{{quote|''It's no secret. Compared to the [[Super Nintendo]], the Genesis wasn't exactly a killer in the sound department. It was fueled in part by what soundtracks really caught your ear, but for a real classic, you didn't have to look any farther than [[Sonic the Hedgehog|the Sega mascot]].''|'''[[Screw AttackScrewAttack]]'s''' [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41663.html Top 10 Video Game Themes Ever]}}
 
Everyone's favorite [[Sonic the Hedgehog|hedgehog speedster]] has had quite a number of [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|notable themes]] over the years which cements that although the ride has been rocky with plenty of ups and downs, there's one thing that everyone ''can'' agree on, the music is almost always ''awesome''.
Line 200:
 
=== Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) ===
* One of the redeemable qualities of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic '06]] was its phenomenal soundtrack, which ironically was done mostly by Mariko Nanba ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPflHWn9HN0 Aquatic Base Level 1], an ambient ''IDM'' song and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awJTBGiM28s White Acropolis Snowy Peak], her doing techno), Tomoya Ohtani (Crisis City ~[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSkMNhc04SI The Flame] ~ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOjBELxCP1U Skyscraper] ~ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pUHW-jXPeE Whirlwind] ~ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYjAebpGWY0 Tornado]~, a progressive d'nb song, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_HNK3nfu_c End Of The World], one of the most beautiful tracks in the game) , and Hideaki Kobayashi (Almost all of the event and boss music; most notable would be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al8eGK3bJ4M Mephiles] & [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31RA7esx2RA Mephiles Phase 2], both of which are reminiscent of his PSO works).
** While we're at it, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVUJOLGL0Xs&feature=related His World]. Sure, the game it's from sucked, but the song itself? Awesome in a can.
*** This troper liked the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VHnFwVskl0 Zebrahead version] better.
Line 248:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN9rfmqNe28 Arid Sands (Night)].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35OvZlP1_6c Skyscraper Scamper (Night)] is incredibly jazzy.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICYUBPgybMA Eggmanland (Night)] is an alright song, but the guitar is just ''badass''. And in the Xbox360 / [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] version, it's not even interrupted by the battle theme.
** Really? No love for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL1n-JIf80o Windmill Isle (Night)]? It sounds so relaxing...
* Even hub music is often catchy! That's saying something.
Line 316:
* [[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.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHLK_vWErCQ The ending medley] is a whirlwind multi-stop tour of Sonic's musical history.
* Classic Remix of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Crisis City]] is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMTFE2jvf3M made of awesome.]
** Modern's Remix is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Aqj-TFCJ0 very beautiful].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctlbdemElts It is impossible to NOT be cheered up] by the Classic Remix of [[Sonic Unleashed|Rooftop Run]].
Line 322:
* No matter if you're on the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II_x-zUMJOs Japanese] or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY3j1KDLS3o US] side, [[Sonic the Hedgehog CD|Stardust Speedway]]'s themes are pure awesome.
* How about the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7ZtqdIPfRQ& Death Egg Robot] boss fight, which has three stages of increasingly frantic awesomeness? First stage is all brass, the second phase adds more rock, and the final phase adds a psychotic drumbeat.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U4KJL5Prdg& Shadow's boss fight theme]. Shadow's fight actually switches between multiple CMOA. If Sonic and Shadow are neutral in the boss fight, [[Sonic Adventure 2|"For True Story"]] plays. If you're winning the boss fight, "Live and Learn" will play. If Shadow's winning, [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||"All Hail Shadow"]] plays instead.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVwkfkOVfOA& Silver's boss battle theme], which is the theme used in ''Sonic '06'' whenever you fight him, Shadow or Sonic in the three storylines. Now it's given a darker more badass revamp to fit the stage.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l1jkmPF9-c The Modern Remix of the Time Eater battle.] [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] at its finest.
Line 732:
* How in the hell did [[My Chemical Romance]] end up on here before [[Michael Jackson]]?!
* Cash Cash should at least be mentioned for their theme for Colors, as well as their work remixing stuff for Generations. Their auto-tuney power-pop sound fits in the series quite nicely.
* Zebrahead provided two versions of "[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||His World]]".
