30-year fan theory confirmed as Sonic creator reveals Michael Jackson composed for the series
And just like that, Sonic creator Yuji Naka has casually confirmed on Twitter that Michael Jackson worked on the Sonic 3 soundtrack.
Somewhat out of the blue, the industry veteran took to social media to query Sonic Origins' soundtrack before confirming a long-standing rumour. "Does Sonic Origins Sonic 3 have a different song?" Naka tweets (opens in new tab). "Oh my god, the music for Sonic 3 has changed, even though Sega Official uses Michael Jackson's music." Naka follows up the tweets with an old picture he took with a camera while flying in Jackson's helicopter to visit his house.
Clearly feeling a pinch of nostalgia, he has also shared some vintage snaps of a Pontiac Fiero and Chevrolet Lumina he drove while creating Sonic in San Francisco.
