This game is so nostalgic for me. I fell in love with the visuals the first time I saw a trailer for it when I watched cartoons at the weekend.
I feel like this game gets its planets and visuals so right. The music feels like it fits the environments so perfectly, and I just love the style they went with when designing aquarium park and the main amusement park especially. Just the nighttime atmosphere and dark blue-green colours, along with the lighting, buildings and tropical nature of it all made me feel like I was exploring some classy or expensive resort. The only planet I didn’t really connect with was the asteroid coaster, but that is more my personal preference and I have never really been into that kind of green / brown visual style, which is often associated with horror thematics. It was still fun nonetheless.
The music works, which is what’s important. The main park has an upbeat, action-like sound, the kind of thing we are used to seeing with these types of games, but has its own colourful style to it.
The disco-like music of starlight carnival supplements the rainbow and glittery visuals nicely, with the electronic style.
The brass instruments in the sweet mountain give it a factory / mechanical feel. It feels heavy and thick, like the cake and sugar that surrounds you throughout the levels.
Planet wisp’s piano is slowly replaced with more heavy and “unnatural” sounding instruments, representing how the planet is becoming more of a factory, like sweet mountain.
Aquarium park makes me feel of water rushing through tubes and fountains in an indoor water park at night. I don’t know how to explain it as I’m not that knowledgeable in the art of music but it just does for me.
Asteroid coaster isn’t my favourite, but I can appreciate the rock style of music playing on the more edgy (gothic?), horror and radioactive planet.
All on all, I love this game and it’s music. I may not play it now but it will always be my favourite sega title. Sorry if this took a while to read, I know few people will care but I just wanted to say something about one of my childhood games.

@Daniel G. Productions I in particular beg to differ. I absolutely loved that game and it had a good story line with music that matched its theme.
