The funny thing about the Pokemon Black and White 2 sample is that it itself was sampled from another DS Game, The World Ends with You Specifically the track Dancer in the Street

[@ThePortalDark]

for the Sonic Chronicles' case was mostly cuz apparently, the entire OST and sound effects were deleted right before the final release was deployed. So they had to make the new music from scratch by memory AND use a lot of stock sound effects

[@StarnyArt]

Wait, are you for real? Do you have a source for that?

[@ThePortalDark]

@@StarnyArt i think the comment got delete it Just google how the sonic chronicles dev went in music

[@xamp_exclammark]

A lot of the ost in sonic chronicles is actually remixes of older Sonic music ,though there are original compositions

[@MythicMachina]

With how Sonic CD JP soundtrack is like the most hip-hip/funk soundtrack ever, i'm suprised that people haven't used more samples from it. All you would need to do put the "HUEHUEHUE!" from Stardust Speeday and watch people lose their minds! Unless someone has and I just have no idea.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

[@M4N14C4L]

I got an ad when that happened

[@validcache]

[@Nightcaat]

4:50 The gasp is most likely a stock sound effect, so it may not necessarily be sampled from Brawl. The Melee gasp was used in the FNAF movie

[@Copperkaiju]

I hear that sound clip everywhere. It reminds me of those sounds that filmmakers put in their movies like the Wilhelm Scream. You hear it so often it becomes like a meme.

[@dr.mantistobogganiii1730]

So 18:00 is also sampled from the Mexican High School Musical & Pokémon Black and White 2 first came from The World Ends With You in the song "Dancer in The Street". The World Ends With You released in 2007, High School Musical released in 2008 and BW2 released in 2012.

[@rhythmtengokutweezers9857]

The sample is also present in the song "Wings" by Hikaru Utada at around 3:53. (I'm pretty sure that song was released in 2006, so it did not come from The World Ends With You. I looked it up, too and I'm pretty sure it came from a sample CD)

[@FleDark10]

It's also in some Tom & Jerry episode

​​​​​​@@rhythmtengokutweezers9857It's from a virtual instrument Plug-in called Stylus RMX made by Spectrasonics, the same company who made this 16:58 as seen in the video.

6:40 THERE IT IS FUNNY DK SOUND

[@adamkampen]

OOOOH

[@yokaiwatcher8500]

This isn’t a actually taking a sample from a game, but a lot of Danganronpa music is created using samples, and those samples pop up every once in a while in weird places. Namely, one SpongeBob special episode theme (I think it was truth of square, but don’t quote me) uses one of the same samples as the song Mr. Monokumas Lesson. That’s the only specific example i know, although i’ve seen over the years that the fan base always posts something if they recognize the sample.

[@havvomusic]

a lot of danganronpa samples are from garageband and logic loops, like the vocals in the menu for ultra despair girls are called cody lyric 7 or something. rabbithole goes deep

When it comes to video games sampling songs, Pizza Tower had a lot of samples from 80s and 90s musics. One unique example that people have found came from the Noise Update. The song "World Wide Noise" has a breakdown that samples "Chang it Up" from Ace of Spades

[@gigabyte6614]

It was actually found on a site that suggests entirely random songs, niche to famous

[@yungbrownie]

[@neorv5149]

The Mexican High School Musical one actually reminded me of "Dancer In The Street" from The World Ends With You first rather than B2/W2 since I'm more familiar with that track. Makes me wonder what sample pack they used and how much they changed from the original sources. Real interesting coincidences!

[@BinglesP]

If you don't mind heavier songs, BMTH tends to sample songs. Not only do they open their song "Shadow Moses" with a sample from MGS, as the title implies, "r.i.p. (duskcore remix)" has a small sample on the bridge and "Parasite Eve" was inspired by a game of the same name. I'm sure there are way more that I missed. Fans more obsessed with the band than I will easily tell you

[@Day100]

I produce music for fun and never post online because I just enjoy the process itself and don't want the rest of it. I love recognizing things in others work and love mangling a sample to fit what I want it for or stumbling into something different. So many of those noises are turned into unrecognizable things you can't trace back easily too. The only thing I wished you did in this video was shout out the known producers who made those beats. They deserve more credit. But thank you for pointing some out and bringing some of those easter eggs to others attention.

[@felipe9711]

Hey there're some brazilian songs that sampled videogame musics: Yun Li - Syphon Filter (Forest Interlude - DKC2) Yun Li - Diamantes e Peixes (Corridors of Time - Chrono Trigger) MC Livinho - Retrato (Interlude - FFVII)
