Spring Yard uses rings as instrument, Star Light the goal post, and Scrap Brain the death sound (0:34). This game never ceases to amaze me.

A lot of Sonic 1's zones do this actually. Marble Zone uses the spiky chain things in the zone. Spring Yard Zone uses springs as the bass, as it's full of springs. It also uses the ring sound. Star Light Zone uses the goalpost, which makes sense since you can clear the stage really fast. Scrap Brain Zone uses the death sound because it's literally hell and you're gonna be dying there A LOT.

There are so many parts to this tune! You can't even hear a lot of them in the finished product, but it wouldn't be the same without them. My favorite part is actually the PSG 1 channel, but I love how Channel 1 has so many overtones of the Robotnik theme. Really supports the idea that Scrap Brain was supposed to be the badnik factory. Was that Sega's original intent? I thought that was a fandom supposition.

Maybe they were working on drivers that could play more than one sample at once. There are later games that do. Ristar, Mega Turrican and i think James Pond 3 all can. But in this tune they don't play at the time time the snare gets interrupted almost instantly so it probably just gets played slightly before the timpani does.
@Linker2A03 4 жыл бұрын
If you listen closely, the snare is actually playing right before the timpani. The timpani sample cuts off the snare sample prematurely, just enough to give the illusion(for lack of a better word) of both samples playing at the same time, but not so much as to take over the snare completely.
@RWL2012 3 жыл бұрын

@Firestorm2900 2 жыл бұрын
Looking at it, it's really a simple sine wave that they very slightly distort and modulate, then have 2 echo off of 0. It's a bit odd since most times they'll combine multiple waveforms together to modulate and make a sound. I think that's why it sounds so unnatural, because it's so different than what most usually do.
