These Genesis Era Sonic Tracks will Give you Instant Nostalgia

Casino Night Zone, Sonic 2

The brassy melody and walking bass are a perfect combination to snap your fingers to (assuming you have a free hand whilst traversing various brightly lit slot machines and flinging Sonic from one end of the screen to the other via pinball flippers). There’s a swanky jazz feel to the track that just screams VEGAS BABY! Okay, not literally, but you get the idea.

Ice Cap Zone (Act 1), Sonic 3 (& Knuckles)

This bass heavy track is a fan favorite (possibly because of the association it and a couple of other tracks from this game have to Michael Jackson). There are a few light chimes in the loop that mesh nicely with the icy theme in this level, and if you’re playing as Sonic, you get that sweet snowboarding sequence at the beginning.
