6:00 Pretty much the only reason why I keep listening to the Sonic Underground songs is whenever I get hyperfixated on Ed Edd n' Eddy, because Sonic's singing voice in Underground is quite literally just Double Dee's voice actor using that same voice in the context of it being Jaleel White Sonic's lead vocals. The two shows only premiered a few days apart from each other, too, and Double Dee is also shown being very talented with instruments, primarily a guitar. Not to mention, especially in the later seasons, he frequently has arguments with Eddy regarding their moral standards, so even the _lyrics_ are in-character. So, there's your silver lining, I guess; it's certainly mine.

Interestingly enough, there’s a story behind Chronicles’ horrendous ost. Bioware had a full OST for the game that they had to pull out at the last minute due to some apparent legal issues, and had to throw something together at the last minute, giving us the finalised, unfinished OST we have now. In regards to Chronicles’ finalised OST, it’s pretty horrendous, but being the first Sonic game I ever had, the soundtrack hits me with such a beautiful wave of nostalgia. Honestly I love Chronicles’ to bits, I sunk so many hours into that game it felt like such a big adventure, even if these epic fights had such terrible music playing over it, but hell, I was 5, I didn’t really grasp what constituted as “good” or “bad” music, but looking back I can definitively see how painful it sounds. The intro song still slaps tho.

[@CAMiStH]

[@Dark_0verlord]

I am extremely thankful that you didn't bring up Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. Sonic fans often lump that game's soundtrack among the worst in the franchise, but I simply do not agree at all. Sure, the majority of the soundtrack isn't very memorable or 'Sonicy', but the music at least sounds nice and is inoffensive (Every variant of Lyric's Lair and the final boss theme are the best tracks). Comparing Rise of Lyric's soundtrack to the examples you brought up in this video proves my point.

[@inkdragoon4547]

Personally, I would have brought up any of the faux-Mega Drive styled tracks composed by Jun Sunoe. Jun is well known for his incredible guitar tracks in games like Sonic Adventure. The thing is, every time he works on a game with classic Sonic style gameplay, such as Sonic 4, Sonic Forces, and most recently, Sonic Superstars, he opts to use a bunch of assorted synths meant to resemble Mega Drive sounds instead of using live instruments, and it doesn't turn out very well. Most of the time, the composition is pretty good, but its bogged down by the instrumentation. The instruments are usually harsh and grating. It just sounds off and doesn't capture the essence of classic Sonic music; it attempts to mimic the sound. The synths he uses aren't real Mega Drive synths, either. The one used in the second half of Fang's boss theme in Sonic Superstars is literally just a MIDI instrument from GarageBand. While most of the songs would be pretty good if they used different instruments, there are some that just don't work because the composition itself is bad. For example, the theme from Iron Fortress in Sonic Forces has weird pacing and points where several different instruments play completely different melodies at once with little to no cohesion, and the composition of the three boss themes he made for Sonic Superstars have really boring compositions. Fang's theme in that game is a legitimate contender for the worst song in the entire series! TL;DR: Jun Sunoe is a talented musician, but he needs to stick to live instruments and quit defaulting to the faux-Mega Drive synths whenever he sees classic Sonic.

More honourable mentions: Sonic Origins - Sonic 3&K Super Sonic theme. They remixed most of the beta Sonic 3 music to replace the copyrighted MJ songs, but butchered them so hard. The worst of these is the redone Super Sonic theme to make it sound "less repetitive", but the result is a lackluster version of the theme, & sounds so badly composed as well. The entire Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis soundtrack is terrible as well. It butchers the original Genesis/Mega Drive Sonic 1 music, plus, it has no excuse, as Sonic Advance 1, 2 & 3, & Battle have amazing soundtracks & did it so much better. Even the worst Sonic Battle song & Sonic Spinball on GBA's single song (literally just Toxic Caves) sound better in comparison.

CPU* - It sounds like Sonic being hit on the head by Amy's upgraded hammer from SA1 & seeing stars shortly afterwards over & over again *Sonic Spinball - Options* - I find this one actually amusing & hilarious to hear. YEAH, play that heavy guitar! I have to agree that the middle part is definitely discordant, though. *Sonic Chronicles - Every song in the game except intro* - Call it an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't say every song is horrible in the game; Blue Ridge may sound unfinished, but it is a pretty nice ambient remix of Diamond Dust Zone (Saturn). I also like the Mystic Ruins music as well. It sounds like a cool chase theme remix of The Final Fight from Sonic 3D Blast: Flickies Island. I have to agree on how bad Central City & Nocturne are, though. They're hilariously bad! They really butchered S3's Big Arms music & Sonic 3D Blast: FIickies Island's Diamond Dust Zone (Genesis/Mega Drive). The poor attempt at trying to make Sonic CD JP's Collision Chaos sound ancient as well sounds unfinished. *Sonic Jam on Game COM - Every song* - Never heard of it, but my GOD they do sound awful. No, the limitations of the console don't give it an excuse! Just listen to Megaman on the NES & some of the chiptunes on some Amiga games... *Sonic Underground - All Songs* - Hmm, not exactly a Sonic game OST now, is it? I do remember the intro, "Fastest Thing Alive" from the episode with the growth serum & HUGE FEET, "Let's Do It To It" from the Castle episode, & that "We Are Sonic Underground" from the Egypt pyramid episode (actually in this video).

I sort of agree, its a bit 2 hard on the Tesla Coil electricity sound but it 100% doesn't deserve the hate it gets Sonic Underground..... yah agree 100%..... the show could have been almost as good as Satam, or hell as "good" as Prime... if it bare minimum cut out the musical numbers! the only series I feel that has had a musical number that has been good, in each episode is Vivziepop's Helluva Boss lol

[@ChloeCommentss]

Honest opinion. Master System was avoided? Like, Master System Sonic isn't too hot imo. Even better with the Street Fighter 2 Master System Music. (good video)

[@ChloeCommentss]

Just hope you get more traction on KZbin. Your presentation style is really entertaining and I want more

[@CAMiStH]

Thank you so much, that honestly means a lot! I didn't include any MS soundtracks as I personally enjoy most of them, but I'll probably discuss their soundtracks more when I do a full retrospective of all those games. Mainly Sonic Blast, as that saw an MS release if I remember correctly.

Lmao upside smirk

[@leeeroyjenkins555]

Anything from the ds rpg

[@juliannocartagena2007]

Even the battle songs? And Blue Ridge Zone?

[@RakoonCD]

I like that sonic erazer song and the options. The worst songs are the most boring ones. Looking at superstars here. Oh shit never heard sonic jam's music lol.

[@CAMiStH]

Completely fair! I personally can't get into it, but Tee Lopes' rearrangement is fantastic.

[@tomhossain2099]

Almost dead from shadow the hedgehog is probably the worst shadow song

[@inkchariot6147]

The SA1 version of "Believe in Myself" is easily the fucking worst, what were they thinking?

[@CAMiStH]

Literally made the game unplayable, smh.

[@quagstar]

It isn't the worst song in the series by any means, but Town Mission 1 from Sonic 06 really gets on my nerves. The song is only just over a minute long, but the first 40 seconds of it is the same repetitive melody and it makes me irrationally annoyed. It might also be due to trauma from me trying to S rank all the town missions and having to hear it over and over lol

[@CAMiStH]

Yeah, repetitive melodies, combined with hearing it over and over again, does cause a song to start grating on you after a while lmao

[@amandamakin1542]

I am surprised no one mentioned the entire Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis (GBA) or the Sonic Origins Super Sonic theme from the S3&K part. It sounds AWFUL. I wasn't so keen on Forces OST either. Now I'm curious if there will ever be other games with other songs that usually sound good (such as Megaman) that secretly has awful songs (Megaman 7's shop & that one really bad port with ear-bleeding sounds that is called music).

[@deadasschannel730]

Nah i give the worst sonic song to station square in brotherhood

[@CAMiStH]

Completely valid haha.

A Clockwork Orange, one of Stanley Kubrick's best films!

[@Tjprower]

To be fair, though, the lionshare of these "bad tracks" are from "actually bad" or "lackluster" games, and the other is from one of the tv specials trying to be a musical. If the consistency of music matched the general popular take of the gameplay across the series, you'd expect way more examples of bad music. Can't argue too much with those brought up, however. There are some wins in these specific sound tracks, but most of them are pretty bad.

[@CAMiStH]

Very true, even in a bad soundtrack, there's one or two gems (except Sonic Jam for Gamecom, that's got nothing lmao)

[@polocatfan]

central city from brotherhood. though eraser comes close. I think brotherhood is worse because it was a game that more people were meant to play and had no reason to have music that was THAT bad. also yeah the spinball options theme is not THAT bad. it fits the tone of the game pretty well.

[@CAMiStH]

Definitely, I'm not sure how Brotherhood's soundtrack ended up the way it did. Can't be hardware limitations as Sonic Rush came out three years earlier and arguably has the best OST in the entire series. Spinball's options theme is very overhated, but I can see why some people aren't keen on it.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

Here is my pick for the worst track in any Sonic game: The midi version of the beta version of Knuckles theme from Sonic 3.

[@CAMiStH]

Oh, the one from Sonic and Knuckles Collection? Don't think it sounds too bad, personally! Prefer it with the Mega Drive instruments though.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]
