Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles | SEGA Genesis Full Soundtrack OST (Real Hardware)

This is the full soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles on the SEGA Genesis. It combines the soundtracks for both Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles together in one upload. Tracks labelling with (Sonic 3) are only heard when playing Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as a stand alone game, whereas tracks labelled (Sonic & Knuckles) will play when playing Sonic & Knuckles alone or with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 locked on, as the Sonic & Knuckles tracks have priority over the Sonic 3 tracks. I've also included prototype tracks from Sonic & Knuckles, such as different variations of the main theme and staff rolls.
There was also a prototype of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 which included tracks from before Michael Jackson's music team was involved, and I did a separate full upload for this prototype which you can find here: • Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (...

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Best Sonic game and best soundtrack of any of the 15 bit Sonic games.

[@shaunj66]

[@infernal_monkey]

Damn, this is a really comprehensive upload. Thanks!

[@ItssCurlyFries]

AWESOME OST LETS GO

[@sonikku1011]

I can tell this had to be recorded from a Model 1 lol. It's got the ladder effect going on, this is the best way to hear any Genesis music imo and not with any fancy mods.

[@ItssCurlyFries]

Yeah man, model 1 is where it's at fr

[@radam_wa]

Oh hell yeah!

[@firemario8126]

Best Sonic game ever in my opinion

[@professorpenne9962]

I absolutely agree with this opinion

[@ItssCurlyFries]

And top tier soundtrack to boot

[@sonikku1011]

Yep 💯 the best Sonic game!

[@Dorian_Scott]

(1:00:23) This is an unpopular opinion, but I have always thought that this song would have fit "Doomsday Zone" a hell of a lot better than the fight *_before_* it. From that slow buildup, to the foreboding melody. It gives true final boss energy.

[@Oysterblade84]

It's a popular opinion. 😊

[@Dorian_Scott]

@@Oysterblade84 Really? Because I never heard anyone else say this lol.

[@Oysterblade84]

@@Dorian_Scott Don't have to, I say it's popular as I agree with it. Always thought the final boss music was better than the Doomsday music.

[@georgelincolnrockwell6248]

@@Oysterblade84 "My sources are I MADE IT THE FUCK UP"

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

I actually agree with this, the Doomsday Zone music is good n all but it just screams level boss music where as the final boss music has a more sinister feel to it with the slow build up and it feels more like you’re in true final fight with Robotnik.
