Tee Lopes, the musical maestro behind Sonic Mania's soundtrack (among many other amazing OSTs since) has shared an early version of one of the tracks intended for the 2017 Sonic platformer.
The track is an "early 'Stage Clear jingle", Lopes reveals on social media, and could at one point have been the tune players would have heard upon completing a stage in Sonic Mania. In the end, as we all know, the final game used a "Teelopesy" rendition of the Sonic 3 & Knuckles 'Stage Clear' jingle instead.
All that said, it's really nice to hear alternative tracks like this. Like most menu-based tracks in Sonic Mania's soundtrack, it features the familiar leitmotif that became synonymous with the game. A shame it didn't get used in the end - but we imagine that, with SEGA's plan for Mania being a halfway-trip down memory lane, it was decided that using a more familiar jingle made more sense.
What do you think of Tee's alternate track here? Let us know in the comments below!
