Finally returned to this masterpiece for so long. The only thing about this is that I always speed it up to 1.25x so it sounds like the original. The crazy thing is that it feels like that speeding up is the real remix! Intentional or not, you did an excellent job.
I think because the remix is based on the PAL version which sounds slower to people used to NTSC regions (especially true in north america where 8 bit sonic was mainly known with the Game Gear release) For I have known and played the game in it's "original" release on the European SMS, so this remix sounds for me right on the spot! the slower pace gives it a deeper & more dramatic vibe IMHO.
To the idiots saying 1.25x is better: it’s not! Most people heard this at the time in the PAL tempo, due to the MS being so popular in Europe and the GB shadowing other systems regardless of the GG’s popularity.
Incorporating Crazy Motorcycle Chase was a very cool idea. Mostly because SMS Scrap Brain Zone is not very interesting on its own, but also because it's so creative! I would have never thought of putting these two together. Iceferno, you've done it once again.
+SonicManEXE It suddenly occurred to me whilst I was working on it: same speed, same key. So I wanted to include a little of it, even if the whole thing wouldn't work. Thanks for the compliments. :)
Not the _Scrap Brain Zone_ I was expecting, but my ears were pleasantly surprised! And hey Iceferno, your voice is nice, calm and measured! You could get paid to narrate audio books I bet!
Thanks! haha Yeah the voice clips were my experiment with endslates between 2015 & 17. I don't think they made much difference, so nowadays I place related ad graphics within the start and end of the track. Means it's less likely to be skipped. ;)
just for not beeing what probably 100k people expected this deserves a thumb up. And if I could give you another one, you'd get it for making a great remix of one of my favorite Sonic songs on the SMS!
Between this and your two zora's domain remixes, I think you've accomplished something great. 8-bit is pretty hard to make not sound obnoxious and you handled the soundfont exceptionally well to get that bitty texture without it sounding too harsh. You've really outdone yourself on this one, Iceferno.
+Th3Skull3r Thanks dude. Yeah, I didn't want to be all obnoxious and chiptune about it, but I also didn't want it to be too different. It's a not a Sonic tune many remixers go for.
No, it isn't. I didn't even know about it until I listened here. That must be a risky proposition for you remixers, you don't have the guaranteed audience of a more popular song, but you have the stage all to yourself. Again, fantastic work.
This is so amazing. Including Crazy Motorcyle was such a creative and effective choice, and hearing it brought such a huge smile to my face. This piece solidified you as one of my favorite Sonic remixers. :) Thanks for all your hard work!
Before any more smartasses leave "1.25 is the correct speed" comments, this remix was requested by someone who played the PAL version. PAL is slower, get over it.
Well that's not a fair thing to say. I get that it's annoying, but since it's a regional thing, it doesn't really matter. Both speeds sound right to different people.
It's designed to sound like the PAL version of the game, which ran at about 83% the usual speed. Personally I prefer it; it makes the song feel a bit more tense while still having a decently quick tempo to it.
It gives the feeling of prolonged worry. I can imagine Sam of Sam's Trains Status imprisoned in the depths of the Scrap Brain Zone, awaiting the day when Sonic the Hedgehog will come to free him and help him return home. In Sam's own real abode, Sam's Mother, Father and Sister are huddled together in the loft. The three are very worried with one question on their minds: will Sam ever return? All they can do is hang on to what little hope they have left, while waiting for Sonic to keep his promise. SISTER: Mom, Dad, I miss Sam. MOTHER: We all do. But we mustn't lose hope. Sonic has promised to rescue him someday. FATHER: Sam will come home, yet all we can do is wait. One day, he'll be returned to us. In the Starlight Zone.... SONIC: Don't worry, Sam. I'll get you out of your prison. Hang on to the love you have for your family. Deep underground, in Scrap Brain City.... SAM: Oh Sonic, where are you? I want to go home. I'm bored of being stuck in this dismal cell. Far away, Sonic is speeding closer to his target. Sam is looking forward to going home where he belongs. The time will come along. For now, all everyone feels is worry. Family, don't lose hope. One day, Sam will be reunited with you.
@@shaynemaskall6984 Since you like stories, I have something to share with you. I invite you to visit my channel Kelly Ashford Trains. There you will find a great variety of videos to look at. Some of them are to do with Sonic the Hedgehog.
+Jingleboy14 I wouldn't say sacrilege. Both tracks have their points. The SMS one has a great energy, and the Genesis one has quite mysterious melodies. I can't quite decide which I prefer.
People say that the slow version is worse because it's the PAL Version In my opinion, I feel like it has more of a vibe to it without the speed (almost like a scene is happening or something like that)
Act 1: oh yeah. Part of the Scrap Brain Zone background is near identical in 16- and 8-bit and the rest is more than similar enough visually in 16-bit for this awesome tune to fit so well. Act 2: yes, especially during encounters with caterpillars, pigs, flames, conveyor belts and electricity... Not as much as Act 1 though (I suppose due to Act 2 being completely inside the factory and not as dark of walls as it's 8-bit counterpart), but still a great combination. Act 3: I think it works for that too - I did watch the Act 3 SMS custom hack which worked similarly.
Here we are now.. at Scrap Brain Zone... Here we are now... at the final Zone... it is dangerous here. Evil lurks here... Enemies lurk here. Robotnik is waiting for you! Those are some lyrics I thought of for the beginning of the music.

This remix is genius. When it goes on a tangent and then BOOM back into the main melody - sublime
Wassup, Micheal? Haven't seen ya since the Shadow Reader live stream.
8 years and this video still hasnt reached the attention it deserves
That was brilliant :)
Level UP ya loving the tune?
:D

I agree with you!
Wow didn't expect you here

If U got the time please come check out my version sometime. You might enjoy it.
I found this by accident last night and my memory clicked on how hard I used to vibe with this remix many years ago, simply amazing!
PAL tempo suits the desperation and sadness mood in this song soooo much more! 💝
I’m glad you used it!
To the idiots saying 1.25x is better: it’s not! Most people heard this at the time in the PAL tempo, due to the MS being so popular in Europe and the GB shadowing other systems regardless of the GG’s popularity.
That, and 1.25x isn’t even accurate lol, that’s too fast. 1.167 !== 1.25
i don't know how it took me so long to discover this, but i love it! also love the 'aaaaaaah' in the background starting at 4:38
My favorite song in Sonic from Master System! Awesome Remix!
Mine too. Love it more than the Genesis version now. :P
Absolutely :D
My favorite song from the master system was Lavyrinth Zone. That menacing tone is MILES better than the twangy "song" in the genesis version
4:38 adds that little dramatic touch in the music :)
Eggman Vs. Sonic.EXE
SoH Eggman Solo Final Boss
I hated this laser shooting level. So hard xD
@@nonnegative7063 yea level is hard but music is epic
There it is.
Bro, this remix was really good, nostalgia is running through my veins
This song like Eggman can become hero everyone need, even he is villain

Absolutely fantastic remix dude! Hit me right in the nostalgia :D Just wonderful!

This remix scraps my brain in a good way
1:46 Sonic grabs his giant sword, hops on his "Crazy Motorcycle", and speeds down the highway into the Scrap Brain Zone.
+Billy Sutter I should've referenced Shadow The Hedgehog in some way. haha Stupid game.
@@AlecIceferno I'm a bit late... but this reference was about "Final Fantasy 7". ^^
Cause this tiny bit sounds like "Crazy Motorcylce Chase".
I feel like that’s where it kicks off, but it starts back at about 1:30.
This deserves more than just 100k views...
Awesome Remix!!! Very good work man!
1:59 best part
This music is absolute god-tier, my favorite part is 2:51 - 3:12.
Congratulations for making this awesome version! Surely my Master System Sonic's !!!favorite music
Needs more recognition, this is just fucking amazing.
I love the music
OG as hell
Put in 1.25, the original music
No
This speed is best speed
The 1.25 is actually pretty cool
Nah blow up scrap brain with 2x
Very Thanks
Hopefully one day we can hear this song in a future update of Sonic Dash
This goes HARD
Speed it up to 2x and it sounds like scrap brain is blowing up!
Best Ever Remix S2
I speedrun this game so i heard this song atleast 500 times, i must say that you did a really really good job !!
+Grosse Maman Thanks. :) Really wanted to make something great here and I'm glad it paid off.

Sonic exe SoH? Spirits of Hell?
Yep
Bingo
Your voice at the end is very pleasent btw.
Much appreciated. My endslates have certainly changed over the years. lol
@@Iceferno I find it relaxing. :D
Me recorded of Sonic.exe The Spirits of hell
Awesome remix bro

It's for the people who think one is more right than the other. Gets annoying fast.
I have never played sonic 1 master system in pal mode but I can't tell a different
A difference
the songs are somewhat slower
think the game itself might be too
This zone was my favorite when I was a kid... ...I just remember by listening that music! Pretty cool remix! Well done ;)
This is a amazing PAL remix!
another remix of my fave version of Scrap Brain...shame the Mega Drive version didn't have
this for Scrap Brain.
Es asombroso y buen ritmo de Sonic todo un crack😎
Best track of 8bits Sega
I know i'm late but, Nice remix 😺💖
Wow awesome❤
Wonderful.
wonderful man!!!
Sonic Exe Spirits Of Hell (Eggman vs Sonic exe) [Solo Ending]
Damn son, I thought you only did Streets of Rage. But SONIC too?! Great rendition, brother!
More than half a year later and I still adore this remix! Well worth the £10
Epic ;-;
Scrap brain master system vs mega drive scrap brain music
Ill take the master system version any day
I think the megadrive version is like a zone 1 and master system is like a zone 2: listen to them right after each other.
Headbang intensifies*
Very Good ;)
In 2024 this is still PEAK
Play at 1.25 speed. :D
It's designed to sound like the PAL version of the game, which ran at about 83% the usual speed. Personally I prefer it; it makes the song feel a bit more tense while still having a decently quick tempo to it.
this was used in: sonic.exe spirits of hell (new version) -> eggman solo boss battle
yeah
It was used 8bit SBZ but tee lopes remix
And?
@@reddodeado301 the game is the best sonic.exe made until now. if you like sonic and horror, you should check it out
@@ArcBeetle0
Ok then.
I was trying to watch something else but my ears said 5 more minutes plz
Love it Thank you so much
This gives me European feels because I remember this speed all too well...
Wait, aren't you the same guy who made that Spring Yard remix?
Nice!
awesome!
Brilliant remix! (Please take a look at the Power Blade soundtrack if you're out of ideas
;)
Imagine Sonic Generations Scrap Brain Zone, with the Tee Lopes remix as Act 1, and this, as Act 2
It gives the feeling of prolonged worry. I can imagine Sam of Sam's Trains Status imprisoned in the depths of the Scrap Brain Zone, awaiting the day when Sonic the Hedgehog will come to free him and help him return home.

I've never heard the SMS version of Scrap Brain before, but I already like it better than the Mega Drive version. That's probably sacrilege, right?
+Jingleboy14 I wouldn't say sacrilege. Both tracks have their points. The SMS one has a great energy, and the Genesis one has quite mysterious melodies. I can't quite decide which I prefer.
Nope, they're on relatively even footing but there isn't much debate either way.
Jingleboy14
Nope dude...not a sacrilege! The real fan of sonic like me starts from sms...so this version is a masterpiece.
Woah
People say that the slow version is worse because it's the PAL Version
In my opinion, I feel like it has more of a vibe to it without the speed (almost like a scene is happening or something like that)
Here from Spirits of Hell
Beyond awsomeness
This music is HOT MOM
Scrap Brain Zone is a factory, not a city, correct?
It's both.
This reminds me of megaman songs
“Wily Fortress 3”
Boss: “Scrapped Brain”
Weakness: the Water-based weapon.
Yay now it does not make me have sad memories
I just played 16-bit Scrap Brain Zone muted while listening to this version.
Did it fit?
Act 1: oh yeah. Part of the Scrap Brain Zone background is near identical in 16- and 8-bit and the rest is more than similar enough visually in 16-bit for this awesome tune to fit so well.
Act 2: yes, especially during encounters with caterpillars, pigs, flames, conveyor belts and electricity... Not as much as Act 1 though (I suppose due to Act 2 being completely inside the factory and not as dark of walls as it's 8-bit counterpart), but still a great combination.

Best remix of this man.
Castlevania much? I like it. :-)
Good and slow. ☺
At last; someone who knows what he's doing with this tune. ♥
Cool
This was amazing
My favorite song!!!! Thank you o/
May I use this in a fangame?
Yeah, as long as you credit me and link when it's uploaded.
Void, I presume.
This is at PAL 50fps Master System speed. If you want to hear it at Game Gear speed, set it to 1,2x playback.
Or you could just appreciate it at the normal speed.
Man this is awesome.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is it weird that the SMS version of the theme always reminded me of Mega Man?
It does have something very Mega Man about it, if a bit more melodic.
It feels a bit like the opening of Knights of the Zodiac.
subbed
Scrap Brain (Modern)
Play it on 1.25 it sounds like classic remix
ok! first off, IF YOU USE AN INTRO/OUTRO FOR A TUNE, MAKE SURE IT STAYS SILENT
@mightymadness5355 That makes no sense, and don't say "First off" if you're not gonna bother with a Second.
As much as I love the Mega Drive version (that's basically Blade Runner mixed with Doctor Who) the Master System theme was much better.
Mola
SMS?
Come on, it's not hard.
Here we are now.. at Scrap Brain Zone... Here we are now... at the final Zone... it is dangerous here. Evil lurks here... Enemies lurk here. Robotnik is waiting for you!
