Sonic's music in the Wii U version:
  1. Green Hill
  2. Angel Island (remix)
  3. Open Your Heart
  4. Escape from the City
  5. Live and Learn
  6. Sonic Heroes
  7. His World (instrumental)
  8. Seven Rings in Hand
  9. Reach for the Stars
  10. ROOFTOP RUN
  11. Wonder World
  12. Windy Hill 1
No Sonic Boom or Sonic R music makes me sad, though. Also, why cut Scrap Brain and Emerald Hill?

Also, no new remixes..

I want a Hydrocity Act 1 remix. Or Starlight Zone remix, but that'd probably be too chill and out of place.

No Sonic R music makes you sad? It was very unfitting for a racing game, and is even more so for a fighting game.

I'm very happy Escape from the City's a selectable song in this game. ^^

Am interested in seeing if we get any new tracks from the ones yet to be unlocked. But yeah, Escape from the City is definitely a satisfactory addition for me ^^

Wow what a terrible list. Like the only good choices there were Rooftop Run and Angel Island, and maybe Wonder World. All the amazing songs to choose from and they went with a bunch of cringey vocal themes that never had any place in the series to begin with. They didn't even include Endless Possibilities, the one vocal theme that doesn't suck besides maybe reach for the stars.

Seriously, they kept Seven Rings in Hand over any of the other multiple songs they could have chosen. That isn't even bad in the "this song really isn't a good representation of Sonic music at all" sense, that's a legitimately awful song.

My song list for the hypothetical situation that the people who chose the songs for Windy Hill didn't have their heads up their asses (still no actual remixes since for some reason the people working on Smash and/or SEGA just seem to be completely against that idea for some reason)

Classic rep

Modern Green Hill Zone - because having a 16-bit Mega Drive song, one of the slowest most relaxing songs in any of the games at that, is frankly pretty silly

Chemical Plant/Casino Night Zone - both iconic Sonic 2 stages, were included in Generations console/3DS respectively. imo Chemical Plant would be better, but since there are no remixes and I feel like Modern Chemical Plant deviates a bit too far from the source to really count as a "classic" song if it were included, Casino Night might be better just due to being able to recycle the Generations 3DS version.

Angel Island Zone - Ideally this would actually be Hydrocity Zone, but since there's already an Angel Island remix in Brawl it's better to go for that for obvious reasons. Ice Cap would also be a good choice but there's a whole load of licensing issues surrounding that so that's pretty much impossible I think.

Flying Battery/Sky Sanctuary Zone - yes Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles count as different games shut up. I wasn't too sure which to pick here. Sky Sanctuary was in Generations which gives it an advantage but Flying Battery is also ****ing badass and would totally be a better song choice. They both have official remixes so no issue there.

Stardust Speedway Bad Future - again, included in Generations, pretty iconic track due to being the theme of the Metal Sonic race in both Sonic CD and Generations. Maybe have both the US and JP/EU versions in the game, with home region as a starter track and other version as an unlockable.

Modern rep
Now we're getting into the era that uses actual instruments, which obviously allows for direct porting without getting a load of 16-bit songs.

Speed Highway - come on, who doesn't love this stage and this song. There's no contest for this one.

City Escape - honestly I don't even like this song and don't get why so many people do, but at this point it's pretty much 3D Sonic's Green Hill Zone, so it's pretty much obligatory. Preferably the Generations mix since I find it slightly less cringy.

Rooftop Run/Endless Possibilities - Rooftop Run is probably the most popular Unleashed stage both due to its aesthetic and its amazing music, so it's a pretty obvious choice. On the other hand Endless Possibilities is pretty iconic for Unleashed as a whole, and is a rare example of a vocal song in a Sonic game that I don't hate. In Smash 4 Rooftop Run is the Generations mix, but personally I prefer the original version. Either is acceptable though.

Planet Wisp/Reach for the Stars - basically the same as Rooftop Run/Endless Possibilities. I think Planet Wisp is a better choice in this case due to better fitting the stage's aesthetic. It's quite a relaxed track but not so much that it'd feel out of place.


Lost World for relevance

Wonder World - main theme of the game and an amazing track in general, Sm4sh team actually didn't **** up with this one.

Windy Hill - honestly not a very good song imo, but it's the theme of the level so they can't exactly not include it.

Honeycomb Highway - both the level and the song are pretty popular and its fast pace and jazz elements make it seem like a great song to Smash to.

Deadly Six theme - either orchestral or electric guitar/banjo version work, possibly a mishmash of the two.

Dr. Eggman Battle - final boss of the game and a ****ing badass song to go along with it. A nice hardcore song to go along with all the feel-good gotta-go-fast type songs.

Seabottom Segue is also an amazing and incredibly popular track, but I don't think it would really mesh well with the stage. Dragon Dance could possibly be swapped with Honeycomb Highway.

Obviously this is all affected by my personal opinions and biases but I think this is a good range of songs from all eras and tried to pick ones that were both iconic and fit the stage and the gameplay. Most importantly it doesn't have Seven Rings in Hand.

Think it's just mainly different (for the lack of a better term) eras of Sonic fans and such. My very first Sonic Game was Sonic Adventure 2: Battle so in a way Escape from the City is indeed my Green Hill Zone. :V

Loved it as a kid, still love it now. Some fans like me just grew up on the more modern games so the vocal songs are by now the norm for us.

Of course there's also music can be one of the most subjective by person compared to even most things in media. But songs you loved when you were young are less likely to have your opinion change on them even years later. Or they at the very least become guilty pleasures.

It's great for recovery on stages that have walls. It just rides right along it. I still like U-Turning pellet because it catches people off-guard, even if it's not safe on start-up. It has great KO power and super armor on release though... Worth the risk sometimes.

Hydrant seems terrible for certain match-ups. I never feel safe setting one out, as it seems like it's so easy to use against me. Characters like Ganon and da Bowz can send it flying with one hit.

I have yet to see anyone go Sonic against my Sonic. Most people just rage-cycle through all their secondaries and still lose.

:093:
The folks I play with regularly go after the hydrant sometimes. Greninja just upsmashes it once and it goes flying. The thing about it is its not you, its just some stage control. If they go after it, you go after them from another angle and punish.

If customs are legal, using On Fire Hydrant keeps it much safer.

I'm gonna hold off on listening to the music until release... Same with the opening cutscene. I want to be surprised.

And yo, I really wanted to watch Sonic Boom but I don't have cable and even if I did it aired at like 7 AM so... I'll have to find it online somewhere.

Sadly Europe doesn't get it for another couple of months. Which doesn't even make sense, considering Europe/the UK probably have a much bigger Sonic scene than the US anyway, but I guess since it's an American/French project it was inevitable those countries would get it first.

Nothing will ever beat Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Scratch and Grounder are lol.

Please help me. I hate playing as Mario or any of his damn clones in any iteration of smash. But I'm having fun as Doc. I feel sick. I want to disown myself.

Did anyone else see the Sonic Boom cg cartoon? personally I loved it
I saw it, it was pretty decent. It's kinda like a tamer Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog that relies mainly on humor to carry the show and snarky humor from pretty much every character. I could see Eggman being as much of a highlight of the show as he was in AoSTH as well.

Sticks the Badger is kinda annoying though. I didn't feel properly introduced to her. I think in terms of Sonic fans it will depend if you can like or appreciate the lighthearted side of Sonic. Anyone who takes Sonic a little too seriously probably is going to hate it.

I can't deny that Sticks is annoying sometimes but she's a really funny character though XD. Also they made Knuckles semi stupid for some reason lol.. and I like what they did with Amy though.

Yeah, Amy in Sonic Boom so far has her best characterization in years. She's funny, she's not entirely obsessed with making Sonic her boyfriend, etc.

I haven't watched it yet, so I'll hold my tongue, but it's upsetting to hear that Knuckles is made out to be the big strong stupid guy. That was my fear...

Knuckles was just supposed to be easily angered and naive. He's not a meathead. Just gullible and does the talking with his fists.

I'll do what I can. Megafox, K Prime, and Valdens are all going to still be giving me trouble.
At least Trela isn't using Lucario. :applejack:

I hate online matches that are smooth but have a slight delay. I miss my spin dash combos and it makes me angry.

Just had to throw that out there.

Also. I wish I could make it to a tourney in the near future. I hope their is a local tournament when the wii u version drops. I would bet on myself. It's weird but I feel like anyone who mains Sonic must be good at Smash.

Continuing. I didn't even know that sonic boom aired! I don't watch tv ever so I am not surprised. I'll have to check it out.

I watched some of the gameplay for Sonic Boom on wii-u. Right off the bat, they go out of their way to make sure you know they turned Knuckles from gullible to downright stupid. They guy doesn't know his left from right. It's very disappointing. The gameplay looks more like a crash bandicoot game, than a sonic game. It's awkward. Don't even try the 3ds demo. My god, is that game bad. It's funny how they limit you to 8 plays of the demo. You'd have to pay me to play it again after playing through the first stage once. It's possibly the worst official Sonic game to date.

You cannot be serious. Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic 2006, and arguably IMO Sonic and the Secret Rings were beyond the point of being terrible. There's no way Sonic Boom can top those.

To me the 3ds sonic boom doesn't seem that bad to me nor is it great but it feels a little in between In my opinion... If it's fun then I'll continue to play it if not then well the game is a disappointment.

The only place the UK ever posts anything anymore is in the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SmashUK/
Smashboards is trash for a community of our size trying to discuss things. it literally gets flooded lol.

I played both demos at NYCC and my biggest complaint with the Wii U demo is that it wasn't so much a demo as much as it was just starting off randomly in a level with no sense of direction or objective. The 3DS one I felt was a lot better as it had more of a Sonic vibe, but I was playing the same level for like 6 minutes which is not only way too long for the first level of a Sonic game, but especially for a demo. The dialogue and personalities are overall pretty appealing (with the exception possibly of Knuckles) but I don't see this game being the worst Sonic game to date... There's a lot of competition for that title.
You cannot be serious. Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic 2006, and arguably IMO Sonic and the Secret Rings were beyond the point of being terrible. There's no way Sonic Boom can top those.
I think it's pretty fair to say that like, any Sonic game on Game Gear isn't worth playing.

I think Secret Rings is the game that was the tipping point for me. I really thought Sonic was seeing his last days as I didn't even bother buying Black Knight. Really depressing times. Sonic Rush was the gem in the rough. God that game was amazing.

Then I thought Sonic Unleashed was going to be the saving grace. So close.

Thank you Colors and Generations. I also honestly really enjoyed Lost World (Wii U, not 3DS) despite the mixed reviews it got.
To me the 3ds sonic boom doesn't seem that bad to me nor is it great but it feels a little in between In my opinion... If it's fun then I'll continue to play it if not then well the game is a disappointment.
That's pretty much the vibe I'm getting. I'm way more pumped for the show, but I feel the game will be mad decent.
