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''.

Well, I didn't think there was anything at first, until it reached a certain point... and then I froze, my eyes widening in amazement, and then laughed and began to sing along: "Toot toot Sonic warrior, toot toot Sonic warrior..." It's "Sonic - You Can Do Anything" from the Japan/Europe version of Sonic CD!!! Even better is that ''Sonic CD'' was made way after the Master System version of ''Sonic 2'', so for ''Sonic CD'' they took a tune from a (probably) lesser-known ''Sonic'' game and turned it into a song. THAT is awesome.
