Alright, a little context first. Yesterday, when I headed to my 1st period (Which was Intermediate Band), I was still listening to my music. One of my friend-girls wanted to listen what I was listening to. I gave her one of my earbuds, and after immediately thought of "Sonic," even though I did not say what song it was. Those songs were Acts 1 and 3 of Cyan City for Sonic: After the Sequel.
Tea with Ellie (Act 1):
Espresso with Bayonetta (Act 3):
Shout out to the people who made the game, the music, and those awesome names for the music. Anyways, I asked how did my friend-girl knew about how these songs were from Sonic, and she said "It just sounded like a Sonic song."
So my question is this: What qualifies as a "Sonic song"? More specifically, what would emulate the certain "Feel" when playing a Sonic game? Is it the instruments, or the atmosphere that the Sonic series always seem to have?
