USA vs JAPAN: Quartz Quadrant


Quartz Quadrant was a level with convertibles and greenish quartz.

Japanese Versions 


Present

It begins with a mining, working sound that quickly erupts into a positive, cheery one.

Tune: 3/5
Level Relevance: 3/5
General Likability: 3/5
Total: 9/15

Bad Future 

Quick, this version is notable for it's echo-y piano.

Tune: 3/5
Level Relevance: 2/5
General Likability: 4/5
Total: 9/15

Good Future

This version is far more relaxed but keeps up it's beat. Reminds me of Sonic Advance...

Tune: 4/5
Level Relevance: 3/5
General Likability: 5/5
Total: 12/15


American Versions 


Present

Also keeping in line with the "working theme," it has sharp sounds that are aided by an enveloping edgy tune.

Tune: 4/5
Level Relevance: 4/5
General Likability: 3/5
Total: 10/15

Bad Future 

This snaky version bares a resemblance to the others, but seems repressed and desperate.

Tune: 3/5
Level Relevance: 4/5
General Likability: 3/5
Total: 10/15

Good Future

Slow at first, the tune quickly picks up and portrays a happy, almost angelic future. 

Tune: 5/5
Level Relevance: 3/5
General Likability: 5/5
Total: 13/15

Mesh with the past? (Y/N)
Again, a hesitant yes. Luckily the present was intense, otherwise it would be a no.

Conclusions? 


Another win for North America, who is the first to win a complete zone (3/3). Since both were pretty good, it was a narrow win, though.

Winner: USA
