Back to: Sonic Origins.

Due to legal issues regarding the music in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (which have yet to be resolved), it was announced that Jun Senoue, one of the original Sound Engineers from the original titles, would be replacing the affected tracks with music originally written for Sonic 3 that were unused in the final game. The tracks, affecting Carnival Night Zone, IceCap Zone and Launch Base Zone were present both in the 1997 PC game Sonic & Knuckles Collection and the 1993-11-03 Sonic 3 prototype found back in 2019, however the Origins versions differ, being new implementations from the same source (though made to sound like the original Mega Drive hardware for authenticity).

Other problematic tracks such as Knuckles' theme and the Act 1 boss fight music were replaced with their Sonic & Knuckles counterparts. A dedicated theme for Super Sonic is completely new in Origins (mirroring Sonic 2's Super Sonic theme).
