[labirinthcat]

[ChaoGarden5]

i wish this level was in sonic generations,

:(

[NekoMasterMax]

When I was a kid I use to play the game just for its music, sometimes keeping the genesis on for hours listening to this among other music tracks. Oddly, this always makes me think of Canada (and to a lesser extent the Rockies)

[ZaGreeNTHUndeR78]

Sonic: Why is the lava rising?

Rexon: Oh GAWD!!!!

[DannyStrikesAgain]

Listening to the whole song in work, LIKE A BOSS

[TVisawesome432]

Hillbillys has a Sonic level.

[miymoto128]

@TVisawesome432 I always think it sounds like a hillbilly song



[supernitendex7]

this is like the best track on the game

[VuileTeef]

Redneck Zone.

[kurbypinky]

When u run out of music...or american music lets you down, video game music will always be there.

[SoloWingCipher17]

@kurbypinky When you run out of game music...

you're out of good music.

[LSA2013]

BEST TECHNO COUNTRY MUSIC EVAR!

Pa! I cant shoot dem sumbitches, i'm drownin in that lava!!

[zachsims520]

Sonic:AHHHHH TAILS WERE IN....REDNECK CITY

Tails: -_o' *starts thinking about kfc*

[catraquinze]

this theme makes any sonic fan feel high

[1998mrsonic]

and its AWESOME

[1998mrsonic]

it sounds like a western song

[blahblah1164]

"for the first time on video we see the rare blue hedgehog and mutated fox"

[PixelationMusic]

this is and always will be one of my favorite songs in any sonic game

[xxAliceAxx]

One of my favorite Zones and Music tracks. :]

[jorgandar]

This is by far my favorite track from this game. love it ;)

[GalaxYSmokaH4Trilli0]

Epic Sax Guy?

[Amnamnimnus]

This zone looks like prehistoric Canada

[JackDaScarecrow]

Just me, my headphones and a bucket of fried chicken.

[SupaMarioX]

This level gave me boners because I was so nervous about falling.

[caquimay]

What a lot of wasted hours playing sonic.... I would do it again :')

[spacechannelnoob]

Boy,someone is smexing that saxophone! XD

[beachboy2883]

@spacechannelnoob Nah he's beasting that saxophone!

[DeoGuy]

I always feel so bad for abandoning tails in the lava XD. Miles gets his shit fucked up the WHOLE game!

[13AxelRoxas]

Sonic: Hey Tails Jump down there and see if it's safe ok?

Tails: Yeah ^_^ (Fuck you Arsehole)

*Jumps on the on the lift thing*

Sonic: You Bastard D:<

Tails: Ah i feel so safe. ^_^

[Rudanycz1]

this song gives me a phat head nod ;)

[DopeDivinity]

This makes my worries Melt Away.

[peepsg]

I wish it was on brawl or Sonic Rush

[Therealjoe2010]

*While bouncing back and forth on springs rapidly*

Sonic: "Who puts springs in the middle of a damn forest!?"

[sonic9477]

c cool

[UnDeadSkater21]

Isn't this like disco or something?

[adam18man]

Phil of the future with this theme lol

[Fawful99]

Childhood memories. :) 

[xNaiveDaysKidx]

epic.

[MrVariousmusic]

This is my fav off sonic 2. Thanks 4 the upload dude

[13ssbbfan]

The second-best music in the game.

[Cam3leon]

The coolest tune in the game. Always played this joint in the Sound Test and it always reminded me of Stevie Wonder :P

[Alemirex]

Me and my cousin used to play this game growing up...i remember we used to humm this song alot, he recently passed away at the age of 26, thats why i am here.... Nostalgic reasons :\

[DragonAurora]

@Alemirex Sorry about your loss....that's really sad. I hope these songs bring you wonderful memories. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

[Alemirex]

@Alemirex i am 26 :)... we were born on the same year 1984 And thank you

[epic88]

@Alemirex bro, sonic makes me think of my lil bro, he died in '03 at the age of 20, i feel ya pain

[Alemirex]

@epic88 Damm..thats worst, im sorry about your bro, but you are right, lots ot people on our generation will have memories attached with friends and family via Sonic games and classic mario *sigh*

[ashleababy01]

Idk but for some reason when I was little, this song used to make me laugh because of how the beginning sound XD

[GeezizJooz]

Shaun Ryder totally copped this song for "Reverend Black Grape".

[leakesonasucs]

Play that harmonica

[J3niizero]

[sonicKAI]

@J3niizero:

Sega Logo Font.

[jjyhawk1]

@sonicKAI LOL XD

[MrTroydninja]

@J3niizero Sounds like a girl crying in that song!

[Deltasubject52]

this should be a jamiroquai song! xD

[Xeotroid]

Best game ever

[lilhood12345]

2 people got stuck on the 2 yellow springs facing eachother

[Boxanadu]

@lilhood12345 Two people never made it to the top of the rising pit of lava in time.

[DejaBlue95]

Out of 153 ppl...2 ppl got left behind in the rising lava part...how sad

[HuggyHuskyIsBack4U]

This is one of my favorite levels evah!!!!!!

[thrashmetalfiend]

This level's music makes me want to eat fried chicken.

[j00ztube]

Beginning sounds like a cat. MEEEEOOOOOWWWW.

[haruspisces3]

This song has got it goin' on.

[QuesoGr7]

When I hear this song I hink

"Hey paw! There's a yeller fox out der wit a spiky blue critter!"

"SHOOT DAT SOM BITCH!

[Shogunelite]

@QuesoGr7 So happy i'm not the only one

[QuesoGr7]

@Shogunelite

Same here lol

[Moley87]

@Shogunelite You're not the only one by a long shot. DKC2 is one of my favourite games of all time and I dare say the soundtrack, along with Sonic 2's, are right up there in my 'charts' too!

[Arrowwulf]

@QuesoGr7 MA GET MAH SHOTGUN IMA GO SHUUT DAAT BLUE BASTARD

[SupaMarioX]

@QuesoGr7 *Bumps into you* OH FUCK I AM SORRY.

"Hey paw! There is a yeller Fox out der wit a spiky blue Critter!"

"Shoot the son of a bitch!" and shut the fuck up you idiot and do your work please and stop wearing polyethelene gloves!

[QuesoGr7]

@MrTroydninja

[SpearRocket]

@QuesoGr7 That'd be Eggman and Snivly.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

@QuesoGr7 i think of dying from rising lava.

[MrTroydninja]

@Pimpmastahanhduece That music sounds like a baby crying!

[BortPlate]

@QuesoGr7 It's comin' right for us!

[DejaBlue95]

I remember when I was young and J would always get stuck at the part where the loop came and you had to roll up into a ball to dig into the ground. Lol

[BlueDiamond258]

For some odd reason this song reminds me of going camping.

[ToonLinktheFairy]

*Looks at the foreground*

Hey, Hill Top Zone has the same foreground as Emerald Hill Zone, but it has different palette.

[Pieman9002]

@GameWhiz13 Did I die in the Rising Lava part? D:

[soravsseph]

@Pieman9002 -dies in the lava part- I did :(

[GameWhiz13]

2 people died in the Rising Lava part.

[TheDoodlibop]

@GameWhiz13 ah ha ha ha! lord knows how many times i did before i got it right. xD

[MetroidFission]

lol this zone's boss was the easiest...

[boomslangish]

reminds me of an intense summer crush during the first stages of puberty junior high.

[gavin486]

it looks like emerald hill zone but wierd

[DocRavage]

Man this music is totally insane. It's like I'm tripping on mushrooms, and I've never done that before.

[Kirbyrules1000]

dam i hate this zone but i love the music

[gameaventer11]

dont steal mines too!

[popgoestheweaselable]

god, i remembered when tails ALWAYS used to steal my lift

[PTDigi]

@popgoestheweaselable Lol true! It hapened to me a lot and I used to hate that D:

[chaozZX3]

@popgoestheweaselable

LMAO!!!!

BLOWN

[Samman296]

The first part sounds like someone trying to squeeze out a fart. LOL

[tarik1735]

I alwayed hated the Lava and the ground when it started movin' whin I was young. I always got burned and squished. But now I use It 2 my motavation.

[xmisogyny]

Watch out for the fire!

[Souljacol]

i used to like how if you stopped, sonic took a knife to tailz throat

[leakesonasucs]

gotta love that harmonica and electric roc organ, makes a good combo!

[electric926]

I love this zone solely because it meant I got past the damned casino zone boss.

[Sanandreas33333]

I Remember stealing the lift on my brother when we played together, it was fucking hilarious.

[Systemofashane]

I tried playing this game again recently and this level killed me :(

[heather769969]

I really don't know why, but when I hear this theme, I think of mosquitos and farms O_o

[OverEpic]

@heather769969

I thought of cows and cacti.

[squidfish2]

@heather769969 I'm glad I'm not the only one... :D

[popgoestheweaselable]

sounds like gospel music on 0:11

[8748091]

i like to turn into those travel things and float to where ever it takes my ass, untill i here the gong sound, then i do the same shit again. I like this song its so chill like.

[DarthSkittle88]

Best part of this zone was going through it until you found those two yellow springs facing east other and you let Tails get stuck ricocheting between them endlessly.

BOINGBOINGBOINGBOINGBOINGBOING­BOINGBOINGBOING

[mistersonic93]

My favorite part to this level was the background

[Ultima7132]

When I played this level, I figured it was more laid back, but still challenging since it's a bit later in the game. Then I got to the lava part and I was like, "Oh, SH**!!"

Lol, Of course I did not say that then, since I was like nine and knew no swear words. So I just sort of gasped and went, "Oh no oh no oh no. RUN SONIC!"

[MrRenard7785]

To me, this sounds kinda odd without the occasional "ercha ercha ercha" sound of the lifts... Still love it though! :D

[jsaulgodoy]

for some reason this song reminds me of outkast...idk why....

[GANGBUSTER101]

I used to call this zone Death mountian zone :P

[Boxiloid3000]

high above Green Hill, yeeehaw

[xXTitoman66Xx]

I remember I would always try really hard to get to this level just so I could listen to this music.

I was pretty young so didn't know what a soundboard was. lol

[superdarksonic16]

this is still the best old sonic game ever

[AgentMidnight]

This music is now stuck in my head

[irismey]

Green grass and eating hay.

[katakisLives]

This was a really fun level! I loved the scrolling clouds in the background, the effect was amazing at the time!

[matnmrtstkmd]

SONIC KAI UR DA BEST MAN THANKS A LOT

[MegaMan123ABC]

"Whos Weeping?!"

All Hail 2 Masato Nakamura!!!

[KnezFreakMan]

First thing I said when i entered this zone was "There's f****** lava!"

[JackDaScarecrow]

@KnezFreakMan i said where's the fried chicken???

[CrappyCappy]

My faverite level in this game

[beachboy2883]

Sonic kai thanks dude i get so much enjoyment from listening to this kind of music

[GOLDsonic105]

While this zone uses some sprites from Emerald Hill, and the far off background is a bit out of place, I liked this zone a lot. Rising lava, and lots of fun loops. I don't see why many considering this their least favorite zone. That would either be Sky Chase or Casino Night to me. They just offer no challenge, and are very slow paced.

[gambitking128]

people hated this because of the lava caves and whatnot, rising lava back in those days did not work out to well (at least it didnt for me)

[strwberryletter23]

@GOLDsonic105 especially casino night because it was mostly traps involving the slot machines and bumpers hill top zone and metropolis zone are my favorite zones cuz the challenge and the music

[GelatinGhost]

I was about to thumb you up, but then you insulted the two best zones in the game. Who cares if they aren't hard, they're so damn FUN, and their music is insanely good (especially Sky Chase). I could spend all day playing those slots, and Sky Chase Zone really hits home the fact that you are almost done with the game since its so surreal. Sure they don't add much to the challenge, but they sure as hell add to the total experience, and make it one you won't forget.

[GOLDsonic105]

@GelatinGhost: I agree that they add to the overall experience, but like I said, I don't get why anyone would consider Casino Night or Sky Chase one of their favorites. Mind you, I don't dislike them (I like every zone in this game to at least some extent) but they are kinda dull to play through to me.

[GelatinGhost]

Well I guess we just have a different set of criteria for what makes a zone good. Nothing wrong with that.

[GOLDsonic105]

@GelatinGhost: Nope, nothing wrong at all. :)

[zetamaniac]

i dont know but people seemed to put a lot more effort on their work in the Good Old times....i grew with this =)

[tubebammy]

a level for dem dang on Hill Billys

[TheTietokonevirus]

tulee aina mieleen TEBOIL

xDDDDD

[regnarBO]

electronic country. The wild west with computers lol

[Impul23]

Hahahah, best way to describe it.

[DX721]

As much as I love sonic and this song, I have to say i cant help but to think of a toothless version of those little animals singing at the top of its lungs atop a grassy hill... riding the vine gondola.....above lava for some reason.

Or a hick bear...lol

[toddmilhouse]

It's sounds prissy to me. i can't explain it but this is definitely a favorite for me when it comes to the music. Level design did ramp up a bit of difficulty but non the less it was fun. =]

[AeroCarol]

sounds so texasy! fits with the whole hill top idea

[maralade646]

''Just cool down, relax.'' I could just imagine those long neck guys dancing to this music.

[Sunquan91]

Me to I know the feeling did the same with my cuzzens

[vlad0integra]

reminds me of those long saturday mornings where me and my cuzzo would be playin this gaaame alllll daaaaaaay lol

[LowCaloriePie]

Easily my favorite track of the classic Sonic titles. =]

[viperxphantom]

yea

[YokoX23]

ah... I loved this zone and music. the zone was kind of a pain, but it reminded me of marble zone (actually thats not a good thing) and the music was cool.

[zolo1243]

This song is funny to me.

[Sunquan91]

Dis my shit

[Sanandreas33333]

A mix of hillbililes And Sonic

[Gopherbassist]

Hillbillies? How to you get hillbillies from organ, piano, bass, and harmonica?

[troysson81]

The lead instrument. Sounds kinda like country if you don't focus on the other instruments backing it up.

[warioware654]

Love the instruments in this song.

[sidekike3]

the Best!!

[judgejeremy4]

It's probably the last time we'll hear music like this. Savor the sound!

[handofstand]

ROMs of this game and others are ubiquitous. You don't have to leave with the memories; you can relive them.

How is it wrong if no one is making money (I am referring to Sega, of course) on the game?

And no, you are wrong. There will be others in the future that shine as brightly as Masato Nakamura, Johnathan Greenwood, Ludwig van Beethoven, the list goes on (proving my point).

[judgejeremy4]

I don't recall mentioning money...

In the future; sure. But, they cannot be them.

[DaJaeff]

i love sonic and all the songs in the games. they are a complete masterpiece of art. still when i reached THIS zone i thought that the music and the zone itself somehow dont fit with the rest of the game. i dont mean its bad... its just different than the other stages in the whole color sceme and musical sceme i guess

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

It felt almost Mario-ish.

[firespin97]

Chemical Plant and Hill Top FTW

[handofstand]

I love heights, so Hill Top Zone was one of my favorites, too! :D

[qwerty02rawr]

-chews on a grain stalk- this is great to just relax to :)

[benjamillion]

(grabs a bong)

got that right bro!

[bluedragon2123]

Best level and Music in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 !

Thanks SonicKai, you've made my day =)

[DarkMaker75]

I love all of the classic sonic games. They had the undisputed, BEST MUSIC EVER! Thank you for uploading these.

[ZeakTheScorpion]

My most favorite level and song!

[superdarksonic16]

this game take you back in the old days

the best old sonic the hedgehog game ever

[NEMBC]

By far the best music on Sonic 2! Well to me that is.

[Sold07]

Hellll yeah

[bbbzzz234]

@NEMBC I've literally gone through all the songs in order. They're ALL good :)

There is no best, although I have a few favorites.

I wish more video game songs were as catchy as the sonic 2 and 3 soundtracks.

[QuesoGr7]

@bbbzzz234

There is. Like Donkey Kong Country 2 has some bitchin music! :D

[50stangs]

i used 2 love how if u stoped 4 a bit sonic would lay down and wait 4 u lol

ahh good times

[garciajames3152]

Thank You SonicKai for putting this video up for us to enjoy!
