Something to potentially look into, as I would be curious as to the actual cause in the first place. A great video.

    I've had something similar happen to me, basically Rev01 gives you an extra life after achieving 50000 points but only if the region is set to JP. My guess is something got overwritten to the RAM address it saves the next threshhold and gives you a life prematurely.

    I'm late, but it might be caused by using an incorrect sound command, just like Sonic 2 does with the Continues code (the one in the sound test), as it causes Oil Ocean to play indefinitely, similar to this.

    (4:08) I don't claim to be any sort of expert on the Genesis/Mega Drive, but I have a theory for you. In vanilla Sonic 1 the one up theme plays on the sound effect channel if I understand correctly. Maybe this glitch is causing Green Hill Zone to be played on the sound effect channel in its place, thereby overriding all the other SFX and music. The song never encounters a flag telling it to stop since it's playing on the wrong channel, so it keeps looping forever.

    How did i guess this was going to be Sonic.exe? Also I think that green hill zone music bug is basically a sound driver crash or communication error. It's an issue that mainly only occurs with Sonic 2, 3 and SK and it's when the sound driver enters an error state and stops accepting commands and basically gets stuck playing whatever sound or music track until it's reloaded but it rarely occurs in sonic 1 because normally when Sonic 1's sound driver breaks or glitches out the entire game crashes. You can see an example of this issue in the original sonic 2 when you enter the continue cheat on the level select or by playing certain sounds that are invalid or empty in the sound test.

    This has probably been said already, but the music and life bugs likely stem from the disassembly. I dabbled a bit with hacking Sonic 1, and the disassembly I used had code that enabled stuff like the 50,000 point lives only if the region is set to Japan. I think it wouldn't even be an issue if the region-based code was removed or edited.
