To be honest, Sonic's music really dropped off after Masato Nakamura stopped composing. Even after he quit composing and let the Sonic Team compose for Sonic 3 & Knuckles, they still implemented some of his composing styles which was good. His compositions were just so identifiable and infectious.

I mean, just how everyone knows you're playing Mario when they hear the Main Theme, you know you're playing Sonic when you hear the Green Hill Zone theme.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3's music was a little more dull to me though. It just didn't seem to have that great magic of the original. Going on to Sonic & Knuckles, the music seemed to have dropped down even more. I just stopped liking the music more and more.

For me, replay value drops more when the level I want to replay has average/bad music (like Sandopolis for example).

I still to this day can't understand why Sonic Team decided to drop the original Sonic Theme from Sonic 3. The theme they replaced it with isn't nearly as good.

Speaking of Sonic 2, shortly after Masato Nakamura's departure to go full-time in leading his J-pop band Dreams Come True, he released a promotional song to go with the album which was made using the Ending Theme music in Sonic 2.

Wikipedia says the title of the song is "Sweet Dreams", but I can't find a song by that title on their entire discography.

EDIT: Turns out "Sweet Dreams" isn't the correct name of the song. The correct name would be "SWEET SWEET SWEET" and it's featured on Dreams Come True's "The Swinging Star" album. I'll try and get a copy and upload it here to see what you all think.

Mp3 of the Ending Theme included.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, I'm still looking. I was able to hear a 30 second clip of the song and it sounds awesome. I'm not sure if he does instrumentals, I'll just have to pick up the whole abum then.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ok everyone,

I was finally able to get my hands on that song.

I've uploaded both the Sonic 2 version, and the Dreams Come True version so you guys can compare.

Masato Nakamura actually sings a bit in this. Not bad in my opinion.

Check it out.
