Ice Cap Zone Remix - Sonic 3

Sonic 3 - Ice Cap Zone Remix. I tried really hard NOT to make a dance remix of this theme but it was unavoidable. I wanted to keep it pretty basic but have it sounding clean, clear and relaxing.

Ice cap zones theme should have been in the live action movie at the snowboard scene.

[@nthgth]

Maybe in the 3rd movie... (But I doubt it)

You've bit hit by, You've been struck by, A Blue Criminal!

[@ColossusSteppes]

+Trumanbro _ Isn't this song closer to "Who Is It" sped up?

[@cius2112]

+SpyroCoolLP no, it has nothing to do with any MJ song. Brad Buxter originally composed the song back in the 80's for his band the Jetzons. It was called Hardtimes but was never released. He reworked it into a eurodance track for Sonic 3 after Micheal Jacksons music was pulled from the game due to a certain scandal.

[@haggisnoodles9455]

+Pass_the_M According to a Japanese magazine, Jackson's music was never pulled from the game...

[@cius2112]

HaggisNoodles lol stop. Roger Hector the Executive Coordinator for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and General Manager of Sega Technical Institute already stated that they where removed and it created huge issue. Why do you think that there are like 9 people credited with the music? Normally just one person composes the soundtrack but obviously they needed new songs and where running up on deadlines so they hired a bunch of people to get it done.

[@haggisnoodles9455]

Pass_the_M If that is so, why are some of the songs still in the game and replaced with generic crap in the PC version?

makes sense bc ice is the theme for ICE cap zone

[@samuelgiles7571]

Almost feels like a disco remix of “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson, who obviously contributed to Sonic 3’s soundtrack

[@AS42100]

While the bass line happens to be similar, and the pad in the background throughout much of the song happens to sound like Who Is It, the actual song Ice Cap is based on is a then-unreleased track by the Jetzons called Hard Times. So while it’s true that Michael Jackson did do some of the tracks (ex: Carnival Night) Ice Cap isn’t one of them.

No, the song is based on Hard Times by the Jetzons and is done by one of the band members, not MJ.

[@kitahoshi6637]

Smooth criminal's bass is COMPLETELY different from Ice Cap's bass.

[@emeliep5827]

Kita Hoshi No not really.. in fact, Smooth Criminal was the inspiration of making Ice Cap. if you arent 100% tone deaf. you can probably hear it but in a higher BPM and very slightly diffrent... so Nuh.. its not COMPLETELY diffrent xP

Well, you've done a great work. You did just what you wanted, a dance remix done equilibrately. And it's great. It's the perfect mix into dance music and dreamy music. Hope SEGA someday make a contest for fans to send remixes, arrange and original music with credit and awards for the winners.

[@warioland523]

Ripper Roo Reviews I have to disagree. This was one of the easier levels but it was also one of my favorites. Loved the atmosphere and music for it. As for hard levels I would have to say Launch Base at least in the original Sonic 3 levels though the full game has harder levels after it like Sandopolis and of course the Death Egg itself. Carnival Night can also be tough if you don't know the trick that you can press up and down on the d-pad while on the stationary drums to move them since you have to do that at one point in order to progress.

Quick Review This is one of the only remixes that captures that "echoey icy" feel that the original had and enhances it without over doing it,like hitting right on target..and adds some of that "dance" touch to it,like making the beat better too..if Sega did remake Sonic 3 I'd demand this song be placed on Ice Cap Zone 10/10 good job m8
