Ngl, I can’t play Sonic 3&K without this soundtrack anymore, it’s just way too fucking good. 2 years of pure excellences right here, thank you for everything, your music has helped me get through a lot of hard times and I can’t thank you enough for that. (or maybe I can but that’s debatable)
@@smolbrendan5978 That's so weird, 'cuz to me it sounds like the part of the Dragonball opening right where Goku comes flying down spinning the power pole like a helicopter. I wonder if they use the same motifs musically.
Most impressive part about this to me isn't even just the music but also Joy being capable of naming that many inspirations, I think I'd only be able to name like 6 off the top of my head before I need like an extra 3 days to remember others lol
Major boss is my favorite overall, the way you made egg dragoon into an actual chip rather than the soundfont from sonic forces felt like having a hot shower in winter so goated
@@ElOmega980 weirdly enough forces' classic tracks were all programmed and designed with the 2612, said by naofumi hataya in an interview ig the production side with tomoya ohtani really made things sound different
I'm a huge fan of Sonic and its soundtracks, so I'm reviewing each song from the game with a rating from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest. 1. Title Screen - 4/5 2. Mushroom Hill Zone Act 1 - 5/5 Catchy and enjoyable! 3. Mini Boss - 3/5 4. Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2 - 5/5 5. Flying Battery Zone Act 1 - 3/5 I appreciate the attempt to keep the original tone, but it felt slightly off. Not bad, just not amazing. 6. Flying Battery Zone Act 2 - 3/5 7. Sandopolis Zone Act 1 - 4/5 Definitely an improvement over the original, though not perfect. Still enjoyable overall. 8. Sandopolis Zone Act 2 - 3/5 I see what you were going for, but it didn’t quite land for me. 9. Lava Reef Zone Act 1 - 2/5 Hard to top the original masterpiece. I liked the slower tempo in parts, but it didn’t fully capture the essence of the original. 10. Lava Reef Zone Act 2 - 2/5 It was going well at 20:48, but the section after 21:32 missed the mark. 11. Hidden Palace Zone - 5/5 Great track, felt a bit like a Donkey Kong vibe, which I enjoyed! Not typical Sonic, but I’m into it. 12. Knuckles' Theme - 4/5 True to the original but with a nice twist. I liked it. 13. Sky Sanctuary Zone Act 1 - 4/5 A fresh take, and it works. 14. Death Egg Zone Act 1 - 4/5 Not bad at all; it even surpasses the original in some ways. 15. Death Egg Act 2 - 5/5 I’m usually not a fan of the originals, but this one’s fantastic. Perfect tempo and climax for the end-game vibe. 16. Major Boss - 3/5 Decent track, though not exceptional. 17. Death Egg Robot - 4/5 Great beat for a boss battle; it captures the epic feel. 18. The ...what is stuck? - 5/5 Nice beat to finish things off. 19. Life Will Go On - 5/5 A very chill ending beat, and I love it!

My favorite part of this whole album is that every song has the same vibe as the originals but just different enough. Feels like you woke up in a different universe and instead of coke or pepsi there was Code and Bepis
It's been a hot minute since I've genuinely popped off about a music composer- I haven't gotten this excitable about an artist in so long- Love everything you (and company) produce 💖
The alternate naming for all the songs, or "Here's what I think of while listening to this peak" 0:00 Good ending type of beat, super cool, also sounds like an anime opening 0:18 A chill opening of the beach... Sonic is eating his chili dog, but then he's getting interrupted by Eggman's badniks, and here the adventure begins... 2:51 Sonic sees Robotnik, while he and his army of robots are stealing animals. He notices Sonic coming his way, and the battle starts... 4:07 Eggman fleed... Sonic is left alone at an open field... It's getting darker, and a beautiful evening opens up... 8:05 Sonic got into the Eggman's one of the bases, and he starts destroying robots. Tails is catching up on him, and together they are gonna find Robotnik here. 10:25 The adventure continues in the Flying Battery. Eggman sees the duo, and tries to destroy them, but we all know that Sonic's plot armour is too strong. Anyway, Eggman is fleeing from the scene, and our two heroes are catching up. 12:28 A tomb. A humongous tomb opens up in our view. It is pretty far away, and our duo is getting to it through all the sand and badniks. The great pyramids can be seen all the way from here. It seems like the desert never ends, but soon enough they get to the end, and see a huge entrance in front of them. 15:09 Sonic and Tails are inside of the pyramid, and see... _Mickey Mouse?????_ Yeah, idk about that, but this beat is so close to the style of Mickey Mania, I'm sorry. 16:24 Our duo sees a disabled volcano, and enter it. There are many badniks that mine the stones inside of it. Robotnik can be seen in the way, and he tries to stop our Sonic Heroes (ahaha, funny joke), but fails once again. It isn't the end, but it is pretty close... 19:07 The inside of the volcano is crumbling. It is dangerous to stay here, and Tails alarms Sonic about that. There is a beautiful view of all the stones inside, and it's shining so much, that Sonic just can't stay here any longer. (I'm out of ideas, help) Before they leave, they see an amazing wall (wow, wall) that is made all out of diamonds. (cool, diamonds) 22:01 Our duo finds a hidden palace inside of the volcano. They also see Knuckles, that tries to stop them, but our heroes tell him about Eggman's dangerous plan. They team up, and the Sonic Team is fully complete. (another joke hehehe) 26:06 And it's Knuckles! With his dangerous and full of spikes... Knuckles. Yeah, I'm out of jokes, and what? 28:35 It's a sky base! A final stretch to Robotnik's Death Egg. Our heroes defeat all the badniks and fight their way to Eggman's creation: Mecha Sonic Mk. II 30:24 This is it. Eggman's base in space. A great way to end this all. But our heroes (without Knuckles, he got electrocuted 😢) know, that if they will rest, Robotnik might attack them out of nowhere, and so they continue on, to beat him in the final fight. Once, and for all. 33:38 As Sonic and Tails go through a hall, the gravitational pull is changing... They're now upside down! It's the final stretch before they will finally beat Eggman and his evil plans. (Also this song kinda has Mettaton vibes, idk lol) 37:42 Finally, they got him cornered! Our heroes can finally defeat the giant walking, talking egg! But Eggman actually has some aces in his sleeve... (I forgot the saying 😭😭) 39:30 Robotnik in his giant mech attacks our duo! They have almost fallen, but there is still hope, and with hope Sonic dives into the robot's Master Emerald! 42:31 That's it. There's nothing left after this. It's either Sonic or Eggman. Sonic transforms into Hyper Sonic with all the collected emeralds. The final battle. Has. *Begun* _also Miku appears out of nowhere and defeats Eggman_ 47:18 Sonic won (well, Miku won) the battle. He has saved all the creatures, and now they can live on peacefully... A beautiful sunset is seen in the background, and our heroes are flying down to Angel's Island. Everyone is now safe, and other animals applause our heroes... (Knuckles too, although he did almost nothing) *_The End_* 52:56 *I SWEAR, I'M TRYING TO BE ORIGINAL!!!!!1!!11* 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Jokes aside, i think this one got a circus feeling to it. Idk what else to say. 54:20 You can see a race happening, and this song is heard at the end of it. Sonic is first, Tails got second, Knuckles got third, and Eggman lost like always. 55:33 This is the start of the race. A hype up for all the racers. Eggman is cocky, and tells everyone that he will be the winner. Sonic - "Shut up, Eggman!" (Sonic OVA fans anywhere????) 56:36 Guys, we all know, that this is just a lap ending from Virtua Racing. But anyways, this one is amazing. Idk, Sonic is invincible ig 56:57 Yippie, act end! Pretty cool song, idk 57:35 GET LIIIIFFFEEEEE!!!! 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥 57:42 GAME (game) OVER!! (over) So yeah, that's it! I really enjoyed this playlist of alternate songs. If I would rate it from one to ten, I would give it fifteen thousand.
literally impossible for me to play sonic and knuckles without these songs, it changes the vibe to be far more grand and serious which i really enjoy after the more fun relaxed half that is sonic 3. think the minor boss theme and mushroom hill 1 are still some of my favorites
forgot to mention the beautiful use of leitmotifs in this album, like i dont think too many people noticed that the bass line of flying battery and mushroom hill were the same as some light for shadowing for the flying battery stage, and tiny details like that really sell this album to me
Nice that we have all the jingles now, was wondering where they were. Still prefer Invincibility V1 though, anywhere I can find that? Edit: The Sonic 3 "Complete" Alternate OST mod on the ProBoards never said there was an act clear AND/OR a game over alternative!!! WHAT?😮
i chose to drop the first version of invincibility because it honestly was too hyper for my tastes. was horribly mixed as well i went more lowkey referencing virtua racing deluxe since a lot of sonic rom hacks use that ost along with other smps osts for music porting, the title screen leitmotif sprinkled in there more subtly too
The remakes are absolute heat, you made almost every song 10x better, my personal favourite was the remixed knuckles theme, and I love how no one pointed out the meglovania motif in doomsday at 43:04, Absolute peak my dude 🔥
I hear a LOT of melodies from Yu-No: The Girl Who Chants LOVE At The Bound Of This World (PC98) in Mushroom Hill Act 2! (And sure enough, Ryu Umemoto is among your inspirations.) Fantastic, nostalgic fusion work!
SUPER hooked on Flying Battery and Lava Reef *especially*; the vibes are both Lost City from Shovel Knight and Doomsday Device/Area M from Mega Man ZX. Driving, powerful delves into the ruins of an ancient past. IT'S PERFECT.
Some of these sound like they were done by the same composers as the soundtrack of Nosp3. Map 08 and Death Egg Act 1, do you see where I'm going with this?
Finding and vibing to this soundtrack last year is such a core memory. Any time I think back on those good memories then this album always plays, and I don’t think they would’ve been the same without it. Wonderful work John, keep doing what you’re doing.
Death egg act two goes crazy it even has a part at the end that reminds me of the rapping in find your flame, and the random mother three soundfont at the end sounds like the somber part of find your flame given this is after frontiers it makes sense.
this series of songs is what initially introduced me to this channel and thank god because not only is this really good, but I'm always excited to see your stuff pop up in my notifs. keep doing what your doing!!!
The whole album is great, but I'm mad in love with the first act of Mushroom Hill. Insanely funky, my favorite theme in the album by far. Major boss is also REALLY good, the Forces Egg Dragoon theme has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.
Man, what an absolutely incredible album! Seriously, there's so many great tracks here, and it being released in full this year makes it a fitting tribute to Sonic 3 & Knuckles' 30th Anniversary. Outstanding work on this!
i listened thru the entire thing and started tearing up at the credits ngl, you did such a wonderful job portraying all the zones through their music!!!!
YAYAAYAYAY i love this album thank you!!!! Sandopolis act 2 will always be my favorite, not even sure why that melody just instantly became an on-repeat classic for me.
I don't think words can describe how this album made me feel. Such a roller coaster of emotions in all fronts, every single song is amazing in their own right. (the credits song is making me tear up as I'm writing this lol) Thank you, and the rest of the team for taking time out of your life's to make something so amazing.💖
Awesome Album! I love the PC-98 influences in the alternate Mushroom Hill music and that small bit of Turkish March in Sandopolis act 2. Also Joy Tay + A M 4 N is a crossover we all needed.

3. Mini Boss - 3/5

7. Sandopolis Zone Act 1 - 4/5
Definitely an improvement over the original, though not perfect. Still enjoyable overall.
8. Sandopolis Zone Act 2 - 3/5
I see what you were going for, but it didn’t quite land for me.
9. Lava Reef Zone Act 1 - 2/5

10. Lava Reef Zone Act 2 - 2/5
It was going well at 20:48, but the section after 21:32 missed the mark.
11. Hidden Palace Zone - 5/5
Great track, felt a bit like a Donkey Kong vibe, which I enjoyed! Not typical Sonic, but I’m into it.
12. Knuckles' Theme - 4/5
True to the original but with a nice twist. I liked it.
13. Sky Sanctuary Zone Act 1 - 4/5
A fresh take, and it works.
14. Death Egg Zone Act 1 - 4/5
Not bad at all; it even surpasses the original in some ways.
15. Death Egg Act 2 - 5/5
I’m usually not a fan of the originals, but this one’s fantastic. Perfect tempo and climax for the end-game vibe.
16. Major Boss - 3/5
Decent track, though not exceptional.
17. Death Egg Robot - 4/5
Great beat for a boss battle; it captures the epic feel.
18. The ...what is stuck? - 5/5

43:03 Megalovania not lol.
Mushroom hill act 2 is such a vibe ¦3
I love every song in this album, probably one of my all timers. The jingles are so good! I love the act clear theme, I wish I could loop it.
Why is the hyper Sonic fight track named the toilet lock is stuck is it a fight against the rising shit.
I haven't been able to get Lava Reef Act 1 out of my head for months, i love it
48:56 "hey all, sonic here"
It's been a hot minute since I've genuinely popped off about a music composer- I haven't gotten this excitable about an artist in so long- Love everything you (and company) produce 💖
The alternate naming for all the songs, or "Here's what I think of while listening to this peak"
0:00 Good ending type of beat, super cool, also sounds like an anime opening
0:18 A chill opening of the beach... Sonic is eating his chili dog, but then he's getting interrupted by Eggman's badniks, and here the adventure begins...
2:51 Sonic sees Robotnik, while he and his army of robots are stealing animals. He notices Sonic coming his way, and the battle starts...
4:07 Eggman fleed... Sonic is left alone at an open field... It's getting darker, and a beautiful evening opens up...
8:05 Sonic got into the Eggman's one of the bases, and he starts destroying robots. Tails is catching up on him, and together they are gonna find Robotnik here.
10:25 The adventure continues in the Flying Battery. Eggman sees the duo, and tries to destroy them, but we all know that Sonic's plot armour is too strong. Anyway, Eggman is fleeing from the scene, and our two heroes are catching up.
12:28 A tomb. A humongous tomb opens up in our view. It is pretty far away, and our duo is getting to it through all the sand and badniks. The great pyramids can be seen all the way from here. It seems like the desert never ends, but soon enough they get to the end, and see a huge entrance in front of them.
15:09 Sonic and Tails are inside of the pyramid, and see... _Mickey Mouse?????_ Yeah, idk about that, but this beat is so close to the style of Mickey Mania, I'm sorry.
16:24 Our duo sees a disabled volcano, and enter it. There are many badniks that mine the stones inside of it. Robotnik can be seen in the way, and he tries to stop our Sonic Heroes (ahaha, funny joke), but fails once again. It isn't the end, but it is pretty close...
19:07 The inside of the volcano is crumbling. It is dangerous to stay here, and Tails alarms Sonic about that. There is a beautiful view of all the stones inside, and it's shining so much, that Sonic just can't stay here any longer. (I'm out of ideas, help) Before they leave, they see an amazing wall (wow, wall) that is made all out of diamonds. (cool, diamonds)
22:01 Our duo finds a hidden palace inside of the volcano. They also see Knuckles, that tries to stop them, but our heroes tell him about Eggman's dangerous plan. They team up, and the Sonic Team is fully complete. (another joke hehehe)
26:06 And it's Knuckles! With his dangerous and full of spikes... Knuckles.
Yeah, I'm out of jokes, and what?
28:35 It's a sky base! A final stretch to Robotnik's Death Egg. Our heroes defeat all the badniks and fight their way to Eggman's creation: Mecha Sonic Mk. II
30:24 This is it. Eggman's base in space. A great way to end this all. But our heroes (without Knuckles, he got electrocuted 😢) know, that if they will rest, Robotnik might attack them out of nowhere, and so they continue on, to beat him in the final fight. Once, and for all.
33:38 As Sonic and Tails go through a hall, the gravitational pull is changing... They're now upside down! It's the final stretch before they will finally beat Eggman and his evil plans. (Also this song kinda has Mettaton vibes, idk lol)
37:42 Finally, they got him cornered! Our heroes can finally defeat the giant walking, talking egg! But Eggman actually has some aces in his sleeve... (I forgot the saying 😭😭)
39:30 Robotnik in his giant mech attacks our duo! They have almost fallen, but there is still hope, and with hope Sonic dives into the robot's Master Emerald!
42:31 That's it. There's nothing left after this. It's either Sonic or Eggman. Sonic transforms into Hyper Sonic with all the collected emeralds. The final battle. Has. *Begun*
_also Miku appears out of nowhere and defeats Eggman_
47:18 Sonic won (well, Miku won) the battle. He has saved all the creatures, and now they can live on peacefully... A beautiful sunset is seen in the background, and our heroes are flying down to Angel's Island. Everyone is now safe, and other animals applause our heroes... (Knuckles too, although he did almost nothing)
*_The End_*
52:56 *I SWEAR, I'M TRYING TO BE ORIGINAL!!!!!1!!11* 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Jokes aside, i think this one got a circus feeling to it. Idk what else to say.
54:20 You can see a race happening, and this song is heard at the end of it. Sonic is first, Tails got second, Knuckles got third, and Eggman lost like always.
55:33 This is the start of the race. A hype up for all the racers. Eggman is cocky, and tells everyone that he will be the winner.
Sonic - "Shut up, Eggman!" (Sonic OVA fans anywhere????)
56:36 Guys, we all know, that this is just a lap ending from Virtua Racing. But anyways, this one is amazing. Idk, Sonic is invincible ig
56:57 Yippie, act end! Pretty cool song, idk
57:35 GET LIIIIFFFEEEEE!!!! 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
57:42 GAME (game) OVER!! (over)
So yeah, that's it! I really enjoyed this playlist of alternate songs. If I would rate it from one to ten, I would give it fifteen thousand.
The title sounds like a one piece opening.
2:52 I imagine a raccoon rubbing his hands while planning an evil plan with this theme
literally impossible for me to play sonic and knuckles without these songs, it changes the vibe to be far more grand and serious which i really enjoy after the more fun relaxed half that is sonic 3. think the minor boss theme and mushroom hill 1 are still some of my favorites

Damn I didn’t notice that. Knuckles’ theme also has a shares melody with the miniboss theme (somewhere around halfway into the songs or smth)

I hear a LOT of melodies from Yu-No: The Girl Who Chants LOVE At The Bound Of This World (PC98) in Mushroom Hill Act 2! (And sure enough, Ryu Umemoto is among your inspirations.) Fantastic, nostalgic fusion work!
Who decided to make mushroom hill act 2 such a banger 😭 (this fan made album is honestly amazing, thank you for making this)
45:26 LICC SPOTTED
SUPER hooked on Flying Battery and Lava Reef *especially*; the vibes are both Lost City from Shovel Knight and Doomsday Device/Area M from Mega Man ZX. Driving, powerful delves into the ruins of an ancient past. IT'S PERFECT.
Death egg, and the hyper Sonic theme because it reminds me of I’m here from frontiers.
Beginning of mushroom hill is dope
MY TRIBAL KING, YOU HAVE MADE SUCH GREATNESS AGAIN!!!
this is like a doom midi pack for sonic. love it
Some of these sound like they were done by the same composers as the soundtrack of Nosp3.
Map 08 and Death Egg Act 1, do you see where I'm going with this?
Heck yes! Peak is here!
Finding and vibing to this soundtrack last year is such a core memory. Any time I think back on those good memories then this album always plays, and I don’t think they would’ve been the same without it. Wonderful work John, keep doing what you’re doing.
Death egg act two goes crazy it even has a part at the end that reminds me of the rapping in find your flame, and the random mother three soundfont at the end sounds like the somber part of find your flame given this is after frontiers it makes sense.
loving the Ryu Umemoto homage for Mushroom Hill Act 2
one of my fav albums. so glad it finally has a compilation vid
54:20 i was like hey this sounds familiar and I realized it was the bonus theme from TT16B lol
Finally a masterpiece that isn't locked for 3 years before the UA-cam Algorithm gifts me :)
These are amazing!
57:42 Sonic is finally out of lives.
Now can you stop killing him, John?
Worlds best album..
Nice Album soundtrack collection of the Alternate Sonic 3&K tracks you made!😄🤩😎👌
this series of songs is what initially introduced me to this channel and thank god because not only is this really good, but I'm always excited to see your stuff pop up in my notifs. keep doing what your doing!!!
The whole album is great, but I'm mad in love with the first act of Mushroom Hill. Insanely funky, my favorite theme in the album by far. Major boss is also REALLY good, the Forces Egg Dragoon theme has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.
Finally, the S3K Alternate OST is complete!
The doomsday theme rocks so hard I have been playing it on loop for 3 days
Doomsday is still one of your finest works
56:40 That sounds just like Virtua Racing Deluxe!
It sure does! Best game ever made on the 32x!!
Heck yes!
HELL YEA
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!
I like it!
A big collection of your music was just what the doctor ordered.
Sky Sanctuary sounds like it came straight out of Shining Force and I absolutely love it
kessoku band are Sonic Canon
it's true....
"Life will go on" is missing from the downloads folder! ; ^ ; And it's so good, too, I almost cried
seriously? damn i had days to check thanks for telling
@@johntayjinf Oh, thank you for fixing it! 💙 I'm excited to vibe to this entire soundtrack everywhere now, the whole thing is such a treat, Tay.
Death egg is just as beautiful to the ears as before
AMAZING!!! (I've been listening to your music for a while and well done like always!!!!)
I’ve been listening to some of these tracks for *years* and they still sound good. It’s cool to finally see the finished project!
Been here since 2022 John Tay I love you
Man, what an absolutely incredible album! Seriously, there's so many great tracks here, and it being released in full this year makes it a fitting tribute to Sonic 3 & Knuckles' 30th Anniversary. Outstanding work on this!
Peak Cinema
Wow!! This is so nice, can't wait to hear it all on VCs! So far they sound so good 💛
Thank you for the reupload, I can't tell you how often i've relistened to these songs (And all of your other works)...
You're a great inspiration!
8:30 In the mor- in the mor- in the morning!
i listened thru the entire thing and started tearing up at the credits ngl, you did such a wonderful job portraying all the zones through their music!!!!
YAYAAYAYAY i love this album thank you!!!! Sandopolis act 2 will always be my favorite, not even sure why that melody just instantly became an on-repeat classic for me.
15:54 Mozart is that you?
Finally the full album!!
All the song's are awesome, keep the good work!

oh this is fantastic as hell
i love ur talent bro. keep of the great work as always

50:40 just realized this is scott the woz
I don't think words can describe how this album made me feel.
Such a roller coaster of emotions in all fronts, every single song is amazing in their own right. (the credits song is making me tear up as I'm writing this lol)
Thank you, and the rest of the team for taking time out of your life's to make something so amazing.💖
Wozniak & Knuckles
YAY!!! super glad to see it complete!! Amazing effort on this massive project!!
Awesome Album! I love the PC-98 influences in the alternate Mushroom Hill music and that small bit of Turkish March in Sandopolis act 2. Also Joy Tay + A M 4 N is a crossover we all needed.
IVE HAD DOOMSDAY STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR SO LONG HELP ME

I fucking love these songs so much, they are just PEAK. No other words, Amazing Job on these mixes John!

Sandopolis zone act 2 is a banger 👍
“Haha Jonathan! You were bangin with this ost!”
Big fan of Ryu Umemoto inspired tracks
Btw, what lead insturment @ 57:11 is that from? Such a unique sound
the weirdly high-freq e-piano from the credits of the hybrid front by naofumi hataya
Did I hear Artifical Intelligence Bomb in Flying Battery Zone?? SICK
THEYRE BAAAAAAACK
so cool to have the whole ost in one video
