VGM original: Sonic the hedgehog 4 - Splash hill zone (Act 1)

VGM: Sonic the hedgehog 4: Spring hill zone (Act 1)
Sega's Sonic the hedgehog 4 has taken a much preferred turn towards the Mega Drive classics of the 90's. But this has not only been in regards to the gameplay, but the music too! No Sonic rush Breakbeat funk or Sonic adventure 2 punk rock here. Just old skool 16-bit beats.

This shit makes me wanna go skip through a park and have a water fight with friends, all the while stowing a pet hedgehog in my man bag. It's so damn light, fun and upbeat! If it was any more so, I'd be throwing up Butterflies and shitting Skittles.

"Splash hill zone" is not as classic sounding as "Green hill zone", as funky as "Palmtree panic zone" or as super cool as "Escape from the city", but it's cool and nostalgic, and I love it. Sega continually mess up with the gameplay where Sonic games are concerned, but graphics and music are the 2 things they continue to get right every time. And it looks and sounds like Sonic the hedgehog 4 is no different. Let's hope it's not the same ol', same ol' with the broken gameplay.

The 'act 1' in the song title implies that we may get different music's per act. I'm down for that. The more versions of "Splash hill zone" the better!
