Yeah, this is pretty much my favorite song from the Rush series.
That, and Wrapped in Black. Actually, the Rush series has bunches of good music, gotta love that JSR style.

Nothing in Rush comes close to its stage themes, really. Naganuma is excellent as always in that (not as good as JSR, 'course, but still).
Fuck yeah

I can't hate the Rush music. It's too good. And don't make me choose a boss theme. It's too hard. :/
(Split between Sonic 2 & Sonic 3+K)
Sonic Triple Trouble's special stage music was fun.

I will accept this as the best answer.

Where is your avatar from? It's so cute.

I've always had a soft spot for the Bonus Stage music in the GG/MS version of Sonic 1.

Damn right! Sonic 1 MS version has a very solid soundtrack, in fact I like it much more than the actual Sonic 1 music.

Oh gosh, he's sniffing the microphone. So cuuuuuute.
That guy is nuts!
My boyfriend hates the Bridge Zone music with a passion. But he's indifferent to the Janet Jackson song "Together Again" (since it samples Bridge Zone).
I don't know what to do with him either.

Hates the Bridge Zone music? that's just inconceivable.
Jungle Zone was also pretty good

Dunno why, I just don't like Sonic Rush's stage themes, I especially hate this one:

When it comes to boss themes, the Rush/Rush Adventure themes are not bad, but when it comes to recent Sonic games I like these the most:

This is the pinnacle of Sonic The Hedgehog Boss Music, I think it's also the best Sonic Music so far...
Don't really like or dislike those, but I think tracks like that are not a good fit for Sonic games (like most of the Rush tracks).
the series music style is all over the place, i don't see why they are not a good fit.

By the way, Speed Demos Archive has been doing live Sonic speedruns for the last hour. They're nearing the end of Sonic 2 and are about to start up Sonic Adventure DX after it

I really love the Sonic Adventure DX spindash and jump combo, it allows for some creative shortcuts and it's also great fun, couldn't have got Metal Sonic without it.

Yeah, the Adventure games are speed-run gold.

Holy balls at Twinkle Park, that wasn't what I expected!
Plus I was wondering if it was possible to take a shortcut in the Twinkle circuit section and of course it is.

The day levels in Unleashed are worth a play, although the levels are sometimes hard to run through.
Expect some super frame dropping in Jungle Joyride and a stupid drift turn near the start of Skyscraper Scamper.
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Yeah, but you'll run into a point when you have to gather enough medals to open up new levels, most of which are found in the night levels (so as long as you thoroughly explore in the night levels, you'll find most of them; just treat it like Zelda or something). Some of the day levels can be hard, so don't boost a lot. Skyscraper Scamper day is probably the worst one.
Also, the art direction and the music are incredible. Love the presentation in this game, despite the framerate drops.

Were there severe drops in the 360 version? Jungle Joyride turned into a slideshow at certain points on PS3.
Oh neat, theyre doing an Aria of Sorrow run. Guess I'll stick around.

This was my favourite stage alongside rooftop run, I never felt there was too much tricky about it myself, lots of grinding if memory serves.
I just started a replay of Aria two days ago, i'm steering clear of the speedrun since i've forgotten a fair amount of the game so I can keep it slightly fresh.

Nope. To my memory, the PS3 version has an unlocked framerate so sometimes it actually runs at 60fps on the rare occasion
But the framerate dies in the same spot in both games. In its defense, the framerate problems only arise in the last couple of daytime levels, but when the framerate craps up, it does so in chunks of close to a minute.

Skyscraper Scamper was hard, but it does have one of my more favorite 3D Sonic moments (running up the sides of those skyscrapers, so cool!).
And one slowdown point specifically is when you enter the jungle and the camera turns to show robots chasing you. It always slows down right after that, mostly because of the copious amounts of foliage flying past at that moment.

The music for Skyscraper Scamper day is kind of underrated, but I myself underrated the whole soundtrack, I didn't realize how good it was until last year, probably thanks to Sonic Gaf in fact.
I certainly wouldn't have known about Jungle Joyride night because you know, the Werehog theme dominates night stages.

It was pretty stupid of them to even have that fight theme for night, since you're always getting into them and that music overrides the often cool night themes all the time.
Cool Edge Night
Although I ended up not finishing Eggman Land, it did have one of the better themes in the game:
Eggman Land "Day"

There's the one bs bit in Skyscraper Scamper, but most of why I don't like it is because I don't like how it looks.
...says the girl who lives across the street from a farm, and whose undergraduate university was in the middle of a nature park. :lol
Yeah, the PS3 version's framerate is ok, but when you get close to water or are the Werehog and you're around a lot of foliage or a lot of water, it tends to drop. It's really too bad, since the best bits of the art direction in the game are around the spots where there is a ton of water or foliage!
I love that theme. I have it on a CD for my car.

Oh, now I feel old. It's been 15 years since I've seen that video. My mom invited me to see Men in Black 3 with her and my little brother tomorrow, so now I might just take her up on that offer. >.>

MiB3 is supposedly the best one. What the fuck?
I was wondering why the language on stream was so tame, the small child showing up makes that make sense. :lol

I liked the majority of Smith's rapping, and this song in particular, I didn't hear until the 00s, but I liked it all the same. The 90s were more than a decade ago ;_;

That will forever be my jam. Will even referenced Summertime in one of his songs on the Lost & Found album.
Ever since Summertime/they ain't like none of mine

For Unleashed, I *think* the first trailer I ended up seeing for it was the High Europe trailer. My first impression was "WAY PAST COOL" because of the graphics and so forth.
It's one reason why I'm hoping they put the Hedgehog Engine to work next gen.

Gravijah, the best MJ song is... um...I'll get back to you on that one.
Actually, Sega1991's reviews for them are pretty good and sum up the experience.

It's not very good, imo.
The DLC levels basically reuse assets from the original levels and just rearrange them for difficulty. I don't care for them much, as the quality of the levels and designs vary from level to level in each pack... so sometimes you're getting some okay levels, and then you're getting levels that aren't very good.
