Music and More as a part of Today’s Release
Today’s major release of new information on the Sonic 4 website revolves centrally around the game’s first stage, Splash Hill Zone.
Even the website design now resembles the tropical paradise Sonic will first encounter–a perfect way to open up the zones section.
Within that area, you’ll see the first official description of Splash Hill, with the added promise that video is coming:
A beautiful coastal area filled with rolling hills and an everlasting feeling of summer, Splash Hill Zone is the embodiment of an adventurous paradise. As Sonic races through the smooth slopes and crisp rivers, he will also witness a spectacular sunset view from the top of the hills.
In addition, Sega released for download the music for Act 1 of Splash Hill, which we have in streaming form at the end of this article.
Given the recent rash of leaks, hoaxes posing as leaks, written accounts, and other unauthorized material, an official weekly update like this will hopefully set the standard for the future, with it becoming the rule and not the exception. That is to be determined, and we’re here following along with you with each passing week, hoping to know more.

Love the music, it does have a tropical feel to it. The best part is that it’s very reminiscent of the Genesis games. But for some odd reason, it reminds me of Sonic Heroes a little bit, I dunno why.
It definitely does have that classic genesis feel. It doesn’t feel like a Sonic beat somehow to me though.
The song trys to hard to be retro. It really sounds average.
0:08-0:11 sounds exactly like a Sonic Heroes track, but I can’t put my finger on it…
Horrible music.
That is all.
I like it enough, though the instruments sound too synthy.
Sounds great! Love it!
The music sucks… that is all.
Great music. Had that genesis feel to it.
It’s okay i thought it was going to be rmeixes of classical sonic stage songs like sonic advance 3 sunset hill zone.
Sonic hero-ish….
Hm.. sounds pretty good to me
SEE? After all those fans complaining about “mediocre games but with great music”, now here’s your “(seemingly) great game but with mediocre music”. Now THAT’s what you want?
Don’t know why, but this song reminds me of Jamaica by George Benson and Earl Klugh. Can’t wait to play Sonic 4! =)
I don’t see why people are saying it’s horrible. It’s fine, just not great.
I love the music totally feels like a Sonic Genesis theme
Yeah it’s alright. It’s not something I’d immediately put on an mp3 player, but it’s something I can play to.
“Everlasting feel of summer” … I love that description!
The music suits the stage and it’s really not bad. It’s well put together.
I wonder how the other music sounds like.
“Yeah it’s alright. It’s not something I’d immediately put on an mp3 player, but it’s something I can play to.”
^that one right there^
I think the music is pretty cool.
It sounds more like an introduction / title sequence. Doesn’t sound like a stage.
Cool, sounds like the sort of thing a Splash Hill Zone should sound like, bright, bubble and happy.
sonic 4 is awesome and so’s everything else onn it for now lol. end of it ^_^! Cant wait….
Well, sometimes I have to hear the music while playing a level to see/hear if the music is good. When I play splash hill zone sometime in the future…well then I will decide if this is good or not.XD
Nostalgia Goggles are on now, god damn this game will be a master piece
god, if i have to wait much longer, i’ll die over tentsion
I like the music… Complainers!
The music sucks… It doesnt have the class of sonic 1, 2 or 3. I dont understand why they used the sounds of sega genesis to make the new soundtrack… It doesnt make sense to me. Why not do something like sonic CD instead? It’s sonic music at its best…. Fuck SEGA, can’t you do anything right anymore?.
WHAT WHAT…WHAT!
WHY PEOPLE WHY!!!
This music is SO retro, happy, cool & have the spirit, maybe is not the full full full version, but is so EPIC like Green Hill, Emerald Hill, Angel Island WHY your dissapointment =_=!!!
and this is obvious a cool ringtone 0_0 too
Nakamura, Jun & Ohtani…they have the spirit of sonic music
thanks for sonic 1,2,3 &Knuckles / Heroes / Unleashed / and now sonic 4.
the MOST epic OST. and this is all.
TRUE music of sonic
This is looking more promising as more official info becomes available…
The music sounds great.
