Fun fact: the track “Green Hill Zone: Act 1” from Sonic Mania is a direct reference to “Green Hill Zone” from Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)

[@balaclavakid3905]

That's funny, I heard "Green Hill Zone: Act 2" from Sonic Mania (2017) is also a reference to that track!

[@Brodster_DK]

Ok so hear me out, I think “Chemical Plant Zone: act 1” is a reference to “Chemical Plant Zone” from Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (1992)

[@balaclavakid3905]

Here’s a fun fact: the first eight notes of Endless Mine, Escape From the City, and the Sonic Mania theme are rhythmically identical, meaning the notes line up perfectly, even though the pitch for each notes is different

[@patrickrusso9919]

Check out Alex Yard and Knuckles page. He does a video on Endless Mind music theory and mentions how they use that motif repeatedly

[@Remour]

Just because mania uses similar rhythm, does not mean they were intentional. Thousands upon thousands of songs use the same rhythm, that does not mean they are referencing each other. This goes the same with chord progressions.

[@borinightmare]

Look at the Ice Cream changes in some songs that are references in Alex's video. You'll be amazed.

[@masterboa6321]

also some parts from Twinkle Park, the final boss from 3d Blast, and part of it is in Angel Island Act 2

Also the original Japanese lyrics have subtle differences across each chorus

[@tsunderecat413]

while i personally prefer the sa2 version, that one doesn't have a reference to bridge zone, does it?

[@partyorbit]

Any song is good if it makes you emo

[@destroyerkitty9434]

It Doesn’t Matter: Sonic’s message to the world that he doesn’t care what happens, he’ll just get through it with a smile Believe in Myself: Tails believes in his own abilities and probes he’s more than just a sidekick E.G.G.M.A.N: Eggman, with his unmatched ego, is more than proud to spell out his name for you Fly in the Freedom: Rouge doesn’t let herself get tied down by anyone, thus she’s free to fly where she wants to Supporting Me: Shadow holds onto his confidence to in the final battle, knowing that from being the grave, Maria is supporting him. Song titles are important and say a whole lot. (But tbh, idk what the hell Unknown from M.E. means)

good video! sonic adventure in particular has a lot of nods to its own songs that I like. twinkle circuit uses a different version of it doesn't matter for quite a bit of the song, windy valley act 2 has speed highway act 1's melody later into the song, and the chaos 6 boss theme has bits of open your heart. there's others too (including similar stuff in adventure 2) but those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head right now. if you're planning on making another video like this on sonic I'd recommend giving both of the adventure soundtracks a full listen sometime to see what you can spot, there's a lot of parts of the songs in those games that you don't actually hear while playing!

[@Motion663]

Hello mr haha

[@simplyhoodie]

Also not mentioned is another unused sonic blast song was used for Adventure. Twinkle Park itself

[@Inner_Phantom]

Here's a super obscure fact: As we all know, Sonic CD has 4 versions of every sing (Present, Past, Good Future, and Bad Future). But not many people know that the past remixes were made using the Sega Genesis'/Master Drive's soundchip! A nice refrence to how cartridge games were becoming tech of the PAST and the CDs were the new norm for the time of Sonic CD.

[@draconicruns]

That's because they weren't, they were made with the CD's own sample-based sound chip, which is more similar to the audio of the SNES

[@soulsparx]

id be interested to see mega man! that series is full of musical references where character names are concerned, so it'd be interesting to see if the actual in-game music is the same! i know there are definitely some interesting self-references, like the black devil boss from X5's theme being a callback to the wily boss theme from the very first game!

[@sriracha_sauce]

As a kid who didn't grow up with mega man and later discovered it in their teens, I absolutely fell in love with the music from the games

[@nspectorr]

i remember times when sonic ost was the only thing in my playlist😭 i really loved sonic 2006 soundtrack, especially "dreams of an absolution"

[@pokedude900]

Nice video! Glad I was able to contribute. Feel free to hit me up if you need footage for anything else in the future. Also a word of advice: if you're using a snippet of copyrighted music in your video, keep it under 8 seconds to avoid a claim.

[@gravitysilence]

Subscribed for the FNaF plushie redesigns, stayed for the Sonic music trivia. Keep making great stuff.

[@BiolizardthePrototype]

One of my favorite music tricks in Sonic is The Melody for Mystic Mansion from Sonic Heroes playing a different rhythm depending on which room you’re in.

[@GamersProSooS]

Trivia: The Green Hill Zone music of Sonic 2 (game gear vers.), it's the "You Can Do Anything" of the Sonic CD JP opening. The entire music it's the same

[@ARAK_46]

14:50 fun fact : Sega recently re-used this song for a colaborative sonic game in roblox they made

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

How ironic, joking about someone getting sued and then getting a copyright claim for the same songs.

[@SlashCraftJack]

If you listen closely to the chorus of "Supporting Me" you can hear the slowed tune "Live and Learn" using violins

[@solomon3742]

This was a really fun video! can’t wait to see what you make next.

[@Eldarin]

Great job! I wasn’t aware about a lot of the Genesis musical trivia, you also hit the nail right on the head about Senoue w/ 3DB -> SA1. He actually said himself that it was due to hardware limitations. Also smh throwing dirt on the best sonic OST, Chronicles hahaha!

[@smpg329]

this was honestly really interesting, had no idea sonic songs had this many callbacks! Not sure if you've played it, but hollow knight is game with a lot of musical refrences and secrets in it that I find interesting and I think would fit well in this kind of series!

[@STINKERMCGEE]

I feel similarly about video game music. I love listening for easter eggs, and fun nods to other games or tracks. However almost no one around me shares my enthusiasm for it. I'm glad I found a channel that really captures that feeling. Thanks!

[@not4nikiii]

Something actually cool is that in the Sonic 30th Anniversary Concert, Sega took Falk, one of the musical geniuses behind the Sonic Before & After the Sequel OSTs, and added Cloudy Crowd to the begining of I Believe in Myself... just another moment of Sega respecting and praising their fans.

[@Jules-pl6kw]

This was really cool. I have a hard time picking up on musical references, so it's neat hearing you to point out the references or music carried over from other games.

[@shyguymike]

Frick me this is an amazing idea for a series! I adore video game music and someone covering interesting facts about them is a blessing. (Plus you seem to share my video game taste, so, you know... bonus points from me) Really glad I subbed.

[@vi0letclarke]

I'm not a huge sonic fan or anything, but i like your personality and editing style so i thought i'd give this video a shot- and i found it super interesting! keep up the great work

[@PlayerZeroStart]

You know, a lot of KZbinrs will say "Hey, I'm sick, so sorry if I sound different" but then sound no different from normal. This is probably the only time where being sick made a noticeable change in the voice in a KZbin video I've watched

[@totallyyori]

[@Fawriel]

I don’t know if it’s just that I’ve been watching your videos while I’m tired, but you are like, incredibly funny! Your sense of timing and delivery is so good you even managed to make that little almost Family Guy style skit about being a Sonic historian work. That’s such a rare accomplishment!

[@wrench.wrench.wrench]

[@eSilly11]

Sega Saturn Green Groves was used in an official Sonic Roblox 'Sonic Speed Simulator' for the theme of Green Hill.

Hey there’s another cool one from Shadow the hedgehog. The level “The Ark” reuses & remixes the guitar riff of “Final Rush” from Sonic Adventure 2!

[@andrewmcclare7242]

holy shit i'm so happy I found your channel. Just the part where you describe only listening to video game soundtracks bro this is my corner of the internet for SURE lol

[@campbellsonic]

A few other Sonic Adventure references I know of: -Twinkle Park's Pleasure Castle is a remix of another unused 3D Blast track -Tails's theme Believe in Myself is a remix of Bridge Zone's theme from Sonic 1 8-bit

[@MandrakeGuy]

i gotta give it to you, you have my humor, the random frickin donkey kong at 6:15 is genuinely the funniest thing iv seen today :D

[@lozer9431]

ngl, i actually keep all my games muted because otherwise i cant focus on gameplay so its super awesome to hear you talking about it

[@louizeandrei]

I'm not sure if I'm tripping or not but the singer for "It Doesn't Really Matter" and the overall vibe of the song reminded me of the singer from Sonic R and the song too.

[@P0iNtLeSs27]

YOU DESERVE MORE LOVVVEEE!! Great video dude! :D

[@Is-wunny]

I love the fact that "Dreams of an absolution"(Silver's theme) from Sonic 06 is kind of a remix of Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1

[@ThatDevilBrony]

Man, whenever I think of music in video games, I somehow keep going back to Left 4 Dead 2 of all things. I think the closest connection I can make to those kinds of music (subtle references by songs in other songs) is in the Dark Carnival campaign. When you play one of the various minigames in the carnival, a jolly old-school carnival tune will play. If you listen closely, you’ll realize that this is actually the Left 4 Dead 2 main menu theme playing but with a more “carnival circus” vibe to it.

[@koopaeliminator4148]

To clear up your confusion about Diamond Dust's reuse. Although Dash and Sochi Games did release very close together, the ice level in Dash wasn't added until a couple years ago. This is because Dash is still being updated to this day, they also added Mushroom Hill and Sky Sanctuary.

One of my favourite bits about the twinkle circuit music is that in addition to the panic puppet bit, it includes that game's "it doesn't matter" in its melody. It's a very fulfilling aural experience

16:38 this is probably already been brought up, but this remix was originally made for Sochi, the only levels in Sonic Dash before the 2017 4.0 update that added Sky Sanctuary and Snow Mountain were 3 variants of Seaside Hill (Seaside, Beach, and Temple, which all use the same, exclusive remix) and, 25th anniversary DLC Green Hill

There’s actually ONE more track from 3D Blast reused in a different game: Sonic Generations. The main/title theme from 3D Blast Saturn was remixed in “Mission 5: You’re My Hero”, and you can most commonly hear this track in Rouge, Cream, and Blaze’s helper missions.

[@cydrofx]

Pretty interestingly, a lot of the songs in the saturn version of 3d blast share melodies tying back to the game's main theme, which was also in generations for companion stages

[@Shadownnico]

Really liked this video! A lot of info in here was stuff I didn't know about :o As for other Sonic music trivia... Main ones that come to mind is the Biolizard's theme (Supporting Me) including a bit of Live & Learn, The ARK in Shadow the Hedgehog being a remix of Final Rush from SA2, and the JP opening to Sonic CD (You Can Do Anything) and Mecha Green Hill from Sonic Chaos being remixes of Green Hills Zone from Sonic 2 8-Bit
