[@de606returns6]

The entire OST gives me different vibes for each song even when I was a kid playing it for the first time and I love it for that, If I had to describe each of them, this is how I would: -The Intro Theme feels like the game is welcoming the player to rejoin their old friends (Sonic and the others) in a trip down memory lane and for another Adventure -The Menu Theme feels like the game is tempting the nostalgia inside, and bringing the childhood innocence within you to be revived so you can select the game you'll play and it's almost alluring and hypnotic with how ambient and catchy it is -The Options and Extras is a bit of an enigma, it has a sad undertone to it, as if it wants to remind you that (as sad as it is) you have grown up, or you are going to grow up eventually and you'll look back to the simpler and in some cases happier time, yet it also has a hopeful melody near the end as the music builds up telling you that you still can be happy -and The Manual Menu kind of has a simple yet energetic beat which makes perusing the manuals a newer experience, than it would normally -And the Credits feels like the game is telling you that you'll come back eventually which is why it's more upbeat than you would expect a Credits Theme to be, which is a trait Sonic Games always had (at least during this time)

Man I remember coming back from school when I had this game when I was around 14 years old and a huge sonic fan and this game got me onto the Sega genesis and other pixel games and man.. I used to come back to school boot up my ps2 and play it eveyday and hearing this makes me feel old. And looking at the comics and even the movies they had in their, good times man good times I also recently at this time of comment I bought the game again just to have it in my video game collection.

Anybody know this specific genre of music?

[@mosheahvows5071]

Vgm

[@katlicks]

Chill electronic It has orchestrated sections, too, but that doesn't disqualify it with hints of tropical steel drums. A lot of Japanese derived music that ended up in video games has roots in City Pop and Jazz, and then with Megaman we started to see introductions of Rock into the mix, so that "Video Game" sound ends up having a taste like Bossa Nova in it's flow ( See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGXPhKCqpM-lodU for what I mean by Japanese Jazz, it's got the same feeling you'd get in a sonic game or mario game, if you sped it up. Play it at 1.25 speed at 2:10 and 2:48 and tell me that doesn't sound like Japanese Video gamey music) but still has a bright sound (City Pop) with fun in it's composition and being able to swap in instruments and experiment in composition (Jazz) This specifically? I do not know, but "Chill Electronic" gets close. Has some of that bubbly personality without being too over the top. I do highly recommend checking out Japanese Jazz like Casiopea, and City Pop, if you like the "Video Game" sound, that's basically where it all started.

@@katlicks Learn something new everyday. I appreciate this a lot!

@@DellStarX I'm more than happy to share, dude, I highly recommend checking out some playlists with Japanese Jazz and City Pop, they give good and varied exposure to the genres so you can find the sounds you like, magicalmysterymix.bandcamp.com/album/80s-japanese-fusion-summer-mix-vol-1-new-version kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXnFnXSorrNljLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4Cbc5ilas-mgLM Here's three super good mixes that touch on all the genres and adjacent genres, jump around them, try listening to it on 1.25X speed, and you'll find lots to love.
