3:54 - I love this part, and this fantastic melody actually appears in the original, but is unfortunately drowned out by another channel and is hard to make out - probably the only flaw in the original tune - so glad SnappleMan paid homage to it.
0:22 i literally cannot get over how epic this sounds. Like I can imagine an amp actually vibrating the whole room with just one note, and the guitar being LOUD. Totally awesome imo, I'm baffled
Almost 14 years later, and this album still reigns supreme among all Sonic 3&K remixes. Even now, I still wonder if there was anything worthwhile that was achieved in this decade compared to all the decades before it, or if it was worth all that was lost in the process... for even now, as we move onto the next decade, I still struggle to come up with an answer for these.
You don't play Sonic games for the gameplay. You play Sonic games for the butt rockin' soundtracks, as they are frequently the only good thing about the game. Shadow the Hedgehog? Virtually unplayable, full of great songs. Sonic 06? Sent to market unfinished but with one of the most beautiful OSTs out there. Black Knight and Secret Rings are names 99% of people don't remember, but Seven Rings in Hand and Knight of the Wind still blow it out of the water every time. If the gameplay could even come close to the quality of their soundtracks, Sonic as a series would be a household name instead of the joke that it is.
Soundtracks. The only good thing about the series that is A joke instead of being a household?! Seriously?! How Come The Only Good Thing About The Games Are The Soundtracks?! Why! The Gameplay Is Outdated in colors ultimate. Colors is perfect. And why are you "no !" Becoming increasingly concerned at thinking the sonic series was a joke?! Why! The soundtracks? Only good things?! About the worst?! Why are you people kept doing this! Gameplay is awesome and you blew it!!😡
Life has a sense of humor, as a kid i used to listen to this song and now here i am in my 30s, watching an anime based on a guy with malicious fingers.
No matter how many times I hear this remixed or covered by another artist, non of them have managed to really grip my ears like 1:35 - 1:55. Easily my favorite part. If only I could add it to my Spotify playlist 😓
SSG_Ronnie42 Robotnik was never a threat. He tried to fend Sonic off with colorful robots that looked like cute animals. He was meant to be a clownish, hammy villain from the start; it was Sega of America that thought he should be serious.
alejandrothefader Let's not forget that he stole an infinite power source that could control other infinite power sources, then used it to build a space station the size of a small planet to use as a base if operations and a number of monstrous robots, one of which could fight on level with a being using infinite power sources. Dude had nothing less than galactic domination on his mind, and was clearly willing to eradicate entire planets to achieve that.
SSG_Ronnie42 We haven’t had that since 2009. The latest game seems to try and revive that, but will it last through the next few games (if they even happen). Edit: Well, going for that angle didn’t save the game from being cheap and flimsy. I kinda stopped caring when that happened.
This is by far the best remix I have ever heard of any video game final boss soundtrack ever. Something about the original version just screamed out for being redone as an intense hard rock/heavy metal anthem, and Eggman certainly deserved having the best hard-rock remix for his best final boss theme.
I still think this remix is the definitive version of the song. I love the Cash Cash remix, but it just has some things missing from it that this one has.
RedKazan An animator of a rather popular sprite animation called Super Mario Bros. Z. I'd recommend looking it up. It's a little cheesy, but the fight choreography is to die for, and has just recently been rebooted.
The series is having a re-boot right now, the animation is 3x better than before... 3x better than *before* , it already still beats anything we have now. Now the animation is just... Insane
I downloaded this to my itunes and heard it just now for the first time in ages. Just had to come on line to share my appreciation. Snappleman, if you read this, you are a legend. Thank you for giving this gift to the world.
Really makes me wish that there would be a second Project Chaos... but that probably would be just greed of me. Every music just *SLAPS* and I can't thank the composers enough.
this is SUCH A MASTERPIECE. I can't think of a better remake of a boss song than this one. It's intense to its very core, from start to finish. Thank you so much SnappleMan, there isn't a single time I listen to this song and get unimpressed.
I can imagine a super fight with THIS song even more than the Doomsday remix... That's friggin' fantastic. The dudes behind Project Chaos were ahead of their time.
this is the BEST cover of this theme to date. Got the song on itunes a while ago and i was blown the F away. Just takes me back to the first time i got to Big Arms. That music hits and you feel your impending doom as the sky grows dark and out he comes... talk about tense, that fight had my palms sweating (in the process made my hands slip on that smooth plastic mega drive controller.)
This is how the 2D game should be, fast, extreme catchy music. Alot of people are like..no guitars or something, but really, Snappleman shows that you can pull it off perfectly.
*wipes a tear from my eye* There's hope, yet! We're not all doomed! The future generation still has a chance at survival! Now... if only I had time to create a cure for that toxin I created, which only kills people under the age of 16... Probably should have planned ahead...
Honestly, SEGA should come and hire these guys to remix all of their songs from Sonic's 1st generation. They are so awesome that everyone would love 'em! Fight on, brave warriors!
Oh, I remember that game from a LONG time ago. When the song was reaching the end and then got remixed, that's where the nostalgia first kicked in. I think the final level was a space level :p
this song... its incredible. the perfection of the guitar, the precision of the keyboard, and the felling of the game is embedded into every riff. it.. it just goes beyond words, even. simply incredible
Alex Makhlouf (who made the Generations mix) looks at a lot of fan comments, is a HUGE Sonic fan himself (including the music) and probably did get inspired by this.
malicious fingers in this case refers to phase 1 of kyodai eggman robo, rather than big arms, btw! (if sampling Death Egg Zone, Act 2 wasn’t obvious enough)
To think this album is almost closer to Sonic 3's release then it is today, well it makes me feel old.
You weren't right then.
But you are now. Fuck. I'm old.
This just made me turn into oil.
Jesus fuck right in the feels
Crumbling to dust as we speak
Stop it

Dude, you know that the Sonic Generations team heard this shit and was like "Yo, we gotta do something like that!"
Wouldn't be surprised if true

@@philithegamer8265 the classic and Adventure games are incredible, as well as Unleashed; and the Advance and Rush trilogies are excellent as well
One thumbs up button can not express how much I enjoyed this.
Dr Robotnik: I give it... 4822 THUMBS UP!
I'll add a thumbs up to this comment to aid in its greatness
make a playlist called "yes" or something, then add this to it.
I want to remake Sonic with thin over the music
If this remix had actually played in the game, we're all screwed in less than a second
Yep
agreed
boy it was in the gane
Now with Sonic 3 AIR we can do just that...oh boy!
You’re already screwed in less than a second because the floor drops to the death zone before you can realize that a cutscene is over
Bold, brainy, and coldhearted...
Life has a sense of humor, as a kid i used to listen to this song and now here i am in my 30s, watching an anime based on a guy with malicious fingers.
Kid named malicious finger
I honestly think Snappleman contributed the best songs out of the entire project

This is one is probably my number 1 final boss fight theme. S3&k=best game ever
Mega Man X1 is the best game ever! S3&K comes close though :)
ZacTheCrippleFTW S3&K still tops. MMX1 if Zero was playable, sure. :P
goldman77700 to each their own :)
ZacTheCrippleFTW each person is allowed their own opinion, but some opinions are wrong, and yours is one of them.
Forgetting about sonic 3 complete!
Back when Robotnik was a threat, Knuckles kicked ass with amazing music like shit was going down. ;)

If I could write a Midi, I’d try to combine this with some of the sequences from the Cash Cash version.

Metal hands are the The Eggman's plaything.
Long live the Eggman Empire

If this is Eggman's boss theme he already wins hands down
Couldn't agree more.
Hands. I get it. lol
DriftTheHedgehog1 I couldn't help but put that pun in there :p
Joseph Murray more like FINGERS DOWN
eggman has a theme like this and sonic still wins....seems legit (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I can imagine a super fight with THIS song even more than the Doomsday remix...
That's friggin' fantastic. The dudes behind Project Chaos were ahead of their time.
When that guitar hits and you can only imagine that giant mech rising up, intent on crushing you like an insect. Time to RUN.
Modding smash bros to put this on the game was my best decision in life
Holy shit. My head. It can't handle such epicness at once.

OK

Its Malicious Fingers!
Still absolutely slaps 16 years later.
To anyone with a bit of taste, this should be a great song.
To anyone who grew up playing Sonic on the Mega Drive, this is just epic.
"Living in the Okinawa barracks brought me this theme. 2022 brought me back again." - himode
By far the best sonic remixer I have ever heard this is my absolute favorite.
This is probably my favorite track on this album. Dead Batteries and The Doomsday are great too.
They're both really good. This is more hardcore - metally while the other one is synth hard rock and more acceptable to the public. :)
To think I finally found the source from OCremix so many years ago. Friggin amazing
49 people couldn't defeat dr. robotnic/eggman
and 13 more have tried in the last 5 years. armatures.
This song fills my soul with pure EPICNESS
I'd agree with that. Sonic Adventure 2 was the last Sonic game that both played well and was properly developed.
Holy crap this is amazing. The nostalgia, the rocking tune, the epicness, wow.
Words cannot describe how simply amazing and stunning this remix is. It's like nothing i have ever heard.
Sonic smash bros 😭
Hands Down, the very best Sonic the Hedgehog Musical Cover on CZcams! Heavy, Thrilling, Heartfull, Banger! Good Lord, this shit is rad!
I swear to God, this is a colossal milestone in remix history!

This is how the 2D game should be, fast, extreme catchy music.
Alot of people are like..no guitars or something, but really, Snappleman shows that you can pull it off perfectly.
Too good. I really cannot express how good this is.
1:35 - 1:54 totally rules.
It really captures the hard rock and electric vibe thats been the essence of sonic tracks recently.
47 people have not a clue!
***** Haven`t I seen you somewhere before? xD

This is still in my top five or so boss themes, final boss or otherwise. It is the most badass Robotnik/Eggman has ever sounded.
Anything metal is eargasmic
you heard Tetrastructural Minds?
This is truely outstanding. This track is by far one of the best final boss arrangements I ever heard.
Better than the original fr
