If you follow Pico-8 development, you may have seen BoneVolt's Sonic remake.
We're currently working on squishing as much music as possible into this game, which led me to listen to some music from Sonic 2.
Hoping I could use them in the game, I transcribed the music from Emerald Hill Zone and Chemical Plant Zone (sheet music, Mp3's, and Pico-8 carts are attached!). In the video above, you can compare the originals with my Pico-8 arrangements. (Watch/Listen to the full songs here and here)
I thought there'd be enough room for at least ONE of these tunes in BoneVolt's game, but things will have to be squished even more to accommodate title music, boss music and more. We'll see what happens!
Hope you enjoy!
