Mania’s soundtrack also pays respects to other SEGA influences, most prominently the interstellar “Hi Spec Robo Go” – a full paced funk track with jazz licks and a smattering of Naganuma’s Jet Set Radio, one of Lopes’ many acknowledged heroes. One personal favourite composition is the mini boss theme “Danger on the Dancefloor”, a subtle nod to the involvement of a certain late, great King of Pop in both name and style, with percussion and samples that hark back to the first ever miniboss encounter in Sonic. The woodwinds of Press Garden emphasize the eastern theme, while the Wild West jingles of Mirage Saloon are embellished with banjo and olde-timey plinky-plonk piano, jarred back to the present with a periodic turntable scratch. This penchant for detail makes itself known so subtly, down to even the choice of synthesiser voices the muted brass of Studiopolis’ second act sings Sonic CD. There is a fantastic step change between acts the mood lifts, the tempo quickens, and it beautifully accentuates the progression of an adventure – something I’ve seldom felt since Sonic 3. The soundtrack to Studiopolis is a prime example in which Lopes really falls into his stride, and proves not only his ability to write something so recognisably Sonic, but that he has a deep understanding of the architecture that underpins what makes a memorable Sonic melody. The real statement of the soundtrack, however, is made by the original compositions in the new zones. Lopes pays proper homage to the original works, and from time-to-time sneaks in a familiar progression from elsewhere in the Sonic series, mirroring the zone cross-contamination suffusing each stage. Much of the title ventures through familiar territory such as Green Hill and Chemical Plant Zones, for which the compositions in act one have remained on the whole unaltered, only carefully and deliberately mutating in the transition to the second act. Sonically (no pun intended), the broader palette provides a much more embellished backdrop to a much richer visual experience, without the capacity limitations of 90’s hardware. In a perhaps a not-so-obvious move, Lopes has elected to inherit the audio style from Sonic CD, rather than take the chip-tune avenue…and in my opinion rightly so. As such, an obvious direction might have been to follow suite from Knuckles Chaotix and emulate the console’s PCM stereo chip, with chip-tune proving a successful medium for so many modern video games reprising the retro style, such as Shovel Knight. have made it clear that graphically, Mania was intended to be representative of the 32X era. Sonic Mania’s musical direction could have gone in one of two directions from day one, Whitehead et al. Like the majority of the Mania development team, Lopes has climbed the ranks of the fandom, finding his voice in the community over the past decade through remixing Sonic tracks among many others, before joining Pagoda West and composing the soundtrack to indie title Major Magnet. Taking the musical helm for Sonic Mania is Tee Lopes. But how does this compare to it’s 1990’s predecessors?
