Miscellaneous

  • Though labeled as the Vocal Collection, a number of songs containing vocals within Sonic Adventure 2 were omitted from the album. This included the body of Knuckles' levels, which featured raps overlaying the music in those areas. As those songs were included in Multi-dimensional, they were most likely omitted simply to adhere to the precedent set up by the Sonic Adventure soundtrack offerings, with the mini-album focusing on the character themes.
