I've noticed the Mega Man composition contests have been on for quite a while, but I wanted to address something related to this —
Some of you may remember that there were MPC contests where we had to remake existing songs, and the best remake would win. The last one I ever saw on YT was Rainbow Road. Whatever happened to that?

Yeah, those kinds of contests used to be the dominant style. They lost popularity, though, because a couple of new contest styles took off. First one gave participants a choice of four songs to make an MPC of (some of us refer to this as Levus-style as he was the one who introduced this style, iirc). The other style that took off a little later is the current dominant format, open-ended themed contests (i.e. the Mega Man contests). If I'm not mistaken, I was the one who introduced that style with the first round of the Mega Man contest a long time ago (correct me if I'm wrong). It's this format that gave rise to stuff like the OC contest and Piano SF contest, iirc.
tl:dr, I don't think the old style is gonna come back anytime soon, if at all, because of the current dominant style.

Speaking of contests, I'm gonna start a new one for Castlevania music. Since I have no time to MPC apart from filler/troll vids, I might as well start a contest.

Having a contest based on a single song, or even 4 individual songs is too narrow anymore. Someone would have to be interested in that particular song to enter. Take the MPC Tournament Ninja had tried to host for an example. It was a great idea, and posed potential for a lot of fun, but unfortunately once interest in a song had expired, so did a person's interest in the tournament.
Contests like the OC contest or the Mega Man one (yessss, I know... I'm getting on that. xD) are way more open ended, posing a greater possibility for someone to find a song or think of one they want to do.

Speaking of Contests.... Is there a Sonic the Hedgehog one floating around or anything of the sort?
If there isn't a Sonic one floating around, would it be ok if I were to make one? :3

Well, if you so decide to make a contest on Sonic, I don't think anyone's stopping you - conversely it might be well appreciated.

There used to be one, but it ended up fading away lol. Savvn was in charge of it last about a year and a half ago. You can try to contact him if you wish, or you can just start one up yourself :-P

He never uploaded results and all the votes are in the comments, so yeah, haha. The results look to be as such: EsojestMort - Ice Cap Zone Act 1 - 14Matmax - Sonic 3 Intro - 12Torjuz1337 - Lava Reef Zone Act 1 - 8Volcan - Sonic Spinball - 7Matmax - Sonic CD Title - 1That's all the ones that actually got votes, so I guess EsojestMort won... Should I ask him if its ok too?

Should I ask him if its ok too? Asking Eso for permission would probably be a nice courtesy. You can see what he says and then go from there :-P Though I wouldn't be surprised if he lets you do it since that contest round was from two Decembers ago lol.
