Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is a video game developed and published by Sega on Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive in 1990. As the title suggests, the game mainly features arrangements of Michael Jackson's music, arranged by Hiroshi Kubota and Takayuki Nakamura.

On SiIvaGunner, this playlist is often used to post rips of fake tracks named after Michael Jackson songs that are not actually in the game. Typically, the rip is just an arrangement of the song as if it were in the game.

Sonic 3 composers joke

Almost every rip of this game, with the sole exception of "Mr. Big", lists the composers as "Brad Buxer, Cirocco Jones, Bobby Brooks, Darryl Ross, Geoff Grace, Doug Grigsby, Sachio Ogawa, Tatsuyuki Maeda, Tomonori Sawada, Masayuki Nagao, Miyoko Takaoka, Masanori Hikichi, Jun Senoue, Howard Drossin". This is actually the list of composers for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles with the exception of Michael Jackson, as a reversal of the Sonic 3 playlist's joke, where the entire soundtrack is credited solely to Michael Jackson.

Previously, some rips of this game credited a partial list of Sonic 3 composers ("Brad Buxer, Cirocco Jones, Bobby Brooks, Darryl Ross, Geoff Grace, Doug Grigsby, Sachio Ogawa, Tatsuyuki Maeda, Jun Senoue"), mainly rips that were of arrangements that weren't in the actual game, while others credited Michael Jackson. In early 2022, the rip descriptions were changed to consistently use the Sonic 3 composers.

Notes

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 ^1.3 ^1.4 ^1.5 ^1.6 ^1.7 ^1.8 The metadata is fabricated, as there is no such track in the actual game.
↑ "Thriller" is also not actually in the game; however, it was planned to be and its arrangement was found in a prototype.
