Overall the Japanese soundtrack wins out more often, however, I'm not suggesting it's the best, only the one I prefer. The US soundtrack features more dark music with some laughter samples over the top, while the Japanese version has a goofy, upbeat tune with some voice samples for the main boss theme, which makes fighting Robotnik fun, and a haunting yet upbeat tune for the final boss. The Japanese soundtrack, however, goes with more traditional game style music that is upbeat and captures the level's mechanical nature. The Japanese version relies on a remix of Toot Toot Sonic Warrior while the US version creates unique, pulse-pumping tunes.Īgain the US soundtrack goes with the doom and gloom approach, which fits this stage more appropriately. Since the level is frustrating, the US soundtrack makes it more enjoyable, so I'm giving it to that.īoth soundtracks really deliver here, capturing the speedy and glitzy nature of the stage. The Japanese version conveys a monotonous feeling to the stage, making it a bore to play, while the US soundtrack captures the bouncy nature of the level. The US, on the otherhand, has a rocking opening number that fits with the mine's operations, while the future tunes add some mystique to the levels. The Japanese soundtrack delivers a good, but fairly generic set of tunes here that don't capture the essence of the level very well. It's one of my all time favourite songs from a game soundtrack. The US soundtrack is more thematically consistent, however, the Japanese soundtrack provides one killer of a main song for the present that captures the mood of the level brilliantly. Both soundtracks deliver atmospheric tunes that help to capture the ancient, underwater nature of the the setting. The Japanese soundtrack captures the vibe of the vibrant theme park while the US soundtrack has some depressing music that doesn't fit the stage at all.Īnother close one. The US soundtrack samples some drum beats to create a tropical paradise, while the Japanese version creates a similar lively atmosphere, albeit with more of a 'game' sound pallet. Here's a level by level analysis of the soundtrack:īoth Toot Toot Sonic Warrior and Sonic Boom are catchy main themes, however, I feel the former is more suited to the game, while the later, although great, is a little on the nose lyrically.īoth soundtracks deliver here.
