More of Mushroom Hill, and Big Arm’s Different Boss Theme
The news tipsters have been busy this weekend combing through new video on Youtube from Gamescom. Unfortunately, we too have been busy, so we’re playing catch up this Monday morning.
The first two videos below are from NintendoWorldReport. The first is a completely playthrough of Mushroom Hill Act 2 from the 3DS edition, with the audio in the clear. As a bonus, the player actually knows what he’s doing.
You’ll note the music indeed is almost one hundred percent identical to the original Mushroom Hill Act 1 theme found in Sonic & Knuckles. What has changed is in the second video, where the boss music has been given a slightly more appropriate change and upgrade from its original roots in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Given its instrumentation, one has to wonder if this may end up in the console counterpart as well.
The third video is more Mushroom Hill, but toward the end where we’ve (hopefully) logged the video to begin, you’ll hear a remixed Mushroom Hill in the clear. Why the classic Act 1 is remixed while Act 2 is not may just be the circumstances of how Sega built the demo; it’s quite a strange occurrence otherwise.
Have a look at all of the video below. Later today we will get you caught up with video from Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. We thank all the tipsters who again flooded our inboxes over the weekend with this video. Don’t be shy–you can still send a news tip if you have something to share.

This game has greatly improved! I’m impressed! And that new Sonic 3 boss battle remix is…..legit!!
Big Arm theme is Epic. I hope they keep improving the game to be far of being a Shit.
Too bad that person kills the Boss too fast, i wanted to hear more of the music:(
It’s quite ironic that we finally want someone to be bad at Sonic so we can hear more of the music.
The game’s quality is certainly better now. The music matches. Of course hopefully the level design of the rest of the levels of the game continue to be good, and hopefully the graphical details around the game continue to get better. I saw some footage of Green Hill Zone for the 3DS which looked absolutely amazing (the backgrounds are now full of mountain and waterfalls, and there are no more frame rate issues) but I saw a glitch where Sonic went through the floor (I also saw a similar glitch in Mushroom Hill Zone). These glitches need to be fixed (in all levels) before the final game is released, and I have a good feeling they will be fixed because I had seen Sonic fall through floors in pre release versions of Sonic Colours, Sonic 4, even Genesis games like Sonic 2 Beta, but they were all fixed in the final games, so I think the same will happen here.
Also about Sonic’s end pose in the big arm boss fight: I think that someone is quite the little show off. LOL.
Heh, third video, “Get the f**k out of my way, you stupid mechabutterfly thing!!”
But seriously, it’s good to see that Generations 3DS is improving a lot. And those remixes are just DOPE!!
Seeing Big Arm’s music changed to its original roots reassures me that the Mushroom Hill Act 2 theme as of now is temporary. I’m sure we’ll get a full Modern mix of it by the final release.
Also, got word from the Sonic Stadium that Alex Mahklouf of Cash Cash, as you also may know being the one who remixed “Escape from the City” to a Classic form for the Xbox360/PS3 version, actually remade the Big Arm theme.
…Sega, keep these guys.
Gah, great. Now I have to get both versions of the game to play the different levels. I hated the way the 3DS one was looking at first, but it’s starting to look more polished now.
@AM:
No worries, it’s been said that the gamescom demos were made from an old, 70% complete build of both versions of the game. Iizuka recently stated in a Famitsu interview that the 360/PS3 version of the game is about 95% complete.
Almost one hundred percent identical–they combined the Act 1 and Act 2 themes. For instance, they have the intro for the Act 1 song but the supporting melodies in Act 2 in some places.
final boss theme=EPIC!
This game looks good enough to me for it not to be a regrettable purchase to me…which is always a plus in my books…..
I was there:P the game is fine. but I love the xbox 360 version way more
oh my god it looks like they’re trying now
obviously the game is more promising than what we first saw in the early video of green hill zone ^^ physics look correct, graphics look better. Hope the 3D effect willbe cool too ^^ only little things that bother me a bit, the boss fight seems too short/easy, and mushroom hill seems too “classic” ( looks like a copy of theold one, but the piece of the puzzle are put together in a different way ^^ ) anyway, i want it ^^ i m curious about the other levels that would be in this version ^^
Looks very good so far!
This game’s graphics look really good for a handheld. I think I’ll get this game after all. The levels are looking better as well.
Ergebnisse!
AT ANY RATE, it’s looking better! That final boss remix sent chills down my spine. This probably means that remixes for Modern Mushroom Hill ARE on the way, but werent put in the demo build.. or something. IDK. still getting the game.
If Dimps keeps giving a damn about this game, I might as well buy the 3DS version as well as the PS3 version.
The 3DS version is finally starting to look decent.

HOLY SHIT!! :O
Wow, I’ve never seen a 3DS game actually record on video properly (except a few Zelda ones). If this is any indication, I’m going to be really REALLY happy with the graphics of this game. Let’s hope I can say the same about the gameplay or it’ll all be for naught.
THAT BIG ARM SONG ahhhhh the memories of that song….soo ahhhh lol. Must have MP3 lol….I was looking for a good remix of it and here it is….there have been a few others I liked too so let me give credit to those too cause yes they were awesome too….
