That and Mystic Cave go crazy, the robotnic theme at the final stage is hard too, the end theme is dope asf as well. I used to sit and play the music in the menu on a lot of Sega Genesis Games, they had dope as scores......Yessir the 90s
I was grabbing some booze before at a bottleshop, the dude at the counter was like "weird question, you seem the same age as me, do you like retro games?" and I'm like 'fuck yea bro. sonic, zelda, mario, pokemon, smash bros, metroid, etc.' was good.
Jeremy Seal Yea man. I've played them to death though lmao, most of my love is just nostalgia now. New games can have some really good stuff. When I was a kid I would unlock sound test on sonic 3 and knuckles, and then just listen to that.
this is what all the new sonics don't get...these older sonic games had FUNK as the core of the soundtrack.. the newer ones completely miss this and they don't feel "sonic-y" for me because of it.
The original creator of Sonic 1 & 2 music wanted more money for Sonic 3 music, as it took a lot of time to create the songs, but SEGA refused him - despite him making the best music in the entire series since Sonic 1 & 2 music is/are arguably the best.
@@OmegaRedFanOf course, but this was purely about the pay as he wasn't being paid much at all whilst he poured his heart and soul into it - hence why Sonic 1 & 2's music is generally loved by all.
This entire soundtrack encompasses my mid-90s childhood in a nutshell. I don't know how many hours I spent playing Sonic games back then. Such good times
My first genesis game. I still remember going to a garage sale, my brother and I had never played Sonic before, and so the guy selling the system with the game hooked it up right there in the driveway for us to try. It's stayed one of my all-time favorite games since then.
The music from the late 80's to early to mid 90's in video games was something special. I used to collect retro games then it got too expensive so I rely on Virtual Console and Steam these days but listening to these soundtracks bring back so many memories.
I remember I was on the sixth emerald Ready to win... Omg 2 rings above I need! Almost there! I'm gonna win! _"OOH LOOK MINES!"_ _"TAILS NO!"_ **Hits** _"Lmao oops"_
Shadic The Hedgehog Tails was awesome in the classic games in every way EXCEPT for the special stage. "Tails, I know it's mating season, but the mine is NOT the place to do it".
When nostalgia gives you a hug for 39 min. So many years spent on this Sonic in the 90s with my big brothers. I realize now how good was the sound designer, damn I even started to dance on some of them on my chair! Thankfully I can still play it on my ps4 🥰
@@Oysterblade84 "Political correctness" almost exclusively exists in western countries. The rest of the world couldn't be bothered, especially not Japan.
@@赤青白 But this game was 30 years ago, the world was a different beast back then to what it is today, even if Japanese devs don't give a monkeys about offending someone, once the game comes to western shores it can easily be modified to appease the community and cut out anything that might offend someone, just look at Streets of Rage 3 for reference. Of all the Disney films getting remakes, I reckon we will never see a Pochahontas remake on the basis that someone will find it offensive.
Yes! Best level to play as 2nd player Tails because then you could hop on the vine-sliding-platform-things and mess up whoever was playing Sonic big time XD
tom flynn If Hill Top were real, I'd go camping there, except far, far away from the lava. The tone of the music resonates outdoor adventure or pioneer to me.
I can't help but to agree. Next to Nintendo (which I Am a Nintendo Loyalist), Sega did give Nintendo a run for the money, not only in graphics and gameplay but catchy tunes that IMO out classed some Mario Games (SOME). lol Whats bad, is that I'll be around 60 years old and I'll be able to hum these tunes on Sonic 2. Every song here is catchy and can get you bopping your head to the beat. Chemical Plant is ..."probably" the best one, cause it's a Funky fast tuned song (song sounds like it comes from an 80's theme club song lol).- Can anybody actually Dance to this song? I could. My 2nd fav is Hill Top Zone, 3rd Oil Ocean (Egyption theme anybody?-freaken awesome.) And last but not least, Sky Chase Zone !
regularsharp Same way with chemical plant zone and that oil zone for me since I could only make it that far at 4 years old xD had to wait until I was 6 to beat it
for me, it was the very end, at 39:27 hearing sonic's old theme again at the end of the credits. that was really nostalgic to listen to this whole soundtrack again.
@@PKSkyler You know, I'm not real nostalgic for Sonic 1 music. Which is strange, because my copy of Sonic 1 is the one my parents bought me, packed in with my Sega Genesis, way back when.

My 2 faves are mystic cave zone and oil ocean. Mystic cave gives you that funky vibe and oil ocean gives you a touch of Arabic and Indian music mixed together Also I just noticed how I’m replying to a 4/yo comment
@@10k_kiji Nice! My faves are Casino Night, Hill Top and Metropolis. Casino Night sounds like you're stood in the middle of Las Vegas, Hill Top has a kinda Mid-western United States/Canadian feel and Metropolis has that industrial Grunge feel. BUT, Mystic Cave would be a very close second, along with Oil Ocean. And Emerald Hill. And, y'know what? They're all my favorite. Also I really like Wing Fortress' theme, it sounds very millitary.
It's amazing how the quality in the sounds progressed as the series went on. Sonic 1 is VERY simple, Sonic 2's synths sound a little more sophisticated with a lot more going on in the background, and Sonic 3&K really figure out how to create full atmosphere and an entire world with every song.
The music back then was so well thought out for every stage !! Hearing these gives me goosebumps ! Takes me back to a time I think many of us long for today !!
There are few VG soundtracks that are absolute perfection start to end, and even fewer on the Genesis. Sonic 2 is without a doubt the greatest, nothing else even comes close. These crazy tunes inspired by jazz and prog rock pushed the soundchip to its absolute limits, and the result is magic. TEN OUT OF FKING TEN.
I think i shed a few tears just now I remember being the only kid in my class that had a sega genesis everyone was a Super Nintendo kid I felt proud of being a sega kid!! Seeegaaa
+Marios Sklavenitis they sure did man. The music in Sonic 2 was a huge advancement on Sonic but both are really good. The Sega Saturn had an amazing Yamaha sound chip too but unfortunately hardly used as programmers were lazy and most music was streamed off the CDs. There is something real cool about the FM synths I agree.
bruh i use to rap to all these up to sonic 2 on dreamcast...i use to try to make lil love songs with sky chase...lol..memories that will go to the grave
I love every single track! I especially like the ending credit scene when there is clips of the music throughout the game played in segments! Fantastic game, fantastic track, and fantastic time of my life.
As soon as I heard 'Emerald Hill Zone' (1Player version) back then, I *knew* that I was witnessing a gaming masterpiece being revealed. Unforgettable opening stage theme.
I know every beat and tone! I must have played this game 99% through almost...100 times? x,] I beat it about three or four but man...Eggman is no joke at the end, there! LOL!
This music and this game are part of my DNA. It's been nearly 30 years since I last played this game and I still know every note that is performed in each track

GOD this brings back soooo many memories ...i remember when i was in primary school and i always had time to play .... now i have none
God did Yamaha make some good fuckin sounding synthesizers. Cant believe this is still synthesis. sounds like a modern edm song
+Marios Sklavenitis they sure did man. The music in Sonic 2 was a huge advancement on Sonic but both are really good. The Sega Saturn had an amazing Yamaha sound chip too but unfortunately hardly used as programmers were lazy and most music was streamed off the CDs. There is something real cool about the FM synths I agree.
Late 80s and early 90s... the golden age of the synth for me.
Nostalgia really hits me hard with this game in particular. No other game hits me like this.
Boss music goes HARDDD 19:18 just remember getting double hits. was like 2 machines colliding! "grrcthchhh grthchhh"
Hill Top Zone makes my heart happy…
dude me too! that track is dark as Sh** but sooths my soul.
19:18 one of the greatest boss levels songs ever.
wow... how can every track be amazing!! 👏🏼
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember just closing my eyes when it go to the Sky Chase level. Pure funk heaven 14:21
I know right. I love that track to death. So relaxing.

TheSquabs126 you're awesome
These comments are pure love and are making me smile. Wishing I was a kid again
Sad 😭
Dude this guy was on a roll. This is such an amazing soundtrack. You can tell he plays bass lol.
Both Metropolis Zone & Mystic Cave is slept on 🔥 📛 👨🚒
the first sonic will always have a special place, it was my first console and game of my very own but I think I like this soundtrack better.
That brought so much JOY to my heart, so many memories. Thank you.
This has to be my favourite game soundtrack of all time! I grew up with this gem, and still love the game and music 😁🎵🎶
Hey there, I couldn't help but notice your profile and wanted to say hello. How has your day been so far?
Sky Chase Zone Music is so fantastic.
It makes me feel nostalgia, I love it.
One of my favorite games. One of my favorite soundtracks. Thanks for the upload.
All of this makes me so incredibly happy.
saaaameee
saaaameee
Funkiest song ever:
8:55
LOL... oh god, this brings back good memories. It is a jammin'.

You guys should listen to Sonic 2 HD Alpha's version of this. It is badass!
❤❤💖💖
Love your profile pic!
Chemical Plant Zone was always my fave soundtrack. I just used to sit there sometimes and listen to it lol
I love every single track! I especially like the ending credit scene when there is clips of the music throughout the game played in segments! Fantastic game, fantastic track, and fantastic time of my life.
5:14 Casino nights always reminded me of the Vegas trips I went on with my parents.
I can see every level for every song, just from memory.
As soon as I heard 'Emerald Hill Zone' (1Player version) back then, I *knew* that I was witnessing a gaming masterpiece being revealed. Unforgettable opening stage theme.
Yoo mystic cave goes hard af. And oil ocean is Egyptian af, god I love it all..so many great memories and feels!
I know every beat and tone! I must have played this game 99% through almost...100 times? x,] I beat it about three or four but man...Eggman is no joke at the end, there! LOL!
This music and this game are part of my DNA. It's been nearly 30 years since I last played this game and I still know every note that is performed in each track
The songs of those games were remarkable!
A shame the games after Sonic 2 had a different composer,
Sonic 1 & 2 had the best music of almost any classic game..
Man i miss cassino night, aquatic ruin and oil ocean, best stage ever
Do you miss Oil Ocean? lol i hated that one.
+Ivan Caroselli same
Radicalbeast 167 Yeah.. it was so tricky and long. And the boss was kinda hard.
Ivan Caroselli I never beat that boss Always Made me lose Rings I never made it pass so this is why I made it Pass To Wfz(wing fortress zone) Good but I have my Ways
Ivan Caroselli This was a meaningless Thing i typed
30:26 was also the temp track for the infamous Genocide City level.
