Sonic 1 Special stage


The Sonic 1 Special stage by Sega is a fast-paced and energetic track that is originally in the key of E major. It was composed by Masato Nakamura for the video game Sonic the Hedgehog, released in 1991. The music perfectly captures the excitement of the special stages in the game where players can collect Chaos Emeralds. One interesting fact about this track is that it is often associated with speedrunning, as players strive to complete the special stages as quickly as possible. The melody of the song is catchy and upbeat, with a driving rhythm and memorable synthesizer melodies.
