What about the original Sonic videogame music? 🦔🎮🎵
Man… asking me what my favourite MegaDrive Sonic soundtrack is like asking a six year old what their favourite ice cream flavor is. I love it all.
Sonic music is a core part of the franchise identity, which is why it’s almost always really good. If had to pick one for now I’d say Ice Cap zone from Sonic 3: A classic piece which hasn’t gotten as much attention as others:
Bonus: Acapella version.
First videogame i ever played, at 3 years old, ’cause who needs to actually know how to play and complete the game when you have cheat codes? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 has one of the coolest soundtracks ever, and that opinion hasn’t changed in almost 2 decades 🎮🎵
The Best of Crush 40:
Man, I miss these guys.
Ori and the Blind Forest
Another game where I loved the full soundtracks are the Metroid Prime trilogy: Easily some of the best games I have ever played and are among the few games I have 100% completion on.
Having the main theme of each game play at the end credits was satisfying, as your long, solitary journey of endurance came to a conclusion. Kenji Yamamoto’s score is a xenophilic delight.
My fave Sonic Rush track 🦔
I’d play as Blaze a lot ’cause she started with the level that had this soundtrack 🐱
Classic Halo tracks, Halo 3 was GOAT.
Also Halo 4’s OST deserves a special mention. I know people missed Marty O’Donnell, but I enjoyed Neil Davidge’s and Kazuma Jinnouchi’s new takes on the series.
Master Chief got the truly heroic theme music he deserved.
One of my favorite videogames of all time 🐰 I distincly remember saying to myself while playing “i aspire to reach the level of stupidity of Rabbids”, ’cause that’s a perfectly normal life goal for a pre-teen to have 😂
Well, this is an… interesting… choice of music for a Sonic game.
I guess you could say Blaze was feeling hot under the collar.
I regret nothing.
I didn’t get what you meant by “interesting” and “hot”… then i got to the end of the track :O
Yeah, I definitely don’t remember that from the game.
Talk about getting crap past the radar.

As a kid I loved the Adventure fields in SA1. It wasn’t complicated world building or anything, but this felt like a world Sonic and co. lived in. Exploring everything the game world had to offer and discovering a few secrets made for some great downtime between the action stages (fun fact: SA1 was originally envisioned as an RPG during development, which explains why they weren’t simply tiny hub worlds). I’d love it if Sonic Team went back and made a world like SA1’s but bigger and better, with more to do.
Shenmue’s soundtrack is aural heaven.
