If you had to associate Michael Jackson with a SEGA Genesis game, most people, would choose this *moonwalker*
However, back in September of 2005, HXC interviewed Roger Hector, ex-director of the Sega technical institute. He found out that Michael Jackson was originally recruted by SEGA to compose the music for Sonic 3. But, he also revealed that after various scandals broke out, michael jackson's music was erased.

So was that it? Was Michael Jackson's music simply replaced?

I don't think it was, and I'll show you why.

---Jam Clip in background---

This similarity between Carnival Night Zone, and Michael Jackson's song "Jam", was noticed by Ben 2K9 before any link between MJ and Sonic 3 was discovered. He actually believed it to be a tribute from Yuji Naka to Michael.

However, now that we know MJ was involved, maybe this could be a leftover track from MJ? It's possible, but we have found another song since then that resembles a Sonic 3 song exactly.


---Sonic 3 credits in background---

This piece of music played at the end of Sonic 3, bears a strong resemblance to the michael jackson song "Stranger In Moscow". This was noticed by Shade and is one of the most solid pieces of evidence that michael jackson worked on Sonic three's music.

The chord pattern and structure is identical. Even in the chorus, two of the chords played are the same as the sonic 3 ones. This revelation led many to believe that the Sonic 3 credits was indeed composed by Michael Jackson.

But our story doesn't end there, in the Sonic and Knuckles collection, some of the music has been replaced.

---Over clips---

All these tracks in the original Sonic 3 have one thing in common, they all use various "Hey" and "Go" type vocal sounds, which is a trademark of Michael Jackson, so some people find it safe to assume all the tracks that feature these sounds were written by MJ, and were replaced due to legal reasons.

People then tried to find similarities between other MJ songs and these replaced tracks. Dioxaz put forward that the song "Who Is It", when sped up, sounds like Ice Cap Zone.

Some people believe that this isn't conclusive, however we can see and hear that the chord progressions are almost identical. These kinds of chord progressions pop up in MJ's music everywhere. For example lets take Smooth Criminal.

And that takes us to the end of the programme. That covers just about everything known about Michael Jackson's involvement in Sonic 3's music.

Entre Sonic et Dragon Ball s'il te plait (Car Dragon Ball Z c'ets l'animé , et l'animé est vraiment a ch*er)
