Sonic 1 Music: Final Zone

[NDarkstriker]

first look at the level "oh wow" looks up *Splat* Game Over

[TanorFaux2]

Hey, did you know that the Sonic and Knuckles: Act 1 Boss theme sounds just like this? They start up the same, then the main song is just about the same. This is slower and different instruments, but, the other is faster and more up to date. I played both songs after another. This is the father of that theme. I noticed it first on Jemenj's remix of Final Zone. Then I tested it between the actual two themes. I never knew that, till I ran them both.

duran duran-planet earth

[SergeantLuke]

@18amarela Holy crap, you're right!

[Berzoutes]

Ahhh memories, beautiful memories.. *0:06* SH*IT!!!

[tombell12]

I think back to when I first beat this game, I literally ran to tell everyone of my accomplishment. You'll never see me run any faster. I am so friggin nostalgic I tells ya!

[MFRoosy16]

the good ole days???? i think yes...

[AlexGRFan97]

DIS - PENSER - DOWN

[Realsonicfan]

I can play this on my saxophone.

[ImAJ00guy]

I think the normal boss music sounds epic.

[GabrieluppeCH]

Classic song! This make me cry...XD

[moshi1001]

240p is the REAL HD

[Greatbonzz]

Thumbs up if this video froze at 0:07

[Dodgerfn5]

@Greatbonzz No it froze at 0:05.

[Gambito99100]

Duran Duran - Planet Earth

[Chongles]

this game came with the sega genesis when i bought it. T_T

[KrazyScruffy9001]

It would've been cool if this boss made it into Sonic Generations. I can picture it starting out the same before all the walls are replaced by pistons that completely surround you

[k4den66]

*Sigh* And here was hoping this would be remixed in Generations...

[LatinAssassin93]

@k4den66

part of it is remixed in sonic generations, Classic Sonic Crisis City :D

[k4den66]

@LatinAssassin93 I know. I meant the actual song, though. Not just a variation of the main tune.

[Darkscoper]

Robotnik is the American name, but if you're going to go back to his first name, it was Eggman in Japan before they changed it in America.

[TUFFGUYS1]

"Robotnik" sounds so much better and more badass then "Eggman" thumbs up if agree

[Warioware117]

i hate being born in 96. its a good thing i have a nostalgic heart for games through 89 - 98

[meltedmeth]

PINGAS!

[123liamp]

I suck at this part

[Koopastomper]

Man, I remember having to work so hard to get every emerald and complete the game...I want to do it again

[JokinJoe]

I love the epic bass of the Genesis sound chip...

[DopeDivinity]

This music makes facing the Illuminati sound like a thrilling challenge

[okeanos317]

@DopeDivinity it truly does

[speakerstereo]

@DopeDivinity lizards lizards LIZARDS!!

[supergamer88188]

This song is badass

[tylergirl1970]

Planet Earth Duran Duran

[DonCanki]

i luv the start around 0:01

[xxbatzu20]

this song always giving me goosebumps the time listening to it

[ooooooSCORPIONoooooo]

UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT A + START

[Ssonicmovies]

@ooooooSCORPIONoooooo UP C DOWN C LEFT C RIGHT C START (debug mode)

[Lym0re]

<3 my first video game

[Star00X]

I can't believe they made the Final Boss so easy...

At least for me, and i SUCK at Video Games.

[PimpnCereal]

@Matorothehedgehog I know, games were so much better back when I had to repeat that stage I already knew how to beat perfectly 12,000 times because some cheap ass boss at the end of the game.

Difficulty and Repetitiveness are not the appropriate ways to find difficulty in a video game.

[Iainofthemeteor]

@PimpnCereal But it makes the villain scarier, as he doesn't just "kill" you..... He ends your life AND the game, permenantly.

[Aaronneo1st]

@Matorothehedgehog hahaha, yeah back in the day when true gammers actualy spent money on magazines for secrets in the game, be it codes fo hidden cheats or extras, or just somthing random and pointless - always had to be the cool kid that could say you beat the game and "found out" all these secrets =p

[Alteisen92]

I love this theme. It fits very well the tension of the fight. You know, you get there pretty tired and it can be quite hard...

[miauw62]

I still have this game on my ps2.

MY FIRST GAME.

MY

FIRST

GAME.

Never made it to the final boss.

Ragequited when i lost on some far zone whit robots.

[stewa371]

@Matorothehedgehog

up, down, left, right A and Start together haha

[MInuhanyouM]

@stewa371 how about 19 65 09 16 hold a start 04 01 02 06  ;)

I've known that code by heart since i was a kid

[invokehazza]

@Matorothehedgehog Theres a sega classics game for the xbox 360 where you can save in sonic levels ;O

[EDRT5Y124]

Put the vidoe quality to 240p and your video wont stop in the beggining

[dfaster809]

wow im 19 now but i remember when i was about 6 and me and my younger brother would take turns, i'll do one level and he would would the next, he was only 4 but he was way better than me. I was just good at the bosses.Man I miss those days... genesis games are way better than some of these new ps3 and 360 games today, just good graphics but boring.

[Quadcentruo]

If, for some strange reason, someone is in a fight for their lives, this is what should be playing.

[thegeezerdan]

Hardest level in the game.

[kyubihanyou]

"Well hardy har har, three cheers for you.

I'm really mad now, you have no clue!

Arooo! I'm not listening (don't care)... motherfucker.

I'm waggin' my fist from the seat of my ride.

With these pokey fingers there's no place to hide!

Still not listening (I really don't care!)... motherf**ker."

[MagicKoopaMarc]

@kyubihanyou Anyway i'm goona f***in tear your f***in sh*t apart

Im gonna sh*t, I'm gonna fart, I think I sharted

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO ;)

[sharke76]

@MagicKoopaMarc XD

[DarkShadow5415]

@Matorothehedgehog Thats when you bring out the level select code. Think of it as your own "Continue"

[southy98]

@Matorothehedgehog  True

[southy98]

@Matorothehedgehog Made the game all the more rewarding when you finally beat it.

[RusYeti]

I was crying listening it!

[FaithStarLight28]

I love this tune :) It's a total "Right, this is it. It's now or never to save the world" tune :D

[HoshiSukiko]

@Matorothehedgehog That happened to me o.o

No lie ;~;

[tacozdkk]

i just did this song on the LBP2 :P...

PSN ID: ets22644

[WATCH1ME9DO8ME8]

I LOVE THIS GAME.....MAN I MISS THOSE DAYS...I MADE SONGS TO ALL THE THEMES SONGS ON THIS GAME

[Gambito99100]

THIS IS FUCKING EPIC



[RocketFoxStudio]

@Matorothehedgehog children are spoiled today with auto save and reset. 

[x0zirgoz0x]

@RocketFoxStudio True. The Sonic games on XBLA have a save feature where you can save anytime you want. It sucks some big brass ballz if you ask me.

[FluffMaster101]

@RocketFoxStudio Back in the 1990's we just played. We never gave a crap about what time we went to bed. We played that game till dawn.

[Iainofthemeteor]

@RocketFoxStudio And in many games, a superweapon that always works even if you have nothing to operate it with.

[nepomusik]

@RocketFoxStudio

In theory, that CAN be helpful especially for those who aren't hardcore gamers like we were back in the 90's...

[Kazumakiri]

@RocketFoxStudio Damn right.

[Figglewatts]

Robotnick sound like a villains name.

Eggman sounds like a coffee shop.

[Standard420247]

fix it so it don't pause ruins it

[MRBUnNYrUBBeraKaFlex]

I was so ready whoop his ass, I mean my hands was sweating from gripping the joystick so hard, epic game.

[Gambito99100]

After try 17 times, I finally kicked Eggman's ass in this zone

[RocketFoxStudio]

@Gambito99100 it's Robotnik! Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.Ivo Robotnik.

[Gambito99100]

@RocketFoxStudio Oh sorry, I always say Eggman because I hardly ever hear Robotnick, I just hear it when I watch Sonic SatAM!

[Hitmonchan107]

@RocketFoxStudio Apparently, the creator of Sonic says that Robotnik is Eggman's real name, but his alias "Eggman" remains more popular than his surname, thus why they stuck with it in recent games.

[TheBoyInBlack]

@Hitmonchan107 it's their way of keeping things constant internationally. in the west, his name was changed to ivo robotnik, and in japan, it was always eggman, but by the time sonic adventure came out sega of japan and sega of america decided to make it so that his real name was ivo robotnik and his nickname was eggman. that way it would be the same everywhere.

[ELzguy2000]

@RocketFoxStudio eggman

[DrIvoRobotnick]

@RocketFoxStudio

Pingas?

[SashuRui]

@DrIvoRobotnick

Nah, Piness! Oh wait, it's pushy... Dunno rly ._.

[TheBetaFox]

@RocketFoxStudio He's always been Eggman to me. Ever since Sonic 1. Problem, good sir?

[banannasticker]

@TheBetaFox it was eggman in Sonic Adventures. but before that it was robotnik

[MegaMacTV]

@TheBetaFox Yes. Robotnik sounds way cooler.

[Benjamingful]

@RocketFoxStudio wow, It looks like lyrics.

[Benjamingful]

@RocketFoxStudio wow, It looks like lyrics.

[robdelabassist]

@RocketFoxStudio its been Dr Robotnik as far as I can remember watching sonic on TV!

[MetalBru01]

@RocketFoxStudio Actully he was always called eggman in the original japanese version.

[Ringworm1281]

@RocketFoxStudio Actually Eggman is correct thats what he has ALWAYS been called in the ORIGINAL Japanese version.

[DarkDialga960]

@Ringworm1281 Robotnik was the name given to him when AoStH was on. Eggman was always his name, just look at the japanese commercials

[MrKiddieland]

5 people failed at this level, and they are probaly all 8 year olds that can't pass it, haha!

[travelsonic]

Lame.

I beat this game on my own before the age of 8.

[chemicalbomber]

@travelsonic Age of 5 for me, but couldnt do it with all emeralds.

[iwrestledababyonce]

I think THIS is what the sonic games SO epic. Just listen to this... it screams epicness...

We've obviously been babied on on awesome midi tracks our whole lives, so of course games these days don't deliver. They are on a COMPLETLY different scale!

[crosbymalkin07]

its 6oclock eastern standard time on judgment day and im blasting this

[sonicfangamer2]

best 19 second song to loop. (excluding intro verse.)

[DarkSuperTails]

@Matorothehedgehog Not when you're four buttons away from level select on the title screen :P

[Shaoz049]

@DarkSuperTails my friend taught me the code and it's still embbeded into my head XD. *Glad the codes work on Genesis Collection on 360 XD*

[predatorX9]

can some one give my a notes of this song? or just say them? p.s i can hear the "string" chords but i cant recognize the begining part and the guitar chords please help ! :)

[TheGuitahHeroe]

@predatorX9 Main melody: A B C D C B C E, then A B C D C B C F G G#

Chords: Am, F, G, E (1st inversion)

[TheGuitahHeroe]

@TheGuitahHeroe sorry, make that F chord an Fmaj7

[predatorX9]

@TheGuitahHeroe thnx man :) meybe you know the guitar one's? well i mean that chords on bg

[Quadcentruo]

This final boss music is better than whatever final boss music crap that may be on the market today.

[gbc187]

love this 1 too...took 4ever to kill tht bastard but i loved it

[Robotnik1able]

Get robotnik sonic kick his egg-shaped ass go SONIC!!!!

[Harkz0r]

Though I have long contested Sonic 3 & Knuckles to be the best platform game in existence - right from the day I played it, in fact - Sonic Adventure was actually a great game in my eyes. The soundtrack was awesome as well.

Also, SatAM was the best Sonic show, by far! I LOVED the shit out it as a kid. It, along with other Saturday morning shows, made me get up on time, religiously (and I taped many episodes, too. why oh why did VHS have to die)

(and I know the quality was bad, it's rhetoric)

[Chongles]

EPIC

[kabooby0]

I used to play this level really slow so that I could listen to the music longer : 3

[AZWification]

The final boss wasn't that hard, but I got really nervous because I got NO rings!

[GeografoNerd]

Curse you, pink eletric thing!

[chamiltonkid]

Lyrics:

Ha-Ha-Ha HA!

I will get you (Dr. Eggman, Dr. Eggman)

I will rule this world (Dr. Eggman, Dr. Eggman)

This is the moment of truth!

[Kelick]

@chamiltonkid No fag

[chamiltonkid]

@Kelick What do you mean?

[akienos]

@chamiltonkid Thumbs down for faggotry.

[Gregory2590]

Elevators as the final boss? Must've been some powerful elevators.

[raphaelgoulart]

@Gregory2590 And it had windows!! Damn, that was an awesome elevator!

[DarthKain0]

@Gregory2590 Pistons, actually.

[DarkSuperTails]

@Gregory2590 Huge, steam-powered steel pressure pistons with a cockpit so the good doctor can get a front row seat as he watches his nemesis get crushed :P Not elevators

[FlyingDuckMan360]

Lyrics:

You're in Final Zone! (Good Luck, Sonic) Here's a fun game I like to play, guess which capsule I am in now, you better stay out of my way, because you will never win now, and you'll be really flat! You will get one chance every round, If that doesn't work, you'll get shocked, before I smash you in the ground, or shock you out your shoes and socks, what do you think of that?

[Wiintendoh]

I personally think this theme is better than S2 AND S3's final boss theme.

It's pretty much saying this is the last stand, and if you fuck up, the world will fall in an endless darkness. Lol xD

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Wiintendoh Are you fucking SERIOUS? S&K's final boss theme EASILY blows this terrible song out of the water.

[Wiintendoh]

@OmegaPrimePhazon Yes I am fucking serious. S&K's theme sonded awful compared to this masterpiece. Did you even LISTEN to it? The instruments were bad, it was all over the place, and it sounded mediocrily arranged together.

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Wiintendoh lawl. Well no, S&K's theme is the best out of the four.

[Wiintendoh]

@OmegaPrimePhazon Last time I checked, people had opinions.

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Wiintendoh They do. But some, such as this one, are completely and utterly wrong.

[Wiintendoh]

@OmegaPrimePhazon You're being a troll. Go home.

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Wiintendoh But I'm being honest.

[Wiintendoh]

@OmegaPrimePhazon It doesn't matter if you're honest. Your point is still invalid.

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Wiintendoh But this song is nothing compared to the other.

[Wiintendoh]

@OmegaPrimePhazon That is in YOUR opinion.

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Wiintendoh No, it's a fact.

[Wiintendoh]

@OmegaPrimePhazon FACT: a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth.

OPINION: a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Wiintendoh But it's completely certain that S&K's theme is way better.

[Wiintendoh]

@OmegaPrimePhazon Obviously I can't change your mind. Goodbye.

[xSk3MEx]

LOL Straight rip off of Duran, Duran PLANET EARTH. LMAO but way better IMO

[MrMattyvibes]

this is a little too fast here from what it was in the game.

[MrMattyvibes]

@MrMattyvibes before all you haters start tripping - i now realise perhaps there is a difference between PAL and NTSC(50 hz and 60 hz) but there aren't any noticeable speed changes for the music on sonic 2.

[icemanjayketchum]

Remind me of when I thought Ben Rothlesraperberger might come back

and beat my Packers in da super bowl....but all was well in the end ^_^

I'm so thankful, yeah this music and THAT moment made me nervous as hell

I think Sega intended for this music to be this way ^_^

[TheCkfeister]

shiz when i was fighting this bitch i had all of the emrealds.No continues,on last life because of act 3 and i killed but i fell of the edge and i got pissed >:(

[Gimodon]

I remember as a kid I always imagined the part at :06 (for example) was saying "he's Robotnik, He's so scary" Ya I was weird

[wildjaredissowild]

Imagine fighting this boss if there was water that traps you for about ten or more seconds if your in the wrong section to attack Eggman... Then, you would have a hard time avoiding the lightning bolts, and you may get the drowning music!

[Thewoog34]

The SNES might have had a much higher quality sound card, but just compare this to the Super Mario World final boss. Nowhere near as good as this.

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Thewoog34 Lololol. Mario World's final boss theme is so much better than this.

[Thewoog34]

@OmegaPrimePhazon That's your opinion.

What do you think of the S&K final boss OR doomsday VS the yoshi's island final boss?

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@Thewoog34 No, that's a fact.

Yoshi's Island final boss is vastly superior.

[janospraves]

@OmegaPrimePhazon just becuase you say its fact doesnt make it so im afraid

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

@janospraves But it IS a fact.

[blooboy4747]

@OmegaPrimePhazon no, it's a highly supported and agreeable opinion.

[FireRedSparkeon2]

[insert number here] people expected to have rings on this stage.

[PurgeTheGods]

Am I the only one who thinks the initial "riff" sounds a bit like "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran? 

[thatguystan1]

@joostrevo maybe she's scared of the music? to young ears it does sound........creepy

[dimmuborgir82]

@thatguystan1 =)

[HarrisonFordJr]

Final Zone isn't epic? Sounds the most epic to me.

[redsblackipod]

I always wondered how it didn´t have an epic name like

Death Egg Zone

X-zone

The Doomsday Zone

am i right

[quakecon2009]

I want this tune pumping out at full blast when they lower my casket into the ground :)

[dopeazfukk]

@quakecon2009 lmaoo that would be ill now that i think about it

[woolfkrazee]

to me this sounds sad almost :(

[Subliminallll]

@woolfkrazee

Yeah it's got a sad set of note progressions in it, can't deny how fucking epic they are though.

[woolfkrazee]

@Subliminallll

Yeah ;D

[MrTommyRevolver]

Who can help me find the midi files

[MrTommyRevolver]

Who can help me find the midi files

[Detachstudios13]

Wow I just crapped a lil bit

[hiram765]

*First Time Playing Final Zone*

Me:Huh?,what´s this?

*Giant Thing Comes down*

Me:FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUU-

[KingZeoX]

What saddens me most is there's no epic remixes of this song. Theres a few good ones, but none worth putting on my iPod.

[SethTheArcticFox92]

0:00 - 0:28 would make the perfect cellphone caller ID tune for your mother XDD

[TheWaddledont]

@SethTheArcticFox92

*rings this*

Sorry gotta take this

[MonkeyCha0s]

@SethTheArcticFox92 once i hear the first second ima be like "FUCK THIS BITCH AGAIN!?" nah but i love my mom...i do...

[r3di0n]

Sonic Only

No Rings

Final Zone
