Rumors Jackson contributed to sonic the hedgehog 3 date back to the game’s release in 1994, when some players said the songs in the game’s original score sounded like “Smooth Criminal” and “Black or White”.
Jackson had a close relationship with SEGA, creating his own series of games Moonwalker by Michael Jacksonfrom 1988. In 2009, the composer and musical director of Jackson Brad Buxer said that the reason the singer was not credited with sonic the hedgehog 3 was that “he was unhappy with the resulting sound coming out of the console”.
