"Title" is a track originating from Sonic the Hedgehog composed by Masato Nakamura. It plays on the game's title screen.

In Sonic the Hedgehog

"Title" is the first song that plays in Sonic the Hedgehog, on the title screen following the Sega logo and Sega chant. A slightly longer version, titled "All Clear", serves as a reprise of "Title", playing at the end of the game before the staff credits.

It is track 8A in the sound test of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Composition

"Title" is a short, 4 measure song that begins with a 2 beat anacrusis, or pickup.

Nakamura's original demo for the song was featured in the 2011 official soundtrack of the game. It was the 2nd piece composed for Sonic the Hedgehog, after "Green Hill Zone."

Legacy

An arrangement of "Title" was used as the title screen track of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

The opening theme of the 1993 animated television series Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is an instrumental song that combines "Title" with refrains from classical music, including "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg. Another shorter version plays at the start of the "Sonic Says" segment at the end of each episode.

The title screen of Sonic Generations features an extended arrangement of "Title" that includes the extra bars from "All Clear."
