    While the attention to Sonic Generations is all focused on modern Sonic stages, rightfully, I have to say that I think the best ost is from a classic Rooftop Run, not only its very different from the original ost feeling less like a copy than others, but it's also one of the most unique and catchy ost ever, imo.
  • @tailsoda9249
    Pretty much agreed with everything, I mean when it comes to music in sonic games, it never misses for the most part. Especially love how you put Space Trip Steps from SA2 instead of Escape from the City as that's definitely one of my favourite tracks from the game and is such a chill and relaxing track to listen to when I'm studying.
  • @Yaboydelz
    This was fun to watch, its refreshing to see sonic videos that isnt ripping the blue blur to shreds and instead just fun topics to share. I agree with your rooftop run day take entirely. Its a fantastic song but it does overshadow the many masterful bangers the game has. And you also picked my favourite day track from my favourite sonic game so you have my certified approval. Good video 👌🏾

    24:50 There are a lot of fantastic soundtracks in Sonic Lost World, but for whatever reason I really like the one from that desert level with those big ass worms like tremors. I really like that music there a lot. It just gets really intense and I just love how the horns sound
  • Sonic music has just been a part of our lives for so long. It is ICONIC, and every game (good or bad) always nails its OST.
  • @LycanFerret
    I have always loved video game music and I very much remember just idling in Sonic Unleashed to bask in the music. Shamar hub night, Apotos day, Spagonia night, and Mazuri hub night are probably my favorites.
  • I completely agree about Space Trip Steps. It used to be that people didn't like Knuckles' songs from SA2, but a number of years back when I replayed the game for the 3rd or 4th time I realized Knuckles' songs are all kinda banger and Meteor Herd had the best song by far. Edit: As far as Unleashed, I know it's not a "stage", but my favorite song is Holoska Night.

    Gotta admit I prefer Generations remix of Crisis City over Escape from the City but can’t argue w the choice it’s an absolute banger
  • @RedRag684
    This guy Has a legendary list but once he said mechanical resonance for SA1, i knew he was going to give this list justice. Nice video!
  • @Wolfy-Kun
    I personally would've probably picked Kingdom Valley over Crisis City, but i can definitely see why Crisis City would be the best, even i have it as my favourite sometimes
  • @razor8304
    I feel like Sonic Gen’s soundtrack is being vastly underrated here, like City Escape is a very respectable choice and given the day I’d even agree with you, but saying it’s not close is undermining every other amazing song in the ost. Great vid though, and I do appreciate you going with the non obvious song for most of the games
  • I think generations is a VERY HARD one, I could go with the chosen one of the video or crisis city act 2, but my hot take is that rooftop run act 2 is the most brilliant of them all. But yeah, I think theres a lot to choose from. The one from SA2 really got me, I didnt expect. I think its only an average song of a great OST game, I wouldnt even choose it for the most iconic for Knuckles, I think Pumpkin Hill is better. City Escape is now a big classic, but I really enjoy Eternal Engine for Tails, its a very wild pick, I know, but there are so great songs this game. Oh yeah, Studiopolis in mania absolutely nailed it. That song hits different.
  • @kevin11rules
    Earned a sub I was just agreeing with most of your takes so many underrated bangers. Glad to see cyberspace rep too
  • @corruptedteka
    Nice ! It'd be nice to hear your favorite boss track from each game next !
  • @Sly88Frye
    20:44 Not a single night-time stage theme you would consider? I actually think the night time stage theme for adabat jungle is quite good. Yes then night time stages don't have its exciting of music as the daytime stages but they should be at least considered because some of them are actually really good. Spagonia for example I think has a really good sounding night time stage thing
  • @TheGerkuman
    The Mega Drive may have technically had a weaker chip the SNES but honestly on a head-to-head matchup they weren't vastly behind. It was just more difficult to program than many musicians needed (especially in the west, where most of the musicians hired weren't also programmers), so they ended up using GEMS and it really shows. Some artists now are doing amazing things with Deflmask, since the tracker program does a lot of the heavy lifting for you whilst not having bad presets.
