47th: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (SMS) - Under Ground Zone

Score: 69/100 (7.2), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (SMS) (2/7)

Definitely feels like a song for some Sonic CD SMS version, which is not surprising given the composers! Really good energy, incredibly catchy melody throughout the whole thing, I've definitely had this song stuck in my head randomly a few times over the course of the past few weeks... and I didn't even really think that much of it when I first heard it. Somehow it managed to worm its way into my memory, but that just proves it's a good ass song!

46th: Sonic Mania - Steel Cortex - Titanic Monarch Zone Act 2
Composer: Tee Lopes
Score: 69/100 (7.2), Sonic Mania (15/28)

Holy crap I can't believe this is a Sonic level song honestly. Incredibly cool mechanical sound that would not be out of place in a really cool electronic/mechanical final dungeon area in a high-end JRPG. The number of different whirrings and blips and noises going on throughout is just so cool; that beep ostinato that persists in the background through most of it as well is incredibly cool. The piano part that starts at 1:01 and leads into full-force melody at 1:10 is actually insane, and then the piano run to cap off the loop right at 1:25 WHEW MAMA this one knows how to get me. Really cool song, definitely a unique one among the series.

45th: Sonic CD (JPN/PAL) - Palmtree Panic
Composer: Naofumi Hataya
Score: 69/100 (7.2), Sonic CD (JPN/PAL) (10/28)

Yaaaayy!! We just had the "G" mix a few places ago which is rather similar to this song in many ways, but I prefer this one by quite a bit. It's not so over-the-top happy sugar rush parade and it's a lot easier to just... vibe with as a result. 1:06 is a good example of this; the piano just chills the song out for a little bit without actually killing any of the energy of the song so that it can just kinda glide back to full force at 1:22 yaaaay and not seem weird at all. Very well worked, very fun, great song!! Woo!!
