So true, went with family to a casino on 4th of July and felt nostalgia from playing this game long ago. They have all kinds of theme slot machines, from popular movies to stars like Elvis. There are Sonic theme slot machines, but they should make one geared particularly toward Casino Night Zone.
This one song is definitely my favorite in the entire franchise, it just brings me so much memories. Even as a kid i thought this stage was special, I used to look at the city in the background and imagine there was people living in those buildings. Thinking about that always made me feel kinda melancholic for some weird reason...
That’s the reason we all enjoyed things better, as a kids, we don’t think about any other problems, no bills no work, just chilling out with our video games, and letting our mind to take us far away
Yep. I had my mom's Atari 2600 as a little boy, and slots was my favorite game, so in middle school I got prematurely nostalgic, and spent crazy amounts of time on those in Sonic 2. Oddly enough when my grandmother has given me $20 to spend at the casinos, I've just played penny slots, and pocketed a guaranteed $15, while she and my mom have actually lost money.
Fun Fact: When you collect 50 rings and turn Super Sonic, then go to the slot machine and get all 3 eggman, you have 00 rings but your still Super Sonic...
Huh didn't know about that but I did discover an infinite lives cheat in Sonic 1 that nobody else seems to know. You have to use debug mode. Finish an act with no lives left, switch into "item placement mode", position yourself below the ground, switch back to Sonic, fall off the level and die. If you time it right, it'll load the next level before it loads the game over screen. Congrats you now have infinite lives.
Man what a genius level. Sega was on fire in the 90. I was the only kid with a sega I remember everyone wanting to come over to see the casino level. You beat the boss by playing pinball! God times were so good in the 90s 😭 now everyone would just watch a 10 second clip of it online, judge it, and think they got the same experience.
@@manitoba-op4jx The same character. He was known as Eggman in Japan and Robotnik in North America. Now he's known as Eggman in all over the world. His name is actually Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Eggman is his nickname.

Welcome to the Casino Night Zone Baby, I Just wanna mess around Tryna hit that Golden Jackpot! Let's date like loves a game When you win or lose Just try our luck And see, where it goes!
Sonic 2 was one of the earliest games I can remember playing. It was part of some CD game collection and occasionally I got to play Sonic 2 in particular. I was young and inexperienced so I never beat the game but I do remember getting to this stage and it always stuck out to me. The elevators, the light of the city in the background and the slots and bumpers. It left a good impression on me as a kid that fascinated me about video games
man... i loved this song so much. i would leave the game and listen to this till i ran out of time. it was also probably the best level on the game. i love playing the slots.
god, this brings back so many memories. This was the only game i had for the genesis for a while(had a snes with a ton of stuff.) but every second was pure joy.
I'm one of those weird people because I only like the first 6 seconds of the song. But would listen to the whole thing, and getting happy when it comes on again... Instead of just rewinding to the beginning lol Idk... I'm weird.
+Dragonking3787 Theres a track in mario kart called Ribbon Road. theres a small little section that has only 6 notes before it goes back into the main part. those 6 notes are my favorite part of the entire song, no matter what version i listen to
Lyrics: Iiiit's Casino Night Zone! Enjoy your stay! Casino Night Don't spend your money here! It's a trap, ya' hear! Don't spend your money here. You might win once or twice... But then you'll pay the greatest price, of Bankruptcy, You lost all of your rings! You come in rich, and you come out so poor! You'll drop dead on the floor, Cause of those spiky orbs! Your profits are all lost! As soon as you reach, The boss. As soon as you reach the boss. Just as soon as you are dead (here we go again)
This theme always makes me wanna walk up into a fancy/flashy establishment, dressed in my finest duds, as money falls all around me and I flick playing cards Gambit- style, lol :-)
Fuck I forgot how awesome this song was i didn't want to finish the level because it was that good just always tried to get the jackpot and just stayed in those big U tube things see how high i could go lol
I’m currently laying by the pool in Mustique island staring at the clear night sky with the most incredible stars I’ve ever seen and this song was the first thing that came to mind.
When I used to play this game on the Genesis as a kid back in the '90s this level's stage music would always remind me of some pastime moment of history. My mind would envision something from like the 1950s.
Um jogo tão divertido e inocente que fez parte da nossa infância, nostálgico e ainda com uma trilha sonora humilde dessas... Só no lixo do Brasil para as pessoas nos escarnecer por termos sentimentos. Como dizia Victor Hugo: a música expressa o que as palavras não conseguem.
I'm 99% percent sure this was based on some really old folk or popular song that I heard when I was like 2 or 3 years old, but I can't remember what it is, and it's been tormenting me all my life.
Dude, then we have to find that song. You are the key to the way too- If you've found this in some other source, I'll do what I can from my little computer to help you find it. Because, yes, I'd happily help you for no reason, but I would like to know too
LegendByGod I know, right? It's so surreal, being the only link you know to a piece of musical history. It seems like things are just being erased all the time. Even information about things as recent as the 90s can be near nonexistent on the internet. It's like Atari Teenage Riot says - The Collapse of History. Anyways, I'm going to be a bit occupied for a while, but I'm going to snoop around the folk songs list on Wikipedia. They usually have samples/performances because this stuff is public domain. And if they don't well that's where good old personal research comes in. If that fails to bear any fruit, maybe these people can help? They work with the LOC. folkmusicarchives.org/
***** I swear that when I was a child playing Sonic the Casino Night Zone ALWAAAAAYS made me think of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up". Maybe you guys can confirm? This has been making me feel like a madman for the last 20 years!
You have the same feeling as BDN? I got to hear that song for myself. BDN, this make sense to you? That's sweet, your input may have saved the day Wait a second though... What's been making you feel like a madman for the past 20 years? If the two songs correlate?
LegendByGod Because they only barely coordinate, and I'm pretty sure it's entirely coincidental that they kinda sound similar, plus I've never heard anyone else feel the same way.
The slots annoyed me, so I tried to avoid them. Those fuckers that bounce you around in a big clusterfuck also annoy me. At least the slots were easily avoidable. The enemies annoy me, but at least it's not as bad as the ones on metropolis or oil ocean. But, oh dear god, the boss. I hate this boss so damn much. I hated this level as a kid, still hate it now.
As a kid back in the 90s, I'd listen to this when my grandparents went to the casino. Who would have known YEARS later that I would listen to this very song when I go to Greektown/ Motor City Casino? Memories
Actually he was originally Dr. Eggman in the original Japanese games, and renamed Dr. Robotnik in the states (don't know why). But yeah, the name Eggman is canonical.

Same feeling. Very strange you articulated how I always felt about it.

Has anyone spent more times on the slots than actually progressing thru this level?
I have
guilty as charged homie 😎

Oddly enough when my grandmother has given me $20 to spend at the casinos, I've just played penny slots, and pocketed a guaranteed $15, while she and my mom have actually lost money.
There was a time when I started to get only Eggman on the slot machine and started progressing after that.

This song should be in the Casinos...
yeah it should neo light
Bruh this music would sound mocking if you start losing money.
Yes
100%.
Pure childhood memories.

How high are you?
I hear it buddy, don't have to be rude (several pounds of meth).
Kendrick Drake do the voices tell you to do things?
+Luigi Gaskell
^This.
wowwwww lol just noticed that!!!!!
This song would be in anybody's head after hitting the jackpot 10 times in a VEGAS casino.
SEGAS casino
I agree ^~^
If I hit the jackpot 10 times in a casino the only thing I would be hearing is my alarm clock to wake me up
this song is too calm for that kind of scenario
Yeah, Security would be just humming this song away as you get escorted from of the building and blacklisted for life.
Man what a genius level. Sega was on fire in the 90. I was the only kid with a sega I remember everyone wanting to come over to see the casino level. You beat the boss by playing pinball! God times were so good in the 90s 😭 now everyone would just watch a 10 second clip of it online, judge it, and think they got the same experience.
As a kid playing this, this song made me want to see what a casino was really like. I thought all casinos were this cool lol
Too lazy to finish the stage. Need to gather as much Rings as I could.
Sendy Lie That exactly what I did. I was able to get 300
+Airtranlover Too bad extra lives don't happen after the initial 200. I think I once managed to collect around 400.
IT DOESN'T?!? Freakin MIND BLOWN O-O
Stalling taken to a whole new level
90 rings and BOOM triple Eggman
When you isolate the bass in this song, you can totally imagine the bassist going to town, plucking those strings like crazy.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ..
Omg Thank you I didn't realize how much I needed to imagine that with this song again x) now the picture is complete lol

am i getting “mew is under the truck’d”
What if u use a genesis emulator
damm, if I knew that 30 yars ago :(
Does it work on official emulators? I have the game on Switch Online and Ultimate Genesis Collection.
One of the most chill levels in Sonic 2, and definitely one of my favorite songs. Kinda Nostalgic.
Almost 1 million for a genesis generation game. Shows how epic sonic really is.
"Oh, no! The time is ending and I am in the first slot machine!"
You know I was just scrolling through the comments saw your comment said nice then I realized OH SH*T ITS A COMMENT FROM 10 YEARS AGO

Star Light Zone and Spring Yard Zone had a child!
Except Starlight came after, didn't it? So it'd be SYZ and CNZ had a kid and it was SLZ?
I don't even know. SLZ and SYZ have similar mechanics and settings.
No Star Light Zone came first.
star yard zone
spring light zone
@Cybonix Sorry, I mixed them up. We all make mistakes like that. Don't call me stupid for making a small mistake!
Thank you for putting this up. This took me back to my childhood playing this game, and to my childhood hero.
this is a good beat to snap your fingers to
What a groove! Masatu Nakamura is a genius.
Yes he is i have a whole bunch of hits i remixed becuse of this guy G.O.A.T
I always "sang" "IT'S DONALD DUCK" at the beginning part (at 4-5 sec) as a kid. :D dem feels
change it to donald trump
no no no
man... i loved this song so much. i would leave the game and listen to this till i ran out of time. it was also probably the best level on the game. i love playing the slots.
When I hear this, I think to myself, "Let's go to Vegas!"
*gambling intensifies*
No joke, I started humming this song to myself once at The Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas. No shame 😂🎲
god, this brings back so many memories.
This was the only game i had for the genesis for a while(had a snes with a ton of stuff.) but every second was pure joy.
There was a time when I couldn't stand this track let alone the zone. But years later, I find myself loving it again.

0.5 aint too bad either ;) But thanks for the tip! ^^
same! (only with completely different songs)
The first 6 seconds are the worst part imo. The rest of the piece is legendary
