I really like when games do this with characters and make them a theme like in this when they're in the lead or like in marko strikers charged when a goal is scored their theme plays its such a simple but awesome thing to add but not much games do it anymore
Super agree. And this game's got it down to a tee! The music files themselves are structured in a really interesting way too: they're broken up into one-second intervals and the game pieces them, mix-and-matches them, and switches between them at run-time. Nowadays we don't need to cut up music anymore to do exactly that of course -- but seeing the music structured like that back in the day when I dived into the folders, was very inspiring and taught me a lot about how the game must tick on the inside.
I remember everyone always fought over who got to be henchman 800, because, understandably, he's awesome. But I switched to always playing Razorbeard once I learned how hard his theme slaps.
Back when I was 8 years old... I played this game all the time. And played as this guy. Constantly. Because he had such a cool walk. And the best music. What the fuck. Listening to this really makes me too nostalgic for words.
I. AGREE. SAME. I played all of the characters, but Razorbeard... like, A LOT. I also super enjoy the way both he and Henchman 800 cry out when they get targeted by something nasty in combat arenas e.g. the Hover Bomb. >:)
@@Shrooblord I would not have remembered this comment if it wasn't for your reply. 8 years ago man. Time flies by. By now I have even played rayman arena remastered pc port.
I just played through this game for the first time and the racing part is solid as hell. Also you have to play as Rayman or Razorbeard because they have the best music.
Devs: just a short cartoony robo-pirate in parachute pants, don't go too hard with his theme. Claude Samard: Seriously, a character as stupid looking as Razorbeard does NOT deserve a theme this badass.
I love how whoever's in the lead gets his theme played.
one of the greatest appeals of this game, you want your theme to be played all throughout the race if you're in first
@@Alphacarmine72 Man I made this comment 9 years ago lol
@@NeurosisOsmosis you never know when you’ll get a response haha
If only this was a recent online multi game so the racers posed a challenge.
@@NeurosisOsmosis Time lmao
I don't remember this game's OST going so *hard*
Such a banger for a 4 foot 3 dude with a metal beard
Now this music Razorbeard theme sounds like the language of Heavy Metal with axe guitar and orchestra in space opera.
Brings back the good days eh
Sure does
Stop nostalgia'ing and just go and play it.
My intro drug to metal when I was 6 I think.
I don't think this is metal
@@liviekumori im pretty sure its a mix of synthetic and guitar
@@IAmIn_Constant_Confusion an e-guitar cover of this would slap tho
This shows how ruthless razorbeard is!
This is why Razorbeard is my favorite

I wish I could've played with friends like you. :')
But that sounds great! And yes... Razorbeard, our bestest Admiral
i played with him and the muisc is so good
I thought that was just the music of the game lol

aah....my childhood
ikr
this theme gives me goosebumps i like with techno and guitar riffs
But i love it
This theme song is perfect for evil emperor zurg
my favourite character to use everytime in battle, because his shooting bullets are slightly faster :3
Oh god, those active pickups and harmonics
"Nightmare Fuel: Razorbeard's theme. It is so spooky."
A theme this rad for a shortstack who runs on a pegleg and flaps his arms like a bird to glide.
This theme is the number one thing I remember about this game.
Would love to EVER see That kind of notes
Capitan Razor is my Favourite and the music too
@Milo J. Noto Was zur Hölle xD
Erstens, wieso habe ich dieses Video kommentiert?
Zweitens, wie in aller Welt hast du mich gefunden?
That's Admiral Razorbeard to you!

This is the only song during gameplay i've ever heard since i only played him.
I have two character my normale Henchman 1000 and when i play with my friends and i go hard i play Captian Razorbeard
my childhood T^T
I love the idea of music changing depending on whoever was in the lead.
I just played through this game for the first time and the racing part is solid as hell.
Also you have to play as Rayman or Razorbeard because they have the best music.
Who wants to go back to childhood and play this wonder!!!
You don't have to go back to childhood, you can play it right now. You just have to take up Razorbeard's profession.
*sigh the memories. He was my fav chatacter too
0:44 This is a really SPOOKY song!
gives me goose bumps
One of my themes in the entire game
MUCH CREATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How have I never heard of this before?????????I feel embarrassed and have not played this Rayman game often
*Throws Hat* WOW!
Not going to lie this sounds likes Razorbeard's intro before you fight him.
So annoying, jet so AWSOME! It seemed very desturbing at first, but I got used to it after listening to it for a while.
2:28 peak ❤
This is a real badass theme, why didn't they use it the final boss of rayman 2?
this was made AFTER rayman 2.
not before it.
Invader ZIM!
Oh wait Wrong thing
Great
Now i cant unsee this.
YES!
Love it
this is better than his annoying razorwife's creepy opera
que de bon souvenir de ce jeux
Legendary
I love what it sounds like.
Duuuh, buhdun, duuuh, buhdun, duuuuh, buhduh, Dee daah, daah, daah.

Devs: just a short cartoony robo-pirate in parachute pants, don't go too hard with his theme.
Claude Samard:
Seriously, a character as stupid looking as Razorbeard does NOT deserve a theme this badass.
Simply awesome. Nuff said!
3:50
Good Music Villain Littled Mad
how i can download it's track?
Look up RayTunes, I think.
Which band played this theme? I want to hear more of this talented person
Claude Samard Polikar is the composer and performer of many if not all of the game's soundtrack. :)
Mi faborito es unchman
Perdon hencman
cool
Imagine if the Rabbids could have been on Rayman Arena! That would be have been crazy!
Rammstein brought me here.
because Rayman 2 came before this game
Razor here 5:27
