@@sonicwhite91 Hey it is too. I never played Sonic CD, but if I had I would've immediately recognised the reuse of the Green Hills Zone theme. It's my favourite music from the 8-16 bit era of Sonic.

[@theonlystarman]

Why does everybody think it says "Sixteen Booty"? What does that even mean? Its saying "Getting in place"

[@tomsmart7908]

Amen

[@tylermannor4290]

My headcanon is that green hills is the place sonic was running through to get to never lake

[@aaalicethegoat]

Considering this game released before CD, it's entirely possible.

[@twinboo529]

Considering this game also takes place on South Island, I think this zone is a part of/near Green Hill Zone.

[@jordibond]

So sonic 2 from game gear would be Sonic's journey to reach the never lake and that's how Sonic CD would start?

[@tylermannor4290]

Sonic 2 vs Sonic Cd

[@cocatayor]

I noticed while seeing a playthrough

[@Pyro03333]

This came before cd though, so technically the sonic cd jp main theme is just this song

[@nimkiibineshi24049]

RIGHT!?

[@GerkIIDX]

Okay, story time. For like 15 years, my only exposure to the Sonic series' music was via Sonic 2 for Game Gear (packed in with that one MLB game in a bundle) and the 'true' Sonic CD OST as sent to me by some rando back in the day on AIM. So, for a decade I confidently (and incorrectly) assumed this was, like, _the theme_ of Sonic. Y'know, that one reoccurring song that would find its way into every game, kinda like how Mario has the Underground theme (or 1-1). I later learned that said tune appeared virtually nowhere else. Whoops.

[@gdst17]

It's kinda funny how Sonic doesn't really have a theme, unlike Mario. There's the title music from Sonic 1, but a fair bit of games don't have that music in any way, and it doesn't really _represent_ Sonic, at least the modern Sonic. There's also the Green Hill theme to some degree, but again, many games don't have that theme and it doesn't represent Sonic either. Mario's 1-1 doesn't really represent Mario either but it's a lot more closely tied to him than GHZ is tied to Sonic (perhaps because of how much Sonic games have changed with time compared to Mario). And of course there's It Doesn't Matter, but that's more of a theme for the character than a theme for the game franchise (and besides, It Doesn't Matter never really stuck as Sonic's theme after SA2, only appearing in cameos and the like).

[@PrinceDinoboy]

I'd consider his theme to either be "Theme of Sonic the Hedgehog" (Sonic 1&2 title theme) or "Sonic - You Can Do Anything". At least for classic Sonic. Sega probably thinks so too, as it's in every Sonic racing game and in the trailer announcing Sonic and Tails for Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania.

[@skye.xv88]

I mean, as said by others, Sonic doesn't really have a theme like that, but still this one is really close. It's in a ton of Game Gear titles, racing games, and the basis for the Adventure games' invincibility theme too among others, so really you weren't as far off

[@daviguilherme1287]

Well his theme is basically the green HILL zone so youre almost right

[@PiyuMusica]

Well, if you think about it, he kinda has a “theme” The chaos emerald noise for when you get it in the 16 bit titles is later reused as the life up theme, and the level ending theme from sonic 3 comes back in the future games as pretty much a staple sonic jingle.
