[@tailsoda9249]

Pretty much agreed with everything, I mean when it comes to music in sonic games, it never misses for the most part. Especially love how you put Space Trip Steps from SA2 instead of Escape from the City as that's definitely one of my favourite tracks from the game and is such a chill and relaxing track to listen to when I'm studying.

[@realnova7429]

While the attention to Sonic Generations is all focused on modern Sonic stages, rightfully, I have to say that I think the best ost is from a classic Rooftop Run, not only its very different from the original ost feeling less like a copy than others, but it's also one of the most unique and catchy ost ever, imo.

[@guyedwards22]

Makes a video about the best Sonic music Leaves out Sonic R and Sonic Rush, two games with some of the best scores in the franchise

[@garfieldodie3106]

I completely agree about Space Trip Steps. It used to be that people didn't like Knuckles' songs from SA2, but a number of years back when I replayed the game for the 3rd or 4th time I realized Knuckles' songs are all kinda banger and Meteor Herd had the best song by far. Edit: As far as Unleashed, I know it's not a "stage", but my favorite song is Holoska Night.

[@Yaboydelz]

This was fun to watch, its refreshing to see sonic videos that isnt ripping the blue blur to shreds and instead just fun topics to share. I agree with your rooftop run day take entirely. Its a fantastic song but it does overshadow the many masterful bangers the game has. And you also picked my favourite day track from my favourite sonic game so you have my certified approval. Good video 👌🏾

[@Plexi.T]

@Yaboydelz well I'm glad you enjoyed it, man 👍

[@Yaboydelz]

@Plexi.T I really did, even got me thinking what my favourite songs are from each game. Keep up with the vids 🙌🏾

[@infernape2010]

I honestly prefer Rooftop run from Sonic Generations and I'm more partial to the Nighttime themes for Jungle Joyride, Arid Sands, Windmill Isle, and Crimson Carnival (Eggmanland) My favorite Day theme is Cool Edge and it's always nice to meet another Sonic Unleashed fan

Sonic music has just been a part of our lives for so long. It is ICONIC, and every game (good or bad) always nails its OST.

[@boredom8807]

Gotta admit I prefer Generations remix of Crisis City over Escape from the City but can’t argue w the choice it’s an absolute banger

[@Plexi.T]

@boredom8807 That's an interesting take. I could definitely see why the insane glow up in Generations would be prefered

[@spooderman320]

​@@Plexi.TI don't think the Generations version is an "insane glow up." The 06 version is quite better

[@JackJQC]

@@Plexi.T I love the generations versions of crisis city because of the different feelings the two acts convey. Classic feels more filled with chaos and terror, and modern is more filled with a “I’m gonna fix this disaster”sort of feeling while also keeping it intense enough to show just how bad things are in the world and I absolutely love that.

[@the.bloodless.one1312]

3:03 Did bro just call the Megadrive sound chip “weak”? 😅 that sound chip produced some of the most hard hitting tracks of the 16 bit era! The Adventures of Batman & Robin OST! Earthworm Jim OST! Gunstar Heroes & Alien Soldier OST! Streets of Rage 1, 2 & 3!!! Etc. that sound chip was cutting edge at the time. Using FM synthesis that was popular in arcade sound chips of the time.

[@Veefive5]

Im not an audio guy so im not knowledgeable but ive heard from certain audiophiles is that the genesis soundchip was weak compared to its contemporarys like the SNES. But the fact that the composers could make those iconic soundtracks you listed despite the soundchip was what was impressive. Thats what ive always heard about the genesis soundchip anyway

[@the.bloodless.one1312]

@@Veefive5 ya what made the SNES sound chip more easily versatile was that it was a sample based sound chip that’s how you get from diverse sound like SMW to DKC out of the same sound chip, where the Genesis to put it in simple terms was like a synthesizer. But in 1988 when the Megadrive first launched, FM synthesis chips were all the rage in the arcade machines of the time, that’s why I say it was cutting edge to have that in a home console at the time.

[@LycanFerret]

I have always loved video game music and I very much remember just idling in Sonic Unleashed to bask in the music. Shamar hub night, Apotos day, Spagonia night, and Mazuri hub night are probably my favorites.

[@RossPetersMusic]

How did it take so long for KZbin to recommend this to me? Subbed! 🤘 I agree with a lot of your picks and even with the ones I don't agree with I totally get why you picked them. Your explanations of each track is superb, I love how you talk about how the vibe of the tracks match the gameplay instead of only talking about the tracks in a vacuum. Awesome video! 😎

[@razor8304]

I feel like Sonic Gen’s soundtrack is being vastly underrated here, like City Escape is a very respectable choice and given the day I’d even agree with you, but saying it’s not close is undermining every other amazing song in the ost. Great vid though, and I do appreciate you going with the non obvious song for most of the games

[@Plexi.T]

@razor8304 Thanks for the insightful comment. I mainly went with city escape to make up for my transgressions with SA2s top pick 😅

[@PokekaiPJNew]

Desert Ruins Zone 1 is what you’re thinking of. It’s great!

[@blueberrycake2272]

I love all of these songs! my fave in mania is blossom haze from press garden act 2. studiopolis is amazing, but idk what it is, there's this feeling I get whenever I listen to blossom haze that no other song from mania touches. especially the bridge and chorus. those parts just make me feel things. btw this isn't my bias for press garden as a zone speaking, I just love a lot about press garden, haha. probably the only case where I disagree on this list, and ur pick is still a very close 2nd for me. it's a testament to how great mania's ost is. great video! I just subbed

[@SFproductions1]

Kingdom Valley is the best stage theme of all time IMO good video!

[@KISSArmygroupie]

YES. Agreed with your pick for Sonic Lost World! Sea Bottom Seague is just..so relaxing. I love using it to decompress :)

[@RedRag684]

This guy Has a legendary list but once he said mechanical resonance for SA1, i knew he was going to give this list justice. Nice video!

[@mojojojox5043]

I'm gonna strongly disagree with your take on the Sonic Heroes ost. I think it's better than the other Sonic osts in the Adventure era, SA1 has quite a few songs that fail to stick with me and SA2 has too many songs that end up blending together. I can't differentiate Tails and Eggman's level themes from memory and I've listened to SA2 several times. Every level theme in Heroes is it's own thing, they all sound different from each other. Compare Mystic Mansion, Frog Forest, Casino Park and Seaside Hill, they all have their own sound. Let's not forget the ost also gave us not one but two Crush 40 songs. Not only does it give us two Crush 40 songs but it gave us the best Crush 40 song they've made to this day. Other than that it's a fine enough list.

[@UltimatumDemon]

[@insomniasz]

man you're so real for space trip steps IT'S TOO GOOD

[@ChrisGrav11]

Meteor herd slaps frfr

[@KimberlyFaith260]

Ok, a few takes. 1. If you play Sonic Unleashed on the Wii enough, there is a point where in the Arid Sands daytime level that you will wall jump at the perfect time when the music syncs. It’s so good. 2. Jungle Joyride-Day is an excellent pick for Unleashed. It perfectly showcases the pure euphoria from playing a high speed Sonic game. You pretty much can’t go wrong for the whole soundtrack, although I would honestly pick Eggmanland-Day. Not only is it just a straight up banger, if you picture Sonic, a living creature, as the piano, the only naturally sounding instrument in the track, surrounded by the metallic environment (metallic sounds from everything else), you have a sense of being overwhelmed yet it all blends so well together, it is almost like Sonic is weaving through the cracks. The piano isn’t exactly drowned out by the other instruments, just more so small, and still plays along with them, think like Sonic in this trap Eggman set up for him.

[@djdrizzy9139]

Part 2 NEEDS to include the handheld games, like Sonic Rush. That game's soundtrack is so good!

[@Chilled-Mocha]

I personally would've probably picked Kingdom Valley over Crisis City, but i can definitely see why Crisis City would be the best, even i have it as my favourite sometimes

[@JohnIvory713]

Cannon’s Core > City Escape > Meteor Herd But also: “Chaos Angel Zone”( acts 1 & 2) from “Sonic Advanced” are the best Sonic stage songs of all time and it isn’t even particularly close

[@thelustykhajiit6503]

My pick for SA2 would honestly go to Mad Space, I love the Rouge stage themes in general. The violin really adds to the atmosphere of the stage and fits the fantastical/fantasy nature of the stage. 06 is really hard to choose, but outside of Crisis City and Kingdom Valley I would go with Aquatic Base, both acts. The stage in general is one of my favorites, and the music is so atmospheric.

[@alphabae7512]

I really don't like how any time someone brings up the ost of Unleashed they never address the absolute god tier night tracks. They are all massively underrated as a result. (also yes Terminal Velocity is a based take, very underrated.)

[@Plexi.T]

@alphabae7512 yeah, I'm sorry about that. It never even crossed my mind to mention them, even though I listen to them all the time. I guess it's just because the horrendous battle theme constantly interrupts the beautiful night themes, causing them to become less memorable.

[@jamainegardner4193]

​@@Plexi.TShamar hub night?

[@TheGerkuman]

The Mega Drive may have technically had a weaker chip the SNES but honestly on a head-to-head matchup they weren't vastly behind. It was just more difficult to program than many musicians needed (especially in the west, where most of the musicians hired weren't also programmers), so they ended up using GEMS and it really shows. Some artists now are doing amazing things with Deflmask, since the tracker program does a lot of the heavy lifting for you whilst not having bad presets.

[@ShadowOfMassDestruction]

Aquarium Park from Sonic Colors got me daydreaming while the console is running, I love that song so much. Edit: Holy I cannot give you enough praise for that Quartz Quadrant Good Future take, that song and stage always gives me that nostalgia from my childhood.

[@Rockifcation563]

Space Trip Steps is definitely one of the best vocals tracks in SA2. Excellent choice; not gonna list all but my select few: S2: Mystic Cave 2p version S3: Chrome Gadget SA2: Metoer Herd or Mission Street Heroes: Mystic Mansion Shadow: Sky Troops S06: Tropical Jungle - The Swamp Mania: Everything but honestly Mirage Saloon Act 2 is the standout. Frontiers: it goes to the lesser favoured Pinball or Picking Weeds mini game

[@Megapig9001]

Mechanical Resonance is an Inspired Pick. As soon as it started playing, I started head bopping

[@Plexi.T]

@Megapig9001 is truly an immaculate piece of music. It's definitely one of my favorite final level themes in the game

[@KrullerAX]

I think you're a bit harsh on Heroes' soundtrack. It is different from the Adventure games because imo it was supposed to both give a similar vibes that those games had while paying hommage to the classics, hence the more vibrant and varied composition. Furthermore, Heroes has some powerful bangers : Egg Fleet, Egg Emperor, Mystic Mansion (as you mentioned), Ocean Palace etc.

Thank you for saying what you said about Sonic Forces Sound Track. It is at least top 3 one of the best Sonic OST. It just sucks that it was wasted for this Sonic game when it definitely deserves to be on something better. It's like it wanted to tell a whole different story but it couldn't.

[@ShTHfan1]

Personally speaking, my list looks something like Sonic 1 - Labyrinth Zone Sonic 2 - Mystic Cave 2P Sonic CD - Stardust Speedway ~ Bad Future (JP) Sonic 3 - Endless Mine Sonic & Knuckles - Sky Sanctuary Sonic Adventure - Sky Deck Sonic Adventure 2 - Either City Escape or Metal Harbor Sonic Heroes - Mystic Mansion Shadow the Hedgehog - Lost Impact Sonic '06 - Kingdom Valley Sonic and the Secret Rings - Unawakening Float Sonic Unleashed - Cool Edge (Day) & Jungle Joyride (Night) Sonic and the Black Knight - Crystal Cave Sonic Colors - Aquarium Park Sonic Generations - City Escape (Classic) Sonic Mania - Chemical Plant Act 2 ...And as for the rest, I would genuinely need to listen to the entire OST to figure that out because I've either forgotten every song I'd heard in the game or haven't played gotten around to playing it yet. So I'll add in some other miscellaneous favorites instead. Sonic Spinball: Toxic Caves Sonic Riders: Babylon Garden Sonic Rush: What U Need Sonic Unleashed (Wii): Gaia Gate Sonic Generations (DS): Big Arm The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog: Can I say Final Boss Minigame? I'mma say Final Boss Minigame. I can't not say Final Boss Minigame.

[@eulermachado3968]

I think generations is a VERY HARD one, I could go with the chosen one of the video or crisis city act 2, but my hot take is that rooftop run act 2 is the most brilliant of them all. But yeah, I think theres a lot to choose from. The one from SA2 really got me, I didnt expect. I think its only an average song of a great OST game, I wouldnt even choose it for the most iconic for Knuckles, I think Pumpkin Hill is better. City Escape is now a big classic, but I really enjoy Eternal Engine for Tails, its a very wild pick, I know, but there are so great songs this game. Oh yeah, Studiopolis in mania absolutely nailed it. That song hits different.

[@Sly88Frye]

20:44 Not a single night-time stage theme you would consider? I actually think the night time stage theme for adabat jungle is quite good. Yes then night time stages don't have its exciting of music as the daytime stages but they should be at least considered because some of them are actually really good. Spagonia for example I think has a really good sounding night time stage thing

[@darrylhurtt4270]

I aint saying its gotta be anyone's favorite, but am I the only one who thinks the Arid Sands Day theme from Sonic Unleashed absolutely rules??

[@tjpat209]

I agree with not covering EVERY Sonic game in existence, but I strongly feel that 3D Blast should have been included here, especially with the 2 remixes from SA1 both included in this video as honorable mentions. Nonetheless, I have my personal list of favorites from the Sonic games that I played below (Up to 06 and including 3D): Sonic 1 - Green Hill Zone Sonic 2 - Sky Chase Zone Sonic 3 - Ice Cap Act 1 S&K - Lava Reef Act 2 (My all time Sonic fav) Sonic CD (US) - Stardust Speedway Bad Future Sonic CD (JP) - Tidal Tempest Present SA1 - Twinkle Park Pleasure Castle SA2 - Sky Rail Sonic Heroes - Bingo Highway Shadow the Hedgehog - Gun Fortress Sonic 06 - Crisis City (Whirlwind) And lastly.... *Sonic 3D Blast - Diamond Dust Act 1* Everything else following I never played, so I can't give my opinion on what's the best or not.

[@Kris_Bass]

Choosing Quartz Quadrant good future over Stardust speedway is such a ball knower move. QQ GF is the best theme in CD easily.

It's really interesting how no one is mentioning "Imperial Tower" from Sonic Forces. It's one of the best soundtracks in my opinion and one of the few levels I've "replayed" (more like just standing and listening) due to the song

[@Sly88Frye]

11:02 Actually I think meteor herd is a more appealing song than escape from the city. Look it's an enjoyable song but if I was hearing that song for like 10 minutes straight I think I would get tired of it. Meteor herd I don't think I'd get as tired of and if I did it probably would take maybe like a half hour or something. It's got that calm rhythm that is easy to hear.

Its a masterpiece) Sonic Colours: Planet Wisp Act 3 (Favourite sonic song in the series) Sonic Generations: Green Hill Modern Sonic Lost World: Sea bottom segue Sonic Mania: Press Garden Act 2 (Honorary mentions: Studiopolis Act 2, Stardust Speedway Act 1) Sonic Forces: Mortar Canyon Sonic Frontiers: not sure Superstars: not sure

Fun fact: the producer for Sonic 1 is a huge fan of RnB music so he based the song for Spring Yard zone off of "Every Little Step" by Bobby Brown.

I knew you were going to pick Mechanical Resonance! It's one of, if not the best songs in the game

I dont think I've ever seen someone only list the stage tracks. Honestly, it's a unique video idea. These would be some of mine. I haven't played every Sonic game, but I have listened to some tracks STH- Scrap Brain S2- Mystic Cave S3- Ice Cap S&K- Sandopolis SA- Emerald Coast SA2- White Jungle SH- Ocean Palace (never played) S06- Flame Core (all so good) SU- Rooftop Run SC- Sweet Mountain Acts1&4 (all great) SG- Rooftop Run (again) SLW- Windy Hill (never played) SM- Press Garden (Act 1 more) I have played Forces once (never again, almost beat it), but I can't even remember any to chosoe from. They're good, though. Frontiers is impossible for me to pick due to how forgettable the levels are. I can't pin down my favorite tracks. Never played Superstars. Loved your list, man. Your take on Rooftop Run physically hurt me, though (that's my favorite Sonic stage of all time), but it's all good, though. Keep up the awesome Sonic content, dude!

I really like your list here. It's full of unique and engaging choices, besides rooftop run, of course (jk jk). Thanks for the kind words, I hope you stick around for more, mate 😊.

Did you seriously pick the most obvious songs and pick Rooftop Run for both Unleashed AND Generations?? Like Jesus, pick a different song for generations AT LEAST.
