See I've been looking for a genre to learn about and I've been having some trouble deciding, so I took to some of my early influence, Sonic's music. Sonic's music has always been pretty good. No matter how bad the game was, the soundtrack was at least good. Originally I intended to make a thread based on asking for the genre of Sonic CD's OST. However, I realized that would be just a question and would be a waste of a topic. So why not bring in every game's OST? I've always thought CD's Japanese influence comes from Disco and Funk. Sonic Rush was just full of samples, but I could never figure out what to call it. Honestly, some games with multiple playable characters have multiple genres depending on the levels and characters they correlate to. Anyone else have any idea what they would be?
