The Groovies is not a competition; it is a recognition of the people that we feel are shaping VGM for the better. Each one of these artists adds something unique and irreplaceable to the video game music community, and for that reason, they deserve our support.

Like Sonic the Hedgehog, Needlemouse Mania packs a lot of attitude in a relatively small package (only 10 tracks). This album spans over 25 years of Sonic music with genres ranging from electro house to Neo Arcade to funk.
