Sonic 3 & PC Music

[TheGrungeGamer2]

A little different than the original for Genesis.

Michael Jackson really did have a lot to do with the Genesis version. PC...not possible. I guess it had a lot to do with legal ownership or something.

[Gorekiller6]

Lol the first time I played this as a kid was on the pc... Good memories...

[Izovtobbelltv]

please create rom hack!

[JessicaIngmann]

@Izovtobbelltv Can't! D: Wouldn't know how. Dunno if anyone else would be interested in doin' it either.

[hermesleao]

@JessicaIngmann Sonic 3 & PC?WTF DUDE R U DRUNK?

[JessicaIngmann]

@hermesleao REMAIN CALM. NOBODY IS DRUNK. I JUST WANT A TACO. With like... super spicy chorizo. :9

[hermesleao]

@JessicaIngmann I'm just saying that it's NOT called Sonic 3 & PC.It's Sonic the Hedgehog 3.SEGA didn't ever make a game called"Sonic 3 & PC".This is just the PC version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

[KingXero1]

I'm siding with genesis versions on this one. They fit way better. no offense to those who do like the pc ones better.

[irpratt86]

this sucks

[JessicaIngmann]

@irpratt86 NO U

[lilmattere]

@irpratt86 just cause you like mario

you suck

[TheGrungeGamer]

As much as these tracks are alright...I'm gonna say that I feel comfortable with the Genesis version's tracks. Michael Jackson fit well with this game's persona.

[Valet2]

Thanks for the video! Any information about the authors of these midi pc-version soundtracks?

[JessicaIngmann]

@Valet2 Same guy who did the Sonic & Knuckles soundtrack (Howard Drossin), I reckon. o.o

[RG7621]

THESE TRACKS ARE WAY BETTER!

[lilmattere]

@RG7621 are they?

[RG7621]

@lilmattere eee-yes

[garralogia]

This is because Michael Jackson made​the songs in the original game...

[MaxRideWizardLord]

Do you play it on PC? where I can download it?

[munchluxe63]

How'd you get rid of the original game music without removing the sound effects?

[sonicmann101]

any way i can put this in a rom yes?

[JessicaIngmann]

@sonicmann101

While that WOULD be awesome, this isn't a ROM hack. I'm sure it can be done, but I don't have any Genesis GYM data for those songs myself. Just MIDIs. :(

[gjtrue]

Michael Jackson's music was FAR better than this garbage. WTF did they replace Knuckles' Theme?! That was the coolest beat in the game! As well as the "Act 1 Boss" theme!!!

[EnigmaHood]

@gjtrue Agreed. The MJ tracks were incredible. It's what made Sonic 3 stand out so much, the music was just so amazing and awesome.

[ThePatrickinator]

What I realized is that your video has unused Sonic the Hedgehog 3 songs since Michael Jackson wasn't happy with the songs in the game when it came out on Genesis.

[ThePatrickinator]

This could be an add-on to Sonic and Knuckles collection for the PC. All the PC songs are in Sega Genesis soundfront.

[alsoRichards]

The second act was one of the better songs on the PC version. Great stuff.

[Vengeancereborn]

the pc ones feel comepletly out of place with the original soundtrack, they might as well of not bothered or changed the whole soundtrack.

[ThePatrickinator]

It would made more sense if these songs were in Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the Sega Genesis.

[ThePatrickinator]

I'm going to make a video as tribute to these songs you did a very good job composing it into Sega Genesis Style.

[ThePatrickinator]

Thanks for composing these songs. I was getting tired of Michael Jackson's songs on Sonic 3. Besides, he died anyways.

[EnigmaHood]

@ThePatrickinator So... when a musical artist dies that means their songs suddenly become poor? You're an idiot.

[ukasuran90]

Do you have mp3s of these remixes? The MIDIs sound amazing, probably the best that's out there for the PC version of the levels. :D

[JessicaIngmann]

@ukasuran90 Yes! :D I'm happy ta report that there's a download link that contains all the music files in this video AND the missing Sonic & Knuckles ending theme (AKA the "unused tune" as everyone calls it)! Download link in the description. ^.^

[ukasuran90]

@JessicaIngmann OMG thank you so much!!! :D

[Mysterious0Bob]

The originals are vastly better than thisuninspired shit.

[RobochaoXX]

@Mysterious0Bob Yo Bob, what do you mean? You hate the midi to soundfont conversion that the PC only songs when through in this video? Or do you just hate the PC exclusive songs anyway.

[HyperRush79]

Ice Cap 2 Sounds good.

[CightonProductions]

I remember playing Sonic 3K on my PC...

[Hadriex]

Uhh... I definitely like the Genesis Sonic 3 songs more than these. The songs are interesting, and I liked the different versus song, however. The sound quality is excellent.

[videogamer810]

You make music a lot better than you play.

And yes, that is meant to be both a compliment to your mixing skills and a jab at your gaming skills. Which way will people vote this comment, up or down? Tune in next week to find out!

[JessicaIngmann]

@videogamer810 XD No no, I appreciate this kinda comment! I'm so outta practice, ah hah hah! X3 Thanks fer the feedback!  :D

[luigibarqs]

About time these track got more of a Genesis-like conversion, epic stuff indeed.

[SoLinkSmash]

and intro of knux too

[SoLinkSmash]

so we officially know which songs in Sonic 3 MJ made:

2 player menu

Carnival Night

Ice Cap

Launch Base

and Credits

[footbigmike]

You know, a lot of this isn't as horribly ear-disfiguring as it sounds in some videos. Competition actually sounds decent, and Ice Cap is better with the more prominent bassline. And I really like Launch Base, minus the Act 1 intro. But of course, when I say better, I mean in terms of other versions of the same. The Genesis tracks still rock my socks off.

Excellent video.

[JessicaIngmann]

@footbigmike Thanks! It's not so bad in MY vid because I went ta the trouble ta map Megadrive/Genesis SoundFont appropriately ta various channels in the MIDIs in MIDI-editin' software. X3 It's not yer average "LET'S PLAY SONIC & KNUCKLES PC" vid ta be sure! :D

[Luigi84289]

I have the pc version some place. Carnival zone's theme is much better than the Genesis version.

[BuzzsawtheHedgehog]

Very nice. The PC Music sounds SO much better with the Genesis/Megadrive Sound Format instead of being poorly-done MIDIS. They still don't have the awesome flair and style that Michael Jackson's music of this game have, but they're a nice try. You want to know BAD Sonic music? ALL the music in Sonic R. Good God, who wants to listen to Euro-Pop in a Sonic game. I still think that in Collection versions of Sonic 3, this music should have been a choice.

[marioroxmysox]

1:19 I want that mp3!

[MixerProductions]

This is awesome sauce. makes me appreciate the PC music better since I hate crappy sounding Midis

however I never heard anyone say they dont like the original IceCap theme :0

[JessicaIngmann]

The vid description was mostly sarcasm. XD I VERY MUCH enjoy the original Genesis stuff!  Just that compared ta the Genesis stuff, the PC stuff is largely upbeat and chipper. o.o It's VERY strange!

[JosephCollins]

You should be proud, Jessie. This is a pretty fair amount of work you've done. Most of it sounds like it belongs in the game, too. (Which I'm sure was the intention. XD) Not entirely sure about Launch Base Zone 2, though. I think you could've picked slightly different samples for that.

Also, where'd the sound effects during the introduction of Knuckles go? Get lazy? ;P

[RecFreeMedia]

Good job mixing the music with gameplay footage.

[JessicaIngmann]

Thanks! ^.^
