Robert Verdugo Ehhh... I can see the other comments as they all have good soundtracks and have really outstanding tracks in each of them, but Sonic Chronicles had a poor Soundtrack. Not the worst in the world, but the only songs I'd call decent are the boss and final boss fight, and the only reason why I like the final boss is because it sounds a lot like Palmtree Panic bad future.
this stage does such a great job at being the silly kind of spooky with the main theme whilst having undertones of creepiness and also actually being just creepy with the upside down theme and its usage of creepy voice samples and taking full of advantage of the whole gravity gimmick to make some really mind bending sections
Sometimes I just wonder how music like this isn't played at nightclubs or certain things? for example I feel this music would go perfectly for Halloween parties. It's so underrated and nostalgic it hurts!

The way they did this was too use the flash the switches generated to disguise the fact that the characters were actually warped to a completely different structure designed to look like it was upside down. That's why things like dropped ringd and power cores aren't there when you hit a switch!
The psychedelic background bass connects the carnival sideshow kookiness of the first half of the theme with with the relaxing yet somber uneasy musical paintbrush strokes of the second half
Crazy that the composer for this also did Endless Possibility and the Frontiers OST. Such versatility. Jun must be really glad to have passed the torch to Tomoya
When playing this as a kid, I was flipping terrified at the one moment where your on the underside of the roof of a building and you have to enter it, with the sky below you looking like a bottomless pit.
@@kennethquintero5356 well tbh at least in the egg fleet you are above the sky but in the upside down castle your below it so once you fall your basically falling to the void.

It begs the question if Michael Jackson ever got to hear this lol you'd think he would've been like dang that sounds like me in the yells. Or at least have his family or fans hear it and they'd be like how the comment section is about this detail.
How can people say this is a bad game? Sure it has its serious issues... but its a very VERY fun game to play, and the soundtrack is awesome! Maybe the best ost Sonic ever had. I remember putting my speakers out loud to all my neighbours to hear, playing this awesome soundtracks. This one is a Master Piece

The upside-down theme used to scare me as a kid because the concept of falling into the sky genuinely horrified me.
still horrifies me
Treasure Planet: Write that down

I think this used to (and probably still does) terrify a lot of people
I got that way when I hung upside down on monkey bars

Basically confirming his death.
Why's Tails so whiny in this game?

Me too
Me 3!
Me 4
Moi cinq!
I'm more of a futuristic city level guy
I swear to god there is not a single shit song in this ost
tbh
Nope not at all.
Don’t think there’s a single shit song in any sonic ost
milky
Sonic chronicles
@@tjlnintendo The music isnt bad. Just sounds too static and robotic since its from a DS. But thats just my opinion.
The dynamic change in the middle of the song
Yea, well it changes as you flip the gravity switches in the castle.
i LOVE it
Holy shit man, this soundtrack is WAY better than I remembered it being. I gotta dig this game back out sometime
No time like now
Omg legit I’m looking at buying a console too play this game specifically! I use too love the sound track so much!!
@@AshleyTutss I ended up just emulating it and having a ton of fun running through a couple teams
And honestly, same here I just remembered the very beginning beats on loop😅
Please?
Micheal Jackson now haunts this song
Now? This game came out like 13 years ago
THRILLIRR!!!!
xD

You never know. Yuzo Koshiro has played his compositions from Streets of Rage in clubs.
really want to take this piano melody and turn it into a sick intro for something in the clubs

This and the Pumpkin Hill theme!
Knuckles: "We're not going there, are we?
Sonic: "Yes, we are"!
Rouge : Doesn't look like we will able to move on.
Shadow : No problem, let's get moving.
Cream: Amy, looks like we're stuck here!

One of the best beats in any video game.
Its still stuck in my head even after years

Aquatic mine SA2 slightly better
Listen to Memory Band by The Rotary Connection. Thank me later!
Perfect to listen to on Halloween.
Frankly it's great to listen to anytime of year.
And that’s what I’m doing right now!
hell yeah
hang castle goes hard any time anywere
Damn. I remember being stuck on this stage for the longest time.

i was stuck in that big old damn house and the jungle second level witht that stupid eligator
Not me. Guess I was just super lucky.

2:48 to 3:03 is some fire beats right there boi!

Team Chaotix = Not a bunch of wusses
Charmy is so cute ♥
So Knuckles didn't get scared but Shadow did.... gg SEGA.👏
Not scared, Shadow was just surprised :P
Sonic, Tails, Rouge,Cream, and Amy got scared well but not Shadow, Omega, Vector, Espio, Charmy Kunckles and Big.
I usually love levels that play with gravity, and this one was no exception :D Even though it was a hard one
yea! love it!!!

This music is spooky, surreal and...satisfying!
The low fidelity drum samples in this track are eargasmic.
Reminds me of the old hanna barbera Scooby Doo tracks
I think the upside down castle would cause people who are afraid of heights to have a heart attack. The sky is the ground.

Never play Majora's Mask. XD
And then they reach Egg Fleet!
@@kennethquintero5356 well tbh at least in the egg fleet you are above the sky but in the upside down castle your below it so once you fall your basically falling to the void.
this still slaps years later
wait Micheal Jackson's not dead it's just that somebody trapped him inside this castle and no one can track his voice
Creatorofdarkness17 It’s cause he wasn’t credited for Sonic 3 music
Michael is alive.
ANTHONY A no, s t o p.
@@PhantomsCode Sorry, just saying what I found.
He also worked on Space Channel 5 and he was a character in that game even.

And now this theme will be all the month in sonic speed simulator

Love the fact too that all the speed types went "What??"
It's the best one in RUclips that combines both normal and inverted version
NOT mashing them up...
Wish your version was longer :
Because this one is from the official soundtrack. They probably made this and then split it into two separate tracks for the game
this is the best version of that
but imo the best version is the upside down one for the funny vocals
happy halloween
This is so nostalgic to me, i would literally just stand idle in this level and just listen to this masterpiece.
Halloween 2024 🔥🔥🔥

holy shit i've finally found it, i remember hearing this in a video like 3-4 years ago and it wasn't linked in the description

don't mind me, i'm just waiting for the thousands of comments talking about sonic speed simulator
People Were Hanged in This Castle.
DerpADuh thats dark dude 0_0
Then got into a Mystic Mansion
15 people
That's literally what I thought when I played this as a 5 year old
(In Sonic Boom beaver voice) _Actually,_ it's *hung.*
Loved playing this game on the original Xbox back in the day. Countless memories on the menus just appreciating the models as a kid lol.
ABSOLUTE BANGER
Loved both creepy levels and their music
This is art. ♡
This taught me drums at school! My school loved the beats!!
0:56 is what you're here for
You're welcome
Imagine this song in a Halloween party xDD
Who would've thought that back then that we witnessed the beginning of one of the greatest Sonic games composers. So mindblowing to think of that
Happy Halloween from Sonic Heroes!!!
They nailed this track!!
This is the song that I’ve been searching for
Speed sim brought u here didnt it
"This is a game for kids, but can kids handle a haunted castle this F U N K Y?"

This takes me back.

The castle has fliped upside down
this is probably the best song in any sonic game ever
Being scary has never been more funky.
This was a great game.
this song is actually the ghost of michael jackson's unreleased sonic 3 soundtrack
I regret not playing this on full volume at halloween :(
its spooky season
i didnt recognize this level until the music shifted to the other version and then it unearthed old memories from my childhood and i freaksd out
I forgot just how good this song was. ❤
spooky jet set radio ahh beat
wow musical geniuses did u listen to the end when the beat was "dying" and it goes out the way it started! wow talent on all these songs fr!
Can’t wait to hear this again
I need a PS2 and this game again NOW 😭😭😭
Yo Adriann This game sucked on PS2.
Download dolphin and download it. Runs great for me
@ShadowByrd i'd recommend just buying the PC edition.
Long life for NGC!!! ;)
PCSX2, Dolphin and PC port are good options to play it if you don't own the console.
I use to be scared af playing this level in both day and night! Especially the boss level too! Good times

True, but I can see why.
