Sonic Pocket Adventure's Recycled Music

In this video, I demonstrate the music that have been resued and recomposed for the SEGA video game called Sonic Pocket Adventure released for the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 1999. This video shows the music that sound similar to the previous sonic games during the classic era. Enjoy.

I think many people don't realize that Sega didn't actually make this game. It was SNK and Sega just gave them rights to produce the game. But I'm sure SEGA helped with the development. SNK had their hands full with the release of the Neo Geo Pocket and probably didn't have time to make a completely new Sonic game. Had the NGPC been more competitive with the Game Boy Color we probably would of seen new Sonic titles made from scratch. Sadly it had way too short of a life span.

Some of the original 16-Bit tunes were clearly better. But surprisingly I preferred the 8Bit versions on some. Also to the people criticizing the reused music.. SNK didn't have much time to write completely new music and it was safer and easier to convert already known tunes.

[@theoneandonly-qs1uw]

people complain about the reused music? stuff like desert palace (ow the pitch on the 16-bit version) are way better in this game than the original game they were used in

[@ProjectSparkTM]

Part of me wonders why they chose Sonic 3 music for this, instead of the more accessible Sonic 1+2 soundtracks. Maybe it's because of the era this released in [1999], or the musician really liked Sonic 3, but whatever the case may be, this is one of the strangest games in Sonic's history. A game in 8 bit with sonic 2 and 3 assets, sth3 music, and on the neo geo pocket at the turn of the century.

I don't like that they recycled the music for this game from Sonic 3 and Knuckles, especially the boss music. The special stage music and Neo South Island Act 1 music are not bad for the game though, since Sonic Sega Saturn video games are a bit underrated in my opinion. While the Saturn games are underrated, Sonic Game Gear games are definitely underrated.

I do like that they recycled the S3K music. Since they barely use any music from that game nowadays. Plus I get to hear them in 8-bits style.

8:56 It's actually the bonus stage of the slot machine that appears in Sonic & Knuckles but with a pitch similar to the one from sonic 3 -._-. 16:02 And this would be actually act 2 instead of act 1, since the music has a high pitch and it's more faster than act 1, just like act 2

@@Turbulation1 Since sega is cheap, they rather pay Nakamura only on rereleases of the first two games, and chooses to avoid using any of the songs they don't own on future games, with some exceptions like advance 3, generations, ect. Also worth mentioning that the drowning theme wasn't made by Nakamura, but by a (back then) sega employee, Yukifumi makino. That's why they keep reusing it.
