      @DisemboweII 9 років тому +35

      +First Last Unfortunately you're wrong; Michael Jackson composed a fair amount of the music, he just wasn't pleased with the sound quality the Genesis was capable of so he had his name taken out of the composer credits.
      I don't think he realised quite how it'd sound, despite it sounding great to us kids ;)

    • @Sp4zc0r3
      @Sp4zc0r3 9 років тому +2

      +First Last But composing for video games was still an emerging field, at the time - it's possible he was working with (higher quality) MIDI in the studio and didn't like how it translated to the Genesis' sound engine. I know it used to put me off when I'd work on something in Sibelius 3 and gave someone else the MIDI, and it would sound awful on their audio engine. The Jackson family wrote, practiced, and performed music; they didn't sit in a MIDI-oriented soundscape like video game composers did. Also, MJ was a bit mental. (But I loved his stuff! and I LOVE Sonic 3's soundtrack!)

    For the uninitiated, Michael Jackson and his team worked on, in order of appearance, Knuckles’ Theme and the Mini Boss theme from Sonic 3 (Blood on the Dance Floor), Carnival Night Zone (Jam), Ice Cap Zone (The Jetzons-Hard Times), Launch Base Zone, Big Arm Boss fight (based off the 2nd half of the Sonic 3 credits music), and the Sonic 3 credits theme (Stranger in Moscow). Everything else, along with Sonic and Knuckles, was made by other people.

      Shadane There’s a good reason for that, it’s because you have a mere few seconds to input that command properly and half the frames during that time don’t qualify, and will invalidate the whole command if you press a button on them. It’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, and I’ve never seen anyone pull it off properly.

    After researching this soundtrack and its varying styles, I have compiled a list of predictions about who in the S3 sound team did what. It might not be as accurate as SEGA (or fan interactions) only ever confirmed the composer for a few of these tracks -- those ones will be labelled with a checkmark.
    0:00 - Sonic 3 Title Screen
    Composer: Tomonori Sawada ✔
    0:16 - Sonic & Knuckles Title Screen
    Composer: Howard Drossin ✔ -- Masaru Setsumaru programmed and rearranged Drossin's idea.
    0:33 - Options Screen / Save State Screen
    Composer: Masayuki Nagao (it's this Latino vibe that gets reused in several other tracks in this soundtrack -- you will see the pattern)
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru ✔
    51:17 - Stage Clear
    Composer: Jun Senoue ✔ (reused in Sonic 3D Blast (and future Sonic games), with Senoue receiving credit in the game's data)
    51:22 - Knuckles Theme
    Composer: Brad Buxer ✔
    52:40 - Knuckles Theme II
    Composer: Howard Drossin ✔ -- once again, Masaru Setsumaru programmed and rearranged it.
    53:19 - Bonus Stage (Gumball Machine)
    Composer: Jun Senoue ✔ -- appears as an unused track in Sonic 3D Blast, with Jon Burton (the dev of Sonic 3D Blast) confirming it is Senoue's composition.
    54:28 - Bonus Stage (Electric Spheres)
    Composer: Miyoko Takaoka (resembles Marble Garden, though this could simply be because the same sound programmer worked on this track)
    56:18 - Bonus Stage (Slot Machine)
    Composer: Jun Senoue ✔ -- appears as an unused track in Sonic 3D Blast, with Jon Burton (the dev of Sonic 3D Blast) confirming it is Senoue's composition.
    58:01 - Special Stage (3D Spheres)
    Composer: Yoshiaki Kashima ✔ -- confirmed by him through a fan's email in 2001, and an old archived site has an official demo MIDI of this theme posted by Kashima himself)
    1:00:25 - Chaos Emerald
    Composer: Yukifumi Makino ✔
    1:00:28 - Invincibility, Super Sonic (Sonic 3 Only)
    Composer: Tomonori Sawada ✔ -- confirmed in 2015 through himself via SoundCloud
    1:01:10 - Invulnerability, Super / Hyper Sonic (S3&K Only)
    Composer: Howard Drossin ✔ -- Masaru Setsumaru did the programming.
    1:01:43 - Extra Life (Sonic 3 Only)
    Composer: Tomonori Sawada ✔ -- Masaru Sestumaru also did the programming for this one.
    1:01:46 - Extra Life (S3&K Only)
    Composer: Tomonori Sawada ✔ -- Masaru Sestumaru also did the programming for this one.
    1:01:50 - Extra Continue
    Composer: Yukifumi Makino ✔
    1:01:54 - Competition Menu
    Composer: MJ Team (an unknown specific composer) was never used in future Sonic games, and it replaced the proto competition menu theme.
    1:03:34 - Azure Lake
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi (these specific "saw leads" and bass patch are part of the CUBE sound driver. An anime-themed game called "Advanced Busterhawk" uses these particular sounds, and Hikichi had involved in composing some of the tracks for that soundtrack. This fast-paced style is prominent in Hikichi's compositions)
    1:05:33 - Balloon Park
    Composer: Jun Senoue (a Sonic Generations album confirms this) ✔
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru
    1:07:29 - Chrome Gadget
    Composer: Masayuki Nagao (as you will see soon, Nagao confirmed to a fan around 2013 that Hydrocity Act 2 was his composition, and this theme contains tons of similarities to it)
    1:09:42 - Desert Palace
    Composer: Masayuki Nagao (Nagao confirmed to a fan around 2013 that Hydrocity Act 2 was his composition, and this theme contains many similarities)
    1:11:23 - Endless Mine
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru
    1:13:30 - Continue Screen / Incompatible Lockon Game / Blue Spheres Game ✔
    Composer: Jun Senoue
    1:14:14 - Drown Timer
    Composer: Yukifumi Makino ✔
    1:14:26 - Time Over / Game Over
    Composer: Jun Senoue ✔
    1:14:34 - Mini-Boss (Sonic 3 Only)
    Composer: Brad Buxer ✔
    1:16:48 - Mini-Boss (S3&K Only)
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    1:17:53 - Stage Boss (Robotnik / Egg Robo)
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    1:19:08 - Final Boss (Kyodai Eggman Robo for Sonic and Tails, Metal Sonic for Knuckles)
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    1:21:00 - Game Complete (Sonic 3 Only)
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru ✔
    1:21:11 - Credit Roll (Sonic 3 Only)
    Composer: Brad Buxer ✔
    1:24:38 - Game Complete II (S3&K Only)
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru ✔
    1:24:47 - Credit Roll II (S3&K Only)
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru ✔
    Sonic 3 Sound Track:
    2:43 - Angel Island Act 1
    Composer: Masayuki Nagao
    Arranger: Masayuki Nagao (possibly)
    5:07 - Angel Island Act 2
    Arranger: Masayuki Nagao (it resembles Hydrocity Act 2's composition to a degree)
    7:26 - Hydrocity Act 1
    Composer: Tatsuyuki Maeda (this one is another highly rough guess. It does sound quite like Rusty Ruin Act 1 and Act 2 from the Genesis 3D Blast, with the act 1 theme even reusing two similar "instruments," but most of the sound programming and mixing techniques sound nothing like Maeda's)
    Arranger: Masayuki Nagao (possibly)
    9:32 - Hydrocity Act 2
    Composer/Arranger: Masayuki Nagao ✔ (confirmed to a fan back in 2013 -- I am pretty sure many of you are pleased to hear that the composer of this track is known)
    11:27 - Marble Garden Act 1
    Composer: Miyoko Takaoka ✔ (confirmed by herself in 2014, and a recent official Sonic stream in 2020 played this theme and gave credit to Takaoka for it)
    13:37 - Marble Garden Act 2
    Composer: Miyoko Takaoka ✔
    15:47 - Carnival Night Act 1
    Composer: MJ team (an unknown specific composer)
    18:10 - Carnival Night Act 2
    Composer: MJ team (an unknown specific composer)
    20:32 - Ice Cap Act 1
    Composer: MJ team (an unknown specific composer; it is believed to be Brad Buxer, but he did not compose the original "Hard Times" theme)
    23:47 - Ice Cap Act 2
    Composer: MJ team (an unknown specific composer)
    27:01 - Launch Base Act 1
    Composer: MJ team (an unknown specific composer)
    29:12 - Launch Base Act 2
    Composer: MJ team (an unknown specific composer)
    Sonic and Knuckles Sound Track:
    31:21 - Mushroom Hill Act 1
    Composer: Tatsuyuki Maeda (it does have these rising arps and has a similar feel to Rusty Ruin)
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru (it's these surreal, custom patches that indicate Sestaumaru did them)
    32:59 - Mushroom Hill Act 2
    Composer: Tatsuyuki Maeda (it does have these rising arps and has a similar feel to Rusty Ruin)
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru (it's these surreal, custom patches that indicate Sestaumaru did them)
    34:31 - Flying Battery Act 1
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi (it's bewildering how this track is essentially "re-purposed" here. "Stage 5 & Cutscene Theme" from Advanced Busterhawk uses the EXACT same instrumentation, is in the same key, and shares similar compositional techniques such as a frantic bassline and quick glissandos.)
    Arranger: Masanori Hikichi
    36:01 - Flying Battery Act 2
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    Arranger: Masanori Hikichi
    37:33 - Sandopolis Act 1
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    Arranger: Masanori Hikichi
    Arranger: Masanori Hikichi
    39:16 - Sandopolis Act 2
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    41:05 - Lava Reef Act 1
    Composer/Arranger: Masayuki Nagao
    42:31 - Lava Reef Act 2 / Hidden Palace
    Composer/Arranger: Masayuki Nagao
    44:08 - Sky Sanctuary Act 1, 2
    Composer: Sachio Ogawa (the prototype version of this theme sounds like proto Launch Base Act 1)
    Arranger: Masaru Setsumaru (one of the instruments has multi-tone waves, something Sestaumaru does with his compositions)
    46:15 - Death Egg Act 1
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    Arranger: Masanori Hikichi
    47:45 - Death Egg Act 2
    Composer: Masanori Hikichi
    Arranger: Masanori Hikichi
    49:12 - Doomsday
    Composer: ???

    Greatest Sonic game ever made, no question. Hell, it might even be the best game ever made to some, and can you blame them? Incredible level design, three playable characters each with their own unique abilities, fantastic storytelling especially from a platformer from '94, super fun and addicting gameplay, the best special stages in the entire series, incredible soundtrack, a fun multiplayer mode, the introduction of the super emeralds, and so much more. Sonic Team's magnum opus for sure.

Out of all the redesigned characters I think he is definitely the one they botched the most.

    Sonic 3 & Knuckles together was a masterpiece. To me as an ensemble, it was the best sonic game ever made.

      Ok, so I just purchased it. I am not as hardcore of a gamer as I use to be when I was younger(although I still love gaming). I had completely given up on the sonic games for a long time so I didn't even know this existed. Just from the 30 minutes that I have played so far, I can honestly tell you that you just might be onto something. "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" has a special place in my heart - the epic story, the levels, the music, the characters. It was and always will be one of the top games of all time in my book. But I can tell just from the little I have played of "Sonics Mania" so far it too just might become one of my favorite games of all time perhaps even surpassing "Sonic 3 & Knuckles". So far it's doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! WHO IS BEHIND THIS GAME and why wasn't he/she helping make the sonic adventure games and all the ones after?! This person really gets it!

      +OrangeKyle91 Yeah it's funny how the music can sort of tell a story, when Robotnik shows up you get this vibe like he's an evil madman who must be stopped, but these days they portray him as a bumbling comical fool, I don't like it, Robotnik should always be a sinister villain.

    Confession! When I first played this and reached the Ice Cap Act 1 level, I got hooked on to the background song that literally I would not pass that level and I would leave the character sonic just standing so I can enjoy the song. I got so upset when a friend of mine came over one time and played it and passed it. So you can guess how happy I am that I found this! This sure brings back those good memories!
