The Sonic Soundtracks Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Here are the five Sonic soundtracks that prove how essential the jams have been to the character’s lasting appeal.
Why Mania 2 hasn’t manifested yet is beyond me, but with the world’s favorite Hedgehog spin-dashing back into our collective consciousness, we’re looking at one area where neither SEGA nor the fastest thing alive has ever let us down: The music. With at least a year until the yet-untitled game’s proper release, fans once again feel that twinge of hope, as maybe five years of downtime will be enough to finally get it right. Four years have passed since 2017 brought two significant entries in the blue blur canon: Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces, the former as surprisingly good as the latter was predictably mediocre. With a brand new Sonic game finally having been teased for 2022, the Sonic Cycle begins anew, locking us all to its karmic wheel.
