So, I think I find out why Sonic has only 1 remix so far
The thing is, CD aside(And even that's not entirely safe), Sega actually doesn't own the soundtracks for the classic Sonic platformers.
This was discovered around the time when Sonic was released in Lego Dimensions, they had to use soundalikes for all the levels besides Emerald Coast, when questioned why, a band called Dreams Come True composed Sonic 1 and 2's music and Micheal Jackson had involvement in 3 and Knuckles soundtrack, asides from direct rips, they have to pay every time they use one of these songs.
But that begs the question why we didn't get any remixes from the Modern Games or the Saturn Era, so it might just be a case of Sega being stubborn and dumb.
