Counting was never so horrifying. to get a better breakdown, watch this! • Sonic 1 - Drowning - O... for you Sonic.exe fans, • Sonic.exe (Original Game) 2:55
Honestly, for only 4 beats repeating faster and faster each turn, it is truly the most terrifying experience. SEGA definitely knew how to put their players under high pressure (unlike Mario who can stay under water literally forever)
Not for me for some reason… Don't ask why idk why it doesn't scare me Maybe cuz I already saw Sonic.exe and knew what it meant… I knew that I'll be able to freely destroy the Sonic.exe disc
I remember hearing this for the first time when I was seven... I was just casually trying to get myself out of my watery predicament when I heard the first couple of notes suddenly roll in and... let me tell ya... by that time... I had never felt so anxious playing an old school game in my life. . . ...but despite the pressure I was under, and the fumbles of my thumb on the Xbox 360 analog stick, I thankfully survived to describe to you the relief I felt and how I actually had to pause the game just to depressurize before I continued playing... If I could describe the feeling... It is like crawling out of a hole to oblivion right before you lost your grip and rolling over on the grass and just bathing in the sun and relishing in your achievement...
It’s the edition of the countdown that always gets me in games. I am a very slow thinker but what always gets me moving is a time limit. Seeing the countdown paired with this completely new theme really messed me up and made me drown way more often. I think this is how I got thalassophobia lol
I like how a hedgehog that can move faster than a airplane or the fastest land animal can breath underwater for only 30 seconds but a plumber who only has ability’s from a flower/mushroom etc. can breath underwater for an indefinite amount of time until the later games
I can't believe this single 10 second piece of music can make me more tense then some other games' tension/suspense music, it's just the feeling that it's going down fast and the sound that increases in volume and speed makes me more an more anxious as i try to get out of the water as fast as posible, it makes me stressful :(

You know, in Sonic 2, in the versus mode, if one of the players gets left behind and the other finishes first, the other player will have a countdown. When it reaches about 20 seconds left, the drowning theme will play. The player then has to get to the finish before the timer runs out or they Time Out. But I don't think anyone plays. Sonic 2 versus mode anymore, do they...?
I remember playing this and I had a heart attack when this drowning music appeared out of nowhere in emerald hill zone. I thought it was glitch or smth at first
For Chemical Plant Zone, trying not to drown in the game is easy. On the Mobile version. So, to those kids, that suffered from that part in Chemical Plant. Here are the basic steps. Once you've entered the chemical water zone, you need to time perfectly as the platforms move. After that, you need to jump right after the platforms go right. As the platforms move, you need to time on to get the small platforms. Once you get on the small platforms, wait for the platforms to go up. Then jump as you get on the next platform, then jump on the last FEW platforms BEFORE you even drown, there you go, I guess.
@@masterluke1986 Honestly? You don't even need to do that, as there's a left wall nearby that you can go through to skip that part entirely. Of course, I tend to just use the incline just before it as a ramp to spindash and jump off of, also skipping that section.
literally i never knew why people were so scared of the drowning music, for me i would listen to it and before it finished i would jump out of the water, like the music isn't scary its actually really good.
I played Sonic 2 when i was younger, and now that I'm back into the series, I was wondering if the anxiety we felt hearing that music was the same way Sonic felt from panic.
I also have a weird scary story: I was in music class and we made a song that song that sounded like this and then I saw a scary movie that sink exe was in there
Man I wish I could feel at least once the true terror that crawls on my back when hearing the drowning the theme the first time. Unfortunately, I became a Sonic fan when I was 17….
1:46 this audio just gives me PTSD. Sega knew what they were doing when they made that audio. The beat is good alone But when playing and hearing the music in-game is terrifying.
when I hear this reached sound my heart immediately starts racing and I start getting anxiety and it takes me like 15 minutes to forget all of my childhood thoughts and decisions i don't know how else to explain this horrifying music
Imagine if every time you’re about to die this music plays and you cannot do anything. Imagine: you’re walking on the street and see a guy in the distance, when you approach the music starts playing and he pick up a gun
It's not, it was originally from Sonic the Hedgehog in 1991 Sonic.exe appeared at least 15-20 years after that. Sonic.exe games used the drowning theme as it was considered pretty scary at the time
I have always felt like the three soft chimes that preceed the drowning theme don't get enough credit. Once you know about the drowning theme, the soft chimes can be just as anxienty inducing. They're the warning before the warning.
This is really scarry to hear in the og sonic games but comparing this to the more modern games where there's a harsh orchestra literally yelling get out the water isnt that bad
Sonic Colors is my 2nd favorite version. That's a good rendition. The adventure version is jarring at first, but it sounds like synthetic instruments and gets ridiculous as it speeds up. To my ears, it breaks the mood.
This theme plays whenever I’m in the water for too long, especially if I’m fully submerged. But on a day where I almost drowned, it was playing in my ears, loud as hell, in all the worst ways. The beats were instead xylophone and trumpets (sounded pretty catchy but when I was drowning it sounded like it had to do with skeletons).
I remember modding Doom3 to have Star Wars sounds to help soothe the ambience. Hearing familiar blaster noises helped in killing those floating baby things and the spiders. I HATED the spiders.
Imagine yourself scrambling for air as your breath shortens, the music intensifies as you run about trying to get that sweet sweet air bubble. And if you fail...you drown, as water fills your lungs, leaving you to be claimed by the depths of a labyrinth.
I find it starts well, but then it simply speeds up without real buildup, and ths speeding up is literally just fast forwarding rather than any musical acceleration, but musical taste has a big part to play in how one responds.
I played sonic as a kid and until today the game gives me panic attacks when it comes to levels with water and this is the reason I can't stand water in my face or even go deeper than waiste.
after watching this entire video This makes me think that if you don't escape from water or find a bubble before the theme stops and the timer is down to 0 you die in real life.......
The devs have a good beat to give people a heart attack tho It like can warn you that death is ahead it’s like something is going at you full speed It’s like when you see something in the woods *it’s when you experience death* That’s what this music is about
i wasnt born early enough to play the og sonics but my parents got me a sega mini something console with build in sega games, including 4 different sonics. when i got to chemical plant zone, i remember being like 15 but still getting anxious over the "drowning drowning sinking sinking" XD. when i drowned i just turned off the console and never tried to beat any sonic again. i might try to get another mini collection console like that, and try my best at beating all the different sonic games
I remember when I was about 7 my parents found a sega for me for Christmas and had gotten sonic on it and when I first heard the sound I was generally terrified and almost started crying because I knew sonic was going to drown and I covered my eyes and my mom just looked at me like you good bro?
I had a bad reaction to the bad ending of Knuckles Chaotix when my parents got me the 32x for my 10th birthday. It's Metal Sonic Kai (the giant red one with huge fangs) hovering over the blazing city with a horrible music of hell sound while the credits rolled. Mom might've questioned getting it for me. That was my first encounter with a bad ending.
I like Drowning Sonic music and one of my favorite Death Scene Animations is Drowning and imagine if Legend of Zelda had drowning music as Link drowns oh that would be so terrifying.
Make no mistake: the drowning theme is thematically scary as hell, but I would argue that Mother Brain's theme from Metroid NES is scarier. It sounds as if you are being digested in somebody's stomach acids!!
When I started playing Sonic 2 when I was about 7, I didn't know what was to come. Like you, Emerald Hill was chill. Almost like Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1. When Chemical Plant rolled around, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. That was before I encountered the Drowning Theme. Funnily enough, I've never once drowned in Sonic

Yes! I wish I could have used something like that- it would have been absolutely perfect. It really drives home that steady high string crescendo that makes the original version arguably the best.

You're not alone. The best way to conquer fear is to not run away from it. Swim toward it. (Just use the shallow side to start.)
