I'll admit the previous version of this arrangement was rather rushed out, and while the changes made here are small they were necessary to make this arrangement the best it could be.
Changes from the previous version-
The volume of the saw was significantly decreased after the intro to make the PSG more dominant and closer to the lead patch from the original.
The Azure Lake bass was decreased by an octave to make the double bass sound closer to the original.
The volume of the detune PSG was slightly increased to make it more noticeable.
[ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION]
An arrangement of the new Super Sonic theme from the Sonic Origins version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles using instruments from that game and 3D Blast as well as programming techniques utilized by both Masaru Setsumaru and Jun Senoue in the 90s.
This is my proudest arrangement so far, the original also happens to be one of my favourite tracks by Jun. I initially considered having the PSG take the lead alone, but then realised it sounded closer to the patch from the original with the 3DB ending saw layered underneath it. I was also surprised with how well I was able to recreate the double bass combo here.

Sonic 3 Azure Lake bass
Sonic & Knuckles Pinball bonus stage bass

Special thanks to ‪@2004DMP‬ who helped me with some instruments and gave me the idea of the saw + PSG lead combo.
Enjoy!
