Sonic R - Can you feel the sunshine x Stevie Wonder - My Cherie Amour. Same chord progressions, same note. Also has the arpeggio from Marble Zone at 0:54.
Jun Senoue was sampling some red hot fucking fire. Super Cat - Ghetto Red Hot (Hip Hop Remix) Sonic Adventure - Red Hot Skull (Red Mountain) Just sample 4:11 to 4:15 and you too can add some red hot fire into your songs. Good fucking songs all around.
I love this thread, I wish I had seen it sooner... I've been making a playlist with a similar concept, although not all of these are soundalikes. Still, you may enjoy! And you may also notice toward the bottom/recent entries, I've added ideas generated from this thread. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/03xiwdc0jlLTyzY6OOaVpR?si=151e08128e024148
