When I fired up Sonic Mania which was for 'free' on PS+ last month I couldn't help but smile hearing the remastered Chemical Plant Zone theme in that game!
Closing my eyes, I was about to fall asleep to the relaxing "Aquatic Ruin Zone". Then I almost had a heart attack 9:16. The drowning music gave me nightmares as a kid.

@Jason Bratcher That's about the lamest excuse ever. CRT TV's are free, desirable if you actually are an enthusiast, and you will find a console + Sonic for sub-$50. I guess you're just not an enthusiast.
I played this game a ridiculous number of times as a kid. I pretty much discovered every glitch. I especially hated the one where turning into super sonic after the stage clears (before the text appears) would crash your game by having you be stuck there infinitely, you couldn't even wait for a time up or anything since you already beat the level.
What? I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen on PAL at least. OK looks like there were two versions of Sonic 2, and they were both worldwide (ie. region free). It's possible you had the first revision and everybody I know had the second.
I forgot how clean Sonic 2's music was in comparison to the first game, the 3rd game and the Knuckles game. I don't care that Micheal Jackson was responsible for those tracks, the sound clarity just wasn't there in Sonic 3/Knuckles. Sonic 2 by far, has the cleaner sound.
***** During the start of the song. I didn't explain what I meant very well. It's a noise that you hear when a radio's speaker when it's getting interference from something else. very specifically from 36:39 to 36:42.
andyukmonkey I'm having trouble hearing it but I'm not in a great listening environment right now. If it's anything it's probably my mobile phone. I always try to keep it really far away when I do these recordings, but sometimes interference from it happens anyway. These old consoles aren't shielded that well. If it bothers enough people, I'll redo it.
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL I thought it was worth pointing out since the recordings are of such a high quality. Please don't feel in any need to rush a reupload.
Died in wing fortress because I glitched into an infinite cycle of death. I got caught on a huge fan and couldn't move. I just kept twirling an' twirling 'til time ran out.
Well then, since you're now my go to place when I want to listen to Mega Drive tracks, I have to make a few soundtrack requests: Thunder Force III, Hezhog Zwei, Red Zone, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Zero Wing, Gleylancer, Devilish (Bad Omen), Mega Turrican and Superman. It would be terrific to listen these tracks in the best quality they were designed for!
Fun fact: the "hidden palace” song at the end (track 10 in sound test) is not actually meant to be used for hidden palace, it might have been used for a cutscene involving super sonic. 👍
j ai jamais jouer casiment a un sonic etant plus jeune ? je n'ai jamais accrocher pourtent j adore sa bande song ! mais le jeux en lui meme j'ai jamais reussie a depasser le 1er stage ? je sais pas ces un jeux rapide mais qui vous stop au moindre obstacle sa fraine le rythme je trouve bref sa reste un must de la genesis
+MrDerOutsider Not just that... some emulators actually replace the PSG square waves with sine waves. You can easily tell if Sonic's jumping sound is way too smooth. On a real genesis some of the higher frequencies are also filtered out, but emulators keep them so some of the instruments that sound distorted but perfectly usable on hardware are terrible in emulators. The guitars of Thunder Force 4 for example.
+za909returns Oh god I hate that. I think it (the "PSG smoothing") started with dgen? And then someone put it into Gens. I don't think it's a default setting but people turn it on not knowing any better. "Gee this says "psg enhance!" better turn that on!" Especially since in most emulators, you WANT the high-quality FM setting on.

It's loosely based on Michael Jackson's Thriller. Even the background guitar is emulated, with a different piano sound.
43:54 Genocide City Zone
46:17 Dust Hill Zone
Not a correction though. =D
I'm writing a Cyberpunk FM synth album right now, going back to listen to the greats is freaking inspirational.

lol I hear it now. Someone mentioned it before but I couldn't hear it then
Classic soundtrack from the console! Never gets old!
this soundtrack is so epic i don't even know where to begin
Chemical Plant best Sega track of all time, like in Skyroads I keep failing that to hear the track over and over (:
Mystic cave zone is my favorite
Man these tracks are just brilliant
Gosh Hidden Palace Zone sounds soooo floating. It's a shame it didn't get used.
4:31 One of my favs! :D
Try listening to it at 0.75x speed

Old consoles are dying slowly. We can plug real vintage controllers on the PC with adaptors. Retrogaming is becoming a rich people thing.

They recycled many themes after the Classic Era, but never the wonderful unused Hidden Palace one.

I prefer running the game in the real console than using emulators, because the songs sound more naturally and the blurry image is nostalgic.
