His World, the theme of Sonic 06, is unique as there are three versions (actually there are instrumental versions, too, but...). Zebrahead remade the song at a faster pace and "Sonic" band Crush 40 also covered it.
Original Version
The song starts atmospheric and settles into a rap about Sonic. The chorus goes on to describe "his world." The song highlights what makes Sonic unique and leads into an epic guitar solo.
Zebrahead Version
An intense, fast version that combines different genres for an edgy unique sound. It's focus on speed and building momentum from beginning to end is awesome.
Crush 40 version
Though slower than the other versions, the song is fantastic. The vocals are strong and carry a different feeling than that of the other two, more like an emphasis on Sonic's world and 06 as a whole rather than just Sonic.
Winner: Cover(s) I don't think I could choose between either of the covers. They're too dang good. I guess I'd say the Zebrahead one is better for Sonic, and the Crush 40 one better for the 06/the Sonic series.
While the original was good, it doesn't come close to either of the covers.
