I have to disagree although this song sounds better overall the one they picked sounds more suitable to be a level song this version belongs in the credits.
The games aren't always the best, but we can always count on the composers giving us some of the most amazing soundtracks in gaming history. Even 06 had a banger of a soundtrack
Listening to this again... sounds nothing like it fits in as a forest theme. Actually doesnt even sound fitting for an act theme at all. Too chill. Would love this as a menu/options theme though. Great regardless.
This track was made specifically for the trailer, nothing more, nothing less. I personally don't consider correct to call this track as "xxxx zone beta" or something along those lines. But heck, this track is amazing and I love it.
I remember hearing this from the trailer for this game via Mega Collection. Didn't know this used to be the music for that zone prior to the final release. Like it! :)
i always Play Sonic mega collection around the holidays because of this and i got it round X-Mas time 2013, May not be holiday related but it's still fun
For a game that ended up being all about speed, this track tries to go for the vibe of the first game, being more chill and leisurely. Don't know which I prefer to be honest, the faster, more energetic final version of the track, or the more relaxed, laid back, stroll-y vibe of this one.
I'm disappointed I remember seeing a Trailer for Sonic Advance 2 with this Theme being in the Trailer but then I looked up all the Music for Sonic Advance 2 and found it wasn't in the Game! it was only for the Trailer and Thank you for Posting this Theme!
this is a really nice and catchy level theme but imagine playing the level with this song. it would kill me with how slow the song is compared to the insanely fast paced gameplay
