That’s very purposeful because it’s supposed to feel as if you are getting deeper into a mountain. One thing Sega is constant about (well in quality) is music
I prefer this version to act 1. I love when each instrument methodically gets isolated. It makes you appreciate the individual parts to the composition, and the composition is so good that each individual part is worthy of its own song. A true accomplishment since everything I mentioned is about a video game song from the 90s
@@yetanotherhankhill1032 Its Just not as good as this either. But Its not SEGA's fault for what happened so im not really angry. Its Just a shame to revisit the game of my childhood and then THAT iconic track that gave way more atmosphere for the level is missing. Its Sad really.
Sega really knew how to take advantage of the Genesis’ sound hardware. Idc how inferior the Yamaha YM2612 was to the SNES hardware. The Genesis’ music was always iconic and will always be.
I'm not even sure it is inferior even if it is older tech. The Snes soundchip is a step away from synthesised sound and with a few bells and whistles but is severly limited by being inside a 16 bit console with little RAM. It's also limited by what samples the game studios could actually get into the games. I bet a lot of Snes game music consists of samples from synthesisers anyway.
@@andyukmonkey I wouldn't call it inferior, but rather different. Both chips have their pros and cons and their differences make them distinctive and lead to both chips still being remembered today.
@@Automatik234 Yeah, In recent years I realised they're just two different ways to get the same results. People can pick apart small differences if they want to but i'm sure 99% of music on one machine could be converted over to the other with 99% accuracy.
I ask myself "How the Hell did Michael Jackson think the Genesis made his songs sound worse?" Honestly, I think they're actually better than his normal renditions of his songs XD.
He never actually said that. Michael Jackson had a full personal arcade of his own filled with SEGA games. Someone else 'said that for him' after he died.
+mojo washington There was a song in Sonic CD that I liked so I made Sonic wait whilst I listened to the music, but at the 3 minute mark, Sonic said "I'm outta here!" and jumped off screen and got a game over! Glad that never happens on the Megadrive games!
mojo washington In Sonic CD, yeah, pretty much =P If you kept moving and didn't stay idle, then the 10 minute limit still applies. Sonic only buggers off after 3 minutes if you literally press nothing.
I like how of all the themes in this game, this is one where they were like “instead of making a slightly different song in Act 2, just replay Act 1 but mute some of the channels and highlight certain channels at different times to get a new experience with the exact same song cuz we ain’t doing any better than this :V”
I like how that's the exact same idea they had for both the Micheal Jackson team and the initial composers who made the Beta tracks (the ones in Sonic Origins).
@@aerodynamo4874 I actually just finished playing Origins throughout 4 different live streams on the channel called The Hedgehog Zone. But when I get to this stage, you'll hear this theme instead. lol A lot of people prefer this version of the tracks but some people prefer the Prototype music (Beta game version, not PC version obviously) but took issue with how they were constructed in Origins. So there's actually a simple mod for the PC version of Origins that switches the music back to the MJ tracks as well as a mod that switches the Origins tracks back to their more glorified Beta forms. For that, you can look up the channel called Overdash.
That's how every zone in Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles works. Remixes for the second act. A practice carried over into Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Mania.
@@mr.awesome6011 its not a remix tho. They Just isolate some of The Channels and plays them in different intervals. Its still The exact same music from act 1, but by muting some Channels and making each part of The song stands out, makes It have a completely different feel, and I like this approach for Act 2, i dont think It ever happens that much in Sonic 3 or K, but Its awesome nonetheless.
I know this is fucking old but "ill" is late 80s slang equivalent to today's "lit" or "fire". iller is technically the superlative of ill, so his comment is correct. The more you know, kids.
***** To extend this topic. They could have released some more levels as DLC for Generations quite easily. I haven't played the 3DS version so unsure what levels are in that, but I'd love to have seen Ice Cap, Mystic Caves, Mushroom Hill, Angel Island, Flying Battery and Death Egg. A few more levels from Sonic CD, like Stardust Speedway, Quartz Quadrant and Metallic Madness (complete with shrink rays) on top of the very awesome Metal Sonic fight would have also been awesome to see. I'd also love more classic bosses recreated including Mecha Sonic from Sonic 2. So much more they could do with this... I wonder if we will get a Sonic Generations 2? lol
FYI Sonic 3 works as a separate game because although its story links in with Sonic and Knuckles in a crucial way, it is long enough, and does have a story complete enough to stand alone.
0:26 is in SSX when the music gets all blurry from SHOOTING off of the edge of an icy cliff with your snowboard hundreds of feet in the air, and you get to see the whole of creation from above. You don't get that view in Sonic, but I'm sure he does. This part in the song just sets my soul free! :)
Personal best was ~750 rings in act 2. Most in all of the Sonic Genesis games I played back then. This was locked-on to S&K. Last game I played was Generations years ago 👍
The best sound track I would wake up at 6 in the morning to just play this stage all over and over and over before school and on my weekdays out of school
Sega Genesis was truly ahead of it's time. I remember it's marketing sound design being a KEY feature, that today means nothing new. Back then it was truly amazing, they definitely showed off and mastered Sonic 3 & Knuckles to showcase this! (Genesis sound design showcase is equivalent to showcasing a PS5 4K HDR Gameplay today.) This is also my favorite track ever from SNK3
I go to the beach in the winter time when the shores of Lake Erie freeze over and it's all snowy and icy and play this song while I'm walking around with my dog. Can't tell you how much it adds to the experience.
i'm playing this masterpiece just now (was waiting for it to come out on 3ds like 1 and 2 but never happened for sone reason) and wow is it good. it's awesome how good its storytelling is without having any dialogue at all, like in mania. and i see just now how this game inspired a lot of the later games. like this zone feels to me like a mix of twinkle snow and cool edge, but it actually inspired them both. idk. cool.
How good is this music, as I child I loved playing all the sonic games on my SEGA console, but never really got into the music, but now it's just amazing
Love this theme, reminds me of the good ol' genesis days :) my favorite level and theme of the whole game well act 1' i liked better but still awesome. Thanks for posting this up.
is hard when... look back and understand... all of that never will be the same today, we can simulate the old times, trying to build an ambient like that, with friend who know how is, if you have friends from that time (not my situation) that times was really happy, i can remember a lot of things, all the things, how i felt, the energy of that days, the light, the weather... memories registered in the song, one thing by one beat, good days... today i can feel only the pain of a injustice world, and loses, a bad life, that only runs sustained by memories. i live all days, basing myself in the past, believing that the world could be happy again, once was and I saw, then it could be again this song carries value of giving me faith and power again
This is the definition of work smarter not harder. The composer still managed to make it distinct from act 1 without adding and changing instruments. They nailed it in my opinion.
I love how in act 1 you can almost hear the shivering in the track and get the sense of urgency like you need to keep moving or freeze to death. Then act 2 goes further with that urgency making the track more minimilaistic so it feels like hypothermia is setting in, your body and mind are starting to shut down and these could be your final moments.
I does sound sad, 0:00 - 0:27 brings back memories of my friends who turned fake on me and when I see them I have to speed walk the opposite way so that they don't see me💔😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭🇺🇸🇬🇧
I'm still very much into Sonic the Hedgehog games as much as I was in the 90s, and I was real good at it, too lol. On the music note, it's a shame that many games in today's generation don't have excellent theme songs like this, as well as in the 90s as a whole. ~Trav.~

favorite zone. i love the ice theme it looks cool and the music is amazing for this zone. for some reason it just puts me into the mindset of being in a deep ice cavern.
Did Sonic 3 have a generations level? Or was it combined w/ Sonic & Knuckles? It's a shame. Generations was a decent idea, but we ended up with way too many city levels (day city, night city, foreign city, city on fire...)
This is a testament to Michael Jackson's composing ability. No matter what anyone says about him, they CAN NOT say that he didn't do a damn good job with this game's music.

If you collect a ring while 1:30 - 1:36 is playing, you won't hear any music at all.
+JesseRoxII I might have to try that out
yes!!
Thats because the soundchip runs the ring sound and that portion of the music on the same channel. Happens with most genesis music.
Alright now that's a fun fact XD
JesseRoxII Sometimes when the music cuts off, it sounds kinda badass. The music is so intense, the game needs a short pause because its just too good.

This song gives me goosebumps every time
I had lots of fun playing all the classic sonic games on the genesis along with the snes in the mid to late 90s. :)
I discovered Ice cap zone Only in Sonic 3 and Knuckles becaus i was block in THIS DAMN BARREL OF CARNIVAL NIGHT !!!
I remember that accursed barrel. Next time you get to it, as you stand on it, move the control pad (Genesis) up and down depending on where you are.
Jesus, oh God. Please change your dreadful profile picture. It's awful and a disgrace to the Sonic community.
What? What's wrong with a fan character you absolute mongoloid???
Stand in the middle. Or you run the risk of getting squished
No no no you fucking idiot it's in normal sonic 3 too I played through the entire game got the good ending and all it cost was my soul
favorite zone. i love the ice theme it looks cool and the music is amazing for this zone. for some reason it just puts me into the mindset of being in a deep ice cavern.
Better than act 1 ;)
Facts
Is so much better than act 1.Best part 1:23 - 1:36
let's be real both of them are soo good
@@djordjejovanovic1288 both are the best, or maybe when they are mashed up
this works perfect when speedrunning origins
* starts humming Hard times by the Jetsons *
* Starts humming Smooth Criminal *
Both is good.
Thank you Michael Jackson for this amazing OST :)
When the Beat drop at 00:13 it was jaw dropping😮
RIP to this banger never forgotten 🙏
i listen this song on my ipod when i gone to surf. I was like Sonic! :D
I like how this version sounds like Eurobeat.
0:34 I love this part so much
It sad we r not getting this in sonic origins😢
While I prefer act 1, act 2 is so beautiful to listen to
My favorite level in Sonic 3. Can't put my finger on why
Yes n the remixes are amazing
I never played it but I agree
Did Sonic 3 have a generations level? Or was it combined w/ Sonic & Knuckles? It's a shame. Generations was a decent idea, but we ended up with way too many city levels (day city, night city, foreign city, city on fire...)
More musicians should make songs like this!
My god!!! Lot of memories!!!! Tant de souvenirs!!! Vivement demain que je puisse y rejouer à Sonic Mania!!!!!
This is a testament to Michael Jackson's composing ability. No matter what anyone says about him, they CAN NOT say that he didn't do a damn good job with this game's music.
That's a nice image to put in your head.
The beat sounds similar to the one Nickelodeon used for 'Are you Afraid of the Dark' called "Feel the Fear".
