The Sound Test (サウンドテスト^[1], Saundo Tesuto^?) is a subject that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a feature where the player is able to listen to most music tracks and sound effects from the game.

Overview[]

The Sound Test is an in-game jukebox, commonly containing the game's background music. Less commonly, it might also feature the sound effects and, very rarely, the voice tracks of that game. It can also feature audio that is not heard anywhere else in the game.

In earlier games for the Sega Mega Drive, the Sound Test is a hidden feature and is often integrated with the Level Select, which has to be accessed with a cheat code. In most Sonic games though, the Sound Test is usually unlocked from the start and can be accessed from an options or extras menu. Beginning from Sonic Adventure 2, this feature commonly contains few tracks to listen to; more music can be unlocked as the player progresses through the game.

In the Sega Mega Drive games, the Sound Test can be used to activate other hidden features in actual gameplay akin to cheat codes or reveal hidden content. This comes in the form of playing certain tracks in a specific order; most of such sequences tend to reference various subjects such as dates.

The Sound Test has been formatted differently; in many games in the 1990s, and very rarely in later titles, it lists the tracks using the hexadecimal numerical system (0 to 9, then A to F). In most games released for the Game Boy Advance, the music is listed in the standard, decimal system. In the DA Garden in Sonic the Hedgehog CD, in Knuckles' Chaotix, and almost every mainline game since Sonic Adventure, the music available is listed using unique titles for each to make them easier to remember. Titles such as Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Riders also organize the tracks in different categories, while other games such as Sonic the Hedgehog CD and Shadow the Hedgehog do not do this.

Game appearances[]

Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)[]

In the original Sonic the Hedgehog, the Sound Test is named "Sound Select". It is a hidden feature that is integrated with Level Select. Once in Level Select, the player can press up/down to move the highlighted option in that direction until Sound Select is highlighted. The player can press left or right to change the track and press to play that track.

In Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, a similar feature known as the Juke Box is added, which is unlocked after beating the game with all six Chaos Emeralds collected.

In the 2013 remaster of Sonic the Hedgehog, the Sound Test can be accessed through the Level Select just like the original Mega Drive version. The track list and order has also been altered compared to the original Mega Drive version.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2[]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 features two versions of the Sound Test: one in the Options menu and one which is integrated with the act select menu like in the original Sonic the Hedgehog. It also includes sound effect tracks from Sonic the Hedgehog, some of which were not used in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, as well as Sound Test functions.

While the Sound Test's controls remain identical from Sonic the Hedgehog, the player can now press to change the selected track by sixteen spots forward (10 in base 16).

In the 2013 remaster of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, due to the lack of the original Options menu, the Sound Test is only available through the Level Select. Also, all tracks numbered 20 and higher from the Mega Drive version are omitted from the Sound Test of the 2013 remaster.

The normal, yet hidden Sound Test can be found by using cheat codes, which also includes sound effects and the past tracks.

In the 16-bit version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, the Sound Test is only available in the Korean version, but is hidden in the other versions.^{[citation needed]}

In Sonic Spinball (8-bit), the Sound Test is split into two categories: "Sound FX" and "Music". Both of these can be found by default on the Options menu.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles[]

In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles and the lock-on game Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the Sound Test is a hidden feature that is integrated with Level Select. When available, it will appear underneath the "Competition" option on the title screen.

Sonic Origins remaster[]

In the Sonic Origins remaster of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the Sound Test/Level Select is accessed in the same way as with the original Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Up, Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up.

In Knuckles' Chaotix, the Sound Test is a menu available from the beginning that can be accessed from the Options menu. In this game, it is much different from previous variations. Here, it shows six frequency modulation channels and four programmable sound generator channels, plus a pulse-width modulator. As with previous entries, the Sound Test allows the player to play all of the music tracks and sound effects available in the title. To select a sound, they have to press /, and to play it, they have to press //. Also, pressing or will select the previous or next tenth sound that is highlighted, respectively. Pressing START will take the player back to the title screen.

If the player has a six button pad, they are given some new options. Noticeably, by holding and pressing /, they can choose between a monophonic or stereophonic output. By holding and then pressing /, the player is able to play the sound with a different speed between "01" and "FF", with the former being the slowest speed, the latter the fastest, and "80" being the default speed. If either or is pressed instead, the speed will increase or decrease by ten points respectively.

There is a hidden Easter egg in the Sound Test as well. If the player heads to the Color Test, goes to the left column, and then changes its first three rows' settings to "00 00 00", "06 0B 11" and "00 08 17", Amy Rose will be seen dancing at the bottom right of the screen in the Sound Test with a speech bubble above her saying "Cool, sweet & catchy!". This is present until the console is reset.

Sonic Advance series[]

Sonic Advance[]

In Sonic Advance, the Sound Test is a feature that is unlocked by default from the beginning. The player can access it from the Options menu. The Sound Test itself is a green, checkerbox background with Rings. At the top left corner of the screen is a red star with an orange outline and the text "SOUND TEST" in front of it. At the right, Amy Rose is seen standing on a platform while looking at the player.

The Sound Test features a total of thirty nine tracks, all of which are background music of the game's Zones. The player can scroll through said tracks by pressing left or right on ; to play one, they must press . Pressing once stops the track, and pressing it again takes the player out of the Sound Test. Also, as a minor detail, when music is being played, Amy will dance while holding maracas on her hands.

Sonic Advance 2[]

In Sonic Advance 2, the Sound Test is a feature that is unlocked upon beating XX with two different characters.^[2] Like in Sonic Advance, it can be accessed from the Options menu. This time around, it is featured as a lavender, checkerbox background with white stars. At the top left corner of the screen is a purple circle with a white outline and the text "SOUND TEST" in front of it. At the right, instead of Amy, Cream is seen standing on a platform while looking at the player and playing a timbrel.

A total of sixty three tracks can be played on the Sound Test. The controls in this mode remain the same as in Sonic Advance.

The Sound Test in Sonic Advance 3 features a total of one hundred and twenty three tracks to play; eighty five of them are background music, and the remaining thirty eight are voice clips of the characters.

Trivia[]

• In the original version of the Sound Test in Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic was conceptualized to do breakdancing while his band created for the feature accompanied the music made by Dreams Come True. Due to time constraints, both concepts were scrapped and replaced with the iconic Sega jingle for the game's opening title.^[4]
• In the Sound Test of Sonic Chaos, if the player moves in a forward quarter circle motion (down, down-left and left) and presses or , Sonic can be seen shooting out a sparkling fireball, resembling the Hadoken from the Street Fighter series.^[5]
• In the 2013 remaster of Sonic the Hedgehog, there was a glitch which prevented the player from using the Sound Test feature if they were using touch controls. Touching the play button only advanced the track number by 16 spots (since the tracks are numbered in hexadecimal format) instead of playing the selected track. Using controllers paired with mobile devices however still worked with Sound Test as normal. This was fixed in later versions.
• For some reason, the Sound Test in the Sonic 3 & Knuckles port in Sonic Origins is missing several songs and all of the sound effects.
