Sonic the Hedgehog Sound Effect and Jingle Comparison (Updated)

Now with the drowning jingles from Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and Sonic Mania.

[@netako]

It's interestingly how Sonic Mania mostly reuses the SFX from the past Sonic games while having a totally new drowning theme.

[@andrevital24805]

I am god

[@gigabyte6614]

I mean the music is different in that game, so it only fits for the drowning theme to be in that category as well

[@alecagredano4964]

[@beesree39]

yeah because it's music??? what kinda comment is this

[@spongebobmusicuhg3420]

[@ZaydenTehNewb]

@@klockowikolesie18if i remember correctly, sonic advance 2 only has 1 water spot. therefore making it almost impossible to drown throughout the game.

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

0:18 - 0:21 I can't understand why they don't use this Chaos Emerald sound effect that often, Personally I like this sound effect.

I feel it's because it sounds like it unfinished and less refined. Though that's just my opinion

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

@@pastabowl7 I don't find that to be the case.

Some suggestions: Add Sonic CD , Knuckles Chaotix, and 3D Blast Genesis, and 3D Blast Saturn (this version has updated sound effects) Add the sound effects for shields, spin attack, spin dash charge, the error sound (Chaotix uses a different one from 2 and 3&K), and the 1-up jingles (S3 uses a different one compared to S3&K and S&K alone)
