This is really cool, but I'm kind of confused why it exists. Are they working on a remix album? Something else?

He does remixes all the time. He did remixes before he was even working on Sonic Mania.

As to why it's on the official youtube, who knows. It could just be a random thing for the fans.

I think it's a well done remix. Original will always remain supreme imo

And yeah Super Sonic Racing is the better song too

Original is way better.

This one's boring as shit aside from the alright guitar solo.

I use the original as my wake up alarm. (Bought the soundtrack on Amazon a while ago)

I think I prefer the original version but this is nice. More guitar might have pushed it over the top.

I live, live, live for that 90s house-pop vibe in general, and the Sonic R soundtrack really nailed it. I love that Sonic music was so often in conversation with real-world pop music (up through Sonic Heroes, really).

This, I love their other remixes a lot though but I don't like a ton how different this one is from the house style of the original. A lot less energy

I remember the meme/creepypasta that this song was cursed.

Tinfoil hat time:
Two year anniversary of sonic forces and puts out a song with the line "Just think about the good times and they will come back again "

It's a good remix, but lacks the style of energy that the original has. TJ Davis's voice was such an excellent encapsulation of the era when Sonic R came out too.

Sonic Channel has been doing other remixes I just noticed. This is the best one for me so far:

So good. You could remix this song any you want, it would still sound so so good.

Feels.

Yo, Evening Star. How about making a Sonic R2 using the Mania special zone as a template?

Oh trust me, I remember his MIDI days. As for the second thing...

It's just for fun. They put out a Station Square remix last month, with two more on the way.




This stuff costs money. They brought in Jun Senoue, had somebody do the camera work, make-up, editing, etc. It's not impossible to do this on a shoestring budget (which it probably was to an extent), but I would personally suspect it's leading up to something specific. (Probably a new music album.)

Back in the day the game disc spent a lot of time in my stereo so I could listen to ost.
Not a fan of it now but I liked it back then.

Yeah, I much prefer the original. Slowing it down does nothing for me.

One of the best soundtracks of all time, and not just in games. I love Tee Lopes' work to death and this is a solid remix, but it loses something without TJ Davis and her thoroughly authentic '90s house-pop vocals. Definitely prefer the original, but this is still good in its own right.

Really hated that, felt like it mauled the perfection of the original. It just lacked soul and power to me.

Sonic R's soundtrack truly was a masterpiece and nails the spirit of 90s era Sega. I love it still to this day.
