A Hat in Time OST [Seal the Deal] - Death Wish - Pascal Michael Stiefel


Never managed to beat this game mode, but damn was this track a banger.

[The Jonster]

Oh yeah, another good one!

Sonic (the Hedgehog 3) & Knuckles - Death Egg Zone Act 1

That’s good!

Also I notice that the remix for Sandopolis Zone 2 was shared here by you. Personally I prefer the first zone but that’s just me.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Sandopolis Zone 1

Also I notice that the remix for Sandopolis Zone 2 was shared here by you. Personally I prefer the first zone but that’s just me.

I prefer Act 1 as well; isn't Boo's House a remix of both acts' melody?
Anyhow, here's one of the many remixes that Sonic Mania knocked out of the park!

Sonic Mania - Lava Reef Zone Act 1

[Master]

The Homebrew Channel - drmr


I wish modern homebrew efforts had this level of personality, needless to say this was a very satisfying and gratifying thing to see on your Wii.

Sonic Mania - Lava Reef Zone Act 1

Well Boo’s House automatically made me think of Zone 2 because the ghosts only show up there but yea pretty much. Both Lava Reef tracks are good too, but I prefer 2’s again.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Lava Reef Zone 2 & Hidden Palace Zone

[RayGamer99]

Both Lava Reef tracks are good too, but I prefer 2’s again.

That's fair, both tracks are really good, like you said.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles - Act 2 Boss

[Pirez]

I'm on a Dark Cloud kick at the moment (very underrated game), so after the regular sountrack, I came across a SNES-remade one

Dark Cloud - Full Soundtrack SNES Remastered

[RayGamer99]

Sonic Mania - Ruby Illusions (Final Boss)

If you listen closely, you can hear a bit of Big Arms in there...

[Pirez]

Georges Moustaki - Chanson pour Elle

[WPTheModder]

Mean Ol' Moon - Norah Jones


Her voice is so nice. She also did a stellar job on "Everybody Needs a Best Friend"

[Giant Chicken]

Waluigi's Taco Stand - El Bean and the Three Caballeros


I could really go for a burrito right now...

[The Jonster]

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Launch Base Zone 2 prototype

[RayGamer99]

Not too bad, but I prefer Act 1 myself.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (& Knuckles) - Launch Base Zone Act 1 (Origins/Prototype)

[Mortamon Saturn]

Tolkuton - Dr. Neo Cortex [Ultimate EPIC METAL Remix]



Still one of my favourite video game remixes of all time!

[The Jonster]

Not too bad, but I prefer Act 1 myself.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (& Knuckles) - Launch Base Zone Act 1 (Origins/Prototype)

Fair enough, they're both good imo. These tracks were the only decent ones out of the ones that had to be replaced. I really don't like the IceCap theme's change of tone. Speaking of which...

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - IceCap Zone 2

[RayGamer99]

Not too bad, but I prefer Act 1 myself.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (& Knuckles) - Launch Base Zone Act 1 (Origins/Prototype)

Fair enough, they're both good imo. These tracks were the only decent ones out of the ones that had to be replaced. I really don't like the IceCap theme's change of tone.

To be honest, Carnival Night and IceCap's 2nd act prototype themes have grown on me, and I honestly think they're pretty good. Not as replacements for the originals, of course, but as their own thing.

Speaking of which...

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - IceCap Zone 2

Again, I personally prefer the Act 1 version.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (& Knuckles) - IceCap Zone Act 1

Fun fact: This song is inspired by the song "Hard Times" by The Jetzons. If you listen to it, the main chorus sounds almost identical to IceCap Zone's own "main chorus!" Now isn't that neat?

[Greengoop]

System Of A Down- Chop Suey!

Code: Select all

Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little make-up
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up (hide the scars to fade away the-)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable, you wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little make-up, you wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up, you wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? You wanted to
I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
Wake up (wake up)

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me?

Trust in my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die

[The Jonster]

A tune I've heard about but never listened to!

Not too bad, but I prefer Act 1 myself.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (& Knuckles) - Launch Base Zone Act 1 (Origins/Prototype)

Fair enough, they're both good imo. These tracks were the only decent ones out of the ones that had to be replaced. I really don't like the IceCap theme's change of tone.

Fun fact: This song is inspired by the song "Hard Times" by The Jetzons. If you listen to it, the main chorus sounds almost identical to IceCap Zone's own "main chorus!" Now isn't that neat?

That's how I feel about the replacements, they're good on their own, but in the case of Carnival Night and IceCap, not as great as replacements for the tunes they replaced. Launch Base had nice replacements even though I still prefer the originals.

And yes, I also prefer IceCap Zone Act 1. I actually posted that song further back in this thread (i probably will repost it at some point even after this above one ). It never made sense why the tunes in this zone was cut, since they had no musical connection to Michael Jackson at all.

Here's another fun fact: The Jetzons’ keyboardist Brad Buxer became the musical director for Michael Jackson.

I'm on a Sonic 3 & Knuckles spree still, so, here a track from the first zone!

Angel Island Zone Act 2 - Sonic 3 and Knuckles

[Master]

I think both Brad Buxer and Michael Jackson were working together when it came to Sonic 3's soundtrack, and that's why even though even though Ice Cap didn't apparently have Michael Jackson's involvement, it was still Brad Buxer and hence why it too was subject to the rights shenanigans. I know he also did the credits for Sonic 3, which I don't think showed up in future versions of the game either, but I'm not 100% on that one.

I. M. Meen, Intro. No idea who did this.



Got reminded of this when I was looking at some old Deltarune footage, there's a reference by Roulx Kaard to one of I. M. Meen's lines, which led me back down to this old rabbit hole of ancient YTP source material.

My best guess towards Michael Jackson's connection to the song is those small vocals that can be heard in Act 1; other than that, I don't know how it has anything to do with him.

Edit: Master's above response seems to explain this connection better!

Here's another fun fact: The keyboardist Brad Buxer became the musical director for Michael Jackson.

Fascinating!

I'm on a Sonic 3 & Knuckles spree still, so, here a track from the first zone!

Angel Island Zone Act 2 - Sonic 3 and Knuckles

As my favorite game from the Genesis Era of Sonic games (there, I said it), I am perfectly fine to keep going with Sonic 3 & Knuckles music. On that note, here's a cover of a song from that game by one of my favorite YouTube artists!

GaMetal - Flying Battery Zone (from Sonic (the Hedgehog 3) & Knuckles)


(Another fun fact: Before Sonic 3 got split into two games, Flying Battery Zone was originally supposed to go in between Carnival Night and IceCap! The cannon at the end of Carnival Night Zone Act 2 would have likely blasted Sonic and Tails onto the airship, and the escape hatch at the end of Flying Battery Zone Act 2 was originally supposed to be the snowboard in IceCap Zone Act 1! Cool, right? )
