    Six years ago, on 15 August, Sonic Mania launched and the world was (for a fleeting moment) a much happier place. To celebrate the occasion the game's composer, Tee Lopes, has once again shared a previously-unheard work that was originally intended for the credits sequence, but later scrapped.

    "Happy 6th anniversary to Sonic Mania, the game that changed the game," wrote Lopes on social media. "To celebrate, I give you the scrapped credits theme."

    As you can hear from the video below, it's a much jazzier outro track than the one that was eventually used in the final version of the game. No reason was given for why this was scrapped, but I think we can all agree that we're all better off for hearing this track. We especially like the sax!

    This recent share follows Lopes' posting of another unreleased track for Sonic Mania last week - that of an early version of the 'Stage Clear' jingle. It's great that we're hearing of all this now. What do you think of the track? Let us know!

    Yeah, it definitely sounds better than what we got in the end. Still sad there was no short jingles of each zone like in the credits of each of the classic trilogy games, if you know what I mean.

    Agreed - this is actually much more fitting for the credits IMO than what was used in the end. 

    I suppose they wanted something a bit more uplifting compared to this very Sonic CD/NiGHTS retrostalgic chill. 

    But yeah, sad times it still wasn’t the typical remixed melody run through like the classic games used to do.
