>Music using the "The Ultimate Megadrive Soundfont"
>Actual Genesis/Mega Drive music
Found this goldie on Soundcloud. It's the river stage song from Marvel vs Capcom 2. Says a lot about the music in Sonic 3 being pretty much Jazz, more specifically Hydrocity Zone and maybe Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic 2.

Personal favorite because it pretty much sets the game up as a fast paced chooter.

I don't know if you guys knew this, but Battletoads and Double Dragon theme rips off Duran Duran's Girls on Film.
Comparison:

Sorry if this is common knowledge, just wanted to share
Who can forget the music from this underlooked gem?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxP0n7h_914
This is not exactly a game music, but it's the music that plays in the menu of Mega Drive III with 30 games in-memory.
I had one as a child and this music almost brings a tear to my eye.

new info for me. this kind of stuff is actually intriguing because there's various examples of borderline plagiarism both from and in video games. I have one but it's not for this thread.Basically Crank That by Soulja Boy is just swapped lyrics and rearrangement of the instruments from Daikenkai by DES-ROW.

Some more examples for you, alas not for Genesis:
Megaman 1: Elecman's theme copies Journey https://youtu.be/nTU08jmkAmE
Megaman X3: Guns N' Roses ripoff https://youtu.be/hGk2K_TaP5U
Street Fighter II: Ken's stage (USA) theme intro sounds exactly like Cheap Trick song from Top Gun https://youtu.be/v9tvzw3E5tw
King of Fighters '98 intro directly rips off Aerosmith's Walk This Way: https://youtu.be/_cpru7oUjGM
https://youtu.be/5UFFa1HbFfA
>>3436141
For the Ken theme, I wonder if some kind of settlement was made or nobody said a thing because it's still used as his theme in nearly every game he's in.
>>3436179
Now I wonder about this too. A lot of the time these settlements are taken out of court. I guess they could also just cut the intro, after it the tune is different
>>3435990
that's pretty disappointing/shit for a sega track
>>3435630
Double Dragon II's second stage rips off Easy Lover.
It got to the point where when they released an arrange album for Double Dragon II, they pretty much just remade Easy Lover.

Was not prepared for that. Could easily imagine some thrash guitar taking some cracks at that song. Good stuff!

Mm. This rip of Launch Base seems to have the DACs and voice samples at a slightly higher pitch. Weird.

how do i rip music from a rom?
>>3437210
Superb taste, anon.

>Says a lot about the music in Sonic 3 being pretty much Jazz
No it doesn't. Doing a Reba McIntire cover using the Genesis soundfont wouldn't magically reveal that Sonic's a lot of country, either.
>>3436141
"This was beleived to be because the team that worked on Megaman were huge Guns N' Roses fans. The references carried on to Megaman X5, where the bosses were named after Guns N' Roses members"
Yes, in English only, by a completely separate group of people. Whatever the similarities between the music may be, that doesn't excuse this bullshit.
>>3436935
The arrangement is a brazen "remake," but the original song doesn't really sound like Easy Lover.
For a lot of these, calling them "ripoffs" is reaching.
