Best Soundtrack Contest - Mk III

[JezMM]

Got a bit late with updating, never mind. With Me wins! Now... well - that's it! We're done! All of the most notable titles have been catered for. Time for a few bonus rounds before moving on to the finale.

This first bonus round... well, I'm not really sure how successful it will be since I don't think that many people on this board are fans of Sonic X... but we'll see. There's a lot of great music in the show and I wish it had ALL been released on CD, but alas it wasn't, so we're stuck with what we know of (I wish wish wish I could own the songs that play when Sonic sits on the lampost in episode 1, when Maria talks to Shadow before launching the capsule in his memory and he can't hear her, and when Sonic gets sent down in the capsule by Eggman).

Of important note is that these bonus rounds are self-contained and just for fun - the winners won't appear in the finale. The current planned bonus rounds are Sonic X, Jingles, Collections (music from Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems Collection) and remixes. If you have any suggestions or requests for bonus rounds feel free to ask.

My votes:

Vocal Songs: MI-RA-I, The Shining Road

Insert Songs: Natsu No Hi

Original Soundtrack: Sonic's Fight, All Right!!, S-Team #1, Helen's Dinner, The Master Emerald, S-Team #2

Dub Themes: Save This World, Gotta Go Fast (Spanish Version)

One question: where's the English theme song for Sonic X? Because that's pretty much the only song I like from the show.

[JezMM]

I was thinking of including it, but two pieces of music from the english version along with all the Japanese music seemed odd to me. I was gonna put it in a seperate category but then it would basically be a single category of "Gotta Go Fast", the US theme versus "Sonic X", the UK theme. Didn't seem worth it to me. D= Guess there's no harm in doing so though.

[Sean]

For the sake of completion, you should probably also include the Italian theme and the

in the misc. section.

[Phos]

[JezMM]

Lol, why not? Consider it done. Added the other dub themes. Made up a name for the Italian version based on the lyrics.

Edited May 11, 2009 by JezMM

[Blue Kirby]

Too difficult to vote only two on the vocal part ;___; But i´ll vote T.O.P and Sonic Drive.

And about Dub themes: Sonic Drive french version.

[ovarloard]

I have two votes: Gotta Go Fast and Sonic Drive, both English.

[JezMM]

About 7 hours left. Alas this round wasn't that popular but oh well. T'was nice.

[JezMM]

Alas we got so many ties on that one the result hardly seems even vaguely accurate enough to be worth it. Let's just move on methinks. It was a nice thought, but guess no-one cares about Sonic X really it seems.

Bonus Round 2 - Jingles: Invincibility (Primary Vote)

Please vote for the appropriate number of tracks per section.

Retro Games - Up to 5 votes allowed

Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) - Invincibility

Shadow the Hedgehog

Sonic Riders

Sonic Advance

Sonic Advance 2/Sonic Advance 3

Sonic Rush*

Sonic Rush Adventure*

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity**

*The Rush invincibility themes are relative to the level you're on. Thusly, by voting for these, you're voting for more of a "concept" of music than any actual tune, be it the percussion focus for Rush or the repetitive stage theme extract for Rush Adventure.

**I can't remember if ZG has invincible boxes, but I put it in just in case - if it doesn't then... presumebly no-one will vote since there's nowt to vote for.

My votes:

Retro: Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit), Sonic CD (EU/JP Version), Sonic CD (US Version), Knuckles' Chaotix.

Modern: Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic Advance 2/3, Sonic Rush, Sonic The Hedgehog.

Retro: Sonic 1 16-bit, Sonic 2 16-bit Invincibilty + Super Sonic, Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles

Modern: Sonic Advance, Sonic Heroes, SA2, Sonic Rush, Sonic Adventure

[ovarloard]

Just so you know, ZG has no invincibility items.

Retro: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) (both invincibility and Super Sonic), and Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Modern: Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow The Hedgehog, and Sonic Advance 2/3

[Reading]

I'm not really an enthusiast on invincibility themes, so I'll just vote for the two that stand out to me (and plus, if I voted for the full 10, that would just encompass every major Sonic game. )

Retro Games

Sonic CD (JP/EU Version) - This one sounds really funky and techno-like. It's a large difference from most of the other retro invincibility tunes.

Modern Games

Sonic The Hedgehog - Can you guess? (See my posts in previous pages)

[canderson]

Retro: Sonic 2(16 bit) Invincibility and Super Sonic, Sonic 3, and Sonic and Knuckles.

Modern: Sonic Adventure, Sonic Aventure 2, Sonic Heroes, and Sonic Riders.

[JezMM]

(and plus, if I voted for the full 10, that would just encompass every major Sonic game. )

Yeah, while I was fairly generous with the amount you could vote for, they're all such simple tunes I figured most would only have one or two they really found that amazing. X3

[Phos]

Retro:

Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) - Invincibility

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) - Super Sonic
