Has anyone else ever wondered if Sky Chase from Sonic 2 should have lyrics? I swear up and down this is a REAL song It quite possibly is, though it's likely to be one by Dreams Come True. This video's got a selection of DCT and Sonic comparisons. Some of them are quite obviously intentional (Star Light Zone and Sonic 2's ending have been known for years, the latter being completely obvious), though some seem like stretches. There are probably some others in their songs.

Hmm, I should ask around about that then... I've known about that similarity for years and just shrugged it off until I was sifting through an old playlist of mine full of Sonic music, so I can assume the song's pretty old.
Speaking of Sonic 2's ending music. >.> Didn't they 'modify' it at the end of his story in Sonic '06? Nasty bit of butchery if you ask me but since I don't know any Japanese I have no idea if the lyrics were just translated to English or if they just screwed the original artist altogether.

Sorry to double-post but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find Sonic 2's boss music in sheet music? I'm asking for someone else, he's driving himself nuts trying to find that and my usual places don't appear to have it either...

Sorry Aria, I don't know. You could try asking around Youtube. Some people there have videos of them playing the music and have links to where they got the sheets.
As for my fave Sonic tracks, my list is way too long. I'll shorten it though. In no particular order, these tracks make my top ten:
-Escape From the City (SA2) -Rooftop Run (day) (Unleashed) -It Doesn't Matter (SA1 & SA2) -Sonic Heroes (Heroes) -Endless Possibility (Unleashed) -We Can (Heroes) -Dreams of an Absolution (LB vs. JS remix) ('06) -Wave Ocean ~The Water's Edge~ ('06) -Cool Edge (day) (Unleashed) -So Much More (Sega Racing)
Say what you like about my list, I know there's no chiptunes.

Its catchy and annoying. I suspect that Crush 40 did it and then gave it to the person singing it because they lyrics make no sense.
Like His World I like the basic tune, so I suspect I will love an instrumental version.

about new songs, what do you guys think of the new "cathcy and anniong" theam song "reach for the stars" I don't think it's annoying. It is quite catchy though. In fact, I love it. It's one of my favorite songs and I can't wait to hear the full version. I even have two lines from it in my signature. Why do you think it's annoying?

actually "catchy and annoing" were the two adjectives that the "nintendo power magazine" uses to describe it.....and they are both used positivetly....in my opinion it's nonesense, catchy and cute

Do you know what I'm really loving about the music for 3D Sonic games right now? I'm liking how the final boss theme becomes a more epic, minor key rendition of the game's theme song. As for Reach for the stars? It suits the game; it's fast, it's lyrics are upbeat - it's fun, and that's the most important thing!
I have a real soft spot for the stuff by crush 40, though, so it's good to hear that they'll be back for a game next year.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bv4CJ80LXQ yup! ;D This is the song of the year! Though don't you think it would have sounded better at 4:01, instead to make it start all over again?? . Real nice song, but the same can't be said for "free" of Free riders.....

All of these such songs would be better if the lyrics were replaced with synths or strings or synth strings. Or someone blowing raspberries for five minutes; much less cringeworthy.

TIME FOR SOME MUSIC. I'm a total [censored] and like Reach for the Stars. And Free. Just btw.Pimping this 8-Bit album, some dude has recreated the music of Sonic 3 & Knuckles in Famitracker. I like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=taYswNtsX7EDownload link's in the video

Mark, that is an awesome find. One of the better tunes, in my opinion, of Sonic Chronicles (the battle themes and brilliant yet fleeting "indoor field" interludes were the only decent bits of music in the game I reckon), which features some big synth and rock movements to begin with, adding drama to the situation. Quite a generic mini-boss type theme to begin with, until they abruptly fade out the long organ chord and descend the track into a nightmarish rolling percussion solo, building a feeling of tension and seriousness. Speaking of which, here's a little something extra to brighten your day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UgKvtPL0OQ

Though don't you think it would have sounded better at 4:01, instead to make it start all over again?? Yes, because that's where the actual song ends. For some reason that user added the beginning to the end. No clue why. And what's wrong with Free? I quite like that song.

Apologies for the bump, but by sheer chance I've just discovered this gem from 1992, which apparently made it to no. 33 in the UK singles chart. Aye!

Most of the new music with vocals is the kind of cringeworthy stuff that you don't want to be caught listening to except by other Sonic fans (hardcore game Sonic fans). They can be catchy but they just sound kinda weak. That said I think the non-vocal stuff has been more positive with Sonic Colours being really impressive.
Some of my fav Sonic music includes:
- Oil Ocean Zone (Sonic 2) - Flying Battery Act 1 (Sonic and Knuckles) - Boss Battle 2 (Megadrive Sonic 3D) - Stardust Speedway Present (Sonic CD Jap) - Azure Blue World (Sonic Adventure) - For True Story (Sonic Adventure 2) -Wrapped in Black (Sonic Rush) - Aquarium Park Act 1 (Sonic Colours)
Any vocal stuff here is small time stuff, like Stardust Speedway and Wrapped in Black where the music has more power than the vocals IMO.

At first I thought the song was a bit too odd for my tastes but the mixing in and recreation of the Green Hill Music into a brand new song works better than it should.

Sorry to add to such an old thread, but I couldn't find the music thread I was looking for (I'm sure there was one somewhere talking about adapations of Sonic music). Anyway, I thought I'd share this, as I thought it was fun
