- A playthrough of Sega's 2000 music/rhythm game for the Sega Dreamcast, Samba de Amigo.
This playthrough shows the arcade and original modes played on the hard difficulty level. I showed every song in the game that I could (including DLC) without triggering UA-cam's copyright warnings (so sorry if one of your favorites is missing - I did my best to make it as all-inclusive as I could!). Please do keep in mind that this is the original US version - the Japanese-exclusive update (Samba De Amigo 2000) had a somewhat different list of songs.
3:39 Arcade mode
-The Cup of Life
-La Bamba
9:43 Original mode
-Tubthumping
-Macarena
-Livin' la Vida Loca
16:45 Other songs in the game begin here, all played through on Original mode but with most of the menu screens cut out between stages
-Open Your Heart (from Sonic Adventure)
-Sonic, You Can Do Anything (from Sonic CD)
-Super Sonic Racing (from Sonic R)
-Burning Hearts (from Burning Rangers)
-Dreams Dreams (from Nights into Dreams)
-Magical Sound Shower (from Out Run)
-After Burner (from After Burner)
-Opa Opa (from Fantasy Zone)
-Rent a Hero No. 1 (from Rent a Hero)
I bought this the day it came out for the Dreamcast way back in 2000. I had no idea what it was when I bought it, but the cover was bright and colorful, it was done by Sonic Team, and it was a music game, so I figured I was safe in buying it. It was uncommonly sound judgment for me at 18 years old, I have to say!
The game could be played with the (insanely expensive) maraca controllers (iirc the game and the controllers together were close to $100), but what a fantastic experience it offered. The maracas worked incredibly well without any of the nonsense that the broken Wii-version's controls introduced. The controller worked just fine (and actually makes the game a fair amount easier), but you're shorting yourself a bit on the fun factor if you never try it with the intended controls.
Anyways, this game was one of the major faces of the Dreamcast, and it celebrated just about everything that made Sega just a force back in the 90s. The graphics were excellent on a technical level, and the super loud, bright, spastically ADHD stages looked fantastic and changed dynamically with how well you were playing, and the song list was surprisingly good and long (remember, DVDs were not a thing yet in home video game consoles - even if the DC discs held a gigabyte, that was still fairly limited for stuff like video and high-quality audio), and they were all good. The soundtrack was a mix of famous Latin American songs with some other pop trappings thrown in (alongside the Sega branded tracks that were unlocked week-by-week for free as DLC if you connected to the website through the Dreamcast's 56k modem), and even though many of them are covers instead of the original radio tracks, they all have been done pretty well. I always did wonder, though - why the apparent obsession with Ricky Martin? I know he was popular at the time, but did they expect Livin' la Vida Loca to sell game discs? Funny thought, to be sure.
The gameplay is wicked simple in traditional Sega fashion, and is just hard enough to challenge without become too frustrating. If you have a Dreamcast, this really is a must play. It certainly earned its place alongside the other epic DC exclusives and arcade ports, and is an essential experience for any Sega fan.
Finally, I'd recommend watching this at the 1080p60 option. The original game is only 480p, but the data used for the 1080p setting smooths out most of the compression artifacts UA-cam introduces. Crazy colors, fast moving backgrounds, analog signal artifacts, and lots of red = a nightmare combination to compress well at low bitrates. Red is a just a pain to compress no matter what, since it bleeds so badly with most codecs!

Seeing a Brazilian Mariachi is a surreal experience
It’s basically a mix of Mexican and Brazilians
PLEASE COME TO TACO
There’s no such thing as Brazilian mariachi
I am Brazilian
@@joaoviniciusr.freitas7350 legal👍
One thing Sega will always be known for is fun, unique and addicting titles. This is one of the few rythm based games I liked.
moviemetalhead Nintendo’s true and only rival. I want them to compete again!
Space Channel 5 and Parappa the Rapper are good rhythm games, too
@@dfox6222 had fun with Parappa, but never owned a PS1. Space Channel 5 was hard to get into, imo.
_UnIqUe_
Rhythm Heaven too!
It’s crazy to see how Sega was inventive at the time. All those games look unique and really fun to play.
It’s a shame they don’t make consoles anymore.
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel so true King, get redpilled
agreed
This game was far ahead of its time. Looking back on it, there were a few dreamcast games that offered bizarre yet unique experiences compared to most games of then, that it's almost surprising it didn't last any longer!
killeing ,So true bro.
Way back to the Master System, Sega tried being innovative in the gaming industry in ways other companies weren't. Too bad they didn't have as much insight about what people wanted as Sony did, Sega just threw stuff at the wall and saw what stuck and what fell on their toe.
If they didn't botch the release of the Saturn in North America, they may have had a fighting chance against the PS2 and Xbox, but unfortunately it didn't go that way. It is worth mentioning though that Sega did support Dreamcast developed games up until 2008 in Japan.
Samba de Amigo Party Central is a thing now
@@Sonker_BonkersHell yeah it is

Guess someone thought it was a good idea to stray away from the main topic of the name, right?
Then Rio blowing all the air out of his lungs and into the trumpet.
you gotta credit the people who made it
The narrator sounds drunk
What better for Portugal?
@DeadBread hola amigito, que esta pasando con tu semana.
This explosion of Latin American culture (at least as it was perceived and rendered by Japanese developers) was a pretty epic effort, and Sonic Team totally nailed it. Whether you played it in the arcade or on the Dreamcast, Samba was a true genre classic. Just ignore the duff Wii version.
NintendoComplete haven't seen this game in 5 years!
I tried the Wii version and I was bad at it. I didn't think it was a bad game, I just couldn't get the hang of the gameplay, not matter how many times I play it.
Sega game on Sega arcade console converted for Sega home console = done right and superior.
NintendoComplete u
Apart from the fact the dance and rythm featured in the game has definitely NOTHING to do with samba (I'm from Brazil and Samba is definitely not like this...the thing featured in the game is more like...Caribbean rumba, Caribbean/New Yorker salsa - the songs with a guy in Mexican costumes, especially the hat)...well, yes...seems like a good predecessor to Just Dance...
This was one hell of a rabbit hole to go down at 3:11 in the morning
Wow, I'm actually impresed.
I grow up hearing all these songs and I have never expected hearing them in a video game
Sega really went and mixed Mexico and Brazil in one rhythm game huh
*I’ll take your entire stock*
This could be remastered in switch, but Sega obviously won’t do it, because he only care about sonic
+MauXD24 I think the bigger problem would probably be licenses for the music
I just read an interview and Shun Nakamura said "I really want to make Samba de Amigo on the Switch." and said again "I really, really want to make it!"
Baka Vaca I'd really love to buy it again (seriously) if they made one that worked properly! Even better, I'd love dedicated maracas to go with it. Even if they were only for this game, like on the DC, I'd totally go for it.
Heads up! There’s rumor that Dreamcast games such as this one could be landing on Nintendo Switch soon. Cross your fingers!
Tsumugi more like poomugi
Hearing Living la vida loca in English is a whole different experience than what I grew up with
Bro the version in Shrek 2 is godlike. Idk if its the original or the voice actors singing, but its mad clean
I had a dream that this game had a spin-off. it was a beat em up. It was called The revenge of Amigo. It was cool. The player controls Amigo and must fight trough many waves of opponents. The game's plot is Amigo must save the world of music from Old bad boy. Amigo starts off with 3 lives and full health. The health meter goes down after touching enemies, falling into pits, or invisible mines.
Nintendo?
The final Boss should be bad bunnu
@Big Deo Um, this is a Sega game...
I Wonder how the game over screen is.....
Imagine Amigo maraqueando the living shit out of everyone
8:23 The guy playing the guitar is just chilling while the guy playing the tall bongo-looking things is going crazy
What makes the Samba de Amigo series charming is the incorporation of latin and samba music. I was excited for the reboot thinking it would have the same, but dissappointed to find out most were american pop songs
Its fun to see the 3d models having a stroke
My inner hispanic is dancing to the latin tracks in the game.
@@moe_bara_bltch Brazilian portuguese by definition is not considered hispanic.
For the people who have no idea what Samba de Amigo is, what it is is a rhythm-based game where you have these motion controls in the shape of maracas as well as a sensor bar attached to an included rug where you place your feet where the feet icons are located on the rug, this game is a Sega Dreamcast exclusive (seriously Nintendo what the fudge), the game has you play as this monkey known as Amigo, yeah you're going to have to get used to the Mexican theming, but with that that makes this a very unique entry to the Sega Dreamcast library with its unique visuals, artstyle and fun to handle controls. As you go along with playing the game and it's list of memorable songs-mainly Mexican Pop songs- you will encounter a myriad of unique and fun characters such as Amigo the main monkey, Linda the dancer butterfly, Rio (who's a guy btw) the feminine cat, Bingo and Bongo two teddy bear twins one male one female of course, Chumba and Wamba the cheetah twins, and Amiga the lady monkey (who is a wii exclusive, I guess the wii version counts as a remake tho not a very good one).
And yeah that's Samba de Amigo
Also sorry if I might have offended any latin or spanish or mexican americans.
(You know what fuckit I'm just going to say Mexican alright, sorry if I'm just some big dumb American!)
I just realized: The Persona Dancing games are just Samba de Amigo with persona songs lol
The only reason I remember Samba de Janero was because of playing SEGA tennis superstar for the wii
For me was sonic racing all stars
@@edgaro.8219 me to!
T H I S
16:58 how dare you give me goosebumps
that would be the song i’d least expect to be in here
Monkey flip
12:22 when white moms say gracias to the japanese waitress
I really love the main monkeys design
Same. Cute and blocky and so fun, the Japanese know how to design.
The DNA Test when it says you’re 00.00001% Mexican
Is Brazilian!! Samba is brazilian!
@@GuaraGames.066the costumes and the maracas are definitely not Brazilian at all.
Sega was a pioneer of motion sensors, people don't give them credit
I loved the fishing rod
16:59 not even atleast 10 seconds into the stage, we can already see Wamba going full out with the music. he moves so fast.
In this house we stand for the samba and kneel for Amigo
What incredible nostalgia I got from watching this.
This I get knocked down remix sure is awasome!
7:35 he's vibing
Damn they needa Remake this and Allow it for the Switch Cuz I’m sure it was be really awesome and The Maraca Shaking could easily be used with the two switch Controllers, I’d totally buy it.
Exactly what I’m thinking but Sega hasn’t been on their shit in a while
We’re getting a sequel on the switch!!
@@Darkchao_berserko22 I KNOW BRO, I JUST GOT THE NEWS. IM SO EXCITED :-D🎉
This game has the perfect music
34:47 reminds me of the Japanese singer of the Dragon ball Z theme.
Hironobu Kageyama is his name.
came back here after the direct
who's ready for more?
SEGA/Sonic Team made some of the most weirdest stuff. I miss that about them.
We need more interactive stuff like this in video games.
Well we’re getting a sequel to the game now on switch!
Dreamcast sun is creppier than wii's sun
A game made by a Japanese company
Mixing Mexican and Brazillian cultures
Sung by a German band
And in English language
Edit: and which has Bolivia/Ghana's flag in the pose
Mr. Worldwide! 😎🌎
I remember this thanks dude
This game brings back so many memories from like 2010 and I just loved to play sonic and sega all stars racing and ahhhhhhhhhhhhgsjjeysugwhudidhheuehe I miss those days
If only sonic team racing had more than just sonic characters. If we had more than sonic, we could have characters from past seta racing games
The "Boo" is so funny man omg!
This... Game actually existed?
Until today, the only exposure I had to this game was the cameos in a couple of SEGA games from my childhood. I was half convinced that is was one of those kinds of games that were intensely advertised leading to it coming out, only for it to either bomb and be forgotten about or never being released at all. I had no idea this game went beyond being at the bottom shelf of a consignment store, much less being relevant enough for someone to make a video about it less than eight years ago. I’m even more surprised that this game actually looks good.
SEGA he he

I might have checked this game out back in the day if I knew it had a samba version of Tubthumping.
Dang I would always see this guy in sega all stars racing, I even still play that game ._.
Literally for this game (theres multiple btw tracks for this game) on the track the houses are just bouncing like its nothing, the tunnel is trippy ;-;
Never heard of this game until now but it looks fun
Play this game at the border see what happens
deported
Wtf
So this is where amigo came from
Here is false advertising. In the cover the characters were in 2D but they’re 3D in the actual game
If this was made on VR, I would play this everyday, but Sega doesn’t care about Samba de Amigo, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio and more :( so I think they should remaster this and make it playable on VR!
Well i got good news for you!
Amigo is absolutely jammin in that thumbnail
Nice to see Burning Rangers, a SEGA game made by Sonic Team for the Sega Saturn get some love.
And a banger of an opening song as well
Let’s have a fiesta!!!
James willems from Funhaus told me to watch this.
Why does the sega logo sound like peanutbuttergamer when it comes
why does the penutbuttergamer logo sound like sega when it comes
Happy anniversary to this wacky game and birthday to Amigo🎉🎂🎁🎊
This needs more love
Amazing game! Amazing music! Everything about is just...amazing!
Rating:💖💖💖💖💖
A game with the name of a Brazilian rythm and full of Caribbean and Mexican elements...nice
Made by the Japanese, who else? Lol :)
Es un juego legendario
Does anybody else hear his voice in something like Speedy Gonzalez?
I Love Samba De Amigo 😆
23:37 I didn't even know this song exists but am glad I found out now.
i know that this is a 2p game but couldn't they center the game field in 1p mode instead of leaving it as is?
this is a classic
Hearing "La vida loca" in Engrish is definitely something I wasn't prepared for.
Me when I am talking to all my Mexican friends. By the way if they ever wanted to make a brazilian stereotypes in this game, they seemed unable to make them because a Mexican hat used in this game wouldn't help a lot you know what there is in Brazil... they forgot to add ronaldinho playing with a soccer ball at the background and this game would be way more fantastic
Is it possible to play with regular controllers?
Pretty sure this was one of the very first video games to use gyroscope motion controls... This predates Kirby Tilt n tumble by a year
Actually, this came out the same year as Kirby Tilt N Tumble (in Japan).
@@sega-megadeth1276 But sill, it's true
@@RyneMcKinney They were both pretty innovative. Sorry if I came off as pretentious with my comment.
What a fun soundtrack
1999… the music…
Ricky Martin?!?! Really?!?! This type of stuff always brings me back to a different time.
This game is so dated.
Awesomeness please do more thanks
I really wish I could get this game on my DC
cool songs i love this game
This game is fun
The maracas were designed solely for that game but very fragile.
Presented by Sega, heh heh.
I hope the keep that in some way, shape, or form in "Party Central".
17:00 Eso es asombroso
LoL what 😂😂🤣🤣!!!!
As a fan of Ricky Martin back then, I hated that these were all such bad cover versions without his singing.
i love the video!
Thanks!
A really bizarre title but a fun looking one! Release a new game or remaster with modding compatibility and it would be cool! Imagine your favorite streamer playing through the fire and flames, megalovania, or bad apple in the game!
This is a very interesting idea ooh I hope

SA1 cover pose
It’s funny how I’m watching this on October 15th
and very curious to know that this game was directed by the same Sonic The hedgehog:2006
Obrigado
I have this game on the wii, it’s so good
4:31 1998 FIFA World Cup, France. In 4 days it’ll be the 2022 FIFA World Cup, in Qatar.
musics by an german band, mix of brazil and mexico, from an japanese company.
AMAZING.
This game is so ????, they mixed mexican culture with brazilian, it's almost unbelievable, I hope they made it to show both cultures cause people still think brazilians talk in spanish and this is.... Lmao
why no samba de janeiro
Samba de Amigo.
Los latinos reportense,si quieren :'v
Is this what Meat Beat Mania (the arcade game from Steven universe) was based off of?
Yeah Amigo
0:17
This game has the worst SEGA opening title screen ever 😫
Presented by SeGah HeHe
Another sequel would SELL if Sega tried to make one
Pity Sega is too busy making garbage to put out another one.
Guess what the sequel is gonna be out this summer
i have a japanese import of samba de amigo for the dreamcast which is a lot like samba de amigo ver 2000. it has theme of inoki and mas que nada too. it has some songs from samba de amigo ver 2000 and samba de amigo wii.
