So Buxer is credited for drum programming on Blood on the Dance Floor. I’m not really in on the industry, but depending on how the producers define “drum programming”, it could either be A) Michael telling Buxer what drums to program. or B) Buxer composing it by himself. I have a feeling it’s the latter but I’d like some insight on this from someone else before I proceed in removing Knuckles’ Theme/Sub-Boss Theme from the compositions list. Plus, just from knowing Michael’s beatboxes, this is 100% something he’d do, but could also be Buxer so Iunno.

:So note to self, that whole Sonic 3 section needs some cleanup. Notably, Ending Theme definitely being Jackson, and Knuckles' Theme (+Sub-Boss Theme) being a maybe? Either way needs some fact-checking and expansion, or consolidation into a greater summary and a link to the Sonic Retro S3 Dev/Music page.

==Company fields in infobox, aka “employees”==
 
So this and [[Joe Montana]] were tagged with Company Needed. I don’t know if there’s a field like “Collaborated with” or something, which would be more accurate. Basically yes, I know its weird seeing Michael Jackson listed as a Sega of Japan employee, but he was employed by the company. Just not in the regular sense. But again, a separate bob/infobox for people who collaborated with Sega in notable ways, but weren’t like salaried employees, would be nice. Or some other solution iunno [[User:CartridgeCulture|CartridgeCulture]] ([[User talk:CartridgeCulture|talk]]) 05:17, 23 April 2021 (EDT)

Jackson inserted into AS-1 rides after completion

  • So for this and all relevant articles: MJ was (largely?) inserted into the AS-1 ridefilms after the fact. Which is obvious in retrospect, but it explains why the MJ bits are entirely separate from the real content.
re: this, Hironao Takeda's various blogposts about the development of the AS-1 do specifically mention that Jackson played a complete, localised build of Scramble Training on his December 1992 visit and agreed on the spot to film inserts for the ridefilm afterward
I'm not as certain about Megalopolis, as that seems to have been released later on in 1993 - having said that, clips of it were previewed on British television in late 1992 around the exact same time as MJ's visit, so he probably saw some of that in advance too
