I heard that Sonic Chronicles' entire soundtrack was either lost or corrupted right before release. So they had to quickly make a shoddy replacement, explaining the ABYSMAL quality of the thing.
6:50 Fun fact: This "music" is actually an incredibly bit crushed version of Diamond Dust Zone Act 1 from the Genesis/MegaDrive version of Sonic 3D Blast. They didn't even try.
DarkFrozenDepths The battle, boss, and final boss music to be exact. ...Though Mystic Ruins is passable as well, it's a decent mix of Final Fight Zone.

RoseOfTheNight4444 That seems too accurate now, because of how capcom are as a company, right dude? They're doing better, actually. They gave us the Resident Evil 2 remake, and Devil May Cry 5, so, they're doing better, despite their shitty reputation. They're not as bad as konami or ea. But you're right.

There's a video on YT that uses the base patterns of the RE basement theme, but changes the instruments... and it does sound a lot better. This makes one wonder if there was a mistake while converting the music.
I am gonna be frank, this is the hardest countdown to sit through. Not because of rabbid, but there is only so much bad music you can listen to in the background. The other video's have fantastic and relevant music playing, while this one only has the relevant part...
Well then it's a good think I am apparently a musical masochist. I can appreciate fantastic music but I still find myself listening to some strange compositions in what people call "worst video game music" playlists. I can see why they consider them terrible, but the fact that I willingly subject myself to it sometimes just goes to show how much I love music no matter how over the top bad it can get. At the least, I'd rather listen to these sort of compositions over that boring mainstream junk that tries to pass off as music.

That''s the relative weakness of Bravely Second's soundtrack: the four character themes all use the same instrumentation. I cannot tell them apart with any reliability.
Since you brought it up for the #3 I'd love to see your take on the most unique gaming soundtracks that defy easy genre classification. Ones that instantly come to my mind are Remember Me with it's intentional glitches or Jet Set Radio's weird and bombastic mash-up. With some mention of anything made by Keiichi Okabe (NieR series) as being uniquely his own sound.
The biggest accomplishment Smash Ultimate made wasn't getting everyone back along with some fan favorites or the fact that it was the biggest crossover in the year of Infinity War. It was making music from Yoshi's New Island sound good.
Well the problem with New Island's music wasn't the tunes themselves, it was the abysmal instrument choice that just sundered it. Crafted World honestly has a similar problem with just botching the instruments used in the songs, and I feel like it's that that hinders those soundtracks most.
@@konsuno8143 Nah, I also really liked the game (soundtrack aside). It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad a game as a lot of people claim. The mountains of callbacks to the comics and old sonic cartoons might have been part of it tho.
@@10001vader Ditto. I blocked out the soundtrack, though, so it must not have been good. Usually that means it wasn't especially bad either, but being a portable game I likely had the sound turned down.
I do legitimately love the save room theme for the director's cut. Its peaceful bliss was a nice inversion of the uncertain tone of the last version, though I love that one too..... and yeah that's about it. Did I mention the director's cut was the first version I played... shame because I love the new auto aim feature and mode that changes item location. There's good things, but the soundtrack is a BIG sticking point.
What Rabbid was afraid of: "Dude, why are you making music related content". My reaction to to this video: "Dude , please make more music related content"!
Didn't know you had a background in music! Would love to see more stuff like this. Also towards the end I was JUST starting to think "hey he didn't do the subscribe gag he always does" and then THAT happened.
Justice League Task Force for the SNES has beautiful music for each stage that fits their personality. Justice League Task Force for the Sega Genesis as far as I can tell has random techno tracks that randomly pick themselves before each fight. I will give it this, though, the Intro theme is awesome and the Snes doesn't even have an Intro
The music from 1942 for NES is notoriously terrible, but then the company that converted it (Micronics) was rumoured to be just one Japanese student with a lot of spare time.
I work in sales and I need a good additude before i walk into the office and i always watch a rabbidluigi episode to put me in a really neutral state of mind so I can choose to have a little hop in my step. Thanks for being apart of my morning
I love video game soundtracks. They're so many great and memorable music throughout the history of video games especially the old school ones. Hell even in some bad games like sonic 06 and megaman X6 can have such amazing music. Thank goodness that I have never heard these (well now I have but I meant in the past. I'll probably going to need to hear some good music to get these out of my head now.)
1.- I really enjoyed this. As someone who is son to an artist teacher and that studied singing a... couple... of years ago, I find it fascinating how your musical knowledge can influence your abilities to tell apart how awful can a soundtrack be and give it a better analysis than most tend to do. 2.- As a Venezuelan myself, I find it sad that this list was topped by a "game" made in here. When you do a "Top Five Best Soundtracks in Videogames", please know that there is a Venezuelan game with a really good soundtrack called VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. Also the game itself is good. 3.- I recommend doing a Top Five Games made in Latin America. Trust me, there are plenty of good games made in Latin America. Long Gone Days (Chile) and -11 Hall-A (Venezuela) are good example of this (there are plenty of good games made in México), it's all just a matter of digging up names and much searching... there's even a game made in Uruguay that's exclusive to the PSVita.
I am so glad Crazy Bus is #1 on this list XD oh man it almost feels like an homage to the Angry Video Game Nerd with that, and the NES Terminator soundtrack at the very end. Both equally terrible soundtracks. Loved the video!
I didn't even realize you were British until you said it. I've heard so the accent consistently for years I forget there's a difference between American and British accents.
Honorable mentions - Hong Kong 97 (NES), one song..... no, one sentence looping over and over. - Doom 2 (Atari Jaguar), what soundtrack! - Beetlejuice (NES), cheery, upbeat music....... for a game about a Tim Burton dark comedy Disagreement - Just one, specifically Metal Man's stage from Mega Man 2 (GB), the high pitch caught me off guard and I just went with it, but it's certainly not better than the original.
I’d be surprised if Sonic Genesis isn’t on this- that game makes me want to burn my hearing canals out. Also the best music belongs to bad games. Tim Follin~ Sonic Chronicles has bad music but it’s nowhere near as painful as Sonic Genesis tbh How dare you disgrace the beauty of Trumpet Massacre. It’s scary! More specifically, scary about how someone could think it’s a good idea. How scary! CrazyBus was literally made with a random song generator, that’s why it sucks.
The genesis had an fm synth chip and a basic pulse generator inside, so that's why it sounds so distinctly weird. (On top of that, the chip--a YM2612--Had some weird ladder distortion going on.) All things considered, the Genesis' sound was Sega's fault for chasing fads (and cheaping out), and the composers did pretty well with what they were given. So there ya go, in case you need some reading material.
@@jamiedoesstuff5871 Ooooohhhhh, whoops, lol I didn't even know that's what it was called. So yeah, you're completely right, that game's audio was garbage. (Though also kinda the platform's fault, coincidentally)
It kind of annoys me when people bash the concept of a Sonic RPG of unfitting, as if the concept of a Mario RPG was any more fitting before Nintendo proved how good it could be. Like, imagine if the concept of a Mario RPG had been dismissed and not given a chance in the same way. That said, I wish the Sonic RPG we did get was a bit better... Maybe then it'd have gained some traction even without people giving it a chance.
easy sweet tooth shadow the edgehog prolly tohru adachi or goro akechi id say adachi joker perhaps he prolly doesnt count some mortal kombat characters doesnt matter really adachi takes the nr 1 spot
I would love to see you talk more about music in video games. This video was great. I'd like to see some of your favorite music in gaming, maybe dividing it up by year released or console generation, or franchise etc... Music is a very hard subject to tackle but you did a phenomenal job here. Thanks!
the RE entry actually reminded me of dino crisis and its soundtrack, wich simply gave the impression that the composer didnt so much compose, as he had his cat running over the keyboard and piano a lot.
I thought you were going to start ripping into Yoshi's Story's Soundtrack. It may have been weird because it's essentially a single theme with different instrumentation, but it has created some... *amazing* things like Yo-Yo-Yoshi.
While I have played Ocarina or Majora's Mask with the sound on and do love the music in them, I don't tend to play games with the music on. I usually have whatever album I'm currently listening to on repeat and that's the sound track. Majora's Mask is so much more interesting with No Jacket Required on a bit to loud.
I'll never understand how the Yoshi games fluctuate so wildly in quality. On one hand, you have the phenomenal Yoshi's Island and the Woolly and Crafted World games. On the other hand, you have Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's New Island.
I mean tbf with Sonic Chronicles, who knew that Mario would make a great RPG? But it was, and continues to be, that's probably what Sega was thinking with Sonic Chronicles I'm sure.
"...the further you go back into the history of video games, the worse the music generally gets" Adventure Island 1 through 3. Adventures of Lolo, Megaman 1 through 6, Mario 1, Mario 3, Bubble Bobble, Air Fortress, Balloon Fight, Batman: Return of the Joker, Blaster Master, Bucky O Hare, Castlevania 1 through 3, Clash at Demonhead, Darkwing Duck, Felix the Cat, Joy Mech Fight, Kid Icarus, Kirby's Adventure, Battletoads, Metal Storm, Nightmare on Elm Street, Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2, River City Ransom. All of those games (and many more I am currently unable to remember at the moment) are examples of games with *good music* especially given the limitations of the time. [Sees Megaman II on the list] Excusemewhatthefuck? What most people don't seem to understand about the soundtrack of Megaman II is that the composers had *absolutely no experience* with the Gameboy. They knew what music they *wanted* to make but due to lack of experience and different limitations what we got is the result.
Since you studied music and even wanted to be a composer, I have an Idea: Rabbidluigi's Top 5 Favorite Video Game Music Tracks. Not whole soundtracks, individual songs. Good luck trying to pick out your favorites.
The guy who they got to do the music for the Resident Evil Dual Shock Edition was a fraud who used a ghost writer to compose everything for him, and was unable to get in contact with his ghost writer in time for when the music was due, so he had to try to actually compose music for once.
Ah, Sonic Chronicles had so much potential. I liked the battle system and story and found myself wishing for a proper Chao Garden. What a terrible shame.
A RUclipsr replaced the instrumentation for the Basement theme but kept the notes intact. It actually now sounds like a horror theme. So, from what I could infer, somewhere down the line, someone replaced all the instrumentation with the trumpet sound right before they put the music into the game. Maybe that person wanted to see if the composer was actually deaf and did it as a test.
I remember watching those original soundtrack videos... good times, good times... ( suddenly realize that those videos came out roughly eight years ago...) I feel old now...
I'm very glad that i played Sonic Chronicles a lot as a kid. It means the music gives me more nostalgia than a headache. The sound effects though... good god...

I had fun with the game and I would like to see someone try to remake it, but the soundtrack really was just crappy noodling.
Jerome Robinson To me the game in general was a huge disappointment especially since I think a Sonic RPG could’ve worked
"...and hopefully, not fucking awful" such wisdom was given in here
I do legitimately love the save room theme for the director's cut. Its peaceful bliss was a nice inversion of the uncertain tone of the last version, though I love that one too..... and yeah that's about it. Did I mention the director's cut was the first version I played... shame because I love the new auto aim feature and mode that changes item location. There's good things, but the soundtrack is a BIG sticking point.
That mansion basement theme is what you hear when the awkward friend tries to tell a joke
What Rabbid was afraid of: "Dude, why are you making music related content".
My reaction to to this video: "Dude , please make more music related content"!
7:56 "Everyone remembers the music used in Ocarina of Time's Forest Temple right ?"
Ah yes, I do, it's that track that goes "EH REH"
14:34 lmfao you outdid yourself again, you absolute madman. great vid/list as usual
Happy Easter, Will!
*beginning of the video*
Man, this is gonna hurt my ears.
*End of the video*
Glad that's over...wish I could still hear though.
It makes sense that these soundtracks are terrible since none of them have rabbidluigi's voice
Didn't know you had a background in music! Would love to see more stuff like this. Also towards the end I was JUST starting to think "hey he didn't do the subscribe gag he always does" and then THAT happened.
Justice League Task Force for the SNES has beautiful music for each stage that fits their personality.
Justice League Task Force for the Sega Genesis as far as I can tell has random techno tracks that randomly pick themselves before each fight.
I will give it this, though, the Intro theme is awesome and the Snes doesn't even have an Intro
The music from 1942 for NES is notoriously terrible, but then the company that converted it (Micronics) was rumoured to be just one Japanese student with a lot of spare time.
I work in sales and I need a good additude before i walk into the office and i always watch a rabbidluigi episode to put me in a really neutral state of mind so I can choose to have a little hop in my step. Thanks for being apart of my morning
I love video game soundtracks. They're so many great and memorable music throughout the history of video games especially the old school ones. Hell even in some bad games like sonic 06 and megaman X6 can have such amazing music. Thank goodness that I have never heard these (well now I have but I meant in the past. I'll probably going to need to hear some good music to get these out of my head now.)
The Mansion Basement theme will never fail to make me giggle like a fucking loon

Top Five Most Disturbing Features in (Horror) Games
Top 5 Games That Consistently Reward You For Playing Them. Whole franchises can count as one entry.
1.- I really enjoyed this. As someone who is son to an artist teacher and that studied singing a... couple... of years ago, I find it fascinating how your musical knowledge can influence your abilities to tell apart how awful can a soundtrack be and give it a better analysis than most tend to do.
2.- As a Venezuelan myself, I find it sad that this list was topped by a "game" made in here. When you do a "Top Five Best Soundtracks in Videogames", please know that there is a Venezuelan game with a really good soundtrack called VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. Also the game itself is good.
3.- I recommend doing a Top Five Games made in Latin America. Trust me, there are plenty of good games made in Latin America. Long Gone Days (Chile) and -11 Hall-A (Venezuela) are good example of this (there are plenty of good games made in México), it's all just a matter of digging up names and much searching... there's even a game made in Uruguay that's exclusive to the PSVita.
I am so glad Crazy Bus is #1 on this list XD oh man it almost feels like an homage to the Angry Video Game Nerd with that, and the NES Terminator soundtrack at the very end. Both equally terrible soundtracks. Loved the video!
I didn't even realize you were British until you said it. I've heard so the accent consistently for years I forget there's a difference between American and British accents.
Honorable mentions
- Hong Kong 97 (NES), one song..... no, one sentence looping over and over.
- Doom 2 (Atari Jaguar), what soundtrack!
- Beetlejuice (NES), cheery, upbeat music....... for a game about a Tim Burton dark comedy
Disagreement
- Just one, specifically Metal Man's stage from Mega Man 2 (GB), the high pitch caught me off guard and I just went with it, but it's certainly not better than the original.
the outro scared me lmao
My thoughts on this list:
Number 5: OW MY EARS!
Number 4: OW MY EARS!
Number 3: OW MY EARS!
Number 2: OW MY EARS!
Number 1: OW MY EARS!
I’d be surprised if Sonic Genesis isn’t on this- that game makes me want to burn my hearing canals out.
Also the best music belongs to bad games. Tim Follin~
Sonic Chronicles has bad music but it’s nowhere near as painful as Sonic Genesis tbh
How dare you disgrace the beauty of Trumpet Massacre. It’s scary! More specifically, scary about how someone could think it’s a good idea. How scary!
CrazyBus was literally made with a random song generator, that’s why it sucks.
The genesis had an fm synth chip and a basic pulse generator inside, so that's why it sounds so distinctly weird. (On top of that, the chip--a YM2612--Had some weird ladder distortion going on.)
All things considered, the Genesis' sound was Sega's fault for chasing fads (and cheaping out), and the composers did pretty well with what they were given.
So there ya go, in case you need some reading material.
Gunnie Sonic Genesis is a gba game haha i like the sound of the sega mega drive!
@@jamiedoesstuff5871
Ooooohhhhh, whoops, lol
I didn't even know that's what it was called. So yeah, you're completely right, that game's audio was garbage.
(Though also kinda the platform's fault, coincidentally)
Sonic 1,2+3 are the only good sonic games
British accents are a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms.
It kind of annoys me when people bash the concept of a Sonic RPG of unfitting, as if the concept of a Mario RPG was any more fitting before Nintendo proved how good it could be. Like, imagine if the concept of a Mario RPG had been dismissed and not given a chance in the same way.
That said, I wish the Sonic RPG we did get was a bit better... Maybe then it'd have gained some traction even without people giving it a chance.
Top 5 psychopath characters in gaming.

I would love to see you talk more about music in video games. This video was great. I'd like to see some of your favorite music in gaming, maybe dividing it up by year released or console generation, or franchise etc... Music is a very hard subject to tackle but you did a phenomenal job here. Thanks!
Top five guilty pleasure games.
this is my favorite top 5/10/whatever list channel i wish you posted more ;(
the RE entry actually reminded me of dino crisis and its soundtrack, wich simply gave the impression that the composer didnt so much compose, as he had his cat running over the keyboard and piano a lot.
Top ten games that get progressively better the more you play them
This opening music is just giving me Mario Party/fruit basket full of wasps flashbacks
I thought you were going to start ripping into Yoshi's Story's Soundtrack. It may have been weird because it's essentially a single theme with different instrumentation, but it has created some... *amazing* things like Yo-Yo-Yoshi.
While I have played Ocarina or Majora's Mask with the sound on and do love the music in them, I don't tend to play games with the music on. I usually have whatever album I'm currently listening to on repeat and that's the sound track. Majora's Mask is so much more interesting with No Jacket Required on a bit to loud.
The messed up outro music is a nice touch.
Best facial expression in the thumbnail yet!

Top Five Penultimate Boss Battles
Top 5 bad games in otherwise good franchises.
I KNEW CRAZY BUS WOULD BE ON THIS LIST. YES
Clowns farting in the basement
5:01 Ah yes, Baba Yetu from Civilization 4 is one of the greatest songs of any video game, even if its lyrics stemmed from a prayer in Swahili.
Rabbidluigi: *Complains about Yoshi's New Island sountrack*
Yoshi's Crafted World and it's 12 ear-piecing songs: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
I like the megaman’s music, it doesn’t even have to be lower, it just can’t give a wholesome sound
To me the worst soundtrack is more of a general set of rules than a specific choice, and it's this:
* Doesn't bear repeating much.
* Repeats loads.
Doom 32x should be at least on an updated list. The whole soundtrack consists of god damn farts. I'm not joking.
I'll never understand how the Yoshi games fluctuate so wildly in quality. On one hand, you have the phenomenal Yoshi's Island and the Woolly and Crafted World games.
On the other hand, you have Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's New Island.
Suggestion: Top 5 cringiest video game ships (or best ships, but I'd rather listen to British snark about cringy relationships)
I'm interested on what made you think of this topic.
And how obsessed fanboys/girls will overreact :)
Would ship arguments count? Cause the Shadrouge vs Knuxrouge ship battles of the past just.. eugh, I left it in the past for a reason.
Fire Emblem would dominate the list. It has enough thousand-year-old dragons that look twelve for a lifetime and a half.
@@browncoatkevin It has 3. Tiki (who grows up in Awakening,) Fae (who doesn'thave any romantic supports as far as I'm aware,) and Nowi. That's it.
Nice list, 1942 - "flying" should be an honorable mention considering it only uses one note, and that note is a high pitched beep
I mean tbf with Sonic Chronicles, who knew that Mario would make a great RPG? But it was, and continues to be, that's probably what Sega was thinking with Sonic Chronicles I'm sure.
Sega was intending for it to be a series, but copyright issues and time constraints created a buggy mess, that is still a guilty pleasure to me.
Great video as always.
Top ten games where your decisions matter.

Sorry but that Robotnik looks high as a fucking satellite.

Top 10 or 5 games with the best boss battles. Games that have not one or two good bosses, but almost ALL of then are good bosses
6:04 damn I did not expect this crossover with TES
"...the further you go back into the history of video games, the worse the music generally gets"
Adventure Island 1 through 3. Adventures of Lolo, Megaman 1 through 6, Mario 1, Mario 3, Bubble Bobble, Air Fortress, Balloon Fight, Batman: Return of the Joker, Blaster Master, Bucky O Hare, Castlevania 1 through 3, Clash at Demonhead, Darkwing Duck, Felix the Cat, Joy Mech Fight, Kid Icarus, Kirby's Adventure, Battletoads, Metal Storm, Nightmare on Elm Street, Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2, River City Ransom. All of those games (and many more I am currently unable to remember at the moment) are examples of games with *good music* especially given the limitations of the time.
[Sees Megaman II on the list]
Excusemewhatthefuck?
What most people don't seem to understand about the soundtrack of Megaman II is that the composers had *absolutely no experience* with the Gameboy. They knew what music they *wanted* to make but due to lack of experience and different limitations what we got is the result.
09:46 Oi, you got a license for that knoife?
Since you studied music and even wanted to be a composer, I have an Idea: Rabbidluigi's Top 5 Favorite Video Game Music Tracks. Not whole soundtracks, individual songs. Good luck trying to pick out your favorites.
"The crazy bus soundtrack is one of the most remarkable things I've ever heard." Well put.
The guy who they got to do the music for the Resident Evil Dual Shock Edition was a fraud who used a ghost writer to compose everything for him, and was unable to get in contact with his ghost writer in time for when the music was due, so he had to try to actually compose music for once.
Top 5 most awkward rabbidluigi thumbnails.
The Basement Theme is the true man's "awkward situation" tune.
Ah, Sonic Chronicles had so much potential. I liked the battle system and story and found myself wishing for a proper Chao Garden. What a terrible shame.
Top Five bizarre game concepts that actually blew expectations?
#1 Mario + Rabbids.
Heavy: "Not big soup-rice."
A RUclipsr replaced the instrumentation for the Basement theme but kept the notes intact. It actually now sounds like a horror theme. So, from what I could infer, somewhere down the line, someone replaced all the instrumentation with the trumpet sound right before they put the music into the game. Maybe that person wanted to see if the composer was actually deaf and did it as a test.
Could you link to that video instead of just talking about it.
Didn't know you were a musician. You have any works you'd be willing to put out there? Because now I'm kinda curious.
I remember watching those original soundtrack videos... good times, good times... ( suddenly realize that those videos came out roughly eight years ago...) I feel old now...
That basement theme sounds like it's straight out of earthbound
I've always lived by the words "A game can be as bad as it wants to, but it's hard to fuck up the music".
I'm very glad that i played Sonic Chronicles a lot as a kid. It means the music gives me more nostalgia than a headache. The sound effects though... good god...
In the past, if a game had bad music, I couldn't find myself to finish it without it muted.
