Ice Mountain Act 1 | Sonic Advance (YM2612+SN76489; 3D Blast Style+)

#sonicthehedgehog #segagenesis #chiptune #sonicadvance #tatsuyukimaeda #sonic #ym2612 #sn76489 Casino Paradise Act 2 (likely Yutaka Minobe), Ice Mountain Act 1 (conceivably Tatsuyuki Maeda), and Ice Mountain Act 2 (ditto) are the triad that I can attribute to beginning my Sonic music intrigue. All three compositions were ear candy for my developing musical sensibilities as an infant, and this sentiment is unwavering. I've been longing to create a YM2612 arrangement for this theme ever since my channel's descent into "chiptune exclusivity," but all my attempts have been fruitless. Ironically, it was during the “creative drought” that I blueprinted the first satisfactory iteration that was worth pursuing. Rather than relying on a single style, I let the J. League Pro Striker 2 and Sonic 3D Blast banks intermingle—this serves as context for the "3D Blast+" portion of the video's title. Since Tatsuyuki Maeda worked on those two soundtracks, it should not have been unexpected that they would be complementary. — Credits Speculated Composer: Tatsuyuki Maeda Artwork: SEGA, Sonic Team, and Koge-Donbo
