EDIT TO THE RULES: If you want to change something, dont edit your original post. Please Post a new post saying what you want to add, and if it's a change post what you previously had so I can remove it.
Also, please specify which version of Sonic CD and Sonic 3D you have.
Since the beggining Sonic has been famous for fast gameplay, engaging graphics and exciting music...
But, if you had to pick ONE track from each game (non of the vocal songs from the 3D games, well, by that I mean character theme tunes like Open Your Heart, Live and Learn, Throw It All Away, This Machine, Catch Me If You Can) I mean actual in game music...
I'm compiling a list at the moment of all the games I have played, but Im wondering if anyone else has one. Just remember, ONE track per game, the one that stands out the most, the best of the best.
I'll post back with my list shortly.
Oh, and just to confirm, no repeats for Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure Directors Cuts, they have the same music with a few extras.
However, do make the distrinction whether it's American or japanese or european version if the game has different music (Sonic 3D and CD are the only ones I can think of off hand)
Sonic 3: Launch Base Act 1
Sonic and Knuckles: Mushroom Hill Act 1
Sonic Adventure: Final Egg
Sonic Adventure 2: Radical Highway
Sonic Heroes: (Boss music count?) Egg Albatross/Rail Canyon
Off the top of my head...
Sonic the Hedgehog (MD) - Star Light Zone
Sonic the Hedgehog (MS/GG) - Bridge Zone
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (MD) - Aquatic Ruin Zone
Sonic the Hedeghog 2 (MS/GG) - Green Hills Zone (Oh yes!)
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Ice Cap Zone ACT 1(who can't like this?!)
Sonic & Knuckles - Lava Reef Zone ACT 1 (Very funky)
Sonic R - Turn Back Time (I know you said that theme tunes don't count, but the entire default soundtrack is with vocals, and I adore this song so it had to come on.)
There are plenty from other games but i can't remember the exact names so i won't bother
I hate Ice Cap zone's music.
Sonic 1- Star Light
Sonic 2- Metropolis OR Ending
Sonic 3- Launch Base
Sonic & Knuckles- Sandopolis
Sonic 3D Blast- Diamond Dust
Sonic Heroes- Ugh... Rail Canyon, I guess.
Shadow the Hedgehog- The sound of the Mute button.
Sonic Adventure- Speed Highway
Sonic Adventure 2- Final Hazard (I cheated :P)
One song, ey? Well, here goes.
Sonic The Hedgehog: The original Green Hill Zone, baby!
Sonic 2: The racing level of Emerald Hill Zone.
Sonic 3: As much as I LOVE the Ice Cap music, I like Eggman's last boss theme better.
Sonic and Knuckles: Death Egg Zone or Lava Reef
Sonic 3D Blast: Rusty Ruin Zone Act 2 (Saturn version)
Sonic R: Diamond in the Sky
Sonic CD (American Version):
Sonic Adventure: Definitly Twinkle Park (racing level, ya know, the one with the remix music from Sonic 3D Blast)
Sonic Adventure 2: Was it called Cosmic Wall? It's probably the only music I liked in that game.
Sonic Heroes: A tie between Casino Zone Act 1 and Mystic Mansion Act 2.
Sonic the Hedgehog: Spring Yard Zone
Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Chemical Plant or Metropolis Zone I can't decide with Sky Chase Zone as a very, very close second
StH 3: Ice Cap Zone
S&K: Flying Battery/Lava Reef
SCD(American): Palmtree Panic(about all I can remember at the moment)
3D Blast: Panic Puppet(or is that Puppet Panic)
SA: Station Square
SA2: City Escape
SH: Bingo Highway Act 1
ShtH: Final Haunt
Sonic Rush: the zeteuh music whatever level that's from
Sonic Riders: Babylon Garden I guess
Swift, region has nothing to do with soundtrack for 3D Blast: Flickies' Island. Console does. It's either the Genesis version, or the Saturn/PC one. It could be from any continent (well, okay, you can't get a Japanese copy of Sonic 3D for the Mega Drive since only the Saturn release came out there, but still), but the tunes would still be the same.
Anyway.
That should be all the Sonic games covered. And now, to go off-topic.
I suppose that's enough for now.
Leaving out games where I don't like the soundtrack, or can't remember it.
Sonic 1: Boss
Sonic 1 GG: Scarp Brain
Sonic 2: Chemical Plant
Sonic 2 GG: Scambled Egg
Sonic 3&K: Knuckles Final Battle against Mecha Sonic
Sonic 3DB:FI (Gen/MD): Rusty Ruins Act 1.
Sonic R: Livin' in the City
Sonic Adventure: Run Through The Speed Highway for Speed Highway
Sonic Adventure 2: Vengance Is Mine... For Radical Highway
Sonic Battle: History
Shadow: Cosmic Fall
I wont list the games I don't remember the music for. Strangely, as much as I've played Shadow, I can't remember a single tune besides the vocal tracks. Shows how bad the sound track was.
Sonic 1 - Main title theme (I love this theme so much, I'd have it as my mobile ringtone if I had a cell phone. But cell phones are evil devices that are slowly poisonoing society and killing the cinema experience.)
Sonic 2 - Wing Fortress
Sonic CD - Boss theme
Sonic 3 - Ice Cap Zone
Sonic & Knuckles - Hidden Palace Zone
Sonic Triple trouble - Sunset Park Zone Act 3
Sonic Adventure: - Windy Valley (1st theme)
Sonic Adventure 2 - Green Forest
Sonic Heroes - Egg Fleet
Sonic Advance 3 - Chaos Angel (preferably act 3, but it's all great)
Sonic Rush - Back 2 Back (Water Palace)
You'll be seeing a few joint-choices. Sorry, but I'm one of those indecisive types.
Sonic 1 - Special Stage
Sonic 2 - SUPER SONIC'S THEME!
Sonic 3 - Ice Cap
Sonic K - Hidden Palace / Sky Sanctuary
Sonic CD - Toot Toot *
Sonic 3D - Panic Puppet, MD version
Sonic R - Radiant Emerald / Super Sonic Racing
Advance 1 - Extra Zone I think
Advance 2 - Hot Crater
Advance 3 - Cyber Track / Chaos Angel
Adventure 1 - Sky Deck
Adventure 2 - City Escape. It's vocal, does it count? If not, Metal Harbor
Heroes - Frog Forest I guess
Battle - Battle Highway
Shadow - Uh...the first level.
Rush - Dead Line, Sonic mix.
Edit: How could I forget Sonic CD?
* If Toot Toot doesn't count because it isn't a zone BGM, then Tidal Tempest JP version. Never has there been a more fitting tune for a zone.
HSW: City Escape counts...
Sadly, final boss themes don't ( at msyself)
SH: Well, I started that sentance talking about Sonic CD, but I remembered the Sonic 3D differences half way through so sort of tacked it onto the end of the sentance.
Me: I've decided to move MY votes here and put the current candidates on the original post...
Sonic The Hedgehog:
Sonic 2:
Sonic 3: Ice Cap Zone
Come on, this is a contender for the Ultimate Sonic Song ever.
Sonic and Knuckles:
Sonic 3D (Mega Drive / Genesis Version): Panic Puppet 1
Panic Puppet was simply one of the best pieces of music in the game, and come on, what better tune than to introduce the game.
Sonic R:
Sonic CD (American Version): Stardust Speedway Bad Future
Potentially beats Ice Cap as best Sonic Song ever...
Come on, it's just... Perfect
Sonic Shuffle:
Sonic Adventure:
Sonic Adventure 2:
Sonic Heroes:
Sonic Advance: Egg Rocket Zone
It's perfect, makes the stage the classiest and best in the game and a contender for favourite 2D Zone of all time.
Sonic Advance 2: Hot Crater
Sonic Advance 3:
Sonic Rush:
Shadow: Ending (I am The Story Is Over according to the soundtrack)
Its a moving piano solo, I thought it was the perfect way to end, even if it was just ripping off the end of SA2 (AGAIN)
Sonic 1 (MD) - Star Light Zone
Sonic 1 (8bit) - Scrapbrain Zone (Though I love the whole soundtrack)
Sonic CD - You Can Do Anything ...if that doesn't count then.....um.....Collision Chaos
Sonic 2 (MD) - Mystic Cave Zone
Sonic 2 (8bit) - Intro
Sonic Chaos - Gigalopolis Zone
Sonic 3 - Credit/Ending theme
Sonic and Knuckles - Sky Sanctuary Zone
Sonic 3D (MD) - Credits theme
Sonic Adventure - Final Egg Zone (Both versions)
Sonic Adventure 2 - Don't know
Sonic Advance - Ice Mountain Zone Act 1
Sonic Advance 2 - Ice Paradice Zone
Sonic Advance 3 - Chaos Angel Zone Act 3
Sonic Heroes - Can't really say, my favourites are the vocals.
Sonic Rush - (hard to choose) A New Day
Oops, I misread the edit to the rules...oh well.
Ammendments comitted in the edit:
Sonic 3D: Panic Puppet - MD version
Sonic CD: Toot Toot Sonic Warrior. If it doesn't count because it isn't a zone BGM, then Tidal Tempest JP.
Not couning the OSTs I haven't heard, don't remember, or think is total crap.
Sonic 1 (Genesis) - Green Hill Zone--c'mon, it's the definative Sonic theme other than the title screen.
Sonic CD - Stardust Speedway Past--heh looks like it's unneccesary to split it up from the US to Mega tracks now.
Sonic 2 (Genesis) - Sky Chase Zone
Sonic 3 - Credit/Ending theme
Sonic and Knuckles - Sky Sanctuary Zone
Sonic 3D (Saturn) - Special Stage
Sonic R - Can You Feel the Sunshine
Sonic Adventure - Twinkle Park(all of the areas)
Sonic Adventure 2 - Supporting Me
Sonic Advance - Ice Mountain Zone(both acts)
Sonic Heroes - Mystic Mansion
Sonic Rush - Wrapped in Black
Sonic 1 (Genesis) - Green Hill
Sonic 2 (Genisis) - Emerald Hill (2P Racing mode)
Sonic 3 - I thought the music was rubbish!!
Sonic & Knuckles (Difficult choice!!) - Flying battery
Sonic 3D - The first level... Can't remember the name.
Sonic Adventure - Windy Vally (Both Parts)
Sonic Adventure 2 - Prison lane
Sonic Advance 3 - Alter emerald
Sonic Heroes - Damn, the last boss doesn't count does it...then it's Air fleet
Shadow - Westopolis
You didn't specify which 3D.

Would it be possible to nominate certain BGMs to be on the list? Really, why aren't Labyrinth Zone and Final Zone there for Sonic 1 for Genesis? Is the only reason Zone Boss isn't in Sonic 3's list because that tune is also in Sonic and Knuckles? Why are there games where you only have 1 to choose from? How is that voting? Why didn't you include Grand Metropolis for Sonic Heroes? Sure in SA2B I think there's a lot of BGM tunes that are better than the options listed, heck I don't like the tunes listed anyway...
Actually Matt, I don't think you have to choose from that first post. It's just a list of the songs that everyone else chose.
Ah ok, thanks Deckman.
I still can't make up my mind though. And I'm still not sure at what point I'd draw the line... as in, if you can choose a song that is common between two games (boss music from Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles)
Oh well...
Just posting a new vote, now that I have Sonic Riders.
Sonic Riders - Sand Ruins
