Alright, first round of some extra stuff! This'll be mostly from the pool of games that I did use, but stuff outside of being used in zones

-

EX1: Sonic CD (USA) - Little Planet
Composer: Spencer Nilsen, David Young
Score: 65/100 (7.0), ~68th place of 174

I really like Sonic Boom in general, but something about the instrumental here is really cool! I appreciate that they didn't even add in a lead to "replace" the vocals, and let it be just an instrumental. Especially the heavy impact of all the synth drums, I love those especially, but when the pad backing comes in at 0:52 is also really, really cool! Good solo to end it off as well!

EX2: Sonic the Hedgehog - Boss
Composer: Masato Nakamura
Score: 22/100 (4.8), ~173rd place of 174

BING BONG BING BONG BING BONG holy moley every single instrument in the song is piercing into my soul and pushing me into the ground and im sinking throug hteh floor beneath the sound, oh god the scrap brain low quality offbeat drum hits are here too oh god. this song drives me insane I can't imagine getting stuck on a boss cause I think I'd want to die irl instead of die to the boss. it hurts in ways i don't like :((

EX3: Sonic & Knuckles - Bonus Stage: Magnetic Orbs
Composer: Jun Senoue
Score: 66/100 (7.0), ~62nd place of 174

Okay not going to lie, a humongous part of my enjoyment of this is that bass. Jesus christ is that bass GOOD it bounces in the bottom of my stomach and off the walls of my body and makes me physically bounce every time I listen to it, it's just really, really fun to listen to!

EX4: Sonic Mania - Hi-Spec Robo Go! - Hard Boiled Heavy Boss
Composer: Tee Lopes
Score: 97/100 (9.0), ~3rd place of 174
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uK6uFp7x_4

this song. is. RIDICULOUS. give me anything thats up tempo and jazzy and boss-like and it's very unlikely I find it less than stellar and I think song proves it to me lmfao. And then you add HEAVY VOCAL SAMPLING like hello tee lopes???? thank you??????? the bridge at 0:40 absolutely slaps theres so much going on for what is effectively supposed to be "downtime" and just holy what theres so much looooooool. every part of this song oozes fun and yeah its just an absolute bop in every sense

-

EX5: Knuckles' Chaotix - Moonrise
Composer: Junko Shiratsu
Score: 69/100 (7.2), ~47th place of 174
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3R4tqOpVto

Uh huh 32X percussion-laden chill song ranking high who woulda thought after I mentioned loving those drums in like every previous Chaotix write up? This one's super duper short, but the loop works so well that I can listen to it for quite a long time and it never loses its charm.
