Green Hill Zone, Act 1 (Emerald Hill Zone Remix) - Sonic The Hedgehog 2: CD

I decided to name it Green Hill Zone as I think it fits how the zone was meant to be set in South Island and the level progression was going to be similar to Sonic The Hedgehog on SEGA Master System and later on SEGA Game Gear when the game was ported to it.
I blended the original song with Masato Nakamura's Demo while adding new things to it like the piano in the background. And as always I took the original instrumentation for the FM and remastered most of them with a synth I own.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this one and take care.

Another banger, the slow down makes it sound more relaxed too, idk like a stroll in the park lmao, good one!

[@RobinNerdington]

Thank you! I just really think some of the songs sound better with the original tempo from Masato Nakamura's Demos. And I added the strings from it as well.

[@Theguyfromtheinternet122]

Bro really used that -23 bpm from the betas🥶🥶 (great remix btw!)

[@teaoftraffic]

are we sure this is the correct song for this zone? i thought it was a remix of starlight zone

[@RatchetAndClank14]

What do you mean, if you mean that music playing in Nick Arcade, that song wasn't for Green Hill Zone because Nick Arcade used the soundtrack from Sonic 1 and Emerald Hill Zone (Green Hill Zone) had the same slot as Star Light Zone in Nick Arcade

Fun fact: There was actually going to be a Sonic 2 port to the Sega/Mega CD, Whoever, it was scrapped (possibly) since Sonic CD Was in the works, there is the possibility some of the scrapped concepts would be used in that port aswell.

[@RobinNerdington]

Plus, we don't see many people giving love to the SEGA CD or the 32X. I love both of those addons because of their sound chips alone. Here's a little spoiler... one (or more) of my tracks will use the SEGA CD's PCM sound chip.

[@lorddan171]

@@RobinNerdington Interesting, Also i do like the Sega CD, Since Sonic CD Has a special place in my heart, and the 32X Sound chip does sound good, although i prefer the Genesis sound chip

[@RobinNerdington]

@@lorddan171 The 32X doesn't change the sound chip, it adds more sounds to the two chips within the Genesis. It adds a PWM sampler and was mostly used for drums and sound effects. The SEGA CD had CD Audio but it also had a secondary chip that added 8 PCM channels of polyphony which is the same as the SNES but the samples play at a much higher sound quality. The Genesis by itself had 6 channels of polyphony for the FM synthesis chip and 4 channels of polyphony for the PSG chip (most people only use the 2 Square wave channels and the noise channel for some reason). So imagine adding 8 more sound channels to the Genesis with the SEGA CD, you could make a song using a variety of sounds and use the other two chips for sound effects, and vice versa.

[@Sticktoons-kd2tt]

And the genesis was cheaper than the Super Nintendo

[@Cretaceous158]

The world map for Sonic 2 in the concept art had a mountain layout almost exactly like Sonic 1 8-bit, so it might have been that South Island rose out of the water a little bit.

[@macesandtalons]

But in the final they take place on separate islands

When Wood Zone act 1

[@Theguyfromtheinternet122]

When you do come around to doing an act 2 of sand shower, I'd suggest doing a remix of aquatic ruin. Collision Chaos Radio pointed out that in the beginning of the theme, it has the western lil' thing.

[@RobinNerdington]

I already remixed Aquatic Ruin for Blue Lake Zone. Plus, there's no point in changing the song's theme between stages. Sand Shower's going to use Oil Ocean for both acts, and that's final. As for when I'll make Act 2... I'll do it eventually. I'm busy with another theme for the game and I got a couple ideas for a few others.
