Sonic Mania Has The Most Upbeat OST. 

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 😂

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.

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!"

0:03 Metallic Madness Act 2 3:18 Press Garden Act 2 6:13 Hi-Spec Robo Go! 8:02 Flying Battery Act 1 10:48 Mirage Saloon Act 2 13:14 Studiopolis Act 1

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

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)

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

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!!

When your whole soundtrack is nothing but bangers and you can't decide on a favorite. Sonic Mania: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😆🎶🎶🎶

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

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.

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

Look through all the Sonic games; even the crummiest of their releases have absolutely unreal amounts of amazing music in them.

I love Studiopolis act 1 so much it's so funky and fun!🎉

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 🥺

Hearing the "Woo" in the desert theme, gets me to believe if this was originally in the older games it'd be micheal jackson.

we need a part 2 of unleashed sometime.. half a soundtrack that's asking to be headbanged to

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.

_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 😂

I would LOve to hear your reaction to Hydrocity Zone Act 2. It is a CERTIFIED. BANGER.

Tee Lopes x Sonic = Guaranteed absolute BANGER

this ost is so darn special as well as the game, such a good time

I was jamming and dancing along the entire video this soundtrack is such high energy

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. 😁

Hope you guys get better. If you decide to go for part 2, ill bee there.

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!

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

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.

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

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

Nice themes, i hope you do the Sonic and the Black Knight OST at some point too.

It’s very rare when Sonic music misses and this is not one of those times

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!

Studioplis Zone bout to pop off ( i hope) is up there as my top 10 vibes

Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing was one of my favourite games on the Wii super solid kart racer with cool tracks and characters

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 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?

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 RU-vid has some comments calling it their favorite. The man just doesn't miss

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.

I don’t play Sonic but I absolutely adore Metal Madness 2 and Studiopolis 1, absolute jams

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.

one of my favourite sonic games, along with Heroes. I adpre Mania and mania music. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i 110% recommend listening to egg reverie zone ITS SO GOOD

God this soundtrack is killer

*Sigh* I guess it's time to throw myself back into my Sonic music obsession...agian! Thanks alot!

Fantastic ost, I just have to tap along!

if you’re making a sonic mania part 2 i think you should try listening to oil ocean act 1, titanic monarch act 1, metallic madness act 1, and stardust speedway act 1. also i recommend the sonic cd jpn ost

I wonder if we can get to hear the OST of games like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Heroes, Black Knight and Frontiers.

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!

PART 2 PLEASE!!!!

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

Excellent video, just I wish there were timestamps

*PART 2!!*

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

Opening up with peak, I see!

I HOPE SHE LISTENS TO THE BOSS THEMES

Mirage Saloon is my banger

Sonic is well known to be amazing with music. They don't fail in that department. Never heard better music.

No part 2 yet ❤

Sonic Mania had one insane soundtrack.

PART 2 PLEASEE🙏🙏🙏

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?

Part 2. Lava reef act 2 PLEASE!

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

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)

Part 2, please

I recommend you listen to the Undertale yellow soundtrack.

Please do video on soundtrack for Golden Sun

You have chosen.... wisely

More!!

I beg the next one is Persona 3 reload, you’ll love it, especially color your night and it’s going down 🙏

Sonic rush have a fantastic ost too

you should do the Pizza Tower ost. There are some uniquely wild bangers in there

You should listen to Chemical Plant Act 2, really good!

I genuinely hope you play this after saying “the themes feel the same.” 9:30

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.

Metallic Madness Act 2 actually does have lyrics. it's not nonsense

NO ONE CAN RESIST STUDIOPOLIS ZONE MUSIC EMBRACE THE STUDIO

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.

I recomend reacting to Megaman x5-6 OST, won't regret it.

YESSSSSSSSSS

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.

No Vs Metal Sonic or Egg Reverie makes me sad

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

part 2

React to Sonic Adventure 2 OST (the best one of Sonic imo)

You should react to sonic CD soundtrack

Shame zones like Ice Cap, Launch Base and Carnival Night had their original atmosphere stripped away by a stupid legal battle.

Tee Lopez made composed every song in Mania and man, he smashed it

More

musician reacts to elden ring plz

React to tekken 8 music pls 🥺❤
