So that's what, new arrangements of the prototype tracks that were leaked that were also the ones from the Sonic & Knuckles Collection? Or completely new songs for those zones?
I'm a shameless mark for the prototype/S&KC versions of Launch Base, so really hoping it's the former.

Sonic stream from today confirmed the MJ/Brad Buxter (Ice Cap, Launch Base, Carnival Night) tracks won't be in the game, with Jun Senoue composing the replacements based off the Prototype versions. Disappointing (especially in losing Ice Cap's music) but the latter puts out some strong work and the PC version will get a mod to fix it so it could be worse. I mean, the prototype had the much better Carnival Night track, by far, but I will definitely miss Launch Base, for sure. However, I will absolutely be missing the miniboss theme. |

I also liked the pre-MJ Carnival Night Zone track more. But Ice Cap, man....Ice Cap!

So did anyone have "Lead developer on Sonic the Hedgehog basically confirms the Michael Jackson rumor for Sonic 3 out of complete nowhere" on their 2022 Video Game Bingo Card?
Because you might have Bingo.

So was the Island Camera worth it?

And you thought those fans putting Sonic in MJ’s white Smooth Criminal suit were nuts.

Playing as Tails in Sonic 1 is so strange. I keep accidentally flying and bumping into enemies, but there's a weird part of Marble Zone Act 3 I've never seen before because I flew up there to the upper left before the boss battle. It has those chained weights dangling over the sky. Pretty cool! Reminds me of that off the beaten path part of Chemical Plant Zone.

I have to say, having never played the mobile port of Sonic 2 before, the smooth movement of the special stages threw me off a bit.
Also, happy Tails actually gets a sprite based intro in S3&K now when playing him solo.

Sonic Origins Plus coming this June as a physical title, with Knuckles playable in Sonic CD, 12 Game Gear Sonic titles, oh and Classic Amy playable in all four games.
Disappointed they didn't go with the Master System versions of the GG titles and Ray & Mighty would have been a cool addition, but the overall package is enough for me to finally pick it up.

That's a pretty solid upgrade, I think. Sonic Origins was a fine collection, just kinda barebones with extras and this is more than enough to keep folks busy.
Wish they could get the proper music for Sonic 3 though, I hate the music they used instead.

My only gripe with the new music is the Origins version are hot garbage compared to the original versions of the prototype tracks that just sound so much cleaner. |

Yep, I know they were originally prototype music for those levels. I think there was a PC port of the Sonic games that had those too. Call it nostalgia, but not a fan of them.

Yeah, I do wonder if they'll clean stuff like that up for this Plus release. I know the S3&K port was rushed; hopefully they were able to fix it. |

I might get it for the Game Gear titles.
Still wish they threw in Spinball and 3D Blast for completionists' sake.

I get that the Game Gear had far more market penetration in the US than the Master System, but if you're putting these games in a compilation intended to be played on modern TVs and displays many times the resolution of the Game Gear's screen surely it just makes more sense to include – where available – the versions optimised for bigger displays? |

The Amy inclusion's really fun. I do love when these sorts of collections put in something to give you just that little bit more of replayability, sort of like how the GBA Final Fantasy 6 threw in some extra espers and bosses. Nothing hugely game-changing, but enough to change the flavor versus if someone was just going to go play the original.
