Sonic 2 - Aquatic Ruin Zone Arrangement Act 1 + 2

Both of the arrangements were made a few years ago, but I thought it'd be a good idea to share them now. :3 The act 1 arrangement is more of a traditional rendition of the og. The blueprint and the spirit is pretty close to the genesis track with a few additions to give it more "oomph". There's also some new strings and a few new responses to the main melody to keep the arrangement fresh. The act 2 rendition takes quite a few liberties in comparison. The tone is a bit darker and more mystical, as if Sonic were deeper in the forest or the ancient ruins, and perhaps the structures in this act would be more destroyed. The accordion might seem like a weird choice for the lead melody at first but I think it fits the song thematically if you keep its Latin inspiration in mind.
