Michael Jackson worked on Sonic 3?

As a musician, I find it awfully difficult to buy into this.

For the similarities between Carnival Night Zone and whatever Jackson's version was, the creator of the video has a point. The little fragmented melody at the end of the loop for CNZ is the same as the fragment in Jackson's song. Of course, it's also a two-note pattern going upwards in a scale.

The chord progression between Ice Cap Zone and whatever the other one is by far the most ... strange evidence to me. I'm not quite sure what the writer is saying that G Minor is the relative minor of EFlat Major. That's just ...outright...wrong. While he's right, there is only one note different (EFlat Major is Eflat, G, Bflat, G minor is G, Bflat, D), the relative minor of EFlat Major should be C Minor. And the chord progression between "Ice Cap Zone" and "Who Is It" holds no similarities aside form starting on the same chord. There are reasons that chord progression fits with Ice Cap, but, that's not really worth explaining. I'll attest it off to us being very used to hearing things in a jazz style, things like Dominant 9th, Dominant 11th, and even Dominant 13ths, along with minor versions... there's a whole plethora of a mess that I can get into describing these chords. And there are a lot of chords that are similar, which makes sense: in a certain key (especially in pop music) you're going to use a lot of the same chords over and over. But it's the *order* of these chords which matters. Not the sheer usage of them.

Also, I believe the composer(s) for the sonic games has always been written as "Sonic Team" - never one composer, or composers. Correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
