One of the weirdest mysteries in the game world was the soundtrack to Sonic 3. Did the music of Sonic 3, which debuted in 1994, be composed by the world-famous artist Michael Jackson? The origins of this debate date back to about 10 years after the game was released. A user who compared Sonic 3 music to Michael Jackson’s work on YouTube, which was very fresh at the time, caught the connection. Sega, which now combines all the old Sonic games under the roof of Sonic Origins, has changed the music of Sonic 3.
Yuji Naka, one of the programmers of the original Sonic 3, said that behind this change,“Oh my god, the Sonic 3 soundtrack has changed. Sega Official has been changed despite using Michael Jackson’s music.” He put an end to the debate that has been going on for years with an official mouth. Yes, Sonic 3’s music was made by Michael Jackson himself. Unfortunately, we will not be able to listen to this music in Sonic Origins.

In 2009, Jackson’s musical director Brad Buxer claimed in 1993 that the veteran artist had been making soundtracks for Sega for four weeks. However, Sega officials never acknowledged this. Even then-Sega America president Tom Kalinske made a bizarre statement that “If Michael Jackson was involved, it was without our knowledge.” Fortunately, this has now been officially confirmed and we can listen to Sonic songs by Michael Jackson with peace of mind.
