@@RonFnf983 interesting fact about this track, it's the only MJ track not based on an existing song. Sure it samples Peter Piper by Run DMC, but it's not based on any song.
Carnival Night is based on Jam, Ice Cap is based on Hard Times (by The Jetzons), the ending theme is based on Stranger in Moscow (song was written in 1993), and Knuckles' theme is based on Blood on the Dance Floor.

I used to think that instead of "Go go go," the DAC said "Go Robo." It made sense to me that the Launch Base music would support Robotnik.

You can completely tell where Sonic 3 ended and MJ's influence on the sound track died in the & knuckles portion because we don't get any more near voice clips. Like "Go go go!" Etc that were always so amazing as a kid.

In case you are wondering, the reason MJ's launch base is "underappreciated" is because most of the players back in the day lost their sense of hearing due to the heavily compressed dac channel.
