Final Boss - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (removed)

"Final Boss - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles" was a low quality rip of "Final Boss" from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles.
== Jokes ==
At 0:18, the visuals fade to black as the advertised track abruptly dies down with Bender from Futurama saying "Bam it again, Elzar. Knock it up another notch!". Afterwards, it switches to a poor midislap of "Roundabout" by Yes using a Sega Genesis soundfont, as the visuals show a distorted thumbnail changing to one in the style of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure logo referencing the use of "Roundabout" in the show. At 5:48, right on the last few notes, a "To Be Continued" arrow used in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure appears along with the image going grayscale.

This rip was uploaded on June 23, 2016.Wayback MachineTweet by @GiIvaSunner.
It was removed by SiIvaGunner, sometime after August 8, 2016 and before August 22, 2016.Wayback Machine showing the rip as already removed. According to Solid STRGG, the rip was removed due to backroom didn't like how it was a midislap."lol I made this rip, the reason why it got deleted was bc it was a straight midislap and a good chunk of backroom didn’t appreciate it being there. I understood them taking it out bc I personally felt I should’ve put actual effort into it instead of a straight midislap, really embarrassing in my part." - Comment by @strggarchive Later, in a Reddit AMA, Chaze the Chat elaborated on the reasons behind this rip's removal.Reddit comment 1: It was a midi slap with an inaccurate Genesis soundfont that we didn't expect anyone to actually like so we removed it and then the backlash was big but we didn't bring it back because epic jojokesReddit comment 2: it was bad so really no it's not a lame reasonReddit comment 3: Are you telling me, the creator of the channel, that we didn't have a group of quality control to screen every submission we had to make sure it was good enough for the channel? We put a lot of work into making sure every single one of our rips was something that we were proud of uploading, and if we ever took something down, it was something we felt lowered the overall quality of the channel.Reddit comment 4: You're missing the point. Everything we uploaded, whether it was a quick joke or something that took a ton effort, we were happy with. Yes, that includes the beans. Yes, that includes the kazoo rips. Everything we uploaded was something we could look at and say "yes, this deserves to be on the channel." However, the roundabout one was different: none of the backroom liked it. Whenever we took down a rip, it was done so specifically because we did not think it deserved to be up on the channel and it wouldn't have been put on the channel if we would have looked at it. It's not about "how much effort was put into it" like you're saying I said, it's about how it sounds. I've heard rips with little effort into it sound amazing or rips with a ton of effort put into them sound slightly off, and that's okay. The problem here is we as a group personally believed it did not deserve to be on the channel, and I stand (epic jojoke!!!) by that decision. This was confirmed by Solid STRGG himselfReddit comment: I stand behind this man, also I'm the one who created the Sonic 3 Final Boss rip.
Although it was removed from the channel, this rip became the bonus track on the album JOEJOE'S BIZZAERE JOJOKE, albeit without the bait-and-switch introduction at the beginning.
