[@pw5651]

10:06 。。。 I’m entering Twinkle Park 。 I’m breathless 。。。

[@casualwiifan]

The final track is an unused Knuckles variant for when playing a special stage. The used special stage track is the tails variant.

[@THSGC]

10:06 Is actually a scrapped special stage in this tape but it goes used in the final. Edit:For the intro and Panic Puppet

[@RoseSupreme]

@@THSGC Wait, Panic Puppet Act 1's track was meant to be a Special Stage theme? I mean, it sounds like it, but is it true?

Green Grove Zone at 1:42 is also shared with "the air... for windy valley (Sonic Windy Valley act 3)" Very cool

Side A 1. Opening (Short Ver.) 0:00 2. Opening (Long Ver.) 0:15 3. Power Up 0:44 4. Green Alley Zone Act 1 1:42 5. Casino Night Zone Act 1 4:26 6. Boss (Minor Key) 7:19 Side B 1. Boss (Major Key) 8:43 2. Special Stage 10:06 3. Bonus Stage (Miles) 13:08 4. Bonus Stage (Knuckles) 14:57 Composed by Jun Senoue *This is how these tracks are labeled on the original Demo Tape, with some of them having different names. Green Alley became Green Grove and Casino Night turned into Spring Stadium. The Special Stage theme was later used as Panic Puppet Zone Act 1 and Miles’ (Tails) Bonus Stage theme took the Special Stage's place, with Knuckles’ Bonus theme being left on the cutting room floor along with both Boss themes. These unused tracks later found new life, with the Knuckles’ Bonus Stage used for the Pleasure Castle section of Twinkle Park in Sonic Adventure (1998) and the Boss theme was used in Sonic 4 Episode I (2010).

[@a2lan123]

Panic Puppet Act 1 sounds almost exactly like Twinkle Park here.

[@stunnastream11]

ikr

[@SKOT_3]

That's because just like Green Grove, it's one of those tunes reused for Adventure.

[@backwardsface3046]

@@SKOT_3 what they mean is this version sounds like the adventure version

[@SydeLeaderRay]

It's almost uncanny. 😶

[@Matrix803]

He's more than likely using the same synthesizer/keyboard for both versions of the song. ;o

[@Matrix803]

I wonder what keyboard he's using here. o u o Also, holy shit-- Panic Puppet Zone's music literally sounds EXACTLY like the version in Sonic Adventure, just slightly faster and less embellished. XDDD

[@ThereGoesTokyo]

Korg 01/W and Roland R8 according to the remaster Nuclear did

[@kingkazma3246]

It's ironic that the Beta Eggman song here sounds way better than what we got in Sonic 4.

YESSSSSSSS! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

[@RaggyClone2023]

7:19 it reminds of the queen’s (kings) guards marching to it

[@quinnmcmurtrie8022]

Funny how this is all of Jun Senoue's working.

[@JerpyTH]

it seems that jun senoue has always used a midi to arrange his tracks.

[@BoredSquidward]

This is not midi, but the KORG 01/W synthesizer and the Roland R8 drum machine.

[@cameronjones7747]

I would have loved to hear the demo tape for dust diamond zone

[@NameChecksOut]

Or volcano valley, hell, even rusty ruin would sound sweet with a piano

Because it is.

Hi dude thanks for all the great uploads I read a comment of yours related to the Marsupilami romancing the clone episode that you have a recording of please upload i need to watch it have search everywhere cannot find it not even in another language please dude really appreciate what your doing

[@atechchuck]

Sorry, I dont plan on sharing it anytime soon. Reason is...well the tape was damaged in a flood. I fixed the tape but I am very careful with it. Maybe someday.

[@sulaimangangat8963]

These are specifically all Jun Senoue demos for this game. I don't think we have any demos from the other musicians.

[@alexkubrat3868]

BTW, we need these MIDI files!

no, we need a flac rip of the tape

[@zachatck64]

So was Green Grove Act 1, and the unused Knuckles special stage theme The unused boss theme though, that went on to be used in Sonic 4 Episode I

[@SleggarLawlz]

Thanks so much!!!

[@Crosby2016]

Cool

[@Yuushz80]

I feel really sad that they decided to use a completely different OST for the Saturn Version. I don't want to look down on Richard Jacques's work on the Saturn, but Japanese composers just knew how to make the catchiest tunes ever. None of the songs on the Saturn version are catchy at all. I'd've loved to see Senoue's work with unlimited hardware restrictions on the Saturn, really. The same goes for Sonic CD US version. I just can't understand how western composers think it's better to have a more ambient sound than catchy music. When we play Sonic we want to me immersed in this fantasy cartoonish world, but westerners tend to be overly realistic and it's just a bummber imho. Anyway, I'm really happy to see (or rather listen) to this tape to see Senoue's creativity not bound to any limitation. It's just fantastic!!!

[@Yuushz80]

Just to be clear: There are amazing western composers as well, just think about Tee Lopes: he's a genius!

[@shyguy85]

@@Yuushz80 he's not from america i dont think but yeah ive noticed american soundtracks go for more atmospheric feeling tracks. not a bad thing for most games tho, look at half life for example

[@Yuushz80]

@@shyguy85 totally agree with you. we can also use metroid as an example of the same generation. the point is: atmospheric soundtrack doesn't fit the tone of the franchise

[@gianni50725]

@@shyguy85 Yeah, that kind of soundtrack works really well for more mature/dark games. Another great example is the amazing Fallout 1 soundtrack, which is all ambient music, but completely immerses you in the game despite the limitations of 90s graphics. Metallic Monks, Flame of the Ancient World, and especially Desert Wind especially bring the whole dreadful world of Fallout to life. Never thought the sound of whistling wind could sound so creepy and depressing.

[@claykid]

how does it feel being objectively incorrect

[@pw5651]

The Boss theme sounds like a Blur song.

[@rileyalt1251]

I can see where you’re coming from but maybe a little more Madness than Blur. Serious Debt Collector vibes tho.

[@pw5651]

Well, I’ll need to check out Madness then. I’ve heard the name I think.

[@chibogoro2329]

would love to hear twinkle park in genesis form!

[@RylieCoombe]

The only music unused here is The Knuckles Bonus Stage, wish it would have been added but the opening to the game took up way to much space.

This cassette was literally owned by Jon Burton himself (director of Sonic 3D Blast). He uploaded some of the songs to his channel, GameHut.

[@williamshaikespire69]

From Jon Burton, it's a Tape that contains all of this music, that's why it has a bad quality
