Sound Test Memories # 1

- When I've spent time with a game and grown to love its sound track, there's nothing I value more than being about to go to the options menu and find a sound test there.
Now I listen to my favourite songs, and in some cases, sound effects as much as I like. This option has become somewhat of a rarity in the modern era of gaming, but I'll always treasure the times they were readily available.
But there are times when sound tests offer more than just music, and these stick out in my memory the most. That's why today, I'm taking a look back on my memories with Sound Tests and the highs and lows they have brought me.
As mentioned in the video, there's an extra, unlisted continuation of these video. If you can't click on the icon at the end, here's a link to it: • Sound Test Memories Extra - เกม

It's the good ol' classic intro, with a touch of modern! Love it!
Oh man the animated intros take me back
I gotta admit, the first 30 seconds or so made me think my headphones were broken.
Same
It made me think it was a youtube bug
It's very amusing to go into the sound test of Puyo Puyo and put the danger song on, which is a short looping medley that gets a higher pitch each time. In normal gameplay you won't hear it long enough that anything happens, but in the sound test the pitch ends up so high it becomes inaudible.
10:22 - The japenese Texts reads "Infinite Fun from Sega Enterprises. - Majin" 'Majin' is a childhood nickname of Sonic CD's landscape Designer, Masato Nishimura.
12:00 - The text above Sonic's head in this picture reads "You are cool" with the bottom text reading "By Sanchanzu". The picture was drawn by Masahiro Sanpei, landscape designer and animation visual director for Sonic CD.
5:00 This Feature also happens in Miitopia where you have to Hear the Specific Songs In-Game before you can View them in the Sound Test. In Fact, I'm pretty sure ALL RPG's with Sound Tests have this Feature. :3
Pointless trivia: did you know that the debug mode cheat in spanish countries (well, at least in Argentinian magazines) was called "mil caras" (a thousand faces)?
Dunno why. Don't ask me why. I could transform in anything but faces (?)
What would you do without sound tests?
Go on BrawlBRSTMs3 X's TH-cam channel :P
Or GilvaSunner. But the channel ya said is better, true.

this one video proves you wrong xflame
Some games aren´t there.
Is like a soundtest in youtube
I believe BGM35 in SoR3 is a beta track from The Story of Thor/Beyond Oasis, from what Project2612 says.
It is. There is a tune in Beyond Oasis that resembles BGM35.
Oh sweet, love the intro
With the horrifying boss theme and the lack of some awesome themes from the Japanese version, I'd almost say that they shouldn't have bothered changing Sonic CD's soundtrack for the American release.
Then again, we would've never gotten Sonic Boom, so....
In my opinion I think both soundtracks of Sonic CD are the best. Without either soundtrack existing the game just feels half empty with one soundtrack gone. Without the US soundtrack there wouldn't be awesome themes like Sonic Boom, Wacky Workbench Present and Good Future, Stardust Speedway's Futures, and some jingles.
Without the Japanese soundtrack there wouldn't be awesome themes like Collision Chaos, Tidal Tempest, Quartz Quadrant, Wacky Workbench Present and Bad Future, Stardust Speedway, Metallic Madness, the Boss Themes, and some jingles.
Songs like Wacky Workbench Present (US and JPN), Wacky Workbench Bad Future JPN, and Wacky Workbench Good Future US are my most favorite songs of all time. I've gotta say WW Bad Future JPN is my favorite Japanese track (and 2nd best song ever) and Good Future US is my most favorite song ever. I always get a daily dose of Sonic CD music. I listen to both soundtracks all day long (Mostly Wacky Workbench).
Yeah, I like both soundtracks too. I just don't understand why they had to make the US Boss theme so scary.
I'm one of the few who like the US Boss Theme just as much as the Japanese Boss Theme but the US Sound Test image with the song is so creepy especially in the Batman Sonic one.
I remember there being an Easter egg in Ristar that made the music play really off-key. I tried it out after reading about it in a magazine but it was a total "Leave My Ears Alone!" moment.
Aaaah Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic 2, i've always tought that song would come out when i got the seven emeralds... And the day i've got them all, the game told me : Nope!!! You'll never know how to hear that song ingame. Later Internet comes and the mystery was finally solved. Also Git there's absolutely no need to hold A button when selecting a stage to get Super Sonic.
I don't know how you do it, but every time you create a new series is amazing, you are talented, I guess
Some people speculate that the BGM35 from SoR3 is actually an early tune from Beyond Oasis, another Ancient game. The song in particular from Beyond Oasis is called Deep Hole, and both songs sound a _little_ bit similar but with a change in instruments and tempo. It's quite a stretch though, so let's just go with the idea that it's a funny version of the ending theme.
10:22 Well, that text on screen actually translates to "Fun is Infinite. SEGA Enterprises. Devil"
very disturbing 😲
Ah, the Ristar soundtrack... I remember doing just what you did in the video. x)
I had way too much fun bullying that poor bird. Games really do make people violent! ;)
I don't think violent so, but probably spam music to people who hate and get haunted lol,
Really good game instead
It's a shame that sound tests aren't really a thing anymore. Being able to go into the options menu and listening to the songs that might await me in the game gave me a little bit of extra motivation to play through these games.
EDIT: Holy shit, opening with Plok music. Creepy Crag, even. Best song of the game right there. You're the man, Git.
Pat Frost Sadly nowadays they just want you to buy their ost :(
Thank you man! I was looking for what game had that awesome music for years! Thank you so much!
I miss sound tests
Some games still have them, to an extent. Pretty much all recent Kirby games, for instance
suddenly,
a remastered intro, by some extent.
Yes! Sound tests are one of my favorite things in any video game. So glad to hear you talking about them.
11:26 they actually fused Batman and Wolverine in some comics.
The fusion was called Darkclaw.
i miss when games had sound tests, nowadays we're lucky if sound effects aren't bugged or de-synched with animations
My favorite soundtrack thing was probably from Order of Ecclesia.
Having Shanoa say "fuck you" by playing SFX 34 and 35...
Teasing people with Dracula's laughs...
Dying of laughter by listening to Barlowe's japanese laughing fits...
And making the villagers say weird stuff x)
Mother 3 lets you listen to songs you havent heard but they hide the names of ones you havent heard
The actually re-used sound effects from Shinobi in Sonic Mania during the Heavy Shinobi fight, just saying it for those who don't know.
11:20 unintentional prediction of Roger Craig Smith voicing Sonic
Oh jeez
This is honestly one of the most underrated channels I have ever seen.
The animated intro has returned from the grave to give the living Painis!
holy shit the old intro yes
i had to triple-check my headphones though
When I was little, I messed quite a lot with the Sonic trilogy sound test and even managed to put sound effects from them in Worms Armageddon
The only iconic theme that I remember from sonic cd is the time out when you don't touch the controller for 10 minutes
it was 3 minutes.
WHEN I SAW THE SONIC CD INTRO I KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN...MY WORST NIGHTMARE...
O GOD I PAUSED AT GUNSTAR SUPER HEROES BECAUSE OF MEMORY BURST
Hey, is that Sonic CD coverage I just saw? I'd love to see you cover it in a Creepy Moments video, because it has plenty of them. Especially the future levels and both soundtracks
Pulseman's sound test do spoiler with the sfx, you can hear all dialogue in game, basically you can hear the story in the right order by going to the menu, it also is material for your seizure inducing games series, on one specific level though, and he is op, he becomes invulnerable while dealing damage by button mashing (he can't dash or attack during the invulnerability, it isn't necessary though)
man i hate it when a stickman throws an easter island statue at me
The only reason I clicked was to see Sonic CD. Needless to say I am not disappointed
3:58 I also did that when I was a kid hahahahahahahaha xD
Pokemon mystery dungeon's sound tests were what i kept grinding out my rank for in GTI/SPMD
Oh man, I really love your videos Git. Keep it up.
The strangest part of that one Ristar sound test is that the credits song only shows up if you input a cheatcode you learn after beating the game (which incidentally also allows you to use the "Off-key" effect from the vulture boss on any song), but the FINAL BOSS theme is apparently fair game.
@2:36 - I like to imagine that it's the credits theme for a hypothetical Streets of Rage sitcom.
Hey, it was the 1990's.
I still give that bird in Ristar seizures
The intro makes me feel nice inside.
How were we going to talk about Sonic Cd and NOT include the nightmare fuel Sonic?
when i opened the video i thought i was on one of those early creepy bad endings
5:58 I just played through this level for my first time yesterday... oh god.... those Gale reinforcements...
You should make a series called Translation Trash about bad video game translations
Can you try the sound test then play "warm event" on sonic rush after you
Finish it?
Holy shosh someone remembers Ristar
Me, pretty underated masterpiece
NEW VIDEO
2:32 LOL
Mr X: Crap! My favorite channel is experiencing difficulties!?
Better kill some people
The disappearance of these may be caused by the want to sell their soundtracks on CD and iTunes. Or that a good chunk of gaming soundtracks starting around the late 2000s don’t have anything worthwhile.
Maybe BGM35 was gonna be for an early good ending for the game?
2:19 - Yeah, I just had flashbacks from dumbest robotnik moments
I'm still dissapointed you can't do the cheat codes in Sonic Classic Collection.Hell,the only thing i can pick in Sonic 2 SCC is who i wanna play as,and there's not reset combination for Sonic 3 SCC either!I can only do the combination that is supposed to unlock sound test.
git,why do most of the games you play look like they're from america,i just feel confused. are you even english still?anyway yeah please answer :).
Sonic CD creepy one says something akin to
Nintendo Infinite fun
-signed Satan
early on sonic.exe nc eye of three part 2 and now im early on this wow
I wonder if original MG2 for MSX has sound test...
nowadays we rely on youtubers to upload soundtracks on youtube and soundcloud, to replace sound tests.
Streets of Rage 3's mystery song (Not Ash's) sounds like the Sumotori Dreams music.
I prefer the U.S. soundtrack of CD overall...though it does depend on the song. The U.S. title theme (Sonic Boom) is awesome, and I wish it would show up in a remixed form in a modern Sonic game (like...if there''s a Mania 2, it could be the title track...just putting that out there on the off chance that Tee Lopes somehow sees this comment)
Some US themes are better than JPN themes mainly Wacky Workbench Good Future US.
The video don't start yet... Konami's pause sound???? XD
Also the moai is a reference to gradius and parodius???
BGM35 of Streets Of rage 3 later became part of the Beyond Oasis soundtrack. It was just a demo by Yuzo Koshiro, possibly unused for that time.
Can Somebody please tell me what the music is that starts at 0:55?
BGM 35
Axel screws up SoR4.
How did you add music to Sonic CD?! I couldn't even get the music to work on any of the ISO images I've got!
I would kill for a sound test in Dark Cloud.
As far as I know the song in question for SOR3 has something to do with Beyond Oasis. Early version of some tune or something.
Am I detecting Plok music?
My suggestion for B35 is that it might've been the theme for a scrapped ocean level,or a secret area of some kind.
I love games with Sound Tests and Music Players, it's nice to not have to look up the themes online all the time.
i'm swarmed with nostalgia, those sonic cheats brought me right back to 2009
Adam I love how you're always coming up with new stuff!
Who was the first disliker?
5:33 I wonder if I have one of those discs, I do have Mario Kart, Double Dash!!
YAAAAAAY NEW WHOISTHISGIT
by the way, the very touhou games you apparently despise have sound tests (sorta)
I miss sound test
Throwback intro, I love it.
Do a video about the Wario Land 4 sound test.
Wow this got a an extra in like 10 mins
Oh hi lub lub
Oh boy, spinoffs and a new intro!
The old intro is back.
The extra is already out
Nice to see ya, Git.
old intro thonk
Lub lub returns
You should check out the unused songs in many games that aren't even IN their sound test, like the beta Beyond Oasis title theme and an early Bad Ending theme left over in the files of Bare Knuckle III. (The Japanese version of Streets of Rage 3)
2:24 Why does this actually fit so much
Damn this is nostalgic
