Even if the instrumentation isn’t quite to my liking, all of the melodies are so infectious that I can’t help but headbang regardless. They cooked with this OST
6:26 Glad to see that someone still remembers that the Trumpet is always and will always be the Icing on the cake when it comes to Sonic Music because honestly, Trumpets, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Bass, Harp, Guitars, Electric Guitars, Electric Bass, Saxaphones, Percussion, and Pianos always come through (yeah, I'm kind of an Instrument nerd :P)
oh do you know jun composed cyber station lol, people pretend that the music was unintentional, but jun was the sound director and has a very big role at segas sound team, meaning that he deliberately had the music sound the way it came out to be
Ok but out of all the great instruments,why does he use a genesis soundfont or whatever the hell he uses in those classic titles?He could have chosen the best instruments yet he wants to stick out with the worst one(props to him to atleast trying his best to create a banger)
I gotta give you massive props not only being one of the few people to take this format, do the WHOLE soundtrack, and give your thoughts on each song. Great stuff!
The song is fire I just wish they used that song but the song from the trailer version like the trio of trouble version that one was actually really good
Golden Capital 2 is actually phenomenal. This OST has the case of there really isn’t a song I “dislike” (besides the menu theme and some of the battle songs) but the mid stuff is just outshined by the good stuff. So many better songs than GC Act 2, but it’s still great
The only true Sonic Enthusiasts enjoy the content we get from SEGA and Sonic Team. We dont shit on any of the games and we enjoy them for what they are :)
nah it just need to be slowed down just a bit i saw a remake of it that slowed the original composition just a bit and fixed the pacing while using better instruments press factory is fine act 2 is evne better the instuments are just really bad @@huskyhsd1416
You know, I like to interpret the second part of Fang’s boss theme (y’know, the part that references Fang’s main motif) as Jun accidentally sending his synthesiser falling down a decently long flight of stairs.
What I want to know is why Jun tried to go the route of emulating the Genesis music, because Tee Lopes clearly didn't go that route for the tracks he composed, so why Jun did it I would love to know
People didn’t like press factory? Why? It’s a good level, with good music, awesome level design, and has the most creative gimmick in a Classic Sonic game. Two, actually.
The Sonic 4 music is actually really good (for both Sonic 4 and Sonic Superstars) but if you want abysmal sonic music than look no farther than Sonic Jam for the Game Com and Sonic Chronicles
@@aquaponieee 1. Just because I called the music really good doesn't mean it's one of the best Sonic music types 2. If you disagree with me then that's fine I'm not forcing you to like/love this music because everybody's got their own taste 3. I don't want anyone forming a war in the replies please
@@aquaponieee Also I feel like you're one of the last people to judge my taste of music considering all you ever post is a Sonic Heroes mod of Sonic Robo Blast 2 (I checked your UA-cam channel that only has 4 videos and 80 subscribers)
Jun’s Genesis Sympathizer when paired with a great song from Tee Lopes actually doesn’t sound bad. It’s just trying to use the Sympathizer on its own that it struggles hard. Change my Mind.
I used to think that Press Factory Zone had pretty mediocre music, but after listening to both Act 1 and 2 for extensive periods of time, i have come to the conclusion that they are very good.
I love how the finale boss theme Is Epic and serious when the true finale boss theme makes you wanna dance instead of destroying a purple dragon that spawned out of nowhere
Update: I've finally been able to play and beat sonic superstars and just as I suspected most people are getting mad at the game with the "difficulty" despite it being their skill issue, the levels weren't that difficult, although I do agree the later bosses are pretty hard although I enjoyed the game so, this game is an 8/10 for me really. Superstars is better than 1, 2, and CD although it's definitely not as good as Sonic 3&K and Mania. People need to calm down especially with the soundtrack (I am talking to you Aquaponieee) (Also, yes, Mugimikey called me out 😢) Update 2: Finally was able to beat Trip's Story and the True Final Boss, and wow my opinion changed, trips story is just too brutal for being hard mode although its not bad when you learn what comes your way, the real struggle is the bosses themselves, the final boss is a pain in the ass, anyways trips story made me realize that I'm being too generous 7/10 now overall in the game, as for the True final boss, it was a lot more easier really just grab those rings learn the patterns and you're good if you struggle on Trip's story, I don't blame you, if you struggle on the main story, thats a huge skill issue
@@SquallyCoin5664 even the YM2612? Actual Classic Sonic games tried to make the Genesis' YM2612 chip sound like actual instruments, but with Sonic 4, Forces' Classic Sonic music and most of Superstars, they just did the complete opposite. I feel like Jun completely missed the point of Classic Sonic music
the menue theme makes me so nostalgic for sonic 4, I remember playing that on my phone in daycare when I was like 8 years old. a genuinely terrible game but the music does take me back to simpler times when a bad sonic game was the worst of my worries.
You know what, I’m just gonna say it. I like Press Factory Zones OST. And I’m tired of pretending I don’t. And I think the Early Boss theme would have been better if it had a longer melody loop.
All of these opinions are objectively correct. Something I've noticed with Jun's music is that the compositions themselves are great, it's just that godawful faux-genesis synths. If you listen to versions with altered instruments, they sound immediately better. And with the ones that are already amazing like Press Factory, the change in instrumentation makes them perfect.
5:48 It's crazy that the Surfs Up footage that was used while mentioning Lagoon City Zone goes so well. And btw, Lagoon City Act Amy, along with Act 1 and Act 2 are my favorite tracks, next to Sand Sanctuary and Speed Jungle Act 1 and Act Sonic, because of the useage of Flutes that fit Amy's character
I mean there is some that actually like jun classic Sonic style I mean if they don't mind the sound front sfx and ear bleeding sounds More power to them and especially you I do think I find it okay But at some point I know jun has been slender from making bad classic Sonic music since Sonic 4
1:50 THE TIMING ON WHERE THE MONKEYS CLAPPED TOGETHER IS SO SMOOTH
Even if the instrumentation isn’t quite to my liking, all of the melodies are so infectious that I can’t help but headbang regardless. They cooked with this OST
Finally, someone who sees the soundtrack the way it’s meant to be
Right?!
6:26 Glad to see that someone still remembers that the Trumpet is always and will always be the Icing on the cake when it comes to Sonic Music because honestly, Trumpets, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Bass, Harp, Guitars, Electric Guitars, Electric Bass, Saxaphones, Percussion, and Pianos always come through (yeah, I'm kind of an Instrument nerd :P)
bro really did the Digital Circus fans dirty 💀
very nice vid man, opinions well respected

Btw bridge island 1 prototype is a proof to your point
7:14 THANK GOD, yeah this theme slaps for me, it’s literally my favorite in the game and i’d i be lying if i even said it was “ok”
Finally someone who enjoys Press Factory Act 2, it actually goes so hard and matches with the (kind of) threatening atmosphere.
literally most of the ost for Superstars is actually really good, only a few are Jun's wacky work
The fact that the monkey claps synched up with the song is sending me
press factory go crazy
15:14 someone *HAS* to make a GD level with this soundtrack. It sounds like it was literally made for this only purpose
1:50 - 1:57 WHY DOES THE CLAP FIT SO WELL
Finally, someone that agrees that Press Factory has banger songs and doesn't hate on it entirely for using Sonic 4 like instruments
Both acts of Press Factory are one of those songs that on your first listen you don’t like but slowly grow on you
I gotta give you massive props not only being one of the few people to take this format, do the WHOLE soundtrack, and give your thoughts on each song. Great stuff!
Finally, someone who appreciates Fang's boss theme
I mean, its really bad, it feels unfinished or not a final version of the theme
I like it just needs to be little bit more fleshed out and incorporate more of his original theme.
You ain’t the only one man, I love it
The song is fire I just wish they used that song but the song from the trailer version like the trio of trouble version that one was actually really good
@@jboyathegamer yeah I kinda wish it was longer but it’s perfectly fine
Golden Capital 2 is actually phenomenal.
This OST has the case of there really isn’t a song I “dislike” (besides the menu theme and some of the battle songs) but the mid stuff is just outshined by the good stuff. So many better songs than GC Act 2, but it’s still great
Forgot to put Pinball Carnival act 1 in my top 5 lol 💀
Pinball carnival is on my top list of best superstars songs
Finally someone who appreciates Sonic Superstars as much as i do
Sonic superstars soundtrack is underrated
The only true Sonic Enthusiasts enjoy the content we get from SEGA and Sonic Team. We dont shit on any of the games and we enjoy them for what they are :)
All the compositions are fine its the instruments that are shit
@@vvbvgeneraltsung2913Ehh not all. Press factory act 1 is a laughably bad composition.
Your comment is so true, that even both of your replies confirm it lol
nah it just need to be slowed down just a bit i saw a remake of it that slowed the original composition just a bit and fixed the pacing while using better instruments
press factory is fine act 2 is evne better the instuments are just really bad @@huskyhsd1416
ME FR
You know, I like to interpret the second part of Fang’s boss theme (y’know, the part that references Fang’s main motif) as Jun accidentally sending his synthesiser falling down a decently long flight of stairs.
i will never understand how sounding like hydro city can be a complaint
Ah yes an ACTUAL sonic fan
Well, i agree!
8:27 "You Sonic fans can go cry me a river"
FAX MY GUY
PRESS FACTORY ACT FRUIT GOES HARD
act 1 also hits
What I want to know is why Jun tried to go the route of emulating the Genesis music, because Tee Lopes clearly didn't go that route for the tracks he composed, so why Jun did it I would love to know
Finally, someone who enjoys the whole thing, i dont mind sonic 4 but a little two "ear grating" and i have never realted to a meme so much before.
I will say this: Sonic 4 E1 boss theme: why this bad... E2 boss theme: it is... acceptable
Finally someone can actually appreciate this soundtrack and not stay mad bc it’s not all tee lopes
Finally someone who doesn’t hate press factory
If you speed up Golden Capital Zone Act 2 to 2x speed, it's pretty surprising.
Finally someone who appreciates golden capital, fang boss, and press factory
People didn’t like press factory? Why? It’s a good level, with good music, awesome level design, and has the most creative gimmick in a Classic Sonic game. Two, actually.
brilliant gimmicks, although act 2 is somewhat like oil ocean act 2 from mania
Press Factory is my favorite level
That was great lol. This soundtrack is definitely a roller coaster
As someone who is a fan of sonic aswell as Mario, Sonic Superstars has some banger music
Me too bro
Thank god another press factory enjoyer i thought i was some insane maniac.
Finally a Golden Capital appreciator 😍😍
The speed jungle one had me dead 💀
If only Jun Senoue hadn’t used the genesis sounding synths
He used xpand2 as i know

uh huh yeah sure whatever hey have you tried to listen to mad gear act 1
@@ToadSparkster pretty good
@@silverreaps6803 and I do have a cold.
Why fans said some soundtrack with that sonic 4 synth is bad?
Because they had a PTSD😂
and also because it actually sounds bad
okay, now make an in depth explanation why
@@ToadSparkster well sonic 4 music aren't loud like origins (except the drum) but the instrument and notes are boring as hell.
+, it was one of bad games on the franchise.
Are saying white park and sky fotress are boring@@kmgt1618
I love Press Factory too :D
Yeah a lot of tracks are over hated :'(
Finally someone admits Press Factory act 1 is a bop.
Bro the crazy stuff with monkes and drummer monke needs a raise
The fact that you found several UA-camrs for the press factory part really shows how annoyed and determined you are with the fanbase
(Can’t blame you)
13:50 this song really reminds me of Sonic Generations' "Super Sonic Racing" Cash Cash Remix
Dont forget jun helped witg tgat track
0:53 Bridge Island Zone Act 2 Violins... need I say more? 😭
That’s a guitar
Best Sonic fan reaction to Sonic Superstars ost ever fr
Reject humanity, return to monk.
7:15 HELL YEAH
Thanks for acknowledging that Press Factory is a banger 🔥
Jun’s Genesis Sympathizer when paired with a great song from Tee Lopes actually doesn’t sound bad. It’s just trying to use the Sympathizer on its own that it struggles hard.
Change my Mind.
Can we all agree that Sand Sanctuary sounds like Shantae music?
glad im not the only one who likes press factory’s music lol
Same
Of course you're not, god damn it is soo catchy
@@evajaneryan3746
HELL YEA DUDE!
I used to think that Press Factory Zone had pretty mediocre music, but after listening to both Act 1 and 2 for extensive periods of time, i have come to the conclusion that they are very good.
Same thing
the monkey clap sync tho
True
I love how the finale boss theme Is Epic and serious when the true finale boss theme makes you wanna dance instead of destroying a purple dragon that spawned out of nowhere
This is god tier soundtrack NO. CAP. If you don't agree then you should go see an doctor, I'm sorry sonic fans. Lel
refreshing to see someone enjoying the odd genesis imitations for the soundtrack for superstars.

Main menu is good

Why isn’t this UA-camr more popular? Like why
6:10 bro i love the clip of this guy dancing to his dog in front of a modified Brazil flag this makes me so happy
I don’t know why people don’t like ost it’s good Also Press Factory Zone 10/10
Hot take: I like the Sonic 4 stuff here
Same, I feel like it was better, and dare I say perfected here
Facts 🗣️
Speed jungle act 1 slaps literally
I have to say that your editing skills are above the average
Good job ❤
Cool opinion and I agree! There should be more people like you. I’ve seen too many fans criticizing the good osts.
Jun senue then: ROLLIN AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND GOT PLACES TO GO GOTTA FOLLOW MY RAINBOW jun senue now: bip boop bip bip boop
Except city escape wasnt made by jun
This is the soundtrack everyone said was terrible? Im never trusting this fandom again
Agreed.
Its mid compared to sonic 3s ost or even some fangames tbh
It's hard compared to the absolute perfection that is mania
its mid but the bops are true pops
As a Sonic fan, I think the soundtrack for Superstars bops
Sonic getting jumped by fang is crazy💀
Cyber Station Boss is my favorite out in sonic superstar I really like it so muchhhhh
The Cyan Emerald Theme Feels Like Nostalgia Trying To Take You Back To Memory Lane
13:00 This goes hard
At first I hated press factory zone act 1, then it grew on me and I now I’m addicted
Superstars got a banging soundtrack, Jun is a good composer just not with genesis sound bits
It's not the actual Genesis sound, and besides, he composed several songs for Sonic 3&K and 3D Blast Genesis
Don’t let him near a synth
@@SquallyCoin5664 even the YM2612?

Despite the fact I really like his "Sonic 4 type beat" songs, I think he's more talented when he uses a guitar
Thanks for acknowledging that Jun doesn't make so awful music!
THANK YOU for the press factory love!! finally someone else who doesnt shit on this track. i dont get the hate!
Press factory is a banger.
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE LIKES PRESS FACTORY

And I think the Early Boss theme would have been better if it had a longer melody loop.
