The game, which includes remastered versions of Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and CD, also features new animated cutscenes, bonus objectives, and more. However, fans aren't happy that the game doesn't contain the original, authentic soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 soundtrack has a [URL='https://www.vg247.com/sonic-3-music-origins-replacement-michael-jackson-history']complicated history[/URL]. It's a well-known piece of video game trivia that Michael Jackson apparently worked on the Sonic 3 soundtrack, which has led to years of speculation over what legal rights Sega may or may not have to rerelease the game with its original music.
