Seriously why. Sonic and the Black Knight was the last one and it was also the last time you could beat the final boss to a kickaas buttrock theme song. Why don’t we have this anymore?

This is the wrong answer on the internet, people loooooove the buttrock from the Daytona USA Championship Edition vocalist and Jun Senoue. They have the sauce. Nobody was asking for Shadow the Hedgehog specifically, but Sonic Team went and did it and we should be thankful imo that Sega ever let their mascot engage in such sincere silliness.
People can enjoy whatever media they want; That’s just how I felt living through the releases. It always struck me as odd and felt really out of place as someone that grew up with the Mega Drive/Genesis games.
Valid. Kid me thought Open your Heart was cringe
Adult me thinks it cheesy and good now though
To be fair, that was also the general consensus when the games were actually new, seemed like right around Sonic Heroes a lot of people started having misgivings about the games. It took the ten-year-olds who played it coming of age for the consensus to shift, which makes sense. Been interesting to watch.
I should also note however that Sonic CD had two vocal themes, both of which slap, so y’know.
I honestly didn’t know that about CD. I didn’t know a single soul with the add-on, let alone the game. I only played it once a couple years ago. I genuinely didn’t like it at all. I have forgotten most things about it aside from really not liking the time travel mechanic.
True, most people played it through the Win95 or Gamecube/PS2 rereleases.
In case you didn’t know, there’s a NASCAR arcade game with more of that sweet Crush 40 buttrock.
