Funny it's Amy gameplay footage, it's been years since the time I spent hours working on those sprites. Wish we did that 5 year anniversary post, would've been cool to show all the cut content. Great cover as always, keep up the good work. Ye continue making me jealous of the fact I can't use FM3 special with SMPS.
it's funny because i actually had commentary scrapped from this video because i had some strong opinions on the current soundtrack, but i genuinely felt like it wasn't worth it and scrapped it. there really was no point to it i actually wasn't contacted about srb2 32x either so i was so confused when everyone told me that i was credited for one piece of music lol
Hearing tracks made by Tay for more of the Zones would be a delight imo, ESPECIALLY the NiGHTS (or really, in this case just the Special Stage) tracks! ...That or ACZ2, to be honest.
actually wait, was i contacted on twitter by any chance? i never respond to any message requests because they are clogged with a lot of spam and garbage
Well this is pretty much a best-case scenario for me. Fantastic work. Everyone, this tune (back when srb2 was 2D and the tune was a midi) was originally composed by a literal child and everyone with better music skills just keeps making it better for me hahah
@@professorbadvibes695 haha I wish! Once protracker was gone I never quite recovered. No, it was done in something called Evolution Audio, which was a midi program for Win95
oh hell yeah, in on the very first seconds of this being uploaded. i have this song stuck in my head from constantly working on numerous SRB2 mods, not that that's a bad thing lol
extremely great cover!!! might actually prefer this to the original to some extent slightly missed opportunity to include the B section of the pre-2.2 version of the song somewhere in there (especially since once the song loops the melody becomes slightly simpler which reminds me of the pre-2.2 melody) but It isn't a deal breaker!
ah lol this was purely based off the 2.2 versions lol. idk i just like it better but ik there's extensive history to the soundtrack already (let alone the game) dave bulmer actually even left a comment, i think it's fair to say that i still did this well quite frankly. glad you enjoy it!!!
I wasn't expecting you to upload this. However, the energy and softness throughout this arrangement give me beachy vibes. And I like that feeling! Hoping for something better and bigger for 2025! (Also, this is the first comment I made on this channel btw)
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Sonic fangames, remixed by one of my favorite chiptune composers Will you do the same with more zones in SRB2? This sounds lovely (also happy new year, Joy!)
@johntayjinf That's fair, in anyway this sounds even better than it sounded already, so even if it's just this zone, it's great to hear how you bring new life to every song you touch!
Joy's first 2024 post was a Green Hill Zone Arrangement And their last 2024 post is a Greenflower Zone Arrangement You start the year with a first level and end it with another first level???
Just a general question about the genesis sound chip. Why do most songs, whether fan made(usually furnace tracker) or official not use the full sn76489 chip (3 psg and noise)?
this was a hardware oversight specifically related to the sn7; the 3rd psg channel and the noise channel (almost) cancel one another out if both play together, the pulse channel will jump to the highest possible frequency (that usually isn't audible) and the noise channel will use an entirely different noise mode; only if the noise mode is set in the noise channel will both of them have sound, but the noise channel's range will be greatly limited
@@johntayjinf It's actually not an oversight, rather it's by design. It has 2 noise modes, preset and channel 3 frequency mode as you say. The former was mostly used in SMS/GG games, and those will use all 4 channels, but typically Genesis games use ch3 freq mode to borrow the full frequency range from channel 3 at the cost of ch3 itself. It's not like you couldn't still use both ch3 and noise in that mode, but you just can't do it at the same time. That said, if you use a short noise hat, you could do a trick like playing echo notes in square 3 during the noise channel's downtime.
@ChiptunedRaijin ahh ok. i honestly assumed it _was_ an oversight since much of the people around me thought it was odd that it was like this in the first place
This is actually the most perfect song to end off 2024.

@@DemonTomatoDave Ah nice! Thank you for the insight!
Thine coffers flow over with excitement from the realization of a newborn arrangement from Johnathan "Joyeth" Taybernacle
i love how theres a dedicated folder to ssg-eg bullshittery
seems that ive successfully converted you into the seg egg church 🔥
somehow both incredibly accurate to the original and unique in its own way.
how do you do it…

hi ibly
Perfect song as a send off to 2024. Happy New Year's eve!!
YEAHHHHH I had felt like SRB2 32X didn't quite rock the soundchip as much as it could've. This cover is fire!!!!
merry new yuri
extremely great cover!!! might actually prefer this to the original to some extent

Yesterday I said to myself "John Tay would never do a cover of Greenflower Zone!"
Also Happy New Years Eve!
god this song is so nostalgic to me. I remember this is one of the first Sonic fangame music I listened to. Great pick to end off 2024!
This is going straight to my playlist, happy new year everyone!!!

probably not, sonic from me these days are more or less one-offs

Yeeee~! Heard your track that was in the 32x port of Robo Blast~! :D
Happy New Year!
This is such a chill arrange; really love the instrumentation \o/
Starting the year with another banger I see, have a happy new year John!!! ❤
You are one of my biggest inspirations, every cover you do has a special touch that makes it clean
Also Happy new year 🎉
Wowie, this is a new year’s treat for sure!
Lovely tune to bring in the New Year! I hope this year will treat us all well 🙏
This is the first 3D classic sonic game to me:] I loviee lovee!

It's so wonderful this end of the year, isn't it...
Back at the beginning for another new year.
Happy 2025 SRB2 community!

Awesome remix once again Joy! I love SRB2!
So Good
Also Happy New Years
man, this cover makes me want to open up srb2 again
Imagine an entire new arrangement of the ost to fit the 32x port that'd be cool but also take a while
good music too i liek😊
OHHH MAH GOD
i would kill for the boss theme or metal sonic race in your style
Happy new year 🎉
srb2 jumpscare?????
banger as always
As soon as I heard this song from the demo I guessed you arranged it and then the credits proved me right
well, i was only given credit for the credits arrangement
the other music was arranged by someone else
Oh Shoot here we Go again
Cool, now do Techno Hill Zone from SRB2. I totally want to hear how it will be blast processed with your skill.
Happy new year ;)
This remix fucking rocks genuinely
i like how you literally made this and then like 2 weeks later made it again
Cool!!
happy new
I was actually just playing this!
Best of luck out there on ²⁰25!
merry new year is crazy. W remix though
thank you
Heck yeah, SRB2!
Very nice
С Новым Годом! 🎉
Thank you jjt we all say in unison
How interesting, an srb2 cover.
