Wizards of the Sonic is the title to a series of CD and vinyl singles released by the electronic group WestBam between 1994 and 1995. Though remixed and reinterpreted, the core of the track is based on the Dr. Eggman boss theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 originally composed by Masato Nakamura. The song also uses the time travel sound effect from Sonic the Hedgehog CD. The single became a number one hit in Finland.
