Papa’s Got A Brand New Stache then continues where it leaves off, with continual crashes of percussion and bold, in-your-face brass surging the action forward. Malevolent electronics gradually make themselves known as the cue opens, with a dramatic crash of percussion then giving way to a brief reprisal of Robotnik’s theme before the first of the dueling motifs takes the stage loud, ferocious brass starts to play Knuckles’ theme, establishing it in dramatic villainy over the course of the next minute or so with Sonic’s theme then quickly though worrisomely reprising just before the track closes out. Sonic, Meet Knuckles is, as you might expect, where two certain themes collide.
After this the track then slows somewhat, playing a more gradual, gentler rendition of the motif to then finish off the cue. It isn’t very long however before Sonic then leaps right back into traditional rapidity, with the start of A Wachowski Family Special obliging his theme on aggressively fast-paced brass notes. Things then slow right back down for the more solemn, subsequent Sonic’s Home, with the aforementioned character’s theme once again featuring though on much gentler, more sombre strings than before. Action however then becomes the centre of attention in Mind If I Drive, with Sonic’s theme leading the now rather heroic musical charge for much of the annoyingly short track. While it sadly doesn’t stick around for long here (as Sonic’s theme then takes over just as the cue closes out) Knuckles’ theme certainly leaves an impression in this track, and a malevolent one at that.
Moody strings and loudly dramatic, villainous brass then follows suit, shortly revealing a brand new theme for the score Knuckles’ theme. High-pitched, ominous electronics then open Blue Menace, setting quite an unsettling tone for the first minute or so until a burst of almost horror-like brass then shatters the tension, with a rather frantic rendition of Robotnik’s motif racing through on tense, high-pitched vocals. This upbeatness then continues for a minute or two before the orchestra then starts to build in the background, becoming louder and more intense until aggressive brass notes and sinister vocals then completely take over for the final few seconds of the piece, ending the cue on a loudly dramatic note. Robotnik (originating from his first Sonic score) in an unusually hopeful, optimistic mood. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 opens with a rumble of ominous percussion as Piece Of Shitake Planet begins, with light flutters of brass then re-introducing composer Tom Holkenborg’s motif for Dr. While Tom Holkenborg’s second Sonic The Hedgehog score isn’t perfect, it lovingly builds on the first with returning themes for both Sonic and Robotnik as well as expanding on it with new motifs (the dramatically ominous Knuckles for one), altogether delivering a pretty solid sequel soundtrack with many a standout action orchestral moment.
