Bring back Michael Jackson! ...oh wait... Bring back the guy who wrote songs for Dreams Come True!

They already have to pay that dude royalties every time they use classic Green Hill Zone music, to the point I would believe that the constant use of Seaside Hill imagery and music over the past decade was deliberate in an attempt to make it the standard visual people think of when they think of "First Sonic Level" instead of using Green Hill Zone assets.

Because otherwise you'd expect the classic music to go with the classic level.

Why can't they just use Emerald Hill instead?

I think the Dreams Come True guy also did the music for that and the rest (?) of Sonic 2 as well.

And Sonic 3's soundtrack is just a minefield nobody at SEGA wants to attempt to cross outside of like the first stage and some other tracks.

Like any HD remake in the same vein as CD or 2 would have to use like, the PC Sonic 3 soundtrack or an all new one instead.

What didn't you like about Sonic's characterization? Genuinely interested, as STC sonic is like my favorite incarnation of the character, although did read them as a kid so nostalgia may pay a factor there. It's refreshing to me that they didn't shy away from him being a bit of a prick, he really felt like a character with an attitude rather than a character with 'attitude'.

He's just thoroughly unlikable. Maybe he becomes more nuanced in the later stories, but I can't get through those early ones where he's being an rear end in a top hat for the sake of being an rear end in a top hat to his friends.

I would, although if I was going to go with my favourite vocal tracks I'd either have to get the hang of the scat bit at the end of E.G.G.M.A.N. or find someone to duet with on Lazy Days.

Never really bothered me, but I guess I came to STC off reading poo poo like the Beano. British kids comics from that era did skew heavily towards unlikable characters especially for comedy.

I love STC but I really wouldn't recommend reading all of it, if you ever give it another shot look up stuff specifically written but not drawn by Nigel Kitching, written by Lew Stringer, or (especially) drawn by Richard Elson.

God I hope the Forces theme tune is also the final boss music. I love uplifting boss themes and the instrumental version sounds like it'll be just that.

I really just don't let that kind of character. But I just don't care at all for that approach to the character. I don't think it'd change for me even with the later stuff.

There's a difference between a dude with a 'tude and "Jesus Christ, what crawled up your rear end?" and British rear end in a top hat Sonic is more the latter.

Anyway, speaking of questionable Pumpkin Hill renditions

I liked that stage because it had awesome music and neat gimmicks. The badnik placement is Dark Souls before Dark Souls, though.

I had to listen to it fifty times on repeat to be sure, but the Forces theme tune is shaping up to be a solid contender for my favourite Sonic theme music yet.

Seriously, why do some fans seem to think that just calling a game Sonic Adventure 3 would automatically make it good (hell, '06 is already basically SA3 in all but name and the lack of a Chao Garden and look how that turned out)?
