SONIC PICT MIGHTY & KNUCKLES MAYO 2023

“¿Le dejo descansar un poco más?”

Es una tranquila tarde en “Botanic Base”, un lugar lleno de luz y verdor.

Knuckles y los demás disfrutaban de un momentáneo descanso usando las hojas que se deslizaban en la superficie del río como bote.

Tan a gusto que se ha olvidado del paso del tiempo.

Hay que descansar aún cuando estamos muy ocupados.

TITLE: Botanic Base Remix

ARTIST: RogerTH

Different cast, different world, same old green~. Botanic Base is the first level in Knuckles Chaotix, the beginning of the adventure. Here’s an easy listening, world, classical remix of “Midnight Greenhouse”. The entire remix is done in an electronica style, but you might not catch that when you first listen to it. Nothing about this is clear cut.

Download it here.

TITLE: My Rose...

ARTIST: Zone Runners

I’ve been getting requests to share this. I guess I don’t share enough Zone Runners, despite how much I love this group. This comes from their premiere album way back when. It’s a remix of “Midnight Greenhouse”, the theme of Botanic Base from Knuckles Chaotix. It’s hiphop, chiptune, and of course rap vocals. I considered sharing this on Valentines Day, but it didn’t seem fitting. It’s about someone who tries to get close to Amy Rose, but comes up short because she’s obsessed with being with Sonic. Funny, I thought people hated it when fan characters are shipped with canon characters. Guess all that changes when there is an awesome song to enjoy.

No Download Link. Support the Zone Runners and buy a copy of the song here or here.

I would like to conclude my research on Round 2.

In short: the concept of Dubious Depths was probably merged with Tidal Tempest (Good Future), which in turn was developed further in Botanic Base.

Here is what I think: Dubious Depths is a concept of a level with rainbow waterfalls. It evolved into Tidal Tempest (Good Future). Earliest known version of CD Sonic has Salad Plain, which is more like Good Future of Palmtree Panic in final game. It's possible that a certain time period was created for a level and then used in place of another period.

Previously, I mentioned that some people from the development team also helped to make Knuckles Chaotix. And that game shares some similar ideas with CD (also mentioned earlier). Well, they probably thought that there was a nice idea of a zone with plants in special containers and rainbow waterfalls. But it was created partially in form of Tidal Tempest. That's why the team developed it further as Botanic Base.

Concept art with rainbow waterfalls has multiple levels / floors. And that's what Chaotix is known for – vertical exploration.

Hey everyone! Hope your days and evenings have been going swell!

This is an enjoyable, hip little number! I love the padding going on in the background; I can imagine a jazz organ filling that out if this were done with real instruments. The percussion is just another flavor when you compare it to the real rhythm carrier--the funky bass line. It's a bit reminiscent of a slap bass line, and it's very well done! I love the melody in this as well, with all the different sounds going on--I'm especially fond of the bell sounds in the second part of the melody. There's a lot of countermelody and harmony going on, making this a very dense mix for the medium it's on. There is nice form, cool breaks, and a general neat groove that keeps the song moving forward. I'm diggin' it!
