* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDxaDGLrkXA Fishing]. Even if you hated Big's [[Scrappy Mechanic|story]] [[Unexpected Gameplay Change|mode]], there's no denying how awesome this theme is.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DizopdPMBw Tails's Theme].
* Want some [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr6UUhHTHoM Lazy Days]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CPgYAFWfEg Sweet Passion].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Md4cr1Jig Be Cool, Be Wild, And Be Groovy remixed for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing DS.]
Line 209:
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t2SPlj83LE His World] orchestrated for the final boss.
*** And let's not forget [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yurEjiJYsXk the E3 version].
*** Not to mention the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK-a9VFx6bo Summer of Sonic remix] by [[Richard Jacques]] and [[Lee Brotherton]]
** Speaking of Solaris, his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUHWPF8mvUY first boss theme] ''must'' be mentioned here.
*** And let's not forget his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eitqtMjr9ys&hd=1 second boss theme] as well.
Line 307:
* The boss music for both Tropical Resort and Planet Wisp ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFTOpc3zZCc Vs. Rotatatron/Refreshinator]), as well as for Starlight Carnival and Asteroid Coaster ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKc_RJizpk Vs. Orcan/Skullian]).
** Sweet Mountain/Aquarium Park ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS2oIOnNON4 Vs. Captain Jelly/Admiral Jelly])
* From the DS version's exclusive Super Sonic final boss there is the {{spoiler|Nega Mother Wisp's}} music which is another instrumental version of "Reach for the stars" only this time it plays like old school style game music but that doesn't stop it from being awesome.
* Continuing the trend of awesome final boss themes, [http://youtu.be/QovDgfjB6Ek phase 1], sounding doomier than ever, and [http://youtu.be/NcCrHZAKfPI phase 2], once again an orchestrated version of the main theme, and sounding more victorious than ever.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq8Rk6lN_28 Game Land 3], a remix of Starlight Carnival Act 1's music using the Game Gear's chiptune sounds. It definitely sounds like something straight out of that era, and it's beautiful. Not that the other Game Land songs aren't great either.
Line 318:
* To start with, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV6leJ_mq0s Hub World Music.] ALL of it, especially the way the music transitions based on what stage/rival/boss you're near. For best results, try spindashing or boosting back and forth through the hub world at least once. It'll blow your mind
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Green Hill Zone]] was awesome when it was first composed, and it's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao_GCTzOyqs Classic] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2A2vE-BoBs Modern] versions are just as awesome.
* [[Sonic Adventure 2|City Escape]]'s remixes are 2 very different takes on the original track:
** The Classic version is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XahpFY5uUWs catchy synth-pop affair] (courtesy of [[Pop Star Composer|Alex Makhlouf]] of Cash Cash) using Tony Harnell's vocals from the original song. A degree of auto-tune is also used to work in a [http://youtu.be/5SKcTZNeRnQ small melodic reference to the Endless Mine 2-player stage from ''Sonic 3''.]
** The Modern version sees Tony Harnell and Ted Poley returning to provide [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIg6lKzrnZg a new recording of the original track, complete with new vocals and very different instrumentation]. The resulting track sounds notably faster-paced than the original and more fitting with the Modern gameplay, whilst also managing to work in a solo using the melody of ''It Doesn't Matter'' from ''Sonic Adventure 2''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWMxoqlKX30&hd=1 The Big Arm boss music] from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game may be Cash Cash's (and Jun Senoue's) finest BGM work ever.
* Some surprises, including the use of a remix of Heroes main menu theme for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rkJhOCKz7U Generations options music].
* [[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|Mushroom Hill]]'s music for the 3DS has been released. And it is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICAEtRBpqTg awesome]. Very very faithful to the original.
Line 342:
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFcOeT1sSAM Mission music, a beautiful remix of the Sonic 3D Blast Saturn title theme].
* Balloon Park from the two player mode of ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|Sonic the Hedgehog 3]]'' gets remixed twice for the mission mode: first, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymQmxvebZ0Y with the Quick Race song] from ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', second, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-tvHQ7PUZU a more straightforward adaptation].
* Despite being infamously inferior to its home console counterpart for various reasons, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game has [[Your Mileage May Vary|(among equally notable redeeming qualities)]] its fair share of awesome music, and therefore it can't go unmentioned on this page.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAEEeoB475Y Modern Casino Night] gives the song an upbeat, jazzy feel to it. [[Memetic Mutation|Truly Casino Night as you imagined it.]]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRiTsl78_Gg Modern Mushroom Hill.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQQNnyxpilA Classic Emerald Coast], now performed with actual guitars instead of electric sitars, and guaranteed to bring a nostalgic tear to your eye as the song brings back memories of 1999.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-qDaV-IDEI Modern Emerald Coast.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVUgBgRXxcU Classic Radical Highway] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQUrl_ZTfOQ (Modern doesn't quite count).]
Line 375:
** Don't forget the outstanding Game Gear version of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tgz-a_fArk Boss Theme] became [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2w2v_kgzWo THIS]
** The ''Sonic 2''s and ''Sonic CD'' were actually all in development at the same time (''Sonic CD'' was originally meant to be the SEGA CD version of ''Sonic 2''), so it's not surprising that there'd be some links like that.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaQqkypEbuY BEHOLD!] The two wed in glorious union!
** And it was given an awesome remix as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XrSmHKpZIU Mecha Green Hill Zone] in ''[[Sonic Chaos]]''!
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YjC5ZqTtGM Underground Zone] from the Game Gear version (from the first stage of the game, at that) is a great track that really exemplifies the speed of the series.
Line 400:
== Knuckles' Chaotix ==
* The music in ''[[Knuckles Chaotix]]'' makes the game worth playing-- case in point: the intro level theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGt5jBmjLgA Door Into Summer].
* [[
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br99gCgw3yE Combination]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_s-a-uxJxw Midnight Greenhouse], the theme for Botanic Base.
Line 514:
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ-EHRLnW74 Chaos] battle theme.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqizduQ2SfE Emerald Town]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUcPydVABIk Green Hill Zone] [[Nostalgia Level|strikes again!]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz4n25yb1IY Amy's Room.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFbgR0HCn2c The Library/Cream's battle theme.]
Line 535:
* Don't forget [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBOmL9rRWRA Death Ruins] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rdrohEWc10 Mad Matrix].
* Don't forget [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_76uz-JZDw Almost Dead] by none other than Powerman5000!
* You have to include the LOST TRACKS too! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noBucnkjd6k&feature=related Broken] by [[Sins Of A Divine Mother]] was to be used, but since they couldn't find one of the members to get permission, two of the others formed A2 and did Chosen One. Magna-Fi also had another song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pd0AlzUA9A&feature=related Who I Am].
* Not to mention m-flo's remix of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIrnGqs7fJQ&playnext=1&list=PL2EDC23AEACBCC057&index=40 Tripod Baby] to promote the game.
* What about the song that plays during the battles against [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhrAcW-fb-k Black Doom]?
Line 562:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm2sby-yyik Waterbike]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqfr_ZOhWjY Haunted Ship]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgVcPgv1-fg Blizzard Peaks].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJgkO0R7fDs Deep Core].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrhf_zgtmAg Buster Poindexter] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2U3_2E_MIA LIVES ON!]
Line 605:
* ''Sonic and the Secret Rings'''s Arabian-themed music was off the hook, especially the main theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQj8rRSbQ40 Seven Rings In Hand].
* Then there's the Sand Oasis theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sslloq7mtMM Let The Speed Mend It]-- awesome from start to finish.
* Evil Foundry's [[
** The boss theme for the Ifrit Golem, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT-y-CsYdPs How It Started].
* The music for Levitated Ruin, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7EYSmTYNyU High and Broken]. Easily the best track in the game.
Line 659:
* From ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]'' comes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq6Vl_UJhkI Super Ix]. [[Wasted Song|Unfortunately...]]
** At least there's the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzGYztkYB70&feature=related mid-boss version.]
* The entire soundtrack was a wasted due to the terrible sound compression. The remixes from both the US and Japan [[Sonic CD]] soundtracks, as well as both the Genesis and Saturn versions of [[Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island]], and Doomsday from [[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|Sonic the Hedgehog 3]] would've been good.
Line 675:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVoNbRHjN9k This] Classic remix of [[Sonic Heroes|Bullet Station.]]
* [http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/347013 Suicide From Above], a remix of Flying Battery Sone found on the Newgrounds audio portal.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo4lu34F2lg Charles] [[Precision F-Strike|Fucking ]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRjHSXRNIRc Hamilton] and [[Wiz Khalifa]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiwD_78Vu2c before he became famous].
* Spring Yard Zone: of course, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrquDa4jhaE&playnext_from=TL&videos=msyqefQvh2o a remix was inevitable.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrBs-Og5T4I Hip-hop remix]. Now if you'll excuse me, it's sunset, and I have this urge to put the top down and just cruise down the street...
Line 714:
** Speaking of, what happens when you mash up the themes for Deep Core and the Egg Dragoon? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTIygZhVZ6U THIS.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKYBO5M5vb8 Icecap Zone + Smooth Criminal] = orgasmic bliss for your ears.
* Not to mention [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxLUO3LMK2I&feature=related The World Adventure merged with Sonic the Hedgehog's Master System ending]!
** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41FFLwW0vRs MIDI] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQOtOvuscGU 8-bit] remixes.
* Obligatory fan remixes of "How it Started": [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE-N8p9X3Ms 8-bit], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D863zepSbPU MIDI].
Line 725:
** Nah...here's a Super Nintendo soundfont remix of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO1eouBChkk Splash Hill]!
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2YsSH-VzI0 Oh God.] [[Better Than It Sounds|This mash-up of Rusty Bucket Bay and Ice Cap.]]
** How about a mash-up of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHtFAeWlB0E Dreams of an Absolution with Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You"]?
* Not only did their hit song "Sweet, Sweet, Sweet" get turned into the ending for Sonic 2 for the Genesis, [[Dreams Come True]] later took songs that Nakamura composed for the first two games, and turned them into hit songs!
** Green Hill Zone became [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm4CXfhqBI8 Marry Me?]
** Star Light Zone became [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6f5cdMzVU4 Million Kisses]
Line 743:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrH5jA_EiSo Wizards of the Sonic] by Westbam, a German techno DJ, samples the boss music from Sonic 2 (see above).
* [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBD9C9C27749A9BC6 This guy] has made some fantastic mashups of [[Sonic Colors|Wisp power-up musics]] and level musics. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9Zg0CNQ1A8 Cubed Asteroid Coaster] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cn-Zy-IWR8 Hovering Planet Wisp] in particular sound heavenly.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeVHXwIx6wA This] remix of Doomsday Zone that mashes it up with [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|This Day Aria]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z2ICxC9Mz4 This one] tells us how [[Sonic Advance 3|Sunset Hill Zone]] would sound like in [[Sonic Generations]].
Line 779:
** The Dub's opening isn't half bad either, I give you [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk6AobT_SDo Gotta Go Fast]
** The Japanese ending is sad enough ''without'' lyrics or context. When you remember what events [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN-gPo7g6vs&feature=related "Hikaru Michi"] underscored, it becomes an automatic [[Tear Jerker]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l72OGSTZDyY Sonic Underground's] theme.
