ngl I was gonna scrap this video but like, I don't got anything else so uh banger i enjoyed making this video though, TH-cam's auto subtitle works well but urghh during music segments it just kind of stays there
Please don't scrap this video, it's gold! Even without musical theory knowledge, you managed to describe why you like this soundtrack so much, which is admirable to me
You have to realize that an average game on Megadrive was 8Mo 😕 Without the possiblility of compressing datas like today. They've managed to put an entire CGI opening in Sonic 3D blast ..! Wich was CRAAAZY at the time. A miracle , a technical prowess. Only CD rom and modern consoles had CGI. They fake 3D special stage were also a technical prowess. It can look riduculous now but at the time it wasunimaginable without modern chipsets.
@@michaelromeo9567 No worries! I was aware of the limitations with the genesis and I don't fault any of the tracks in the video, in fact I even have respect for them being able to cram a 3d intro inside of it. Both soundtracks are awesome
It's like Saturn music has that atmosphere of a joyful pre recording hidden in a dead apocolyptic dystopia. It's enough to make you kinda cry when discovered.
blud said "soundfont" when describing the instruments of the sega genesis its so over /j anyways, FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE UNGODLY SOUNDTRACK OF THIS GAME
The Saturn version of Rusty Ruin Act 1 is not only one of my favorite Sonic songs….but also just one of my favorite video game songs period…it’s a genuine MASTERPIECE. Great video! I’m glad you didn’t scrap the video, this ost needs more exposure!
honestly i only found out about this ost because of the mission music in generations and because of sonic speed simulator. but both green grove acts and “you’re my hero” are my favorites
Same! Along with Sonic Before the sequel, I remember hearing the music in generations and it was so sweet to my ears, also I keep hearing about sonic speed simulator, is it good?
@@noodlegirl8528 it’s just a roblox simulator but with sonic. it’s cool to see all the zones in it and play for a bit. there’s also some boss fights like metal overlord. i enjoyed it cause its sonic 😭
@@noodlegirl8528I can't say how good it is for new players because they've been changing progression recently and I reached the end game about a year ago where progression was also changing again. But it's definitely an interesting game, right now you can unlock super sonic and fight super neo metal sonic
+1 for the video, Saturn Sonic music are really at the top :) Also for those who think that cheesy love/pop song have nothing to do in a Sonic game... You don't understand what Sonic is : a cool character with a cheesy heart. Know that the ending of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 IS a cheesy pop song, which is called "Sweet Sweet Sweet" (/Sweet Dream), at last the instru of it, so if sonic 2 was on Sega CD, it would have been a song close to what we got on Saturn. Yoh, singing : "We lay like lovers in a warm embrace Your kisses thrill me like no-one before Baby, I'm all yours...."
I grew up on the Genesis version, which I still like, but man I love the Saturn version so much and it’s great to hear someone put my thoughts into words. Richard Jacque is a magician, I love his work on the Sonic Racing Transformed OST as well.
This videogame ost is awesome, and finally someone is talking about it! Btw, pratically all of the game ost have motifs of the main theme "You're my Hero"
Speaking of Saturn 3D Blast, every level has a one leitmotif that's reappearing through the whole level music and "You are my Hero" Also. I call it "Sonic leitmotif"
I've always loved how both of these soundtracks are fantastic and also entirely divorced from one another. Like not even remotely the same tone. Something about that amuses me.
BOTH versions of Sonic 3D Blast have incredible soundtracks. The Genesis version has the best snow/ice level music in series history - Diamond Dust Zone. The Saturn version has the best special stage music in the series history. Then we have incredible tracks like Rusty Ruin Zone on Saturn, or Volcano Valley on Genesis. Green Grove is equally good on both.
The special stage theme feels so much like Gran Turismo music, I swear if you slow the tempo down by about .75% it would fit perfectly before starting a race.
Thank you for making me realize even if the sonic game is somewhat bad. It still has amazing songs. All of these songs are going on my Spotify playlist.
Richard Jacques is an absolute legend. His soundtrack for Sonic R is pretty legit too despite the hate that game gets. You didn't even mention that the special stage music is a remix of Sonic 2's special stage music.
i always listened to this soundtrack. im glad people are making videos on it now. also i find it weird that sonic cd is always talked about having two soundtracks yet sonic 3d blast does too
this kind of sonic "Saturn Era" music is pretty unique, regardless of the lack of games in this era, ALL of this soundtracks are REAL BANGERS including Sonic Jam and Sonic R. Thinking about this soundtrack being post Genesis but pre Dreamcast gives it a strong identity =)
The funny thing about Senoue remixing his contributions to the Genesis version for SA1 is that apparently Japan didn't get the Genesis version of 3D Blast, so they only got the Saturn version in 1999, a year after SA1. Senoue has said that because of that, he put the music in SA1 so that the japanese audience could actually hear it.
I had 3D Blast and Sonic R on the Saturn when it came out. I had to be around 5 or 6 years old. Half the time I had the game on was to purely listen to the godly ost’s. Here I am 32 years old now and fondly remember EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF EACH SONG. It sticks with you. When I say this type of music I want to come back to the sonic series as a whole. We had a small glimpse of it during frontiers and especially the dlc. The Saturn generation and Dreamcast are overlooked too much in my opinion but thank you for shedding light on this!!😊
You're welcome! and I'm glad I was able to make a video about these songs, honestly remembering every single detail of these songs is such an incredible thing
14:11 Huh, sounds a lot like Lost Impact from Shadow the Hedgehog actually. I guess they've referenced this OST in the past too One thing I liked about the Special Stage track is that the stages themselves were always set up so you'd hear the piano solo at or right after the middle checkpoint, it really makes the solo give off a feeling of "you've got this, keep going!"
Happy to see more people know about Sonic 3D Blast OST. Also, i recommend you hear the album "Sonic CD Remix" it has amazing remix of sonic CD Soundtrack and it's made by the same guys that compose for the game (In the JP Version)
1:44 wait WHAT??? windy valley act 3 is remixed from 3d blast too??? how did i not know this, i've played both games and I HAVE BOTH SONGS IN MY PLAYLIST
This game's OST was also put in as Filler OST for Sonic Chronicles. The game wasn't very, finished, so they only really shipped out with what they had, which was slightly buggy, non-balanced, Midi Music, Stock Sounds, the like, it was held together with spit and wishful thinking. Interestingly, IX's final theme in Chronicles seems to be a remix of the track Story, from Shadow's OST.
@@noodlegirl8528 A part of me still loves the soundtrack, as it was one of my first Sonic Games. It was jank, it was awful, it sounded like it was recorded in a bathroom, but it was still a fragment of my childhood. I'm genuinely surprised that only the opening was made for the game itself music-wise, because I did not expect them to pull from Shadow at all.
5:37 hey, nice hair never really cared about Sonic 3D Blast, altought i played a little back in the day but i think i'll give it a shot just for the soundtrack alone Also, some of the osts feel like they came from Sonic Ova
Fun fact, you can put the game in your cd player and as long as you skip track 1, you can listen to it like a cd. I did that with mine so much I broke the disc. 😢
I really wish Sega would release a Saturn port/remaster of 3D Blast. I got introduced to 3D Blast through this dual pack that came with it and Sonic R for PC when I was a kid. I really loved the music. Years later, when I played 3D Blast again through Mega Collection Plus, I was shocked to find that the music wasn’t what I remembered. This is also how I learned that quite a few Sonic games had multiple versions, and through Gems collection, I also learned that Sonic R was supposed to have music 😂😂😂 (it was the same case for Sonic 3. S3&K on PC was my “gateway drug” into the world of gaming. I love the PC version of Ice Cap over the Genesis version). Through research, I came to figure out that the PC version was based off of the Saturn version. Not only is the music way more upbeat, but the visuals are, too. The Saturn version of 3D Blast is seriously underrated..
honestly i just wish it got on spoitfy and streaming services, Sega has bene realy good with not putting copyright on their music which is why I was able to make this video but they also just put everything on spotify so im waiting patiently
The 3D Blast Saturn OST is phenomenal and such a different vibe, yet very underrated, you’d likely see people comparing Sonic CD regional tracks but never 3D Blast and it’s different console OSTs, but that’s not to say the Genesis OST is bad, that one is still good in its own unique way. My favorite songs have got to be the both Green Groves, Spring Stadiums and Diamond Dusts!
Songs from the Saturn Era.... I don't know what is it about it, but I feel like no matter how many times they tried, it just doesn't feel the same, maybe its me, but I feel like they can only make that type of feeling in those music in that era. Even if that might be the case, there could be some fragments of that sound in other games. But yeah that is what my thoughts about it
11:36 I'll be completely honest, when I first heard the songs for these levels, the first thing I immediately thought was Indiana Jones escaping from a booby trap.
There’s some hilarious irony in finding the soundtrack to the Saturn version of “3D Blast” underrated when the same composer also did the soundtrack to “Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric”.
1) daytona usa championship circuit edition has music from both jun senoue and richard jacques, and their work absolutely sounds like stuff they did for 3d blast and adventure 2) the special stage theme is absolute fire 3) half the reason my best friend and I first met over 25 years ago was because I sat next to them on the bus for school and discovered they had the saturn version of the game when I had the genesis version... I even recorded some songs from my game on a tape and played them for him on the bus to ask if it sounded the same; he didnt give a single fck about sonic but said they were different, which made me push harder so we could hang out (I had a 32x and sega cd at the time, and still wanted the saturn, so it blew my mind that I had just met someone who owned one). We're grown-ass adults now and still like brothers 4) I played 3d blast on genesis via sega channel before the game launched; I know the game gets hate from people because Reasons, but it was a ton of fun as a kid, and my ma actually agreed to try and find it on launch day. I say there in a blanket playing to gene gadget on a cold november afternoon when the game first released ;_; 5) the musical theme/concept you're looking for is "leitmotif." Almost every song in the game calls back to the main title theme at some point.
thank you for the letimotif i will use it a lot in the future to sound cool, but also im glad you're still friends with that one person! it's always cool to have friendships last that long and knowing it was because of sonic makes it 10x cooler
Speaking of leitmotifs, besides this game, one of my favorites comes from none other than Shovel Knight. Jake Kaufman is a master composer in that regard.
9:34 I cannot lie, the Saturn songs fit this level a whole hell of a lot more than the Genesis songs. Plus, I don't like the Genesis songs for Diamond Dust Zone.
I think what really ties the whole thing together is the You're My Hero motifs that blast throughout the OST caus yanno it makes it feel like all one location caus the game does take place on that stupid ass island . (Also Rusty Ruins Act 1 bein skipped is a lil odd)
fifty seconds deep and I have some serious doubts about emerald coast and spring stadium :o I know a lot of genny 3d blast stuff was reused in adventure but I think that's a stretch......... you know, until I go and listen to both right now and try to decide if I'm crazy or not lol
Literally the best Sonic soundtrack of all time The genesis version is good, but there are some mid/bad tracks like Spring Stadium act 1, Panic Puppet act 1, Final fight, and the special stage. Also in comparison, both acts really blend together and sound the same just with slight differences ,with some exceptions. I will defend 3D Blast Saturn with my life idc
@@noodlegirl8528 well it wasnt official to be fair, it was more of a b-side project during its production. but its REALLY good and theres like 100 ish tracks made
For me, this (And a lot of other soundtracks) are tainted by Richard Jacques' behaviour, especially towards fellow Sonic musicians, Tee Lopes, and Bentley Jones. Which sucks so much, because this, and Sonic R (As well as Jet Set Radio, and so much more) are important soundtracks in my life.
ik what u meant when u said "soundfont" but the genesis music was synthesised in real time, closer to like a real guitar rather than a keyboard with a guitar sound (which is what soundfont would be, more like snes music). the drums however are sampled, which is closer to a soundfont, though it's still not a soundfont
Soooo much like Jun references windy valley, iYou know that first song n Sonic 3D Blast saturn,? You should go listen to "It doesn't Really Matter" from Metropolis Street Racer and see if you recognize something!
Definitely feel Spring Stadium 2 is the weakest part of the soundtrack. Like the circus is trying way too hard. The cartoon sound effects also make me angry for some reason.
Ok, that's an obvious bait. When people talk about 3D Blast's OST, they always talk about how great the Genesis OST is. When they talk about the Saturn OST, they say it's good, but not as good as the Genesis OST. How is it overrated?
Nah, to be honest, is still very inferior to the genesis one, also, some of the tracks dont even give me the feel of being part of a sonic game. Not bad soundtrack but not that memorable
ngl I was gonna scrap this video but like, I don't got anything else so uh banger i enjoyed making this video though, TH-cam's auto subtitle works well but urghh during music segments it just kind of stays there

Oh bet, I love the Outrun tracks (passing breeze is amazing) so I think ive already listened to it
@@noodlegirl8528 For sure, Passing Breeze Euro Mix is one of my favourite music tracks. SEGA Superstars Tennis was where I first heard it.
I've always loved how both of these soundtracks are fantastic and also entirely divorced from one another. Like not even remotely the same tone. Something about that amuses me.
which makes it really cool, you can understand why people would like each soundtrack
God dayum these songs actually go hard, thank you for putting it on my radar!

it seems everyone keeps saying that lmao i gotta play it sometime
I am so glad somebody is giving this soundtrack its flowers!! It’s SOOOOOOO underrated!
IKR ITS SO GOOOOOD AND IT STILL GETS REFERENCED HERE AND THERE BUT I WANT MORE ATTENTION ON IT
Imma get a lot of crap for saying this, but I honestly prefer the Saturn ost over the Genesis.
nah u real for that
Sonic Speed Simulator was kinda what really got me into the soundtrack as Green Hill and Emerald Hill use the Act 1 and 2 of Green Grove
The saturn version is in a nutshell: Sonic R's soundtrack prequel
pretty much
7:57 I do. In fact, the piano is my all-time favorite instrument, and on top of that, I love jazz, so I am biased to like this track
It feels like they were inspired by the Sonic CD JPN soundtrack
oh most definitely
Literally the only reason to play 3D Blast is to hear the soundtrack lmao. That and maybe the Saturn special stages
LMAOOOOO
Heroes is the most underrated for sure
I will be accepting plushies as a valid form of musical notation from here on out.
And I will NOT be told otherwise.
5:37 hey, nice hair
never really cared about Sonic 3D Blast, altought i played a little back in the day but i think i'll give it a shot just for the soundtrack alone

dont worry we are sane
SOMEONE recognizes this ost! I listen to green grove act 1 and 2 while i do my work and i ascend off my seat for some reason (i needa go to a doctor)
Songs from the Saturn Era....

You won me at this

So yes, the Windy Valley track is actually Green Grove. 👀
This soundtrack is insanely good 👌
The Saturn soundtrack is amazing. If you like it check out Metropolis Street Racer also by Richard Jacques

I realise Richards Jacques song green grove was reuse in sonic speed simulator
I still don't understand the random lyrics in rusty ruin, it sounds like "We didn't care about wise old"
Well did we? Me personally I didn’t care about wise old.
volcano valley act 1 sounds like something from smash bros.
real
Rusty ruin zone sound like sonic cd sound track.
Also if you want an example for a potentially bad sonic ost, check out sonic chronicles. It’s fire.
i do not want that shit in my ear drums
Understandable. It sounds like the entire OST was made in a day.
Literally the best Sonic soundtrack of all time
The genesis version is good, but there are some mid/bad tracks like Spring Stadium act 1, Panic Puppet act 1, Final fight, and the special stage. Also in comparison, both acts really blend together and sound the same just with slight differences ,with some exceptions.
I will defend 3D Blast Saturn with my life idc
YEAHHHHHH, I still like the genesis track but yeah saturn still better
I fukin love 3D blast. Mostly the genesis cuz damn does it have an atmosphere and yeah the saturn is good but i prefer the genesis.
you had ur chance to talk about chris senns incredible sonic xtreme concept music.
i did not know that existed whoops
@@noodlegirl8528 well it wasnt official to be fair, it was more of a b-side project during its production. but its REALLY good and theres like 100 ish tracks made
For me, this (And a lot of other soundtracks) are tainted by Richard Jacques' behaviour, especially towards fellow Sonic musicians, Tee Lopes, and Bentley Jones. Which sucks so much, because this, and Sonic R (As well as Jet Set Radio, and so much more) are important soundtracks in my life.
Dude a collab with all of them would be the craziest shit ever
ik what u meant when u said "soundfont" but the genesis music was synthesised in real time, closer to like a real guitar rather than a keyboard with a guitar sound (which is what soundfont would be, more like snes music). the drums however are sampled, which is closer to a soundfont, though it's still not a soundfont
my b for that one, someone else also corrected me so i apologize for that, im not familar with these.. terms.
Soooo much like Jun references windy valley, iYou know that first song n Sonic 3D Blast saturn,? You should go listen to "It doesn't Really Matter" from Metropolis Street Racer and see if you recognize something!
You missed panic puppet act 2 banger song (it also has the piano if I am not mistaken)
whoops, yeah as I uh possibly scrapping the video I kind of rushed some elements (you can tell near the later part of the video) so apologies for that
@@noodlegirl8528That’s fine! I know vids take a while to produce so I get it.
I find no similarity between spring stadium genesis and emerald coast
green grove is in the roblox game >_>
whoopsies
make a skibidi toilet video next
im putting that in my video ideas and if i ever make it ur gonna be in the description and the pinned comment
Uhh a good song from Sonic is obviously the title screen and uhh.... ehhh thats about it
uhhh yeah
@noodlegirl8528 sorry it was supposed to say Sonic boom not just Sonic lol
🔥💯🎧W Soundtrack🎧💯🔥
18:30 Female elon musk?!
Definitely feel Spring Stadium 2 is the weakest part of the soundtrack. Like the circus is trying way too hard. The cartoon sound effects also make me angry for some reason.
erm... but what about the unused tracks?
ermmm what the sigma (sorry)
ermm its ok (one of the unused tracks is just sa1's twinkle park)
w video
w
Overrated*
Mmmmm I love bait
Ok, that's an obvious bait. When people talk about 3D Blast's OST, they always talk about how great the Genesis OST is. When they talk about the Saturn OST, they say it's good, but not as good as the Genesis OST.
How is it overrated?
Nah, to be honest, is still very inferior to the genesis one, also, some of the tracks dont even give me the feel of being part of a sonic game. Not bad soundtrack but not that memorable
thats fair, the vibe of it doesnt fully match the sonic vibes so it makes sense
0:45 WTF?!?!?!?
hits me like atruck too
