Btw Emi mentioned she was a bit ill before this one but what she didn’t mention is she had also been looking after her husband, me, hi, hello, Who was stuck in bed for like 2 days with a really bad fever So yeah any support on this vid is much appreciated as we were both very tired getting this across the line 😂
Metallic Madness Zone Act 2 actually DOES have full lyrics for that rap bit; it's an in-character rap by Dr. Eggman! (I believe the vocals were recorded by Tee Lopes, the main musician behind both the original songs and arrangements in Mania, but I could be wrong.) "I'm an evil doctor with a rad genius and bad minions, to help me sink the planet into my dominion A baddie with an I.Q. like you've never seen I'm the meanest, vilest villain that's ever been on your screen! I'm iconic, with my bionic animatronics Got a chronic knack to catch the hedgehog they call Sonic My temper is atomic! My mustache is on fire! Welcome to the new world, Eggman Empire!"
Metallic Madness Zone Act 1, in comparison, has a verse that in-character for Sonic: "We don't try too hard to impress with our madness Roll out the door straight up for the dance floor I'm a blast, I'm a beast, I never fatigue You're out of my league, don't you think you can beat the blue blur Check out my moves, check out my speed I'm ever in need of a phat beat I can move my feet to I live in the fast lane, it's the game I play I can't really say anything but ma-ma-ma-ma-madness"
One thing I love about Mania’s OST (aside from it being absolutely spectacular) is that, for each of the returning Zones in this game, Act 1 is a more true to the original remix whereas Act 2 is Tee Lopes’ own take on the Zone’s theme (btw, out of every Zone theme you listened too, the two that returned are Metallic Madness from Sonic CD and Flying Battery from the ‘& Knuckles’ half of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles)
Originally, Sonic Mania started as a fan project. However, SEGA liked the idea so much, they approached the team and asked if they could make it into an official release. And they did. Sonic Mania is regarded as one of the best Sonic games ever made
Not really, it was more like SEGA comissioned a group of devs famous for doing fan game that were basically industry professionals at this point (they made the classic mobile ports) to make a game they thought of LOL
@Iyasaykicyh not exactly. Every 3d sonic game has had at least somewhat mixed reception. Sonic mania is one of the only games to get positivity across the board.
It was never a fan game that SEGA liked, it was a pitch Whitehead and team made after having worked with SEGA for the mobile Sonic ports. SEGA didn't hired fans for being fans, they hired developers that happened to be fans in the rom hacking/modding community before.
After watching this, I really hope she gets around to the Sonic Generations soundtrack at some point. The Big Arms boss fight track in that game is probably one of my top boss themes of all time
I only found out it even existed a couple of months ago, as I played the 360 version. I feel like it hits different if you've already heard the original though.
Mania has such a great soundtrack. As a huge Sonic fan who especially loves Sonic music, it'd be so cool to see you react to more Sonic soundtracks in the future!!
YESSIR!!! Glad you finally checked it out!!! I love this OST, one of my all time favorites right next to: Undertale, Deltarune, MGR, Sonic Frontiers, Pizza Tower, etc. 😁
Most of this game has upbeat music. There are some outliers, but the whole soundtrack is amazing. Also, uh. I've never done this, but I would recommend the soundtrack of Xenoblade X.
Just discovered your channel, are you a trained musician? If not, you have an amazing ear for details most ppl gloss over, I really love when ppl put that much attention
I’ve been a Sonic fan since I was 6 (a decade now), and when 10 year old me saw the Sonic Mania animation trailer, I was so hyped! Knuckles was playable, Mighty and Ray make it in their first game since the 90s, and they had a little series of Sonic Mania too?? I was so happy, that when the Sonic Mania game came out, I bought it. It was amazing-They took us back to the classics. Thank you SEGA, for creating this wonderful game ❤️💛💙
Great to see you covering this game and seeing your reactions! I would honestly call Sonic one of the overall greatest video game music contributors of all time. For part 2, I am really curious what you would think of Titanic Monarch Act 2, and Hydrocity Act 2!
Hopefully at some point you’ll listen to both acts of Hydrocity zone, and Act 1 (whichever the slower one is) of Stardust Speedway zone. Those two, along with Studioplis zone Act 1 and Mirage Saloon (Kunckles’ version) are my favourites from this soundtrack.
100% do a part 2. This is my favorite video game soundtrack of all time. I can suggest a few more from this soundtrack: Stardust Speedway Act 2 Hydrocity Act 2 Chemical Plant Act 2 Metallic Madness Act 1 Ruby Delusions Lava Reef Act 1 Titanic Monarch Act 1 Egg Reviere Zone Stardust Speedway Act 1 And of course, I highly recommend you play it. For me, the best platformer of all time!
Heard you mention 'Jackal Sniper' and clearly the Halo 2 video reached it's target audience. Hopeful to hear the next Halo game but more Sonic Mania as well!
Scruffy has a great video going into more detail on this, but a LOT of Sonic music uses a combination of fast percussion and slow chord progression to create a sense of both speed and inertia. That may be what's making everything sound kind of samey.
You know what you should react to? My Singing Monsters! A fun game where you hatch monsters, breed them, and let them sing! So many different songs to react to, as well as a TON of monsters to listen to independently and such. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Sonic Mania is a fantastic game, possibly the best in the serie. I am with you in that Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a gem, my favorite non-Mario Mario Kart.
Tee Lopes is a remarkable genius with chiptunes. If you think this OST is a banger, you should check out his work on TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. Practically every track from that game that's uploaded on UA-cam has some comments calling it their favorite. The man just doesn't miss
Plz react to Mario RPG remake!!! Also I really love Mania's score and yet it's not even in my top 5 for Sonic games, just goes to show how good sonic music is
I hope you listen to some fighting game songs because those can tell stories especially if its entitled to a specific character, like in KOF, Street Fighter or Tekken
The reason that all the themes sound similar, instrument-wise, is that it's emulating older games with more limited capabilities. At least, I think that's the case.
Do you take suggestions? If so, I'd recommend giving the soundtracks to some of the Pac-Man games a listen (notably Pac-Man World 1 & 2, Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness, and Pac-Man Arrangement 1996)
Emi, might I suggest halo wars 1 ost for a reaction video? It has some nice short little music clips in its ost and seeing how much you enjoyed Halo combat evolved i think you'd dig it 😊
Hmm Mania is a close second. My favourite is definitely the Sonic Rush OST (Highly recommend it) Sonic Rush Adventure is okay..... it just didn't quite slap as hard as the original tho.
To be fair, much better versions of the beta songs exist. Jun Sunuoe really messed up and made them sound too Advance/Sonic 4-y depending on the track. Of the 3 I think Launch Base turned out the most passable.
Btw Emi mentioned she was a bit ill before this one but what she didn’t mention is she had also been looking after her husband, me, hi, hello, Who was stuck in bed for like 2 days with a really bad fever
So yeah any support on this vid is much appreciated as we were both very tired getting this across the line 😂
Hi, hello Emi's husbando o/
Hope you both get better soon
hope you both can get some good rest and feel better soon
Priorities right bro 😅

Metallic Madness Zone Act 1, in comparison, has a verse that in-character for Sonic:
"We don't try too hard to impress with our madness
Roll out the door straight up for the dance floor
I'm a blast, I'm a beast, I never fatigue
You're out of my league, don't you think you can beat the blue blur
Check out my moves, check out my speed
I'm ever in need of a phat beat I can move my feet to
I live in the fast lane, it's the game I play
I can't really say anything but ma-ma-ma-ma-madness"
"A baddie with a I.Q like you've never seen"
He knows he ate that
Eggman throwing some fire bars
I knew there were lyrics, but I didn't know the exact words
Honestly if you wanna play a Sonic game, Mania is a pretty good start as it's short and has the classic feel refreshed for modern day.
its always reminded me of sonic rush (the best sonic game of course), which was my introduction to the series
@@boinqity4621 Naganuma?????

I like your profile picture, Shoko Komi is always nice to see

Nothing in this post is true lol

Same here. That's from the 3DS version though so she might not get to hear that one
I only found out it even existed a couple of months ago, as I played the 360 version. I feel like it hits different if you've already heard the original though.
I love the Death Egg Robot one more than this one.
@@LordEmpyreal sameeee
Studioplis Zone Act 1 is my favourite for sure. If the great atmosphere wasn't enough, the amazing piano taking the spotlight for a bit is addictive
Same, definitely the standout for me soon as I heard it
me personally i love oil oceans bass
Mania has such a great soundtrack. As a huge Sonic fan who especially loves Sonic music, it'd be so cool to see you react to more Sonic soundtracks in the future!!
Agreed, I'd love the Adventure games or 06
When your whole soundtrack is nothing but bangers and you can't decide on a favorite.
Sonic Mania: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😆🎶🎶🎶
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I was waiting for you to get back to Sonic! I would love to see a part 2 of this, Mania has such an incredible soundtrack.
Look through all the Sonic games; even the crummiest of their releases have absolutely unreal amounts of amazing music in them.
Oh this whole OST is such a vibe, ngl (especially the last one, hell yeah!)
Also sorry to hear about the sickies D: hope you're feeling better now
If there is going to be a part 2 it has to be with:
Ruby Delusions
Ruby Ilussions
Titanic Monarch 1
Egg Reverie
And most important, The Confort Zone 🥺
I love Studiopolis act 1 so much it's so funky and fun!🎉
_Lights, Camera, Action!_ has been my morning alarm for the last few years. It's surprisingly effective.
i was actually planning of asking if she coud react to more sonic ost in the next video 😂
YESSIR!!! Glad you finally checked it out!!! I love this OST, one of my all time favorites right next to: Undertale, Deltarune, MGR, Sonic Frontiers, Pizza Tower, etc. 😁
we need a part 2 of unleashed sometime.. half a soundtrack that's asking to be headbanged to
"I think that one actually might be my favorite so far"
Oh my sweet summer child, that aged up like wine pretty quickly now, didn't it?
Most of this game has upbeat music. There are some outliers, but the whole soundtrack is amazing.
Also, uh. I've never done this, but I would recommend the soundtrack of Xenoblade X.
this ost is so darn special as well as the game, such a good time
0:48 Yes perhaps even a..., new jack swing, if you will.
Wait if you really like studio opolis zone, you can listen to “Settin’ the Scene”, which is a fan vocalization of this zone I believe
Just discovered your channel, are you a trained musician? If not, you have an amazing ear for details most ppl gloss over, I really love when ppl put that much attention
I would LOve to hear your reaction to Hydrocity Zone Act 2. It is a CERTIFIED. BANGER.
Hearing the "Woo" in the desert theme, gets me to believe if this was originally in the older games it'd be micheal jackson.
Hope you guys get better.
If you decide to go for part 2, ill bee there.
I was jamming and dancing along the entire video this soundtrack is such high energy

Tee Lopes x Sonic = Guaranteed absolute BANGER

Literally any song sounds better with Emi vibing along to it with you :D ❤

It’s very rare when Sonic music misses and this is not one of those times
Nice themes, i hope you do the Sonic and the Black Knight OST at some point too.
You know what you should react to? My Singing Monsters! A fun game where you hatch monsters, breed them, and let them sing! So many different songs to react to, as well as a TON of monsters to listen to independently and such. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I don’t play Sonic but I absolutely adore Metal Madness 2 and Studiopolis 1, absolute jams
TEE LOPES!!! MAKE ANOTHER CLASSIC SONIC OST AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
Sonic is well known to be amazing with music. They don't fail in that department. Never heard better music.
Yeah i would like a part 2.
Mania is probably the best sonic game to be your first one too.
This is my favorite video game OST of all time.
Sonic Mania is a fantastic game, possibly the best in the serie. I am with you in that Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a gem, my favorite non-Mario Mario Kart.
God this soundtrack is killer
i 110% recommend listening to egg reverie zone ITS SO GOOD
Studioplis Zone bout to pop off ( i hope) is up there as my top 10 vibes
Tee Lopes is a remarkable genius with chiptunes. If you think this OST is a banger, you should check out his work on TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. Practically every track from that game that's uploaded on UA-cam has some comments calling it their favorite. The man just doesn't miss
*Sigh* I guess it's time to throw myself back into my Sonic music obsession...agian! Thanks alot!
Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing was one of my favourite games on the Wii super solid kart racer with cool tracks and characters
one of my favourite sonic games, along with Heroes. I adpre Mania and mania music. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Plz react to Mario RPG remake!!!
Also I really love Mania's score and yet it's not even in my top 5 for Sonic games, just goes to show how good sonic music is
I hope you listen to some fighting game songs because those can tell stories especially if its entitled to a specific character, like in KOF, Street Fighter or Tekken
Sonic Mania had one insane soundtrack.
I wonder if we can get to hear the OST of games like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Heroes, Black Knight and Frontiers.
The reason that all the themes sound similar, instrument-wise, is that it's emulating older games with more limited capabilities.
At least, I think that's the case.
I HOPE SHE LISTENS TO THE BOSS THEMES
Studiopolis zone is a goated OST
NO ONE CAN RESIST STUDIOPOLIS ZONE MUSIC
EMBRACE THE STUDIO
PART 2 PLEASE!!!!
Do you take suggestions?
If so, I'd recommend giving the soundtracks to some of the Pac-Man games a listen (notably Pac-Man World 1 & 2, Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness, and Pac-Man Arrangement 1996)
I recommend you listen to the Undertale yellow soundtrack.
Not a sonic ost but I recommend listening to the streets of rage 4 ost, its also composed by tee lopes is is overally very incredible
Opening up with peak, I see!
You have chosen.... wisely
I genuinely hope you play this after saying “the themes feel the same.” 9:30
Fantastic ost, I just have to tap along!
Emi, might I suggest halo wars 1 ost for a reaction video?
It has some nice short little music clips in its ost and seeing how much you enjoyed Halo combat evolved i think you'd dig it 😊
Would you consider listening and reacting to the Katamari Demacy soundtrack?
Mirage Saloon is my banger
Excellent video, just I wish there were timestamps
I beg the next one is Persona 3 reload, you’ll love it, especially color your night and it’s going down 🙏
you should do the Pizza Tower ost. There are some uniquely wild bangers in there
No part 2 yet ❤
Metallic Madness Act 2 actually does have lyrics. it's not nonsense
PART 2 PLEASEE🙏🙏🙏
Hmm Mania is a close second.
My favourite is definitely the Sonic Rush OST (Highly recommend it) Sonic Rush Adventure is okay..... it just didn't quite slap as hard as the original tho.
This OST reminds me of Etika. RIP Joycon Boyz forever 🙏
*PART 2!!*
You forget Green Hill Zone Act 2 🙏😭
Shame zones like Ice Cap, Launch Base and Carnival Night had their original atmosphere stripped away by a stupid legal battle.
To be fair, much better versions of the beta songs exist. Jun Sunuoe really messed up and made them sound too Advance/Sonic 4-y depending on the track. Of the 3 I think Launch Base turned out the most passable.
honestly i prefer the new carnival night music. the original annoys me lol
Sonic rush have a fantastic ost too
Sonic Superstars Lagoon City is too good.
I recomend reacting to Megaman x5-6 OST, won't regret it.
Part 2. Lava reef act 2 PLEASE!
Part 2, please
You should listen to Chemical Plant Act 2, really good!
You need to listen to the Sonic CD soundtrack, specifically the Japanese soundtrack, you NEED to listen to You Can Do Anything and Believe in Yourself
No Vs Metal Sonic or Egg Reverie makes me sad
Emily at 13:38 👁👄👁 ‼
Please do video on soundtrack for Golden Sun
Hi Emily, love your reactions. Hope you can give a try to the Dark Souls games, Would be fun to start with the first of the series.
You should react to sonic CD soundtrack
can you react to sonic rush ost as well? will wait for your reaction. thank you.
React to Sonic Adventure 2 OST (the best one of Sonic imo)
Tee Lopez made composed every song in Mania and man, he smashed it
More!!
YESSSSSSSSSS
musician reacts to elden ring plz
