Greetings, Fellow Human!
After defeating Robotnik at Sylvania Castle, Sonic & Tails find themselves in the snow-barren surroundings of White Park, with snow, Christmas trees, snow, enemies, snow, and bottomless pits (thanks Dimps). Did I mention there was snow?
This is the first Genesis remix I've done that uses the Extended Function of FM 3. The original had a square wave and a sine wave that both played the same notes, however it would've cost me some of the other instruments had I used a channel for each. Given the limited channel space and me wanting to try something new, I decided to try and squeeze the two into a single channel using the magic of Extended FM 3, and it worked a treat, as I was able to fit every part of the original theme in while still having space to add my own personal flair, such as my signature PSG glissandos.
Speaking of PSGs, this is the first time I used them as the main melody of the song, and since the original lead is a square wave, it made perfect sense for this to be the case. I was also able to add my own custom melodies in moments of downtime from the original track, and I think they work a treat.
Speaking of treats (I'm just on a roll with these transitions), I wanted to try and have this remix stand out from the crowd. JX's remix was based off of Sonic 3D Blast's Diamond Dust Zone, so I figured "Why don't I go back even further?" And thus, I decided to draw inspiration from the Sonic 3 Prototype version of Ice Cap Zone, believed to be composed by Tomonori Sawada, even including a similar intro as it. I also drew a bit of inspiration from Masaru Setsumaru's work on Sonic 3 & Knuckles as well as 3D Blast, given he helped arrange many of the songs from the former and even some of Jun Senoue's songs for the latter.
