Well, in the interim between the first and second versions of the list, Audiosurf came out. This worked out pretty well, except for the fact that about a fifth of the songs I'd picked out weren't posted on Youtube. In the interests of keeping everything legal, every song is actually a Youtube link. Add in a title screen for each game and you finally have a complete thread. That lasted until I hit the Game Gear/Master System version of Sonic 1 before branching out into development history, occasionally sprinkled with a bit of commentary. Having finished that, it still seemed pretty barebones for an appreciation thread, so I decided to do music trivia and composer writeups for each game as well to make it interesting. In the interests of topicality (and subsequently not getting potentially banned for going wildly off topic), I tucked the file away with the intent of later turning it into an appreciation thread like Pureauthor's then-recent Mega Man music appreciation thread (update it for Mega Man 9, you slacker).įast forwarding to around a week ago, I picked this back up and started going through my music archives again, intentionally going for 'the best of' this time around.

Once I finished it up and started looking it over though, it was pretty obvious that somewhere around Sonic Adventure 2 it had regressed from 'Sonic music that would be good to Brawl by' to 'the best of Sonic'. The songs people were mentioning were all well and good, but for the most part they were the same ones you always hear mentioned whenever the subject of Sonic music comes up, ignoring all but a small percentage of games and music. This topic started out intended for that topic as a definitive, comprehensive list of music from Sonic games that would go well in Brawl. Idle talk can be a dangerous thing, especially in a topic like the Smash Bros. This thread is in honor of the dozens of different men and women who have worked behind the scenes to make that possible. Over the years the series has hit J-pop, Europop, hip hop, rock, metal, jazz, electronica, funk, and many more genres, pulling (almost) every one of them off superbly.

But in spite of the varying quality of the gameplay, the series has a single constant: fantastic music. His games simultaneously rank among the best and worst in platformer history. Between 19, Sonic the Hedgehog has managed to reach some of the highest heights in gaming as well as some of the lowest lows.
