Doctor Eggman canonically runs faster than Sonic
-
That Galaxy Generator piano solo is freaking nasty oh my god
-
Ah yes, Waluigi, the peak of human athletic ability.
-
1:20 In F-Zero GX, which was made by SEGA and came out in 2003, there are remixes of SNES' Mute City and Big Blue themes, so that would be an earlier instance of Nintendo music being remixed by SEGA.
-
Trading this for nfts has got to be the worst call I've seen in a long time.
-
I'll never forget in M&S 2014 when they did a rendition of Peach's Secret Slide and nonchalantly made far and away the BEST version of the song ever. Like they went so far as to write a sax and guitar solo over the chord progression and a phenomenal buildup at the end to the start of the loop, it's insane.
-
It’s funny seeing a eternal rivalry between two of the biggest video game companies end with Olympics 😂
-
BABE WAKE UP NEW CADENCE HIRA VIDEO JUST DROPPED
-
I heard Vento Brasilerio I and immediately knew it had to have been composed by Tomoya Ohtani, the lead composer for Sonic Lost World.
-
ive been speaking the truth about bowsers funk generator
-
Ok as someone who is a Massive Mario nerd, and played only the original 2008 M&S Olympic games, I am FLABBERGASTED about these songs, because I literally never knew these amazing remixes existed! I just assumed all the M&S games used generic music like the first since I never played any of the other games. But I love how similar yet also completely changed many of these remixes are, it's very different to how, say, Smash Bros remixes songs like these!
-
I've never heard the remix of Bowser's Galaxy Generator and HOT DAMN that jazzy piano solo goes CRAZY
-
4:00 That part of the song actually transitions pretty well into the other one the way you set it up. Makes me think it would be better if they kept the original melody for the first part before easing into the more dissonant version, and then going into that cool key change after a bit. Just my opinion though
-
I was like "Oh that's funny, that reminds me of Mario Kart 8, but way before it released" ... then realized MK8 was released 10 years ago
-
Since you like the "simple melody, complex harmony", go after "Samba de uma nota só" or "One Note Samba" by Tom Jobim.
-
I wish there were a Cadence Hira in my friend group to enthusiastically break down all my beloved game music bangers 😢
-
I am devastated that Mario and Sonic got left in the dust. It was my childhood growing up and I always loved unlocking the awesome remixes that the SEGA sound team did for every game. Such a shame that such an iconic franchise could get shut down that easily.
-
1:38 Holycrabbucket that sounds like a classic DOOM track :D
-
The OSTs in these games are so underrated. Always trust Segas music team to cook, especially when Sonic is involved.
-
Mario & Sonic in the Olympic Games did to Bowser's Galaxy Generator what MECO did to the Star Wars OST and was amazing (look up Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk, it's incredible).
