites.

  1. Oil Ocean-Sonic 2
    2.Aquatic Mine- Sonic 2
  2. Chemical Plant-Sonic 2
  3. Ice Cap act 2 -Sonic 3
  4. Boss Music act 2- Sonic 3
  5. Carnival Night act 2-Sonic 3
    7.Scrap Brain-Sonic 1
    8.White Jungle (if only there was an instrumental)-Sonic Adventure 2
  6. Adabat- Jungle Joyride (day)-Sonic Unleashed
    10.Spring Yard-Sonic 1

This decision would be easier if I could pick my tops from each game that I remembered =/

If I told you I preferred the American Tales opening songs to their Japanese counterparts (for Destiny, Eternia, and Symphonia), would you want to drop kick me?

The cycle will not end.

I’m more of an old school fan, and haven’t played some of the newer games enough to memorize the music, so…

Honorable mentions:
-Apoptos Windmill Isle - Night (Unleashed)
-Casino Park (Sonic Heroes)
-Gloom of the NHC- Mystic Forest (Nights Into Drea- oops, how’d that sneak in here?)

Top 10 Sonic Songs
10. Green Grove- Act 2 (Sonic 3D Blast Genesis)
9. Grand Metropolis (Sonic Heroes)
8. Flying Battery Zone- Act 2 (S&K)
7. Palmtree Panic Past (Sonic CD America)
6. Tidal Tempest Good Future (Sonic CD Japanese)
5. Quartz Quadrant Past (Sonic CD America)
4. Mushroom Hill Zone- Act 1 (S&K)
3. Green Hill Zone
2. Sky Chase Zone

  1. Star light Zone

I’m also curious which mixes people prefer in those games with two mixes of the same song like Sonic 3, Knuckles, and 3D Blast.

Sonic 3
Angel Island 1 -
Hydrocity 2 - (for the longest time, I couldn’t tell this was a remix of Act 1 they sound so different)
Marble 2 - ([media=youtube]xTS3KXSvCpo"[/media])
Carnival 1
Ice 2 (more dynamic)
Launch Base 1 (like the ending better than 2)

Knuckles
Mushroom 1 (love the opening)
Battery 2
Sandopolis 1
Lava 2 (barely a remix IMO)
Death Egg 2

3D Blast Genesis
Green Grove 2
Rusty 2
Spring 2 (the opening is cool)
Diamond 2
Volcanic 2
Gene 2

3D Blast has some serious music. Too bad the game itself isn’t fun at all.

that’s fine…but I’m wondering what you’re comparing this game too right now to say that judgement especially currently. Or are you just going with the ‘sonic disappointment loop’?

first I’ll put up my 10 list…and i’ll get to that in a seperate post later

  1. Sky Battery zone act 2 (3k)
  2. Wrapped In Black (Sonic Rush)
  3. Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic 2…main ringtone on my phone)
  4. Live and Learn…[media=youtube]aYyiI1o6n_o&feature=channel_page"]instrumental or [URL=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E5P0LAz90I”[/media](SA2)
  5. Hydrocity Zone act 2 (3k)
  6. [media=youtube]TzorhmaOstI"[/media] (SA)
  7. [media=youtube]xNp1wRTkgqE"[/media] (2006)
  8. Marble Zone (Sonic 1)
  9. Casino Night Zone (Sonic 2)
  10. [media=youtube]4aqlRcGBUSg"[/media] (Unleashed)

^God damn, I never really payed attention to the music in adventure 1. But red hot skull is SIIIIICK

Btw do you have a instrumental for white jungle?

Yeah…but, I forgive the boring-ness because it has a full motion video intro on a Genesis cart. That was madness…

2 zones on the subject of Sonic 3D music: [media=youtube]Le9dTWyXc1E&feature=related"]Rusty Ruin Act 2 and [URL=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKRkOFlIdsQ&feature=related”[/media]

lol at Juice comin with dat serious truth. Its crazy tho, mostly everyone who frequents this thread actually thought Unleashed was above average/decent. Its not the best for sure, but to be cheezy and repeat what everyone and they momma said…

Its a step in the right direction.

I downloaded the Sonic 3D Blast music from Shadow’s site a few weeks ago. Stuff is seriously dope. I wasn’t aware that the Saturn version’s music was different from the Genny version.

Also, screw the haters. I dig Sonic R’s music.

I like the instrumental tracks a lot. The vocalized versions though… not so much.

Yes. Richard Jacques is the ****.

I too felt this way but her voice grew on me.

Can you feel the sunshine?
Does it brighten up your day?
