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:

Can you upload a full version of that Who Is It/ Ice Cap mashup? I love how you made it flow nicely together.

It seemed amazing, also because you had to wait a bit before the video was watchable. So it felt like the ultimate reward when you finally could watch it.

That sensation doesn't really exist anymore these days.

Micheal Jackson sped up sounds like a chipmunk with a injection of pazazz.

The original knuckles theme sounded completely like MJ's stuff. (woo come on!) heh.

Adding more to this Knuckles' Theme or shall we say Blood on the Dance Floor uses a sample that was used in Knuckles' Theme, there is sample from IceCap that was taken from Speed Demon from MJ, and that pretty much covers everything to do with MJ and Sonic 3. Also there are other samples in S3 that were done by Michael.

[Jami393]

I'd day Carnival Night is bang on especially that it has a sample taken directly from Jam by MJ. IceCap which is said to be Who Is It, which it isn't because it's a version of part of Smooth Criminal, can be heard even better on Sonic Retro because they have a page on MJ and Sonic 3. Launch Base I believe to be an original composition for the game, the same with the Competition Menu, S3 Credits are Stranger in Moscow, and Knuckles' Theme and Miniboss are based on the New Jack Swing in MJ's songs

For my University course, our group were discussing video game music and how some early VGM were covers of already existing songs. I told the lecturer about this video and he used it for the other group.

So congratulations on having this as a mildly academic source, I guess.
