Sonic - You Can Do Anything

"Sonic - You Can Do Anything", also known as "Toot Toot Sonic Warrior", is the opening theme from the Japanese and PAL versions of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. It was replaced by the song "Sonic Boom" when it was released in America and parts of Europe.

"Sonic - You Can Do Anything" was composed and produced by Masafumi Ogata and performed by Keiko Utoku with additional vocals by Casey Rankin (who also wrote the song's lyrics).

It was remixed from the Green Hills Zone theme in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and was remixed again into the theme for Mecha Green Hill Zone from Sonic Chaos.

Trivia

 * The 8-bit variation of the song can be heard at Green Hills Zone in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, in Mecha Green Hill Zone in Sonic Chaos and as the invincibility theme at Sonic Drift.
 * This song was originally planned to be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but did not make it into the final game. Likely, though speculation to some fans, it was replaced with the more popular Sonic Boom theme from the same game.
 * This song was remixed for the stage Ocean View in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
 * This song was performed in one take.
 * The Game Over music from the Japanese and European versions of Sonic CD appears to be a heavily distored and eerie portion of this song.
