Sonic 3 Music: Ice Cap Zone Act 1

[gjtrue]

Thumbs up if you'd love for SEGA to add this to Sonic Generations as DLC! 😍

Wouldn't you love to see this stage in HD?! Classic Sonic snowboarding from the cliffs & crashing/exploring the caverns? And then Modern Sonic escaping an avalanche?! His gameplay more akin to Sonic Adventure appearance of "Ice Cap".

Only of course with Sonic 3's cooler MJ version!

[LeonardoAndreMoreira]

This Really music!!

The best ever!!!

[KCwellard]

Sonic was a very big part of my life as a kid... and now I find myself coming back around and remembering, and embracing Sonic's new stuff too.

[ImNotYourFriend212]

This one always seemed to terrify me. I don't know why.

[AntoG1986]

Damn you YouTube, why isn't this viral yet?

[Tantemify]

this was the stage when i manage to get all 8 emeralds and use sonic's godlike power.

[TARDISES]

@Tantemify

Don't you mean 7 emeralds? Yes, this gmae DOES have an 8th chaos emerald, but that one is a setcret that cannot be accessed in the regular game, and non-canon.

[EvilNecroid]

my favorite sonic 3 level cause i like ice and i love this music!! sooooo awesome

[anilas2388]

Awesome beat

[ariesmajor]

annie are you ok?

[facelessred]

This is the song going on my Muic player when i take a snowboarding trip~

[GreenBlockland]

I listen to this and use Realtek HD Audio Manager to turn up the karaoke to +4.

[111gamerguy]

@GreenBlockland Cool Story bro.

[GreenBlockland]

@111gamerguy Go tell that to the second top comment.

[amberthesuperfox]

thumbs up if this is the sonic that plays in your head when u walk to school on a snowy day

[ACPlayer619909]

wonder if this will be on sonic the hedgehog 4 episode 2 on the snow stage

[ObsceneBastard]

long live michael fucking jackson!!!!!!!

[sparta944]

Composed by Micheal jackson

[kyubihanyou]

@sparta944

and Arranged by Brad Buxer, Bobby Brooks, Geoff Grace, Doug Grigsby III, and/or Darryl Ross, Buxer being the most likely of them based on his known arrangement work with MJ.

[nljuggalo]

@sparta944 Dope.

[AccountErrorBot1]

I'd play this theme if it's snowing in my city. :D

[SuperRockchic101]

@AccountErrorBot1

It hardly ever snows here...

[JQNB808]

i cant believe michael jackson was the one who did the sonic 3 music

[mozzeche]

it's just me, or this tune (that is awesome) is one of the saddest things ever?

I don't know why...but it sounds so SAD!

[Wiintendoh]

Sounds amazing in headphones

[SuperRockchic101]

;)

[realjoeshow]

I got past the barrel after like 30 seconds

[KiWatchvids]

i actually beat the barrel. its just when i was like 11. its not really as nostalgic as it was when i played it when i was young though. :(

[Gggmanlives]

dat snowboard!

[kinkinkijkin]

I beat the entire game a while back and don't remember ice cap zone at all.

Time to go play it again, been a good 7 years, give or take.

[AzraelLeichten]

I bet PewDiePie hates that barrel too.

[NachtDerSins]

*patiently waits for Sonic Generations DLC with Ice Cap Zone in it*

[TheBigJAL]

@MelMeikoMeiLing I think I actually got past one barrel by jumping... only to get stuck next time.

[DadoLuv]

I remember when i was 8, I used to play this game with my big sister, when we arrived at Carnival Zone, we were deadlocked by the barrel. 1 or 2 years later, I finally successed to get over it by bouncing with the bubble on the barrel lol, and I played this zone lonely, because my sister had moved house...it was sad to can't share the pleasure of reach this zone with her..

[cristianodominici20]

Ice Cap >>>>>>> Sky Sanctuary

so why is the second one in generations? ice cap would be much more better

it would be realy cool if sega started to make a sonic generations 2 with this zone included

[TheBlackhawk2112]

I miss being a child...

[AntoG1986]

My favourite tune from Sonic 3.

Thumbs up if you agree.

[MatterSplatterMan]

@AntoG1986 More like my favorite song in SONIC HISTORY!

[AntoG1986]

@MatterSplatterMan. Defo my favourite Sonic song.

[yoshifan444]

@AntoG1986na i think doomsday zone music is better

[MrEagleFace]

@yoshifan444 In my opinion, Hydrocity Zone is best.

[ZeroknightC]

@AntoG1986 I agree, this is your favourite tune from sonic 3, I don't really have any reason to disagree.

[Xfactor12345]

Should have been in Generations, all the Sonic fans out there would have greatly appreciate it

I know i would. =)

[HoudiniJr100]

@Xfactor12345 as would I, or launch base, either of the 2 would be better than sky sanctuary...but that was good too...

[RobertTheAlmighty]

666757 views. I just missed that magic number

[VenomStryker]

I don't remember this stage! WTF!

[heyparisray]

fudge, now i have to find fountainherz



[NeoSonic121]

FUCK That Barrel, how was I supposed to figure out, press Up & Down at 4 Years old, especially since I managed to glitch my way under it by jumping on top of it repeatedly, so that was the technique that I thought you were meant to use, not even Super Sonic is safe from the TIME OVER screen.

On a lighter note, when I went Skiing with my school to Austria this was on my MP3 on loop the whole time… Ahh! good times =D

[Akwakwaful]

When I woke up this morning, I saw it's snowing in my town. Immediately , I had this music in mind.

[XshadowskaleX]

Oh this music, surely it came from heaven. <3

[gjtrue]

@fountainherz WTF are you talking about?! Alien Ant Farm's version is the rip off! MJ's "Smooth Criminal" is the original that came out back in 1988. 👍

[SuperAwesomeTiago]

I'm pretty sure if it wasen't for this music nobody would give a shit about this zone and the number of requests for this being in Sonic Generations would reduce drasticly.

I'm the only person who likes this zone as it is,even if it had,say,the PC version's music I would still enjoy it.

[Robotnikpwnage]

I sat and listened, and a little piece of me died inside when I realized this game came out 20+ years ago. Long live Sega.

[Mrster]

@Robotnikpwnage

No man. Not yet.

[KiWatchvids]

I've never heard of this zone because of the FUCKING BARREL IN CARNIVAL NIGHT ZONE!

[idiotinabarrel]

@KiWatchvids the is the best comment of all time

[drifter2597]

@KiWatchvids Practice, practice, practice.

[Anthony74561]

@KiWatchvids Oh yes, because it's UNBELIEVABLY HARD to hold up and down, isn't it?

[ElAullidoDeLaNada]

@KiWatchvids LOL. I needed months to realize that i had to go under this barrel.

[Toky0kyn]

@KiWatchvids i haven't heard this yet because of the "time's up" screen on that level...

[MEROJOBR]

@KiWatchvids

XD you fail.

i beat this game in 1994. on the day i got it.

[kashifv]

@KiWatchvids OH SHIT I REMEMBER THAT BARREL

[balls055]

@KiWatchvids HAHAHHAHAHah it took me 2 months to figure out ...I Feel ya

[juliannarox]

@KiWatchvids Jump onto it and then press up and down. It took me years to figure that out. Not kidding.

[MelMeikoMeiLing]

@KiWatchvids You know, many years ago, I called the Sega Hotline for how to get past that barrel and I was TOLD TO JUMP. Now, even more years later, a friend told me all I had to do was press up and down...AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT FRIGGIN WORKED. Frickin' Sega Hotline lying to me!

[Tripp426]

@KiWatchvids Holy shit that part pissed me off. I never figured out how to get past it until I watched someone else play.

[TheVixer9000]

@KiWatchvids I know that feel bro.

[99Ale1011]

@KiWatchvids u did no dat all u hav 2 do waz hold up and down

[BeggProductions]

@KiWatchvids I've 100%-ed this game but those barrels were fucking annoying.

[monkeymonman100]

@KiWatchvids i am so sad for you.... this is the best song ever... MOSTLY cuz it ment you beat the barrel

[wolfemancola]

@KiWatchvids i had the same problem but i later discovered that all you need to do is push up and down to get out

[BriGuy90Two]

@KiWatchvids I would guess that if you know enough about Sonic to know that the barrel is a common complaint, and you have easy access to the internet, you know very well how to get past the barrel, and have very likely heard of Ice Cap Zone.

[ninjaws]

@BriGuy90Two Back in the nineties we didn't have Gamefaqs or forums where we could ask for help. I had never heard about this zone either back then because no one of my friends had ever made it past that barrel. If i had actually owned the game i would have figured it out eventually but...

[QCDeViLMaN666QC]

@KiWatchvids nubz cake

[J3ezup]

@KiWatchvids Get on the barrel and press and hold down.

[skinchen]

@KiWatchvids LOL

[phantumgrey]

@KiWatchvids I REMEMBER THAT!!! It took me 2 days to figure out i wasn't going the wrong way you just had to use the D-pad and push up and down lol I hated that damn thing.

[luigi14444]

@KiWatchvids have you tried a BARREL ROLL,, LOLOLOL

[18amarela]

black eyed peas - just can't get enought

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

@IWillKillYourCereal

MJ produced the music of Sonic 3 (he was kind of tight with Sega, having also produced a console port of Moonwalker with them).

[Jami393]

@rabidrabbitshuggers He also produced the arcade version of Moonwalker with Sega.

[ImpossibleQuiz1]

Nice music, probably my favorite, but to bad barely anyone heard it because of the stupid barrel in Carnival Night Zone!

[fountainherz]

Sounds like "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm, (not to be confused with that fucking ripoff Michael Jackson).

[Lucrei91]

@fountainherz You're kidding, right?

[HarryFranz]

@fountainherz MJ contributed in the composition of Sonic 3's OST.

[Jami393]

@fountainherz You've got to be joking. Michael Jackson wrote, composed and sung Smooth Criminal, and Alien Ant Farm where MJ fans.

[MrInuhanyou123]

@fountainherz lol are you joking? Michael was the one who created and sung that song decades before Alien Ant Farm sung it

[Ashamaxa]

@fountainherz You are an idiot. Grown up kid. Michael Jackson was the most important pop star of the last century and you say "Ripoff Alien Ant Farm" Who the fuck are those? they have another good song besides the one who is NOT FROM THEM?

[manfandan]

@fountainher LAWL, THIS GUY. THIS GUY CRACKS ME UP.

No but srsly you fail.

[TasteThePainbow88]

@fountainherz LOL at everyone biting your trollbait.

[cejuarez7]

Remember back then the 2 top games were sonic and mario and now is freaking call of duty and halo and now sonic games are called baby games. My friends always tell why i play sonic more than call of duty and i say that i grew up with sonic.

[HarryFranz]

@cejuarez7 or maybe because you grew up a brain?!

[macrr1]

@cejuarez7 im only 11 and i LOVE sonic. i may have not grown up with sonic, but he's the first video-game character i saw. my cousin is also a sonic fan and gave me my first sonic game: Sonic Heroes.he got Shadow the Hedgehog and didn't play sonic heroes lately.(P.S. I got mad when I found out he had shadow the hedgehog!)

[AntoG1986]

Best music in any of the Sonic Genesis games imo.

Thumbs up if you agree.

[MegaMario1500]

Top comments are the same >:c

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

I remember searching for this music the day before MJ died. I'm not a hipster or anything, but it's kind of funny.

[IwillKillYourCereal]

@rabidrabbitshuggers What does Michael Jackson have to do with Sonic?

[KokiriKitty]

@IwillKillYourCereal They say all the songs on Sonic 3 were based off of MJ's songs. Such as Thriller and I think Marble Garden? I could be wrong.

[ImpossibleQuiz1]

@KokiriKitty The songs WERE made by Michael Jackson.

[Tx266]

@ImpossibleQuiz1 Are you kidding me? if they were the songs wouldn't sound like this....

[kyubihanyou]

@Tx266

Not all the songs are MJ's, though: just the 10 replaced in S&K Collection due to copyright.

Those "whoos" and glass breaking samples came straight from the source. Heck, "Jam" is quite literally in Carnival Night; those two big hits near the end of the track are actually low-quality voice samples of that very word.

Also, if you read the Brad Buxer interview from the Dec '09 edition of Black & White, you'll know that the S3 credits theme was indeed a demo for Stranger in Moscow.

[huskiesghost]

Michael Jackson R.I.P. :(

[shadow524951]

This music is superb. I hate so much how it was redone in Sonic and Knuckles collection.

[AntoG1986]

@shadow524951. I have this for Sonic Classic Collection on NDS, and it's exactly the same as here. What's the redone version?

[Krugis]

@AntoG1986 The PC version had a pretty obnoxious mix..



[SuperFunnyman001]

@Krugis there was a pc version? lul

[Jami393]

@SuperFunnyman001 Yes there was but the music wasn't as good as this.

[CannyTails]

Whoever managed to hear this music in their childhood either found out about the debug or is the lord of games.

[boyracer1988]

@CannyTails Hey I completed this with out cheats lol Didn't really have internet back in the day to get cheats from lol

[Tolissssssssss]

I WANT 1 ICE-KREAM!

[mcjaggerislegit]

As much as I love this level, I think sky sanctuary was a overall better choice. In my opinion snowboarding would of been too much like skateboarding in city escape :P

[CenaSux890]

@EdmacZ Instead we got sky sanctuary and mushroom hill...

[boyracer1988]

I find this music both nostalgia yet depressing in a way...love it!

[johnnymassacre]

@boyracer1988 Because your youth is WASTED!

[boyracer1988]

@johnnymassacre How do you work that one out?

[johnnymassacre]

@boyracer1988 Just messing with you

[TheSonicMaster23]

Seriously, Sega. It was such a no-brainer to put this level in Sonic Generations. Why the fuck wasn't it? *taps foot*

[Booto20afercan2ninja]

Should of been in sonic Generations. Like this better then sky sanctuary.

[donaldsonbran1]

Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal 

[SMATF5]

I heard part of Madonna's "Into The Groove" on the radio earlier, and I immediately thought of Ice Cap Zone.

[BKRagequitz]

What I really Don't understand is how sega has at least one snow- themed level in at least half of all sonic games and not bring any back for Generations. there are sonic and knuckles levels in both versions of the game (xbox/3ds) and NONE in either game from sonic 3 (the clearly more popular game) This was a perfect level to implement in the game and it was Ignored.

[omegadragon1000]

Sonic fans are fools. having a war to see which sonic songs are better. a true sonic fan would agree that sonic 1, 2, 3-knuckles, and CD had the best music, all the new ones have these fags singing in them,

[CannyTails]

@omegadragon1000 Sonic Colors and Unleashed's stages.

[omegadragon1000]

@CannyTails Unleashed had a pretty good story but garbage songs, and colors was just plain shit.

[CannyTails]

@omegadragon1000 Right...

What about Generations, then?

[omegadragon1000]

@CannyTails Nice remakes, but original's will always be better

[SlamTheLabel]

@omegadragon1000 i loved unleashes music. It was the rpg aspect that really ruined it for me.

[198021ful]

this beat goes hard-ass!!! its my ringtone!!!!

[coolhwhip49]

@iDragon7x That's probably because he helped out with the music for this game. This was probably one of the songs he worked on.

[anotherrandomnobody]

It's cool how this sounds WAY better than anything there is on any music top list

[RQBtv]

Thumbs if MMMMM Cap Zone got you here

[perfectophoto]

34 people have icy cold hearts and dontlove sonic likemeeeeee yeeeaahahhhh

[josornio300]

If you listen closely you can make out smooth criminal

[Netaro1000]

Aaaaaahhhhhh..... This take me back.....

[dragons1ay3r1]

michael jackson

[mozzeche]

the stage was located in a very lonely sad land...I felt so lonely while playing Ice Cap Zone!

But the tune is sweet

[andrewvanrhoberts]

Im going on a video game music quest and click on songs from video games Ive never heard of before. I started on the Rainbow Road song from Mario kart now I made it too here.

[MrNotchBrine]

Ahh... So much nostalgia.

[piplupfan77]

Playing this with the youtube Snowflake feature is SOOO fitting.

[sonicmegastar20]

@piplupfan77 sooo true

[supermario863]

@piplupfan77 but its not available anymore

[ZomIIXC]

@piplupfan77 how does one do that?

[kakolykia]

i think that serious sam 2 music in Sirius was a plagiat of this song

[BlessedratdragonAlt]

I just had to watch this video with the snowflake effect youtube added in :)

[AlmightyLordTimothy]

This music with the Youtube snow effect is amazing

[silentzorah]

I can't see why this song is so popular.

[linkpwnsevery1]

@silentzorah you ever play this stage? if not, then u cant see why lol but it had one of the greatest opening by you snowboarding down a hill and it was awesome, kind of like sonic adventure 1.

[n1g3ld34c0n]

@LOLIamEpic What difference does it make?

[LOLIamEpic]

@n1g3ld34c0n Dont get pissed you were bound for someone to say that.

[n1g3ld34c0n]

@LOLIamEpic I'm not getting pissed. I'm just asking if it makes any difference, which I don't believe it does.

[aubzmariobros]

@garyclar91 RUINED FOREVER

[Garyclar91]

sounds like the girl chipmunks are humming this song.

[zetallest]

very cold like!!!

[greenbergjn]

Best Sonic music, period.

[RyanStansberry]

32 people don't like this because they could never get to this zone, due to the barrels in Carnival Night Zone.

[SuperDubietyStrike]

@RyanStansberry Those freaking barrels, and then once I figured out how to get past them the level was so long that getting to Robotnik before time ran out sucked. I'm happy I managed to make it to the only good ice level in any video game ever though.
