You can find some midi files for Sonic 2
all over vgmusic.com, in the Genesis section.
Keep in mind that most of them are fan-made and inaccurate to various extents.

wait, so we can't do rock renditions?
it all has to be electronic?
I don't think so. In this case it's just that some parts play way too different, and we're making
enhancements instead of remixes.
It sounds great overall, though. Do you think you could possibly alter those parts that don't follow the original song? The missing part at the very end is
very important to this song, for example.

While ICEknight's concerns are valid, I love the direction that you're taking this ransomrath. As you noted, it's a very early WIP mix, so an in-depth critique will be difficult until you've got all the missing areas filled in.

Also keep in mind that there are VGM to MIDI converters out there; while they all have timing issues (rhythm is off) they can at least give you a decent note-for-note. Some Sonic phone games also have midi soundtracks, which may have been dumped.

fuck, this is
amazing! You have the exact tone I expected to get from this level, and so far nobody else has come anywhere
near how close to how Metropolis should sound in this project than you have. Yes, yes, and more yes—please finish this!
Seriously, this is fantastic! Please finish this.

Or, port from S2, smps2xm and continue from there. But then again, I suck cocks.

Hey Fellas! I JUST started work on a new sonic track, and I think you guys should check out the 2 hr. demo I made of it, and tell me if I'm on the right track for a submission to the project!

(there's some other random ass projects that I've either barely started or lost interest on in there that I've worked on in the past if you even want to bother perusing.
(yes< I know I don't have the pitch bend fill in yet. Don't worry, It'll be there!)
Dear god that is beyond epic ;.;

I posted a few smps2xm conversions earlier in this thread. If they're appreciated I will make more. Though, because of a bug in Mod Plug Tracker's XM to MIDI converter, the resulting midi files are broken. No, don't tell me that they
sound fine, I know that much. They are internally broken.

This is the best thing that you could do to that track.

While I cannot provide a proper detailed analysis on what to improve, it certainly deserves the inclusion for reaching S2HD Standards.
Do continue to improve on it, and the following Sonic The Hedgehog 2 HD releases will feature your name, and music.

I'll also add my voice to the cries of winnage here - this track is really how I'd expect a full-instrument-capability version of Metropolis to sound.

Really, there's nothing to say that everyone else hasn't already said. This just kicks all kinds of ass. If this is seriously just a quick demo, I absolutely can't wait to hear a more refined version.

I like it, it rocks, but it seems like the backing chords aren't quite accurate. It gets more obvious once the lead kicks in.

Yes, I kinda want the correct backing chords. And the thing at the very end before the music loops. But else, it kicks ass!

It's not that the backing chords are
wrong as much as it's the fact that the original backing chords haven't been added yet. If you listen to Teck's MIDI of Metropolis Zone, you'll notice a similar trend where the guitar handles one set of chords while a pad covers the backing chords of the original song. It makes for a much fuller song, and I'm confident that the completed version of rath's track will contain it.
