Music is a key part of any movie, setting the tone for whatever is happening at the moment, and that is the case for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. All of the movies so far have had plenty of good music, but Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has the opportunity to add a brilliant song that gamers will enjoy hearing.
There are many reasons why music can enhance a scene, whether it's to suit a specific character or to add some tension to a fight scene. When it comes to movies based on video games, the options are intensified due to the music that people associate with them. That's why Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has the opportunity to add a killer track to ensure the soundtrack is something that people will remember.
Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Should Copy Another Fast Franchise
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 would do well to take a page out of the Fast & Furious franchise.
Sonic Boom Needs To Be Included In Sonic The Hedgehog 4
The song that needs to be featured in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is 'Sonic Boom,' which fans of the character will be familiar with. It's a fantastic track and one that would absolutely suit being part of a movie, as it could easily work in the background and would enhance the overall quality and emotion of a scene. This particular song is the main theme from the US version of Sonic the Hedgehog CD, which was released in 1993 and proved to be a popular platformer.
The video game added a lot of new elements to the franchise in terms of characters and music, and that's why it has a strong place in the hearts of many Sonic fans and would be fitting to be part of the upcoming movie. The song has also been featured in various other video games over the years, meaning there's a good chance that a lot of people have heard it. The fact that it's fast and upbeat is beneficial as it would work great for a chase scene that could grip audiences.
The Timing For This Song Is Ideal
The timing for adding this song into the movie franchise is perfect, considering Metal Sonic was introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. That character's first appearance in the games was Sonic CD. Therefore, it would be a unique moment to link everything together by having the song feature in the next movie in a scene involving Metal Sonic. While the cast of characters isn't confirmed for Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Metal Sonic is likely to be the villain, given the post-credits scene for the last film.
Metal Sonic confronts the titular hero, who is only saved by another surprise cameo in Amy Rose. It created a viral moment and something that fans of the video game franchise were extremely excited about. But it also set things up nicely for a fourth film, proving there is still plenty of story and characters to be tapped into for future movies. The stage was set perfectly for a gripping next film, and given Metal Sonic's history as one of Sonic's greatest enemies, there would be no shortage of tension to build into.
Metal Sonic is also unlike any other character within this universe. Therefore, it would guarantee a fresh approach for the franchise. That's crucial for it to continue expanding and entertaining, and adding a great song like 'Sonic Boom' into the background would only help enhance the villain's presence in the film.
It Would Be A Tribute To Hardcore Sonic The Hedgehog Video Game Fans
Ultimately, casual audiences who have only had brief knowledge of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise will likely not know this song or its history within this universe, although it would still be one that they can enjoy. However, for those who are engrained in everything Sonic, from games, television shows, movies, and music, it would be neat to feature it. The Sonic movie franchise has done a great job at reaching beyond just the hardcore fans, as that's ultimately how three films have been created. However, those who love the video games still remain the core audience as they're the ones who are guaranteed to watch any movie or be involved in anything to do with the character.
This iconic piece of music in the film is guaranteed to get people hyped, which everyone should want to experience. It would be perfectly fitting, considering this song's history with the character of Metal Sonic, which makes it the ideal option. It might be a track created for the video game format, but it lends itself nicely to the movie world. This could be tweaked and enhanced slightly to make it even more appropriate for being in a movie while also paying homage to Sonic's past. It would create a unique scene for old-school fans and would help to make a moment video game fans are guaranteed to love in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
