https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xyr9w4qE00 Sonic 2 was my first vidya ever.
This song always made me sad and I wondered why it wasn't in the game. Years later we finally know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFRdCwl2NGM Runner up for one of my favorite songs in this game.
My theory is that this was the song for the scrapped desert stage. It sounds kinda deserty to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl6kjAkVw_s As a kid looking at city lights at night always made me think of this stage's background.

IMO Sanic has always had one over on Mario because of the Casino themes.
Makes sense coming from a company that started off selling slot machines.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVogmB2_Pws Never actually owned a SEGA CD because we all know they sold like shit in America.
Finally got around to playing Sonic CD a few years ago absolutely loved it. This game is one of the series' most underrated gems.

Here's the looped version that was made for later re-releases.

And some weird extended version of the good future.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTP84hTLHms JP or US OST?
Who cares, they're both amazing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLiUNxg8Gh4 I hate that whenever I want to hear this song, now I have to wade through all the bullshit from the new game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m64iK733ZNk This song is the epitome of the Genesis' twangy sound chip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxeSNmd55Yc Best Robotnik theme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7uHTaazsXo >>303
In all seriousness though, this is my favorite Eggman theme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQQ-2su42C0 okay good, i was worried a thread like this didn't exist. i can ramble about this shit all day homie special stage track from Sonic Lost World is like one of three tracks from the game i can tolerate. i can't get down with the big band whatever vibe they were trying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AqKxeP3BYU is the Sonic Riders soundtrack as underrated as I think it is or am I just being a meme? because Splash Canyon is easily in my Top 10 sonic tracks, this rocks hard as balls

>>449 This is a legit jam, personal favourite SA2 character theme

>>2428 Really, I feel like Riders as a whole is pretty underrated. And yeah, there's some legit jams in that game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwQQGicfI2g >>2422 I became really, really, really addicted to this tune from Lost World for a while after playing the game. I'd literally have this playing all day non stop. I think it's the only tune from the game that I remember. It's really god damn well composed.

>>2428 I think I so far haven't found anything I liked in the Riders series' OSTs. A lot of people loved Ungravitify but I just don't really care about it. It's the first time something like this happens to me.

>>2433 >Ungravitify Oh jeez. Yeah. In my opinion, the Sonic Riders soundtracks get progressively worse with each game. The stage music is the hill I'll stay on. First one rocked hard, second one had some tunes, and the best way I can describe the music from Free Riders is that you hear the first 10 seconds of the loop and think, "Aw yeah! Can't wait for the melody to kick in!" and then a minute goes by and you realize there's not going to be a melody.

>>2431 that ain't bad at all, I could see getting down with that. it's just something about the style that I'm not 100% sold on, but it's not at all a horrible track.

Okay, Sonic 06 is bad yadda yadda, but this is the only video game where I literally love every single stage song. I swear to God they're all brilliant. Hot Take: Sonic 06 has the best ost of any Sonic game ever. on mobile so hopefully this doesn't mess everything up, but here's just one of my top 5 from the game: https://youtu.be/VmyAYu8EdGo

>>2431 >>2435 Oh fuck I'm hooked on it again send help >>2434 >you hear the first 10 seconds of the loop and think, "Aw yeah! Can't wait for the melody to kick in!" and then a minute goes by and you realize there's not going to be a melody. I hate being baited like that so much. I hate when a tune shows so much potential but it's only the intro and then the rest of it is awful, or even when the intro is much better than the rest of the tune even if the rest of it is actually good, as it just leaves me wishing I got more of what I didn't end up getting. This last thing actually happened to me a few days ago and it just made me upset at the whole song even though it's actually great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOUtW94K_eY >>2445 DUDE. had the complete opposite happen to me. the beginning of this song i'm embedding always sounded derpy as fuck and i never went past the first few seconds because of it. the first time i heard the :36 mark of the song i face palmed because i'm absolutely in love with it

>>2449 Oh yeah, I've had that happen to me several times too, but never with Sonic tunes. I've come to love when it happens because I suddenly get another song that I like when I think I'm out of content to listen to from a specific band or disc.
