Short documentary I made which describes possible links between Michael Jackson's music and Sonic 3.

This Documentary isn't just random comparisons, listen to the start. Roger Hector, who ran SEGA's Technical Institute said Micahel was planned to work on it. We *have* asked SEGA because HE WORKED FOR SEGA! Please take note of this before accusing the documentary of making un-validated claims.

Since this documentary was made, there have been numerous discoveries showing that most of the people featured in the credits list worked with Michael Jackson at some stage.

Also I have had numerous requests for the Who Is It vs Ice Cap mix. The clip is just 21seconds however you can download it here:

@kyubihanyou According to Cirocco's new comment, the entire team came out with music ideas.

"5 guys (me, Brad, Bobby, Darry, Geoff) spent what seemed like countless hours creating compositions with MJ... and then trying our best to technically balance what SEGA team wanted to create music for the sonic game. I was hired by Brad to come in to create different music cues and arrange on a lot of other ideas too. It was a long time ago... and was kinda challenging to say the least."

@Adam060756 I heard that Jun only composed the bonus stage musics and the jingles (act clear, 1-up, etc)

Apparently he's not allowed to confirm who composed what in Sonic 3 & Knuckles so basically here are the pieces that have been confirmed:

S&K Theme (and hence invincibility/ending): Howard Drossin

Knuckles' S&K Theme: Howard Drossin

Bonus Stages: Jun Senoue

Most Jingles: Jun Senoue

All act 2 arrangements: Masaru Setsumaru

Sonic 3 Credits: Michael Jackson/Brad Buxer.

@UTZUproductions

Michael Jackson was awesome for 40 years

[UTZUproductions]

Michael Jackson was Great-ish for a while, Sonic 3 & knuckles "UNCENSORED" is also great.

Inside information is great. Everything else about what people THINK happened is the words of Butthurt faggots

[RowdyRodimus]

You know the most awesome thing about this vid? That Qjimbo was able to admit where he was wrong in parts, that's a rare occurrence on the net and should be applauded.

@Jami393 oh my bad, well i mean the music was worked on in 1992, and the album HISTory came out in 1995..the single in 1996, either way. its very clear MJ worked on some tracks for SONIC 3

Illuminati fucked Michael over enough said

[Jami393]

@thekingofcinema1 Sonic 3 came out in 1994 and Stranger in Moscow actually came out in 1996 on his HIStory album.

this is silly - song structure? i dont even like mj

[bun223]

I think I heard that tune he used for "stranger in moscow" (the first basic melody) in some other stuff before he even used it in that song OR the game. That same key too. Instruments. Everything.

[bun223]

we all said back in the day that the music sounded like hip-hop and r & b (I couldn't originally figure out why the end theme of Sonic 3 sounded so familiar.... ) but to find out that everybody's credits were just plain taken out kinda makes me angry... I don't know... MJ probably wouldn't have wanted his name in the credits whether he contributed in the final version or not, 'cause he did that with a lot of projects.
