The short lived Sonic VGM quiz has come to a close! Only 5 people decided to participate in this thing, though if that's due to a lack of interest of VGM contests, the fact that it's a mini quiz rather than a contest, or maybe the fact that forums are slowly dying, who knows! What I do know, however, is the answers to the quiz and the ranks that the contestants got! So let's get moving!
~~~
Finish!
01. Chasing Drive (Kart) [Sonic Adventure 2 (DC)]
Found by: Everyone
Everyone's favorite part of SA2 obviously.
02. Fang the Sniper [Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble (GG)]
Found by: 3 people
Also remixed in SRB2 and Superstars.
03. Get Edgy [Sonic Rush (DS)]
Found by: 4 people
Altitude Limit is definitely not my favorite level in the game I'll say that much.
04. Character Select [Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)]
Found by: 2 people
One of the many songs on the list that are in lesser played parts of their games.
05. Theme of Splash Canyon [Sonic Riders (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 4 people
Have no idea why I picked this one honestly. This is one of the weakest Riders tracks I feel.
06. This Horizon [Knuckles' Chaotix (32X)]
Found by: 4 people
Forgot how good the soundtrack on this game is.
07. Arriving on Starfall Islands [Sonic Frontiers (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 3 people
Surprised that many people actually paid attention to the music in the first cutscene in the game.
08. Hill Top Zone [Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Gen/MD)]
Found by: Everyone
A classic Sonic gimmie.
09. Boss: Unga Bunga [Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice (3DS)]
Found by: 2 people
I just picked this game randomly and picked a random song from it to try to throw some people off.
10. Toxic Caves [Sonic Spinball (Gen/MD)]
Found by: Everyone
I wonder how many people who played this game for the first time actually pass this level.
11. Sunny Side [Sonic Shuffle (DC)]
Found by: 3 people
Half found by: 1 person
Plays during the versus results screen.
12. Result Screen (E-Rank) [Sonic Unleashed (PS3/X360)]
Found by: Everyone
The funny music.
13. Staff Roll [Sonic Advance 3 (GBA)]
Found by: Everyone
The best staff roll song of the advance trilogy.
14. Continue? [Sonic Mania (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 3 people
Not a song many Sonic fans would probably hear.
15. Bridge Zone [Sonic the Hedgehog (GG)]
Found by: Everyone
I'm surprised this many people played Sonic 1 on Game Gear. Either that or easy process of elimination since it's literally the second level in the first Sonic Game Gear title.
16. Volcanic Vault & Landslide Limbo ~ Run, Run, Run! [SegaSonic The Hedgehog (ARC)]
Found by: 4 people
This spot was a last second change as I felt like I needed an arcade Sonic title on here. This spot used to be the funny Central City from Dark Brotherhood.
17. Skill Shop [Sonic Generations (Multiplatform)]
Found by: Everyone
A remix of the Sonic 2 VS result screen.
18. Living in the City (Instrumental) [Sonic R (Sat/Win)]
Found by: 3 people
Half found by: 1 person
No one are stuck playing these race tracks long enough for the intrumental version of songs to play...right?
19. Opening [Sonic Origins (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 3 people
Pretty sure most people skip this sooo...
20. Games [Sonic Gems Collection (PS2/GC)]
Found by: 3 people
Not many people know about this one compared to Mega Collection. Even though it has a better unique selection of games in my personal opinion.
21. Special Stage: Bonus Challenge [Sonic Heroes (PS2/GC/XB)]
Found by: 4 people
Probably my favorite special stage theme for nostalgic reasons.
22. Bonus Stage: Gumball [Sonic 3 / Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Gen/MD)]
Found by: 3 people
My favorite of the Sonic 3 bonus stages. Best music too.
23. Planet Wisp (Act 3) [Sonic Colors (Wii)]
Found by: 4 people
Not as recognizable as act 1, but there's familiar beats in there.
24. Tails' Lab [Sonic Battle (GBA)]
Found by: 4 people
Half found by: 1 person
Huh. Had no idea that many people played this game, but here we are. Granted Sonic Battle does have a pretty noticable soundfont.
25. Boss [Sonic Rivals 2 (PSP)]
Found by: 4 people
I'm actually surprised that people remember this spin off exists.
26. Egg Gate [Sonic Forces (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 3 people
Half found by: 2 people
For a mid game it has some good music.
27. Boss [Tails Adventure (GG)]
Found by: 3 people
Well, if you know me then you know that there going to be a lot of Tails focused songs in this list as well.
28. Double Down [Sonic Lost World (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 3 people
I'm not even gonna link the actual song. This video is all you need.
29. Special Stage [Sonic 3D Blast (Gen)]
Found by: Everyone
I'm actually in the minority of Genesis 3D Blast enjoyers.
30. Frozen Base Zone Act Tails [Sonic Superstars (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 3 people
I never played this one yet but I hear flak about it constantly. Maybe I'll get it when it really gets low on price.
31. System: Result Screen [Team Sonic Racing (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 2 people
Half found by: 1 person
A remix of the Sonic Mania Competition Results Screen.
32. Westopolis [Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2/GC/XB)]
Found by: 4 people
This is how you know just how serious the Shadow game is right on the first level.
33. Victory [Sonic Pinball Party (GBA)]
Found by: 2 people
Half found by: 1 person
I don't know why but I always find this sprite funny.
34. Title Screen [Sonic Labyrinth (GG)]
Found by: 3 people
I still don't think I ever played this game past the first level.
35. Manuals [Sonic Mega Collection / Sonic Mega Collection Plus (GC/PS2)]
Found by: 3 people
I dunno why this video says it plays during the Games Screen as well because it only plays during reading the manuals.
36. Knave the Hedgehog and an Oversized Letter Opener [Sonic and the Black Knight (Wii)]
Found by: 2 people
This sounds so Zelda that I was hoping peeps would pick this as the intruder, but alas.
37. Page 1 ~ Travels With Tails [Tails and the Music Maker (Pico)]
Found by: 2 people
Out of all the Tails focused games. This sure was one of them.
38. Final Boss: Lyric [Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U)]
Found by: 2 people
I tried to find the least generic sounding song in this game, but even this sounds generic.
39. And...Fish Hits! [Sonic Adventure (DC)]
Found by: Everyone
Probably the most epic of fishing music.
40. The Core [Sonic Riders Zero Gravity (PS2/Wii)]
Found by: 4 people
Yes, I did in fact reuse this song from the VGM contest I hosted back when I took over the organizer role. I wanted to pick another song but...this song is just too good.
41. Labyrinth Zone [Sonic the Hedgehog (Gen/MD)]
Found by: Everyone
Everyone better had gotten this one.
42. Crisis City [Sonic 06 (PS3/X360)]
Found by: Everyone
I really want to see this game get a remake.
43. Beats in My Head (Elena Stage) [Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (ARC/DC)] [**INTRUDER**]
Half found by: 2 people
While 2 peeps found the intruder, they didn't find out the game it's from, so only 2 points for them!
44. Death Egg mk.II (Act 2) [Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II (Multiplatform)]
Found by: 4 people
This is the only song I can remember from this game. I wonder why.
45. Waterbike [Sonic Rush Adventure (DS)]
Found by: Everyone
Honestly the most unique emerald challenge stage I've seen.
46. Sonic World [Sonic Jam (Sat)]
Found by: 4 people
Sonic Jam is another game I thought many people wouldn't have remembered existed, but you peeps showed me.
47. Wacky Workbench "B" mix [Sonic the Hedgehog CD (CD)]
Found by: Everyone
Everyone do know their JP OSTs for this game too! Good good.
48. Stages 9-12 [Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Gen)]
Found by: 3 people
Half found by: 1 person
Good thing this just popped up.
49. EGG X (X-Zone Boss 3) [Sonic Advance (GBA)]

This final boss was such a pain for me back in the day.
50. Name Entry (What's Your Name?) [Sonic the Fighters (ARC)]

I hope this mini VGM quiz isn't a sign of the potential stagnation of the VGM contests as a whole, but I'll do my best to keep things rolling along even if participation numbers are going down! So once again, if you're interested in host a VGM Guessing Contest of your very own, please PM/DM me!Hopefully Koba can prepare his VGM contest at some point during next month in May!
