So in video game music, this is common: note how they create tension with like a minor or a flat, and then they resolve it very quickly. This is meant to mirror the fact that, in games, there’s often these little moments when you’re playing that have a bit of a struggle followed by success. These moments in gameplay and in the music both happen fairly frequently, so sometimes they coincide. It feels really cool when they do, and that’s no accident. To quote Harry Plinkett: “You may not have noticed, but your brain did.”
You maybe correct. This track is quite amazing. However this track as good as it is kind of fails, as does the stage it is in. It does not emphasis speed. Sonic is all about speed and this track is the opposite of that. It's all bout rushing tension to a climax. Sonic tracks need to hit you in the face from the start with power, speed and all that stuff.
OMG MARBLE ZONE ! ! The only zone in the game where you had to take your time. I hated this frickin zone lol. It was all about timing. Prefect jumps and landings. For a guy called Sonic, this must've sucked for him too :)
Daiymian Man i used to think i was the only sonic game playing music freak! what was it about them Sega genesis tunes that had us hypnotized and on geek mode? you know the revenge of Shinobi" and Batman CD" was another of the many good sounds Sega had. you got any more favorites? let me know lol"
This zone was one of my favorites as a kid. Now I have a daughter of my own, and I play her lullaby compilations of video game music. I heard this song come up and wracked my brain to remember the zone name. I couldn't remember the name, but I could never forget the level layout or the music. An absolute banger, as well as one of my core memories, from a franchise as old as I am. 1991-2023 gang
MY GOD!! It has been 19 years hasn't it?? It still honestly seems like only a few years, cos these side scrollers are still good enough to be entertaining nowadays. Plus the music is timeless too
This is the song that played in my head when I lost my best friend as a kid. And then it just kind of stuck with me as a saying good bye/sad nostalgia song. I don't know why, but that's just how my brained ended up being wired.
Life was hard for my family when I played this game back in the 90's I had to walk many kilometres just to play the game.. as a Nigerian I was a nerd when I play games then...
I damn near cried when I found this for some reason I thought this song came on when you were in the oil level. I'm 35 years old and the riff at 0:30 cames in my head at the most RANDOM times I kid you not! It's just such a bad ass riff I swear.
I feel so fortunate to have grown up during the golden era of gaming (1991-2001, IMO) and being able listen to these classic tunes brings back great memories. Thanks for the upload.
It's not bad because of difficulty. It's slow in a game designed to be fast paced. Aside from the music, I found the stage extremely tedious and boring
@@cathacker13 Okay and... 🤨 Some people can’t go too fast on certain lvls if you know your not that good on a level then you shouldn’t go running so damn fast because you will end up dying tf🙄

I have coined the phrase "Pull a Marble Zone" Basically, it means to send your game into a screeching halt by adding level design or mechanics that goes against everything you have been advertised and everything you have been playing up until that point.

I've never played as a kid but i decided to go back in history, long story short, i have it on my phone. If it was hard on the original game, its 10x's harder on the phone....
I've always be a hardcore Mario fan until just recently when my friend lent me his Genesis. And looking at that badass blue hedgehog spinning around like crazy made me realise that Mario is in fact only a sad italian plumber.
...A sad Italian plumber that rescues princesses every game... *in 3D.* *USING THE SAME STYLE FOR EVERY 3D GAME.* I know you wrote this nearly a decade ago, but, dude, with the games Mario's putting out, you could not have worded that any better. Granted, Sonic's also had his flaws too (Sonic '06, Sonic Boom and all of its games, SONIC FORCES!!!!), but compared to the Mario games nowadays, that's NOTHING. Nearly 40 years (1981) since Mario's first entry and he's already weakened... The winner could be anybody. Ristar, Ecco, Alex Kidd, Mario, Sonic, the Ninja Turtles, it wouldn't matter. SEGA seriously needs to step their game up if they wanna beat Mario. Sonic Mania just isn't enough. Me, and all of the Sonic fans, we SERIOUSLY need a game that feels like an ACTUAL Sonic game. If the fans can make a 3D Sonic game and get praise for it, then SEGA can too! They just need the right amount of money given to developers for it.
@@angelayoung2879 There's so much wrong with this. The "Mario vs Sonic" fiasco died decades ago, so comparing them should stop too. Nearly every single 3D Mario game is considered some of the best games of all time while Sonic's are the opposite. The only recent Sonic games that are good are the ones that use heavy amounts of nostalgia, Mario not even using that. I could go on but it's probably a waste of time talking to you.
AngelDemon excuse me?? I had never played a Sonic game before except for M&S At The London 2012 Olympic Games, and I picked up Sonic Mania and had a blast with it. Sonic Mania is a great game regardless of nostalgia. When Metal Sonic burst through the floor and the music was like DUN DUN DUN DU DUN DU DUUUUUUUUN I knew I’d be in for a great boss fight. After I defeated Metal Sonic after 2 continues (lol) I reached Hydrocity Zone Act 1&2, and I was like "MAN this music is phenomenal" and then Mirage Saloon Act 1 (K) started after beating HCZ (My first playthrough was with Knuckles) and I was amazed at how well it captured the atmosphere of the morning desert. Then came Oil Ocean, Lava Reef, Hidden Palace, Metallic Madness (One of my favourites in the game) and Titanic Monarch. I got Sonic Mania Plus and loved Mighty, Ray and Encore Mode, however, I failed to get all the chaos emeralds after completing both Mania and Encore modes... and then I realised that the Heavy King was the true villain behind it all as he stole the Phantom Ruby at the last second and juggled the Chaos Emeralds in his hands in front of me!
Ah, my favorite song of Sonic 1. Hell one of my favorite Sonic themes in general. Not a fan of the level itself but the theme is so somber sounding I fall in love with it the first time I heard it and I can’t explain why. Then again, I’m a sucker for a good melancholy/atmospheric track. I don’t know they’re just my aesthetic I guess. XD
Marble Zone was never my favorite Sonic zone. I mean, yeah, in a game where the whole premise is “go fast,” an entire zone mainly focused on platforming, waiting, and timing is kind of a bad idea. But this music. This is single-handedly one of the best songs in Sonic 1, only barely being beaten by Star Light.
You're not because Masato Nakamura seemed to be inspired by other songs like Planet Earth Duran Duran Final Boss, Best Of My Love The Emotions Labyrinth.
I wake up with this melody playing in my head sometimes semi-frequently. It's been happening since I played the games as a kid. It wasn't even one of my favorite levels. I was always more of a Sonic 2 kid, ya know? But I guess my brain just clung to this tune for some reason?? Catchy little number, for sure. Just not my favorite. 🤔
I know a lot of people think that this song has a Greek vibe to it, but personally, it makes me think a lot of Romania. I would love to know what do other fellow players think. Thanks.
Usually game soundtracks are in the Major mode and that makes them sound happy. This one is in A Minor and even has a flat 1 at one point. That's why it sounds depressing. You can search "Marble Zone in Major" and find a happier version of this.
My Cousin always knew the passwords to enter debug mode back when we had to look in books to get passwords. We were kids, I was like 7 or 8 and he was like 13. I miss him. He died back in Nov 2016. This song reminds me so much of him. I really love the nostalgia and the thought of my cousin. Miss him so much. He would be 35 today. May God rest his soul. Please, cherish your loved ones while they're here. Tomorrow isn't promised for anyone.
I got here from watching The Office season 7 episode 22, Deangelo Vickers (Will Ferrell) is whistling this song in the break room about 10m 30s into the show. I immediately recognized the song at 35 years old from playing this game in 1993. Impressive or sad, either way, this takes me back :D
When I was a kid I could never make it past this level.
I hope you're trolling.
Did you plug your jostick? lmao

***** Me neither
Same here haha
I always thought this song was a bit melancholy.
Exactly, there is a dramatic tone to this song, like things are not so good.
CampingMIG I don't blame you, I find the Spring Yard Zone tune menacing.
Same
"Everything She Wants" by Wham!
they just somehow sound so similar to me
Its the first zone you go to that is destroyed; the music fits the tone of it.
0:30 - 0:39 will always be one of the smoothest pieces of music in gaming.

Thank you for time stamping it and yes i agree
If it wasn’t for the music I would’ve hated marble zone so that really comes to show how much the music in a sonic game matters
It's not even a pretty zone. It's so ugly but the music alone makes it my favorite part of the game
yep
just like how i hated hotland in undertale
but damnit another medium is too good
agreed
@@comradecrimsonsmaidenporiu8766 yeah because Robotnik just got done destroying it

This song has been in my head all day.
It been in mine my whole life
I wasn't the only one??
Yes me too
Yeah same
This song ALWAYS randomly pops up in my head.
What a masterpiece. I really love the bass line, gives it an upbeat feel even though the song sounds sad in a way.
The bass on the boss theme is insane
This beat sort of reminds me of the Begining intro to Tom & Jerry Kids.

With the release of sonic frontiers. Sonic remains surprising me with even better things.
32 years! Wow.
Why god why 🥺
They still stand up to the test of time, but that's no surprise
Very memorable, to say the least. To hear this, see the background, feel the essence; Sonic has such an influence in people's lives.
This level brings back bad memories...beautiful
One of the most memorable game music tracks ever! A classic in every sense!!
I really used to hate this zone as a kid but now its probably one of my favorites because of the song and nostalgia.

I get this song stuck in my head every time I get a notification on Slack.
One of my favorite Sonic stages
