The inspiration for this song came from the Super Soul Bros album "Fireball", which has been the music playing in my car for a few weeks now. If you're not familiar with them already, they're a video game cover band who perform funky renditions of video game music, similar to what I do! Their rendition of Aquatic Ruin Zone is one of my favorite tunes of theirs, and I decided I'd give it my own spin! I took inspiration from a track called "Caribe" by Michel Camilo, which was brought to my attention by one of my teachers at Berklee, and Hiromi Uehara's trio!

I haven't played Sonic 2 quite yet, as I just finished playing Breath of the Wild (amazing experience), and am currently finishing Sonic 1! Gotta say, not a fan of Sonic 1's controls so far, feels pretty sluggish to me. I've got high hopes for Sonic 2, though!

One video that helped me a lot in the production of this arrangement was jazztutorial's Salsa jazz piano video (   • How To Play Salsa Jazz Piano Montunos  ). I was watching this video while waiting for a doctor's appointment, and I got the idea to use a piano montuno in this arrangement. It was a ton of fun to delve further into salsa piano!

I make jazz covers & remixes of video game music every other Saturday at 12:30 PM EST on my channel! My channel combines my loves of jazz and video game music, creating covers and remixes you'll enjoy.
