"Sunset Heights (Alpha Mix) - Sonic Forces" is a high quality rip of the alpha mix of "Sunset Heights" from Sonic Forces.

Jokes

At 0:11, "Astronaut in the Ocean", is poorly mashed up with the advertised track, in reference to this TikTok trend. The advertised track's leading melody is edited to also be off-key and out of sync. From 1:24 to 1:44, multiple instances of "Astronaut in the Ocean"'s vocals and the advertised track's melody are layered on top of each other. At 1:45, the melody briefly changes to "Reach for the Stars" from Sonic Colors (Wii).

At 2:04, a pitched up "Yankin" can be heard just before the rip ends.

Trivia

• The track title and credited author reference Sonic Colors Ultimate and its developer Blind Squirrel Games, respectively. In the context of this rip, this is likely a nod to the remake's numerous bugs and graphical issues at launch.
