What a Zone!! The atmosphere!! The Showdown up in the stormy skies against Dr. Robotnik in his best final battle machine! This tune is definitely the best final boss tune in the Sonic franchise and I have tried my best to capture that feeling. Keep going fast people and don't fall!! And this is the climax of the first half of Sonic 3 as Sonic & Knuckles is on the horizon!!

Years ago, I did my own version of the soundtrack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game and although I love it to pieces, it is the second game in the series that I love more fondly. I also rearranged/composed elements for my own version of the game's soundtrack last year, which turned out better than I'd hoped. 

Since then, I have been wanting to complete the trilogy as it were and do justice to Sonic 3. Sonic 3's scope was much grander than 2 so the game was split into Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles respectively. For this first half I will be uploading the tunes from Sonic 3 first. Then, under a new album cover, I will upload the tracks - that are currently in the works - from Sonic & Knuckles so watch that space. Also, the multiplayer/competition tracks will be uploaded with them too.

My approach to this project was once again that I wanted to evoke a sense of retro-gaming nostalgia mixed with some of my own electronic elements to bridge over play-loops. The overall scale and rhythms of Sonic 3 is a lot more complex and it was a challenge to get the notes and themes in place. Not to mention in the original soundtrack, there were elements from Michael Jackson's sound team under the banner of Brad Buxer. Now, under copyright laws, I cannot use the original sound effects from those tracks but I have done my best to replicate/replace them with sounds I have in my software. 

I hope they take you back to a time of childhood, a time of simpler times and cracking break-through, "got to go fast" games. Please enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

SHOWDOWN ABOARD THE RISING DEATH EGG ZONE

Years ago, I did my own version of the soundtrack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game and although I love it to pieces, it is the second game in the series that I love more fondly. I also rearranged/composed elements for my own version of the game's soundtrack last year, which turned out better than I'd hoped.

I have also done my own version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 but as we know, that game is divided into two halves: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 plus Sonic & Knuckles. Here is the much overdue second half of my own versions of these classic tracks. I hope you enjoy going fast and speedy along these renditions.

Sonic & Knuckles starts off where the last half ended; Sonic has to race across more zones to prevent Dr. Robotnik (or Eggman) from resurrecting the fallen Death Egg Zone. At the end of Sky Sanctuary Zone, Sonic leaps onto a floating contraption that takes him deep with Dr. Robtonik's restored, spherical space station weapon. The place pulses with electricity, being amplified by the limitless energy of the Master Emerald. Views of space and planet below can be seen out the vast contraption's windows. Sonic races through the metallic maze, even defying gravity and running on light itself! The tune oozes with final level vibes and the bass pulses with electric/industrial sounds that reflects Dr. Robotnik's style and insanity. I had a lot of fun recreating this zone and I wanted it to go on even longer (but then Sonic wouldn't catch up). 

Enjoy folks. I hope these tracks take you back to a time of childhood, a time of simpler times and cracking break-through, "got to go fast" games. HJ signing out.
