I don't know, to me like it has more of a jazzy, relaxed sound to it unlike the JPN version that is very upbeat and erratic. I like them both, but I appreciate the US version more. It's easier on the ears.
@@Nitro_GamePlay The heavy baseline gives the song an air of determination. The second movement definitely feels more relaxed than the JP version, but it circles back to the bass-heavy beginning.
I feel like Sonic’s personality is diffrent in both versions of the game. Sonic seems like a careful, serious and more rational person in the US version, and in the JPN/EU version more reckless, cocky and always wanting action. Atleast the OST’s makes it seem so Edit: I know that Sonic’s portrayal of his personality is usually swapped compared to my comment in the two (or three) regions, the OST just made me feel otherwise
His artsyle seems like the polar opposite tho. The us being a more cartoony cocky and action while his jp art is more of a serious careful and more calm tone to it. Now that you mentioned it it's interesting to see the difference and the comparisons
I like how both of them make you feel like you’re traveling to another world, except this one sounds a lot more serious and almost mechanical like. I love it!
The US soundtrack sounds very focused, compared to the happy-go-lucky tune of the Japanese soundtrack. I like that. It's like he doesn't have a lot of time on his hands. The hog is on a mission.
I love this theme because it sounds like the music is wordlessly telling you “you certainly found your way to a crazy world, but never forget you’ve got a mission in this alternate realm, and you’re on borrowed time”
This is one of the songs which I love in both tracks. JP version has the Wacky feel a lot of the tracks in JP has. US version has a calm and atmospheric theme. Both are amazing.
I don't care what anyone says, but I really like Sonic CD. Having a more explorative game with some chill music (if you're playing with the US soundtrack) can be a nice way to have some fun. Also, these are my favorite Special Stages in all of the Classic games. I feel like it's the most unique and satisfying to complete.
I enjoy a lot of things about CD, but I'm not the biggest fan of its stage design. It kinda kills it in just about every other aspect that I'm more than willing to forgive its shortcomings, but there're other games in the series I'd rather play
0:55 the part I never get to hear because I always Run out of time Maybe the game hates me and doesn’t let me hear my favorite part which is probably why I also can never get a good future
@@sonicthehedgehog23145 US is tecnically a Motivation to finish your mission, but not so positive. JP is more Positive and Energetic ignoring the fact what you are in mission.
I remember playing the 2011 port of this game and trying to figure out what was the soundtrack button for. I switched to "USA" heard this song and got like "Oooooooh"
Special Stages (or known as Special Zones) are a series of seven extra levels. In order to grant access into these Zones, Sonic will need to have at least 50 Rings or more to make a Gigantic Ring appear near the end of each act. The objective in the Special Stages is to chase down and destroy all U.F.O.s (or Flying Saucers for short) for each one scattered throughout the land. If Sonic The Hedgehog can do this right before the timer is up, then he will be rewarded with one of the seven Time Stones. Like destroying all robot transporters in the Zones, obtaining all Time Stones will automatically change each Zone Bad Future into a Good Future.
Everyone is saying the JP one dosent fit. I GUESS, but this still gets those times where i cant concentrate. Also this sounds like the background instrument for the JP one wich would be the main instrument. Imagine that?
This track is kinda more grounded that JP. Maybe Sonic is being tricked that he is an alternate dimension, when he is really in a elaborate illusion arena built by Robotnik to lure the Time Stones away from Sonic. Or maybe use the Stones Robotnik already has as bait to beat Sonic.
@@faded9581 However, the special stages are optional, so how did he build Metal Sonic in playthroughs where Sonic never jumped in the big ring/ never got 50 rings?
@@drthvrdr Well it's a game about different possible realities, so the Metal Sonic that Sonic fights is likely from just one of numerous possible futures. This is backed up by the fact that Metal Sonic is always fought in the future, not present or past.
Is it just me or did I JUST now notice that one of Metal Sonic’s legs is golden yellow? Edit: Oh wait, it’s just the engine making it appear yellow. Never mind.
us sounded better than jp in my opinion jp just had a bunch of noise and it hurts my ear drums as with us it's very focused and not very loud with a set amount of instruments
iOS, Android, Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Steam. But yes, I came for this one too. And you forgot the Japanese Special Stage music is the menu music for the 2011 version when switched to the Japanese soundtrack.

Sounds more serious than the JPN version, like some car chase.
You ain't wrong about that

In the earlier days of gaming before full voice acting and cutscenes you kind of had to rely on the music to set the entire mood.
you got it twisted, in the us he's cocky, in japan he's more calm and serious
@@toamatoro570 Unless you had a good imagination, like I did. I watched SatAM as a kid so...
That's like the complete opposite
0:37 has always been my favorite part.
Same
same opinion
I like the start
same bro
X5 :)
This is what the future sounded like back in the 90's.
idk
0:35 That was so satisfying to hear what the hell.
eargas.... oh wait, i think the right term would be ascension
0:38?
Ascension embodied.
It literally gives me adrenaline and goosebumps
I like how both of them make you feel like you’re traveling to another world, except this one sounds a lot more serious and almost mechanical like. I love it!
Whatever the region, the special stage theme is fantastic

In a mission the hog is

JP: Have fun at the special stages!
US: *Don’t rush, take your time and get that time stone! By the way, get focused too.*
The us version made me focus and helped me getting the time stones
I can’t get over 0:37.
I love this theme because it sounds like the music is wordlessly telling you “you certainly found your way to a crazy world, but never forget you’ve got a mission in this alternate realm, and you’re on borrowed time”
Chasing UFOs in a psychidelic alternate dimension with a time limit.
After listening to his other works, I think this is the most ‘Spencer Nilsen’ track in the game.
Favorite song on the US ost for sure
This is one of the songs which I love in both tracks. JP version has the Wacky feel a lot of the tracks in JP has.
US version has a calm and atmospheric theme.
Both are amazing.
Why does this remind me of a music montage from Regular Show.😂
it actually does well spotted
i cant unhear it now thanks a lot 😭

Of course sonic cd is good that’s like something a lot of people think
I want the UFO chase to be given some recognition in present sonic games, it’s fun!

I think the Japanese version fits the special stages more, but this version in general just sounds better as a song.
Its a better treadmill song
4:19 comes my favorite part of this song.
Same

So the same thing?

When you have to re-make the soundtrack for a different region due to copyright reasons but then don't half ass it.
This music can be a good background music in a video
My favourite track on the US version!
The hog is is on a mission
I remember playing the 2011 port of this game and trying to figure out what was the soundtrack button for. I switched to "USA" heard this song and got like "Oooooooh"
i love the intense funky feel to this one!

God that last special stage took me ages to do as a kid.

Yeah Pretty Noticeable
Are you alright?
Ya know, a good chunk of us listening specifically to certain parts of these soundtracks already know that. If we didn't we could watch a tutorial
Everyone is saying the JP one dosent fit. I GUESS, but this still gets those times where i cant concentrate.
Also this sounds like the background instrument for the JP one wich would be the main instrument. Imagine that?
One of the Tracks I love about the US Version
The way this song got me at the Sonic CD Remastered Menu, was way better than I expected
Best version
Is it just me or does 0:41 make me wanna ascend
I like how both soundtracks are just two different kinds of drug trips
flash game music
This track is kinda more grounded that JP. Maybe Sonic is being tricked that he is an alternate dimension, when he is really in a elaborate illusion arena built by Robotnik to lure the Time Stones away from Sonic. Or maybe use the Stones Robotnik already has as bait to beat Sonic.
Or maybe....this illusion is where Robotnik gathered the necessary data from Sonic to build Metal Sonic.
boy you do have some solid theories

-But hey! That’s just a theory, a comment theory! Thanks for reading!
one of the only songs I prefer over jpn
Also the us menu theme in the remake
I swear I see you everywhere! What the Sam Hell is this?! But true.
Not really but when you change the ost In the ost menu then sure
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 0:01
0:00 does this sounds similar to a news intro
Underrated ngl
This makes for an insane ring tone
I like the JPN version more, but I like this one too
bruh Sonic’s been eating Mario’s mushrooms 💀💀💀
Love this track
0:25 is someone getting a haircut?
Main bassline reminds of Danger Zone somehow :|
Sounds like a crime show on abc
I don’t know why but this music makes me want to get a taquito
0:37 perfect
Is it just me or did I JUST now notice that one of Metal Sonic’s legs is golden yellow?
Edit: Oh wait, it’s just the engine making it appear yellow. Never mind.
2024: new video I made with this music
The video:
th-cam.com/video/XEsN8qGyocU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_xJbTi_THLwhffEH
Night car chase from the cops be like
So nobody gonna talk about this being the main menu in the 2011 remake?
(Also this goes for japan
This fits as a gym or training montage song
Treadmill
The feeling when someone at school cases after
Who is trying to cut Stones???!
Am I the only one who prefers this over the japanese version?
This is Also Known As The Menu Theme
this is probably the only track in US ost that i actually prefer
I use this theme to study :v
It doesn’t matter how good the music is, the last couple of special stages suck
This song reminds of a movie
Does anyone know the bpm?
From my calculations around 152/153bpm.
This will never, EVER, under ANY circumstance be better than the Japanese version.
Japanese version has a REALLY bad special stage theme. Go say that under Stardust Speedway or something.
@@genyakozlov1316delusional
I really have to look at every comment under US soundtrack uploads, they're so funny
AYO 3 DISLIKES WTF
Nobody talks about 2:09, but everyone talks about 0:35 or 0:37.
ring racers ring cup 2nd special
us sounded better than jp in my opinion jp just had a bunch of noise and it hurts my ear drums as with us it's very focused and not very loud with a set amount of instruments
Also no way anyone's gonna be playing one special stage for 4 minutes!
4:30
what did i heard
CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS
Where did SEGA and sonic teams get this song from?

But its only one from US soundtrack that i like.

I liked the Japanese version more.
@@siedemnastektrzydziestyszosty I understand liking the Japanese soundtrack more, but you said that there was only one good American one. Bruh
Yes, because this one is cool.
This is the only usa track I like better then the Japanese version

Who here bc this is also the menu music for the us pc version?
iOS, Android, Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Steam. But yes, I came for this one too. And you forgot the Japanese Special Stage music is the menu music for the 2011 version when switched to the Japanese soundtrack.
@@aaroncallahan1062 I knew that

One of the few times the US ost is better
Not the few times but it's always subjective at the end

Not really few. I enjoy both almost equally and the US version even more, so yeah, it really is subjective.
