While Sonic and Tom are on the run, they make a stop at a roadside bar called the Piston Pit. Robotnik is introduced and at one point can be heard whistling a snippet of Richard Wagner's ' Flight of the Valkyries'. In the film, the song plays as Baby Sonic is racing around on his home planet. Later on, Sonic is living in secret on Earth, and beginning with a scene in where he takes a turtle on a high speed run and leading into a montage of Sonic's daily routine, Queen's classic ' Don't Stop Me Now' plays.
The tune is ' Friends' by Hyper Potions and it is the opening theme for the game, Sonic Mania. The first song heard in Sonic the Hedgehog is definitely one for the fans.
