There is a short sample of the Knuckles Theme/Miniboss Theme in the track Blood On The Dance Floor, which was originally produced by MJ and Teddy Riley, with Brad Buxer working on Keyboards and drum programming for the version released as part of the 1997 HIStory album. He was also part of the composition team behind Sonic The Hedgehog 3.
