If I recall correctly it’s related to licensing issues with the person who composed the original music in Sonic 3. A lot of people see it as evidence of the rumor that Michael Jackson was involved in the Sonic 3 music development.

ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 months agoI don’t know if it’s something that only happened in digital re-releases of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or if it always did this back in the day, since I no longer have a Genesis, but the music is different in the official modern releases of Sonic 3 & Knuckles compared to original Sonic 3. It’s better in 3.

His producer was. We got that answer in the past few years.

Yeah only way to get the original soundtrack is via emulator or an actual cartridge. I think it only pertains to Sonic 3 though. I don’t think part 2 (Sonic & Knuckles) had the same issues
