I know what you mean about feeling pressured. It's something a lot of online content creators struggle with. But part of the appeal of doing this is being able to do the kind of quality work you WANT to do. Your remixes added so, SO much to my classic Sonic series last summer, and I'm thrilled to hear you're back! Please take all the time you need!
The master returns from his self imposed exile and shows that he is not one to be trifled with. Seriously Nico, if it means uploads are slow, then please continue. Your drive is showing a lot more than you're giving yourself credit for. I personally miss the Modern remixes, but if Classic is what brings out that passion, then full steam ahead. You've proven that you can knock both sets out of the park, with this Egg Rocket Re-Remix being no exception. It'll be great to see what this "Director's Cut" of sorts has in store.
This is amazing and your remixes were already incredible enough. I can't wait to see what else you remake and do take as much time as you need on them even if your old ones were rushed they still were incredible and this is even more incredible.
As someone who is slowly appreciating Sonic Advance music. I really like this remix. I don't know if you are taking request or still doing remixes but I would love to hear your attempt at Sky Babylon act 1 from Sonic Rush Adventure or Egg Utopia act 1 from Sonic Advance 2. Apologies if you aren't.
I must say I very much like how you incorporated act 1 and act 2 into this mix. You really do give this over looked song much justice. Many thanks for a new track to listen to.
Finally you're back with the great remixes. Do not rush your content, everyone just want great remixes, and to do so you just need to take your time with them. Don't feel pressured or rushed. Oh and this one is amazing.
I'm so glad you are back. Yes, by all means take your time. I'd rather have a slow roasted chicken instead of a quick cooked one, if you catch my drift. :)
You cant imagine the smile that came across my face when I saw this video. Sure it bummed me a bit when you stopped sonic remixing, but I won't ever forget when I first listened to your early remixes. Very nice job on this one, I thoroughly enjoyed it. And that upbeat shift at 0:57 was godly. I'm still putting my face back together.
Sweetness, man! Glad to see that you're back! Funny thing is, I just finished tagging and organizing your songs in my collection! What a timely coincidence!
Impressive remix is impressive. Although I loved many of your old remixes, I can understand why you didn't. If working more slowly and not bowing to pressure to create leads to more awesomeness like this, go for it.
Great Egg Rocket remix, but you overdid the square leads. You should've kept the "decay" effect the original had. The bass is very quiet, too. However, I find the addition of Cosmic Angel very clever and original and I love the effect you added to the brightness/square wave hybrid synth!
I read your description man. And in all honesty, you deserve to take your time. I've stuck with your remixes ever since freshman year in highschool. This may seem awkward, but they kept my head straight too when i felt upset. Sonic osts are awesome, but you make them even better.
+EvilTurkeySlices *stunned silence* a-... are you kidding me? he's talking about the mj "WOO!" that was in sonic 3 and verious other samples from sonic 3's soundtrack.
glad to see you are back at it again, Nico. your remixes are awesome! this one brings back some memories, i'll say that much. keep up the good work, man!
I can see Egg Rocket Act 1 (Classic Sonic) as a combination of Wing Fortress, Flying Battery, and Death Egg (S3&K), while Act 2 (Modern Sonic) would combine Sky Deck, Final Egg, and Crazy Gadget.
Eeeeee, I'm so excited! This remix is amazing! And I can understand how having your channel explode like that could put a lot of weight on your shoulders. I'm a massive fan your work (Sonic remix or otherwise) and I look forward to each upload. :)
Take as much time as you need to, buddy. Nice to see you back. This song brings back so many great memories. Thank you for sharing this amazing work of art with us! :-D Cheers!
I can't believe you're back at Sonic. Do indeed take your time, this one was one of the most epic classic remixes I've heard from you (specially since you returned with one of my favorite tracks from the Advance series). Simply awesome.
MrRiddleCT Chaos Angel never gets old for me. Although, I do prefer Cyber Track ... but probably because it's one of my favourite advance trilogy levels ... so there is a bit of a bias. :P
I'm glad to see it all worked out for you. I can't lie and say I didn't follow you for them, but I was happy to see your other stuff. Keep up the good work!
Sweet, dude. Your remixes were a big reason I signed up. I already thought they were amazing to begin with, so if you say they were bad and can do better, then I just know my ears are in for a good time. No need to rush out your stuff. As you say, quality > quantity. Very happy to see you get back to your remixes. Looking forward to the remasters and new stuff. =D
I'll be honest to you Nico, once a day I crave some Chrome Gadget music because it's nice. I always come back to yours because it has that 'it' feeling to it. When I saw this and the new one I haven't checked yet I had a big grin on my damn face. Son, you make me proud. Take all the time in the world, I hope you consider looking back at Flying Battery Zone again or even a new one like the Game Gear version of Death Egg Zone. Either way, good to have you back :)
I'm totally fine with not getting as many remixes as you used to put out as long as it takes the pressure off of you. That kind of pressure takes its toll, and I think you're entitled to operate on your own schedule for these kinds of things.
No wonder I like this remix so much, its a Sonic Advance remix. I never played the first 2 games in the series, I only played 3 but damn do I miss those days. I can tell the trilogy has amazing music. If only SEGA brought these sweet tunes in to modern day like they did in Generations.
Holy crap, the legend has returned... And damn, you came back with a huge boom (or rather, a Sonic Boom?) The song sounds fantastic. But on a serious note, I'm glad you're back. It was always nice seeing a new remix in my sub box. I'm completely fine with you taking time on them if it makes you comfortable. Can't wait to see what you have in store.
Really like this remix. Just a thought for future uploads, could you put where the track originally came from in the title and/or video picture? Like for example this one's from Sonic Advance if I'm not mistaken. Just having that logo in the corner or listed in the description or something. Really great job by the way! I've adored all the remixes you've done from Advance. Wouldn't mind hearing more when you're up to it :)
I respect your decision and I'm glad your back. I'm lovin' the techno feel, tho. Just drives the nostalgia home. ...but wow! We both used Egg Rocket and Cosmic Angel in our remixes, as well as dem genesis vocals. I mean why not? =J You must have really like the Advance series, right?
finnaly more songs! i'm loving them! thought you can take your time. me 1 song every month? that give you time to make it then have a break, and then upload it!
I love the Launch Base elements here. I didn't really make the obvious connection that Egg Rocket 1 is basically the updated version of Launch Base while Act 2 is Death Egg.
listening to this and the original there is VAST improvement, but not just in composing but the instrument choice as well. did you get a new program or just find better samples?
I know what you mean about feeling pressured. It's something a lot of online content creators struggle with. But part of the appeal of doing this is being able to do the kind of quality work you WANT to do. Your remixes added so, SO much to my classic Sonic series last summer, and I'm thrilled to hear you're back! Please take all the time you need!
The Geek Critique You know I'd noticed that Nico's remixes were in your videos.
Man, you're right, I got a bit of experience with that too, I make wallpapers for fellow Sonic FCs/OCs/recolors
Phew! At least nobody wants them anymore...
Egg Rocket was always my fave of your remixes so this was a really pleasant surprise. Great stuff man!
S
the "WOO!" and "C'MON" snippets really make these feel so authentic... dude you're so fucking talented
These small details really add up to make something great, don't they?

When the Cosmic Angel Zone kicks in- ✨ULTRA HYPE✨
Always happy when remixes keep the defining sounds the same or very close. Just makes it feel right.
The best Sonic arranger has returned!! Great to see you back!! :D :D
That breakdown at 0:57 though...
COME OWHN!!
(WHOO!)
0:56 Good work, Nico! You turned my least favorite part of the song into my favorite part of the song!
This is amazing and your remixes were already incredible enough. I can't wait to see what else you remake and do take as much time as you need on them even if your old ones were rushed they still were incredible and this is even more incredible.

Do whatever you need to do, I'm more interested in quality than quantity.
Also HOT DAMN this is fantastic.
Finally you're back with the great remixes. Do not rush your content, everyone just want great remixes, and to do so you just need to take your time with them. Don't feel pressured or rushed.
Oh and this one is amazing.
YISSSSS NICO'S BACK BABY!
Seriously, though. Nice remix. No pressure, man. Just take your time.
I don't know about everyone else, but this zone can hang itself.
I cried!!
Why did i find this 3 years late?
cried waterfallls
I'm so glad you are back. Yes, by all means take your time. I'd rather have a slow roasted chicken instead of a quick cooked one, if you catch my drift. :)
You cant imagine the smile that came across my face when I saw this video. Sure it bummed me a bit when you stopped sonic remixing, but I won't ever forget when I first listened to your early remixes. Very nice job on this one, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And that upbeat shift at 0:57 was godly. I'm still putting my face back together.
Nico's making Sonic remixes again!
And he's starting with Egg freaking Rocket!
And it's somehow even better than the previous Egg Rocket!
Dude there's so much heart and passion put into this, it's incredible! Keep it up (but only when you feel like it! ;)
Sweetness, man! Glad to see that you're back! Funny thing is, I just finished tagging and organizing your songs in my collection! What a timely coincidence!
I am so glad that you are making remixes again!!! In fact, you have improved vastly!
I can't believe that you're back doing sonic generations classic and modern remixes, i need a download link soon for this
Andrew Frosos Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. The Soundcloud link has downloads enabled.
you sure cause im on the page and don't see a link
But hey, you can use literally any SoundCloud downloader, or if you REALLY don't trust those, the manual Inspect Element method.
+NicoCW Hey, there's still no download link.
That's literally garbage quality. Why would you even suggest that?
whoa... i didn't think it'd be better than the last one but.... whoa
me when kart airlines zone
That track is amazing
Impressive remix is impressive.
Although I loved many of your old remixes, I can understand why you didn't. If working more slowly and not bowing to pressure to create leads to more awesomeness like this, go for it.

Bouncy Glow Spin-Offs what are you a remix critic?
Yes
The It's No Use-inator yes
that's exactly what bouncy is, lmao
I agree; decay works better.
I read your description man. And in all honesty, you deserve to take your time. I've stuck with your remixes ever since freshman year in highschool. This may seem awkward, but they kept my head straight too when i felt upset. Sonic osts are awesome, but you make them even better.
I listen this song since 5 years ago
The voice of Launch Base in Sonic 3... That's incredible
I will wait patiently for each new one. After all, it's about quality, not quantity.
Nice Sampling work with the Sonic 3 music. It fits in pretty well too.
+Christian Hammand the song is from sonic advance...
+EvilTurkeySlices *stunned silence* a-... are you kidding me? he's talking about the mj "WOO!" that was in sonic 3 and verious other samples from sonic 3's soundtrack.
glad to see you are back at it again, Nico. your remixes are awesome! this one brings back some memories, i'll say that much. keep up the good work, man!
so this is what you been up to lately ive been committed to you since the beginning in 2012 thanks for making these remixes nicocw
AMAZING, i love that you are back at making these wonderful remixes
I can see Egg Rocket Act 1 (Classic Sonic) as a combination of Wing Fortress, Flying Battery, and Death Egg (S3&K), while Act 2 (Modern Sonic) would combine Sky Deck, Final Egg, and Crazy Gadget.
Best track in srb2 kart
Eeeeee, I'm so excited! This remix is amazing! And I can understand how having your channel explode like that could put a lot of weight on your shoulders. I'm a massive fan your work (Sonic remix or otherwise) and I look forward to each upload. :)
Take as much time as you need to, buddy. Nice to see you back. This song brings back so many great memories. Thank you for sharing this amazing work of art with us! :-D Cheers!
This is basically amazing.
escaperoutebritish Holy shit those Jackson samples in the breakdown, hnnnnnnngh
Awesome remix. Glad to have you back making Sonic remixes, just don't stress yourself this time.
Welcome back man ur remixes are gold. Stay confident.
really underrated sonic game, really underrated soundtrack. Done a great job as usual Nico :)
I can't believe you're back at Sonic. Do indeed take your time, this one was one of the most epic classic remixes I've heard from you (specially since you returned with one of my favorite tracks from the Advance series). Simply awesome.
MrRiddleCT Agreed! I love Egg Rocket's music.
I think it is second only to Advance 3's Chaos Angel
MrRiddleCT Chaos Angel never gets old for me. Although, I do prefer Cyber Track ... but probably because it's one of my favourite advance trilogy levels ... so there is a bit of a bias. :P
I'm glad to see it all worked out for you. I can't lie and say I didn't follow you for them, but I was happy to see your other stuff. Keep up the good work!
You are doing great work!
Thanks for making another. Your prob the best sonic remixer on youtube.
You really should take your time, yes! It's always nice to have a surprise song every once in awhile. o wo
1:22 cosmic angel
So you're taking the Wizzywhipit route. I APPROVE.
Glad you're back to these. From this point on, don't let pressure get to you, though. Do these for you, ok?
Yes!
Awesome to see ya back!
Sweet, dude. Your remixes were a big reason I signed up. I already thought they were amazing to begin with, so if you say they were bad and can do better, then I just know my ears are in for a good time. No need to rush out your stuff. As you say, quality > quantity. Very happy to see you get back to your remixes. Looking forward to the remasters and new stuff. =D
Nice to see you back, man.
I'll be honest to you Nico, once a day I crave some Chrome Gadget music because it's nice. I always come back to yours because it has that 'it' feeling to it. When I saw this and the new one I haven't checked yet I had a big grin on my damn face. Son, you make me proud. Take all the time in the world, I hope you consider looking back at Flying Battery Zone again or even a new one like the Game Gear version of Death Egg Zone. Either way, good to have you back :)
Awesome! Great to see you back Nico! 😊
Never ceases to amaze me.
Holy shit, you're doing these things again! I just hope you don't stress yourself, even if that means these things are fewer and farther between.
I'm totally fine with not getting as many remixes as you used to put out as long as it takes the pressure off of you. That kind of pressure takes its toll, and I think you're entitled to operate on your own schedule for these kinds of things.
*how the fuck is this 2 years old already it still doesn't feel like that long since this was uploaded*
Yo, this some hot fire, right here. Besides, Nico, just keep doing what you're doing. Ignore all impatient people, and just do what you do best.
Amazing remix! This is far beyond anything you've made previously
No wonder I like this remix so much, its a Sonic Advance remix. I never played the first 2 games in the series, I only played 3 but damn do I miss those days. I can tell the trilogy has amazing music. If only SEGA brought these sweet tunes in to modern day like they did in Generations.
Holy crap, the legend has returned...
And damn, you came back with a huge boom (or rather, a Sonic Boom?) The song sounds fantastic.
But on a serious note, I'm glad you're back. It was always nice seeing a new remix in my sub box. I'm completely fine with you taking time on them if it makes you comfortable. Can't wait to see what you have in store.
This song has the same energy as Launch Base Zone Act 1 (Prototype).
*nostalgia awakens*
The king of remixes is back!
the old ones were "HORRY SHEET" levels of amazing
but you somehow made this one even better.
"HOW DO YOU EVEN!!!"
Create them at your leisure, quality takes time and effort, no need to feel pressured.
Amazing job with this one! Keep up the quality work.
Excellent!
Egg Rocket Classic:Act 2

You just got the Gnoggin bump, I've been subscribed for literally 10 minuets and already love what I hear. :D
My childhood is in tears
Really like this remix. Just a thought for future uploads, could you put where the track originally came from in the title and/or video picture? Like for example this one's from Sonic Advance if I'm not mistaken. Just having that logo in the corner or listed in the description or something. Really great job by the way!

Oh sweet you're back at doing these!
Cool stuff
Edit: holy shit this is amazing
YES!
I respect your decision and I'm glad your back. I'm lovin' the techno feel, tho. Just drives the nostalgia home.
...but wow! We both used Egg Rocket and Cosmic Angel in our remixes, as well as dem genesis vocals. I mean why not? =J
You must have really like the Advance series, right?
congratulations on your work man !
I love it! Cosmic Angel is a bit too slow though imo! :D
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I love you
If it means we'll get more high-quality remixes like this one, by all means, take your time.
The king is back! :D
Yay! I thought you were never going to make anymore.
OH MY GOD YOU'RE BAAAAAACK
I'm glad that you're doing them for you.
Also the meme remixes were getting stale quick.
You have officially been cleared of your crimes against humanitarians
finnaly more songs! i'm loving them! thought you can take your time. me 1 song every month? that give you time to make it then have a break, and then upload it!
I love the Launch Base elements here. I didn't really make the obvious connection that Egg Rocket 1 is basically the updated version of Launch Base while Act 2 is Death Egg.
This is a great remix,dude!😄😎❤
listening to this and the original there is VAST improvement, but not just in composing but the instrument choice as well. did you get a new program or just find better samples?
This is freaking amazing... I need to play Advanced again now. XD
Much much better than your previous work. Still sounds MIDI-ish. If that's even a phrase.
CyberMario I think you word your looking for is: synthesized
1:49 this part until 2:09 sounded like a battle theme of a GBA pokémon game
oh fuck yeah! *jams*
Amazing Remix!
Brilliant. Just brilliant. :3
Ah, glad your redoing these to the best you can.. the old ones sound... egch, like they belong in a crappy fangame, do this good and slow, my Nico!
Yes there back after a long wait
