daily knowledge: early versions of Sonic Adventure 2 featured a prototype version of City Escape that had a slightly different melody. this melody was remixed in the Classic version of City Escape that was featured in Sonic Generations.

i didn't know about the prototype version! it's pretty cool. thanks for writing about it!
where does it show up in the sonic generations track? the main change i notice is in the beginning of the second verse, and i think the two tracks sound pretty different there. plus there's always Endless Mine as a possible influence.
thank you for the question!
the melody that begins at 0:24 in the prototype track appears at 2:09 in the generations track.
holy shit, you're right! they did turn the prototype prechorus into a cool synth melody! thanks so much for pointing it out!
