IIRC, "Hang Castle" is Tomoya Ohtani's only musical contribution to Sonic Heroes. As for "Mystic Mansion", that was composed by Naofumi Hataya & Jun Senoue.

Mentioning Tomoya Ohtani... I just went to a Sonic Symphony show in Boston last month, and he actually ended up being there, playing bass guitar. He wasn't even on the guest list, so it was a very pleasant surprise. I ended up being able to give him a high-five! Dude's one of many musical prodigies that has worked on this series.

I'm so glad you checked out these themes together! I don't want to spoil anything for you with VGM vibes so I'll keep this brief, but I did mix those tracks myself and I will say that the song doesn't always transition at the same point as it does in my vid, but I did my best to emulate that at a point in the song which made sense. As for the version at the end where they're mixed together, it is not like that in the game itself but there was a physical version of this game's soundtrack that did something similar but I couldn't find it online very easily, so I decided to replicate it myself to the best of my ability :) Mystic Mansion is an absolute banger also, it's definitely one of my favorite Sonic tracks but I think I have like 100 of those 😂 Sonic Heroes has an energetic OST overall but it does go for a few different moods that I enjoy quite a lot. I'm excited for you to hear more of its soundtrack in the future, as well as more Sonic in general of course!

@azellumius8835 3 ай бұрын

Hang Castle and Mystic Mansion are interesting because of how they do dynamic music. this gimmick is unique to these two levels only I think.... Hang castle is easy to see, the stage flips, the music changes, sadly it doesn't cross fade or anything, the music just restarts when it flips, there is a sound effect to helps with the sudden restart tho Mystic Mansion is substantially more interesting, the song is composed of multiple tiny short segments, it is not as easy to see when the transition happens since it is all so smooth, the game actively waits for the right moment to make the switch from a segment to another and if you are two fast it can skip around to the next segment as well since they all transition into each other at the loop point, there is a indication of where it tries to transition, it is always right at the end of a loop so they have a "riser"/"symbol" (or whatever musicians call it) right at the end of the loop, 13:31 is when you can hear a transition between two segments that exist for different purposes, could say where they plan but really a jump of intensity like that is self explanatory a lot of the time

@blivveries 3 ай бұрын

You might need to go play the game again, because Hang Castle definitely crossfades. The two "versions" of the theme line up perfectly for it.

@princeofhyrule2205 3 ай бұрын

Love sonic heroes. One of THE core childhood games for me

@Azdaja13 3 ай бұрын

Both your guesses for how the flipping mechanic in Hang Castle works were right: the switches are orbs you touch. The music change isn't seamless and technically there's loading but it's hidden by a ghostly visual effect that obscures the entire screen so you don't really see the loading. I don't mind it though. Mystic Mansion is definitely my preferred of the two, even if that level drove me insane as a kid. Sonic Heroes isn't formally split into Acts but effectively it is. There's different level themes (ghostly castle, ocean, city, jungle etc.) and each theme has two levels which basically function like Act 1, Act 2. The first level is usually much easier than the second (and Sonic Heroes has four different teams you play as which serve as difficulty modes). So Hang Castle is basically "Act 1" which introduces a lot of the level manipulation mechanics (which mainly consist of just level flipping) and Mystic Mansion is basically "Act 2" takes those mechanics further (where things in the level change position or change shape).

Mystic Mansion has specific parts in the mission that repeats certain parts of its soundtrack, the soundtrack itself is short, but other than looping the whole track, some parts are being looped to help with the flow and the mood of the level itself.

Sonic HEROOOOOESSSSS My very first Sonic game, I'll always have a love for this one. You play as 4 different teams, each with a "speed", "fly", and "power" member (example, as you guessed, is Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) It didn't call things "Acts" in this game, but each location theme is two level sets, followed by a boss, repeated 7 times

Wow You guessing that the state flips is really cool! The stage does literally flip when you hit certain switches and it plays the alternate theme when you’re running through upside down terrain (you aren’t upside down but the state doesn’t.) It has a very fun Halloween town styled stage. And I can only imagine the flip idea comes from the vibe of existing in the living world and the underworld parallel to each other.

Hang Castle is basically the game's anti-gravity level without actually being anti-gravity. The OST version of the song has a more unique way of merging the two songs. The cool thing about Mystic Mansion's music is that it's segmented and coded to play each segement depending on which area you're currently in. Hang Castle and Mystic Mansion are my two favourite Zones in Heroes.

I love the Heroes soundtrack. Especially Mystic Mansion, though the game has several tracks I love more (but the soundtrack is stellar). Also gonna recommend Alundra's "Nightmare" for the spooky vibes video. Can't think of a song that would be more deserving for it than this one. It's a contender for most unsettling song in all of gaming.

@PhirePhlame Ай бұрын

If you wanna know Hang Castle's gameplay gimmick, it's that every once in a while you'll come across special switches which literally _flip the whole level upside-down or back again!_ (On a more technical level, you're being warped between two versions of the level, one normal and the other inverted) Each of the two possible states has its own BGM, which get swapped anytime you switch between the two versions of the level. SonicJGB's got a good gameplay video of this stage in action. I think the mixed version at the end is based on what the official soundtrack CD does with these two songs.

@milesprower6110 3 ай бұрын

Sonic CD made the thing of stages having different songs (4 in total, time travel and good or bad future end for Act 3), then Sonic 3 & Knuckles made it so each Act of a Zone is different themes (while still having some resemblance), after that each Zone has a different name (Stages) and will have all levels a different song unless sharing the same level (like Adventure with Tails playing Sonic's stages) (Unleashed being an exception because of the Day & Night levels) but in Heroes is the closest you can take them as "Acts" even if they are not referred as such, because you get 2 levels that shares a common theme before a boss and changing locations. Edit: Everytime I listen to Heroes' OST, I cannot unhear at the background *_"ANNIHILATION!!!"_* and blast the screen with missiles and gattling gun shots Edit 2: I'm pretty sure Jun Senoue is the composer of 90% of the game... obviously the other part being Crush 40.

With Mystic Mansion, the transition is so freakin' cool: You have to figure out a way through the Mystic Mansion, and it will loop you through the same room again and again until you find the right way to the next room. The music reflects this, and so each segment of the song will loop until you move to the next room, where the loop is lifted and it will transition SEAMLESSLY to the next part of the song and start looping again. This game is one of the lesser Sonic games in terms of quality, but they got REALLY creative with how it works mechanically, it's so freakin' cool.

Hang Castle's music is unique in that both upside-down and rightside-up versions can be played at the exact same time and it'll still harmonize. That is what happened in the 3rd _third_ of that upload! =P Hang Castle is by Tomoya Ohtani, Mystic Mansion is by Jun Senoue and Naofumi Hataya! =)

More spoopy than spooky really. Eggman's haunted mansion themed base. Massive castle full of grinning robotic wizards and knights, flaming braisers in unnatural colours, dry dead trees dark stone bridges...and inside the mansion there are paintings and an old mineshaft. Mystic mansion is just ASKING for a dope haloween dance routine. Some real Thriller stuff. It is prety fun and not scary. Which is funny because there are ghosts in Sonic games too.
