Michael Jackson was involved in many Sonic 3 and Knuckles music , Launch Base , Sandopolis, Sonic 3 ending credits , Knuckles awesome theme in Sonic 3 , the Iconic Ice Cap Zone is also never gonna be in a future Sonic 3 and knuckles port sadly it'll be Sonic 3 and Knuckles with different music a 180 mutilation and if it sounds slightly similar Michael Jackson ?

It's still not completely confirmed that Michael Jackson wrote anything for Sonic 3. If he did, he was uncredited. He does not own the copyrights, and if his estate wanted to sue for them, it would be an uphill battle.

Mostly this. It all depends on who owns the rights to the music. 

All I want is in the 6th gen ports of the game like Gamecube and PS2. Just the modern port not only removed music but all the real locations like KFC, Pizza Hut, Tower Records etc. Best way to play them is sadly emulation versions of the original releases. Same with Jet Set Radio.

It's wierd to me Sonic 3 of all Sonic games has a music issue when the entire 16-bit series has stolen music.
