It’s long been a gaming myth that Michael Jackson wrote music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, sparking long-running rumours as to which parts of the soundtrack he was involved in.
Now, Sonic creator Yuji Naka has confirmed that Michael Jackson did indeed write music for the game.
“Does Sonic Origins Sonic 3 have a different song?” he tweeted out of the blue. “Oh my god, the music for Sonic 3 has changed, even though Sega Official uses Michael Jackson’s music.”
