RAMROD 96,175 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Ā Sonic the Hedgehog creatorĀ Yuji NakaĀ has today confirmed a long-running theory associated with Michael Jackson and the soundtrack behind 1994'sĀ Sonic the Hedgehog 3. For a period of multiple decades, rumors have run rampant about whether or not the "King of Pop" helped create the score in the third mainline installment in the Sonic franchise. And while many people who worked at Sega have never confirmed these theories outright, Naka now seems ready to verify that this urban legend was accurate.Ā Taking to social media this morning, Naka spoke about the new remastered collection,Ā Sonic Origins, that recently had been released by Sega. In doing so, he brought up the music found inĀ Sonic the Hedgehog 3Ā and verified that Michael Jackson himself helped work on the game's score. By comparison, the new version ofĀ Sonic 3Ā that is found inĀ Sonic OriginsĀ has a soundtrack that has been rearranged, which is what prompted Naka to invoke Jackson's collaboration on the original version of the platformer. He then went on to share a picture that he took when visiting Jackson's home back in the 90s.Ā Naka's confirmation today about Jackson being involved withĀ Sonic the Hedgehog 3Ā doesn't necessarily come as a shock, but it does finally bring about some closure to this long-running rumor. In the past, other developers that worked onĀ Sonic 3Ā claimed that Jackson had worked on the game in some capacity but later went uncredited for his work.Ā https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/sonic-the-hedgehog-3-michael-jackson-confirmed/ Ā For those who interested: Ā (ļ¾āć®ā)ļ¾ā§*:ļ½„ļ¾ be delulu until it becomes trululu (*Ā“čøļ½*) ā”ā”ā” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Fudge 8,339 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Ngl I seriously thought some of the original tracks were BOPS back in the day. It finally makes sense.

LunaUniverse 2,810 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 This isnāt anything new aside from someone saying it without beating around the bus about it like Sega. One of the composers also admitted that MJ was involved in the process, but had issues with the sound chip qualityĀ 1# Samoyed Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Fudge 8,339 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 So I guess my underlying question is of course, why? It seems like a pretty random collaboration, albeitĀ pretty awesome. Iām a fan of MJ, but no where near stan level. Did he like video games? Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
