I always wondered how the Pleasure Castle/Knuckles Special Stage theme would have sounded if Senoue programmed it into Sonic 3D Blast. For one thing, he would have conceivably increased the key by four semitones from the demo tape version, as he did with invincibility, the overarching theme, and the special stage music. Also, complex countermelodies were a signature trait of Senoue's Genesis-era music, so their eventual integration should be expected. All in all, the demo tape for this tune seemed more incomplete relative to the others, and Senoue was bound to add flourishes. Therefore, staying 100% faithful to it could be unideal.
All the FM voices utilized originated from the following Senoue-arranged themes:
- "Twinkly E.P." - Proto Carnival Night Act 1
- "Gritty E.P." - S&K Slot Machine
- Backing Strings - Sonic 3D Blast Credits theme
- Bass - Green Grove Act 1/2, Spring Stadium Act 2, and Panic Puppet Act 1
- Trumpet - Spring Stadium Act 1
- "Cheesy Brass" - Green Grove Act 1 and Panic Puppet Act 1
- Bell #1 - 3D Blast Invinicibility
- Bell #2 - 3D Blast Special Stage
- Octave Brass - Sonic 3D Blast Credits theme
- Dual-Tone Electric Guitar - the only custom voice; heard in the intro.
- Clean Guitar - Green Grove Act 2
