I loved these stages. I used to play this on the PC with my brother. I just remember the music speeding up, everything going so fast, and thinking "OH SHIIIIIII..." But when the balls go flying and you get that emerald, THAT is a gooooood feeling~
TallismanRogue Oh man you hit the nail on the head. Holding breath holding breath oh sh** theres no way im gonna pass this. Oh no! Misstimed a jump, frantic turning and more jumping hands working faster than brain can keep up with... then OMG I did it .. as the balls go flying.
Fun fact In the Chaos Emerald special stages (or Sonic 3 special stages), the globe's color actually matches the 6 zones 1st=Angel Island 2nd=Hydrocity 3rd=Marble Garden 4th=Carnival Night 5th=Flying Battery (it was intended to be between Carnival Night and Ice Cap) 6th=Ice Cap 7th=Launch Base In the Super Emerald/Sonic & Knuckles special stages, only the 5th stage matches one zone, Hidden Palace (But I'm pretty sure that the 1st one matches Sky Sanctuary)
The feeling of clearing out the stage, every sphere go off, you're still walking, all camly, this song play, ready and straight to the emerald... aaaaah nostalgia!
Minha sobrinha recém nascida AMA essa musica! Assim como eu no passado, ela também passou a gostar de Sonic em primeiro lugar em jogos :3 ORGULHO DE SER FÃ DE SONIC!!
0:46 makes me feel nostalgic for some reason, but I've never played this game as a child before. Edit: Nevermind, this song gives me some "Pit of 100 Trails theme from Super Paper Mario" vibes
@@jell-ofell-o5091 I think it's due to how upbeat both songs are. Listen to both of these songs side by side, and you'll see what I mean. The reason both songs sound similar is purely because of their upbeat nature. They have a similar, "Climax" before the songs loop. You can still get the same feel of the Flipside/Flopside Pit of 100 Trials theme from Super Paper Mario if you simply replaced the actual song with the Blue Sphere theme, or replaced the Blue Sphere theme with the SPM Pit of 100 Trials theme, and still have the same feel as the actual theme.
The good old days when special stages were easy. I went thru the game getting all the chaos emeralds so many times, I started to hate how long it took, so i found two bumper spheres to bounce myself on for a few minutes to get faster, then at full speed I would complete the stage to make it feel faster. It wasn't easier, but it felt more comfortable :)
hermosa canción como me lleva cuando era niño año 95 estaba yo y mi sega prendido jugando este titulo por horas y horas disfrutando que universo que nos brindaron en los 90' ahora es todo muy diferente que calidad que tenia todo
This song has beasty drum beats, they even threw in open/closed hi-hat effex. Wow. All i can remember is being tense as hell circling around @ max speed looking for the last patch of blue spheres for the 7th emerald. MEMORIES. i still play 16-bits alot tho, they're my fav to-date. MAKE MORE 2d games. Damnit.
When I was a little kid I wanted to just jump into Sonic's world and meet him because of this song. If only it were possible.....................................
The Nintendo Guy YES! I'll say this and probably get blasted for it. I will take any video game theme from the SNES, Genesis, NES and GameBoy over any new stuff from Xbox/PS1 on.
SEGA got a lot of great theme... I love the "Wren Transforms" theme from PSIII so much... I swear flying around is as epic as Doomsday Zone with that theme!
I always loved this song. It actually sounds really peaceful and serene. Nothing to worry about in life any more, except running around and collecting blue spheres. Ahh.
Such clear sound, with clear treble. I was privileged to have this console, good musics, good game, good quality, and a comforting memory... that genisis quality, only one that had 32kbps. snes only dreamed with this, but never got more than that muffled sounds by their lack of power, as result he had less than 30kbps . tsc... fans are no sense, they think muffed sound is "better", just because hides the fails of the sound.
Yeah, poor SNES fanboys, they were stuck with pitiful soundtracks like Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6 and so on...
This theme was my first ringtone on my very first mobile phone (I was about 11 years old). Oh Gosh, those memories. My school friends used to love to listen to this soundtrack.
dam i swear i am the sonic the hedehog king when it came to this. Yo thumbs up if you remember putting sonic 3 into the sonic and knuckles cartridge and getting hyper sonic, hyper knuckles and super tails. dam i am 29 and that was the good ol days...
CosmicUndeadElf At 0:06, when the notes go up and then down, listen for "so no one TOLD you life was". That's the one and only bit that sounds similar.
awwwww man!!!! the good old days!! i grew up on tis game!!!! good times! I used to play this game all the time. my mom would always play the special stages for me though. they used to be hard to me but now I beat'em all!
0:060:05 Lyrics: So no one told you life was gonna be this way Your job's a joke, you're broke Your love life's DOA It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month Or even your year, but I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before)I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me too)
Unpopular opinion but I think this would have been much better music for the first rainbow road in Mario Kart I mean seriously put the too together and they really work
Me gusta la canción de el Angel Island pero sinceramente cuando probre Sonic 3 & Knuckles, el bonus, con su hermoso soundtrack e enamora aun hoy después de 10 años de haberlo jugado la primera vez.

Lol yes
This song is why I never wanted to collect the last blue sphere.
You've got to do it it's the only way to get a chaos emerald

Henry Rogers Actually, those are bonus stages and not special stages

Fun fact
In the Chaos Emerald special stages (or Sonic 3 special stages), the globe's color actually matches the 6 zones
1st=Angel Island
2nd=Hydrocity
3rd=Marble Garden
4th=Carnival Night
5th=Flying Battery (it was intended to be between Carnival Night and Ice Cap)
6th=Ice Cap
7th=Launch Base
In the Super Emerald/Sonic & Knuckles special stages, only the 5th stage matches one zone, Hidden Palace (But I'm pretty sure that the 1st one matches Sky Sanctuary)
I love this music, but the blue sphere sound effects were always so aggravating
Peter Kim WOGOWOGOWOGOWOGOWOGOWOGOWOGO ♪
Yeah 🎶🎶🎶
+MammothAlfa genius!
I find it satisfying instead
weegoo weegoo weegoo
These special stages were my favourite of the classics. It's amazing to know it's back in Sonic Mania!
The feeling of clearing out the stage, every sphere go off, you're still walking, all camly, this song play, ready and straight to the emerald... aaaaah nostalgia!
and the you bump into into a fucking red sphere when you turn.
The heck is up with the thumbnail?
I was about to say that.
Go to 1:35, the picture switches
I guess the video chose that moment to be the thumbnail.
+-Volvagia- Lol... Greatest timing ever...
Flowey it's because you glitched it.
Transition to 3 to 3&K
Minha sobrinha recém nascida AMA essa musica!
Assim como eu no passado, ela também passou a gostar de Sonic em primeiro lugar em jogos :3
ORGULHO DE SER FÃ DE SONIC!!
disse tudo parceiro, orgulho maximo, bons tempos!
Curto Sonic,só n acho a melhor franquia de jogos kkkkk, depois de 7 anos já mostrou a sua sobrinha a música da Hydrocity ou da Ice cap?
Tbm
@@goiabaok9255 para mim é a melhor franquia de todos os tempos, junto com mario
I love this music. Brings back good memories.
Same thing, too, i really love this music btw
I LOVE this song its 1 of my favorites
I love the thumbnail XD
That's the only reason why i am here XD

0:46 makes me feel nostalgic for some reason, but I've never played this game as a child before.
Edit: Nevermind, this song gives me some "Pit of 100 Trails theme from Super Paper Mario" vibes
I've beat the Flopside and Flipside Pits like 8 times each and I NEVER even thought of this theme, and I played Sonic 3 first

i loved these days so much. and i listened to these before i started playing piano, now i hear the music in a different way. great times
This is my childhood right here...
The best song in the whole game!
I agree
carnival night is better
One of the best song in video game history, I would say!
thats tough competition lol

AlliaNCe like ur pfp where is it from
This always made me want to have summer fun with Sonic, Tails and even Knuckles! It just gave me that wonderful feeling.

Sonic Got All Super Emeralds,Now Sonic Can Be HYPER SONIC!!
When I saw that my first time beating the game 100%, i started screaming and I screamed even louder when I was hyper
I N S E R T S I M P S O N S R E F R E N C E H E R E
top 5 songs that you start dancing in less than 30 seconds
Makes me want to go on an amazing adventure...

People near you: 😱
MY CHILDHOOD!!!
This makes you remember about your good childhood moments doesn't it?

When I saw the thumbnail I thought "Wtf is up with that thumbnail!", then I realized it was the transition at 1:35.
Only original Sonic fans will understand how hard this stage was.
“GET BLUE SPHERES”
How to give veteran sonic players and kids from the 90's PTSD attacks:
Awa awa awa awa awa awa
If you get it-
you get it
One of my favorite song songs of all time. I loved doing special stages to get Super Sonic, and to listen to this song.
When I was a little kid I wanted to just jump into Sonic's world and meet him because of this song. If only it were possible.....................................
+Foxy The RUclips Fox :'(
When u stand on the stage your feet get special, thats how u get people to kiss your toe fungus.
The old days never get old!
Omg Goose bumps all over my body
Lots of people say that Nintendo had the best themes but... noo... just have them listen to his. It's all they need.
Can't we just agree that Nintendo and Sega's themes are equally great?
The Nintendo Guy YES! I'll say this and probably get blasted for it. I will take any video game theme from the SNES, Genesis, NES and GameBoy over any new stuff from Xbox/PS1 on.
You should listen to balloon par if you think that THIS is good. I loved this song, until I heard ballon park.
SEGA got a lot of great theme... I love the "Wren Transforms" theme from PSIII so much... I swear flying around is as epic as Doomsday Zone with that theme!
do you follow the ''sega does what nintendon't'' or something?
I always loved this song. It actually sounds really peaceful and serene. Nothing to worry about in life any more, except running around and collecting blue spheres. Ahh.
Hail to the best musical console! *Dancing*
Sorry, I screwed up. Only the final boss is up. The other one will be up soon.
When you cant find the last 2 blue spheres (in 2x speed)
Because it's got really good instruments in it.
Very talented guitarists, drummers, and bassists.
They're bringing these back in Sonic Mania!! :O
This is my favorite special stage music out of all 3 sonic games. in my opinion its the only one that doesn't get annoying.
Most certainly my childhood! :')
Love that drum fill at the start! Those drums always remind me of Eastenders on UK TV.
I’ve never heard this song before but it sounds so familiar.
BEST special stage.
Such clear sound, with clear treble. I was privileged to have this console, good musics, good game, good quality, and a comforting memory...
that genisis quality, only one that had 32kbps. snes only dreamed with this, but never got more than that muffled sounds by their lack of power, as result he had less than 30kbps . tsc... fans are no sense, they think muffed sound is "better", just because hides the fails of the sound.
Yeah, poor SNES fanboys, they were stuck with pitiful soundtracks like Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6 and so on...
I loved that part. I'm going to upload that jingle.
Sounds like a perfect song for wandering around in a snowy forest while it’s snowing
Nice Thumbnail.
Did anyone else ever figure out that if you go around the square of blue spheres the entire square turns into rings?
You are not alone, mate
Much of the music show bonus but when she goes into a frenzy during the event makes me nervous with excitement!
This theme was my first ringtone on my very first mobile phone (I was about 11 years old). Oh Gosh, those memories. My school friends used to love to listen to this soundtrack.
Sonic games are so nice to play infront of your friends, so you could show them how skilled you are at sidescrolling! :P
i like this bgm
I remember playing this about 9 or 10 years ago on my brother's sega megadrive, this song was my favourite and still is it fuckin slaps
13 people won´t become super sonic.
thmello30 23
Or hyper sonic
thmello30 15 other people won't become hyper sonic
thmello30 7,000,000 never did
39 people
Mexico.
That's what pops into my mind when I listen to this song. That and a sunset.
One of my favorite Sonic tunes
this has to be the theme song of my childhood. good times...
My "I won't let anything to ruin my day " theme
This will always make me happy and stressed out
i was driving on the highway back home. and, this song popped into my head.
This song is just so awesome...
Oh I just love the drum beats in this song especially that "dega de de dah" at the beginning.
dam i swear i am the sonic the hedehog king when it came to this. Yo thumbs up if you remember putting sonic 3 into the sonic and knuckles cartridge and getting hyper sonic, hyper knuckles and super tails. dam i am 29 and that was the good ol days...
almost sounds like the friends theme song
I don't hear that...
CosmicUndeadElf At 0:06, when the notes go up and then down, listen for "so no one TOLD you life was". That's the one and only bit that sounds similar.
Jeremy Hoffman this dude gets it
Jeremy Hoffman Haha, yeah I see what you mean
Wow your right that is like on 0:06
Oh Dear God, I will die of Joy if these stages are in sonic 4.
Seriously.
Best Special Stage EVER.
are you alive still
take me back to the day
such deceptively relaxing music for such a hard special stage ;_;
First 30 sec are the best
When Sonic speeds up: *So you have chosen death*
awwwww man!!!! the good old days!! i grew up on tis game!!!! good times! I used to play this game all the time. my mom would always play the special stages for me though. they used to be hard to me but now I beat'em all!
The mania version is also great...until the chorus. WTF is Tee's obsession in making everything into Latin fiesta, orchestra hits and tango?
0:06 0:05
Lyrics:
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke
Your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)
wooaaaAAAAAAAA
Amazing lyrics
Unpopular opinion but I think this would have been much better music for the first rainbow road in Mario Kart
I mean seriously put the too together and they really work
Sonic series are easily the coolest games ive ever played to this day!
mmmh. love this song! brings back good memories :) think i used too play this when i was like 5-6 years old ^^
Every time I listen to Sonic 3 music it feels like a tropical vacation.
Red sphere: BYOIYOIYOIYINNNNNG!
I had a 6-button controller with a Slo-Mo button, which came in handy for the Sonic3&Knuckles special stages!
Lol hax 😀😀😀
el mejor soundtrack de todo sonic 3 knuckles
I never realized how much this sounds like Passing Breeze from Out Run.
THANK YOU SIR for giving me that wonderful soundtrack title to search for.
I think playing these stages nonstop as a kid caused my sensitive eyesight today haha.
Work of art
best sound track ever .. it took me back to 13 June 1994
Aaaah this takes me back!
Christ i remember how much i strained my neck my neck in concentration. ESPECIALLY the last bonus stage, that was mental.
This was incredible, it was just the best video game music i´ve ever heard, and by far!!
Is it sad that every time I hear this music I can here the pew pew pew sound from when you walk over the blue buttons to make them red?
It's not bad, it is nostalgia =D. I can almost hear the rings... :3
Me gusta la canción de el Angel Island pero sinceramente cuando probre Sonic 3 & Knuckles, el bonus, con su hermoso soundtrack e enamora aun hoy después de 10 años de haberlo jugado la primera vez.
Hermoso soundtrack
*_GET BLUE SPHERES!_*
I love how the speed picks up eventually.
I brought myself here, but only thanks to RubberFruit, yet I respect the origins of the song. This game must have been one heck of one! :)
Probably my favourite special stage theme in a Sonic game.
