![]() ![]() Update: On November 16, 2019, the group at Hidden Palace released a prototype of Sonic 3 from around November 1993, and it turns out the replaced music that was in Sonic & Knuckles Collection was originally in the game all along. Maybe one day we’ll have proper credits for who composed what. ![]() The whole Sonic 3 music thing is an interesting story, since about a dozen people made music for both this and Sonic & Knuckles. Though this might be for logistical reasons, since replacing music in older games is a bit harder than, oh say, changing Spider-Man so he’s pink in later releases of The Revenge of Shinobi. ![]() All later releases of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, from Sonic Mega Collection, to Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, still use the original music. This particular change only applies to this release. Damn you Yukifumi Makino, making a 10 second ditty that haunted kids for generations! While it doesn’t bother me nearly as much these days, I can still get a bit of a twinge whenever I hear that damn drowning music when playing a Sonic game. I ended up getting Sonic 3 not long after it came out in 1994, but when I got to Hydrocity Zone and realizing it was involve a lot of water, I got so scared that I shut off the Genesis and asked to return the game. Well, that infamous platform jumping section through rising water in Sonic 2‘s Chemical Plant Act 2 traumatized me pretty bad when I was younger. While I did own other platforms, including a Genesis, I never really got to really experience the platform’s greatest stuff until many years later, thus I never got to play Sonic 3 & Knuckles until this PC release. I was strictly a Nintendo kid pretty much until the late ’90s, when I got my first PC. Though the Hedgehog was branching out to other ventures, including the educational Sonic’s Schoolhouse, this was probably one of the biggest gets for PC gamers who didn’t really dabble much in the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive library. Sonic & Knuckles Collection was released in late 1997 for Windows 1995, and was the second major Sonic game to reach PC, the first being two different ports of Sonic CD. Anyone who says Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the best Sonic game is a liar. ![]()
