Jackson had a history of going uncredited (or using pseudonyms) in productions, often due to contractual complications. And yet, strangely, several staff members have mentioned the star by name. Jackson's omission was perhaps not surprising, particularly in the early 90s when only the core team of developers usually made it into the credits.

It is not fully understood how much of the soundtrack is owned by the company, having outsourced its production to third-parties, some of which have chosen to distance themselves from the project in later years. The music of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 stands as an ongoing conundrum for Sega due to the choices made during development. Back to: Sonic the Hedgehog 3/Development. ![]()
