Lost World had some really great music, please don't lump that game in with Boom:RoL

The levels have no character? What does that even mean?

It means there are hardly any characters in the stages, duh. You only see Amy and Non-Hologram Metal Sonic in 2 zones!

edit: I guess Amy is in Palmtree Panic as well, forgot

Was there any good music in Sonic Boom, or was that just as bad as literally everything else about that franchise?

Nah, I'd describe it as "generically orchestrated". No real interesting instrumentation other than a normal string line, some horns and a little trumpet sometimes. And none of them have strong melodies to speak of. Almost the entire soundtrack is like this with little variation. It's pretty boring.

Only 2 songs I really think are any good that I thought would be worth sharing, and everything else is downhill from here:

That poo poo made me a little uneasy hearing it back in the day, especially paired with that hosed-up looking Human Sonic from the sound test secret.

I want to play Sonic 3C flipped horizontally with d-pad left/right swapped. Does any emulator provide this?

Maybe I'll shoot for a Sonic CD achievement run. I really hate Wacky Workbench though.

Wacky Workbench Zone 2 has a really awesome speedrun route.

I don't remember how I usually did it coming from the left. Maybe a single press spin dash from below?

I must've played the PAL version or something because I definitely heard the funk song not this creepy thing.

Y'all should check out the Sega CD episodes of VGMpire, it has Spencer Nilsen talking about his work on the system, including doing the Sonic CD soundtrack.

Nice. Sounds like it'll be a different kind of soundtrack to what we've had before, and there's been a fair bit of variety in the past as it is.

This also bodes well for a vocal track for the final boss, because god I've missed those.

I have watched Cybershell's Sonic 3 Knuckles run and he said in the video at some point "how am I gonna know if you've watched the entire video and not just the first 5 minutes" well, it's still happening, man. It happens to this day.

I started watching the series from the beginning while doing chores and stuff around the house and drat these videos are excellent.

Good morning everyone. I lost a bunch of weight in the last year and I put on my cool sonic t shirt on to run in this morning for the first time since I turned 30 last year and the shirt was so loose that sonic chafed my nipples real bad. Hope you all have a great rest of your week, who's still super excited about Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces? :D

I guess proven familiar gameplay as well as new gimmick gameplay is better than if it was just new gimmick gameplay? :shrug:

I personally thought Black Knight was a better game than Secret Rings, not that that's saying all that much but I at least had a bit more fun playing the former than I did the latter.

I liked Secret Rings a lot more than anything in Black Knight. Black Knight is just chock full of weird systems and design decisions, and that's saying something cause Secret Rings was already weird as hell.

Black Knight did have some cool songs though. Another track I always liked:

Is this including the bit where Knuckles tries to kill himself and Merlina being a nihilistic JRPG villain?

Because if so I agree.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
