Welcome to Project 3K, a one-off playthrough of Freedom Planet featuring music taken from multiple Sonic The Hedgehog games. A series celebrating the point when I hit 3000 Subscribers.

I was very specific with my choices of music - I avoided things like fan remixes, chiptune (aside from the 1-Up) & different versions/acts of the same theme. I wanted to have different pairs of themes for each stage, even if they may not sound like themes you would normally put together.

Music Choices Explained:

- Chun-nan (Night) -
Since Freedom Planet’s world has heavy East Asian influences, I thought that some of the palace themes should reflect that. Chun-man’s night theme is a calming track that makes the Shang Tu Royal Palace feel cosier than the original theme (though it still works somehow).
- [Sonic OVA clip] -
A golden opportunity to throw this in. I extended the trimmed version of the tv scene & repurposed it for this (the “cooties” dialogue exchange was taken out in favour of just a simple shot of the girls watching the movie in silence in later updates to the game).
- Quartz Quadrant (Bad Future US) -
Will explain when we get to the stage it's associated with (Part 12).
- Resurrection of Mephiles -
It’s a stark contrast to Metallic Madness US. This is a specificity sinister theme that plays at the right moments & is a great way to indicate Brevon’s cold-blooded & manipulative nature. Plus, this was chosen specifically because of a later scene (Part 9)!
- Wrapping It Up -
Just a genuinely good theme to fill this spot, which the original Freedom Planet track was oddly specific about. Meet The Team was only used in this cutscene that lasted less than 3 dialogue boxes, but hey, every theme is treasured!
- Dragon Dance -
a very oriental theme for a clearly oriental stage. I thought of using Dragon Road (Day) at first, but I realised that Dragon Dance works best in a city-at-night theme.
- Aquatic Park: Act 2 -
It sounds like the perfect shopping centre (mall) theme, I don't think it can get any better than this. Granted, Aquatic Park is more Japanese themed as apposed to the Chinese theming of Fortune Night, but the track ultimately still works regardless.
