Sonic Jump App Series OST Review

Summary

Some Japan-exclusive Sonic apps were created in the 2000s, and some made it to the states. Most recognized Sonic apps, though, were from the 2010s. The "Sonic Jump" series started with a 2005 java version, then there was a sequel, "Sonic Jump 2." In 2012 "Sonic Jump" was later remade and released to a wider audience. Finally, the last version, "Sonic Jump Fever" was made 2 years later. 

I decided to review these all at once. "Sonic Jump 2" seems to reuse music from the first title. The 2012 title faithfully remixes them but with better instruments and a clearer sound. While Fever remixes the zones yet again, they are now more energetic/electronic/2010s-ish.  

Blue Sky Zone would later be remixed for Sonic Dash. 

Best Song: Mechanical Zone (2012)

Runner-Up (s): Main Menu (2005), Green Hill (2005), Mechanical Zone (2005), Title (2012), Cosmic Zone (2012), Boss (2012), Fever Mode (2014), Jungle Zone (2014) 

This has fast, fun energy alongside a guitar that gives it some tension. Could easily be in Riders or something, but it is a pretty short.  

Worst Song: Cosmic/Bonus Zone (2005)

Runner Up (s): Green Hill (2014), Mountain Zone (2014)

Sadly the more primitive side to the 2005 one shows pretty easily with this one. 

 

Final Ranking 2005/2008 Version: E

It's kind of like a combo of the Advance series and a less harsh Sonic 4. Pretty nice but simple and held back by the quality. 

Final Ranking 2012 Version: C

A wondrous (musical) remake of the first game. 

Final Ranking 2014 Version: D

Colors' Syndrome Strikes Again! I don't really like their over-zealous, "modernized" versions. They aren't terrible, but don't have the same charm as the 2012 ones.
