The Sonic 3 & Knuckles OST is such a banger! It's so captivating that such a large group of composers can put together something so cohesive and memorable, it's definitely one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.
The conception of this cover started about four years ago, back when I was working on Sonic Misadventures. A friend of the show, Gareth Spriggs of Find The Computer Room, joked about a jazz cover of Mushroom Hill Zone... and of course, I relished the challenge. I'm glad I waited to tackle it though, so I can really try to do the tune justice. For this arrangement, I wanted to represent the season-changing aspect of the level, as it goes from lush greenery to a barren landscape, particularly in the slower section near the middle. For me, making the percussion more sparse and creating more melodic solos serves to differentiate between the two acts and how the stakes are raised for the second.
I also tried to go with a more conservative selection of instruments than past covers, taking a lot of influence from Weather Report. After watching sets that friends performed at events like MAGFest and PAX, I want to frame more of these arrangements in a setting where they could be performed with a live band. Feel free to let me know what you think of that in the comments! More Sonic coming really soon!

0:08 pog
Edit: This guy's just so into it. It's awesome. Love to see he enjoyed making this.
I had a psychotic break and I'd imagine grotesque versions of my friends tormenting dressed as sonic characters becoming me to hell; this was the theme.
this is my fav rendition
Definitely feeling the live feels and dynamics here! You put a ton of love in that mellow spot as usual, I think I associate you with E.piano now!
Thank you so much Ro!! I definitely tried to capture that feeling of a real ensemble here, this is an arrangement I'd love to play live sometime. And yesss, I will gladly be the Latin e-piano boy of the VGM community!
Dude, I love the solos that interrupt the groove, very clever! Also, that reaction around 1:29 was adorable!
Thanks man! I definitely wanted to reflect the feud between Sonic and Knuckles in the beginning of the game with that solo break, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, the reaction included!
I haven't thought about this tune in forever, what a blast from the past! Really loved what you did with the tempo and groove at 2:10 - great work as always, brother!
Thanks so much, my man! I spent so much time in this level when I was younger, this tune has always been in my head. I'm super glad you liked the middle section, it was fun to put that together and try to make this boppin' melody more serene!
Smooooth!
Ok, now this is just amazing.
Thanks so much!!
*PERFECTION*
Great work, love those smooth/chill parts
Thanks Julien, I'm happy you dug it! That keyboard part was tons of fun to lay down :D
:DDDD My OC character took this up as her main theme, so. Heavy rotation = Yes 😎🥳✨
EPIC!! AWESOME!! OUTSTANDING!!!!
Super nice!!!! Fantastic arrangement!
Thank you Zach!! I'm real happy with how the arrangement turned out, I'm happy you liked it
XD that Knuckles shirt lol
Super sweet ^^
Good sound very relaxing ;)
Thank you! I had a lot of fun going in a more relaxed direction with this tune, I'm happy you enjoyed it :D
Awesome cover man! love the vibe!
Also, the fact that your hair acted like memory foam cracked me up a bit
GAHHH half of me was hoping no one would talk about it! LOL
I've really gotta work on keeping my headphone hair in check, haha. But yeah, thanks so much man, I'm happy you liked the direction I took this one in!
All tho I love your music! Very Catchy
Found your channel through the Snake Eater rip, this is some great stuff!
Thank you so much! This Siiva thing has been crazy, but I'm so glad to hear people like you digging what I do. Hope you stick around ;)
My boi has done it again
Thank you my boi
He knows da wae!!
Great job! :D
Thanks heaps dude!
How did this get overlooked?
If you enjoyed it, definitely consider sharing with some friends - that can help more than anything. Thank you for listening!
Oh? it is me or I haven't seen that mic before? xD Greetings from a old friend lol
Yep, I just got the Blue Bluebird a few months ago and this is actually only my third time using it on a cover! I'm excited to use it more though and keep experimenting with getting a good sound on it. Thanks so much for listening man, we should catch up soon!
Yeah, I saw after this one the other 2 lol Yeah, of course, I'm finishing my studio, soon we should do an collab xD
1:04 :O
Also the slow section (and the lead into) reminds me of the middle of Cheeks by John Daversa, check it out!
Thanks man! I had a lot of fun with that middle section, experimenting with creating what I had in my head with the sounds I gave myself (more or less!)
Hola! Me encantó tu vídeo, me gustaría saber en qué generó o clasificación se podría poner la música de los juegos de la saga clásica de Sonic, o para simplificarlo, en qué genero entra la banda sonora de Sonic manía, tengo una admiración muy grande a esa música y me gustaría saber qué genero es, saludos desde México!
Thank you taking this one up but it's way too lax. Need the hurried step-over feel.
It's a really nice treatment though, good work.
It's Deleted.
Hi! I'm happy that you enjoy my music enough to do something like this, but I would greatly appreciate it if you took this video and download down. I am looking into getting this cover up on digital retailers soon, and I would prefer not to have unauthorized downloads of the track floating around.
I fully understand that your intentions are good (if anything, it's a good reminder to get this track up!), but I'd appreciate you taking the video down. Thanks for digging the music :)
