[@ultralordking]

the calming sounds from the menu actually scared the shit out of me as a kid. because it was almost too calm, like something was gonna pop out and scare the crap out of you.

[@TriggerMetry]

agreed

[@PrinceVegetaBrief]

It's just disturbing, like the regular PS2 startup

[@TDETS2]

I have my Gamecube for more than 10 years and i didn't know about the funny startup sound's. i have no words for this!

[@TheEasterEggHunter]

TobiasDoesETS2 Well you know what to do then, get that Gamecube on :)

[@TDETS2]

i already did but for the final startup i need 4 controllers i have only 3 so i have to find another one

[@andrewpaul2716]

+TobiasDoesETS2 Jokes one you, you could just press both the L and R buttons to get the same tune. Found this out while playing Luigi's Mansion. The Original.

[@TDETS2]

Allright thanks ;-)

[@andrewpaul2716]

TobiasDoesETS2 No problem.

[@hldm2850]

Wow, I did the second one by accident when I was little. I got scared cuz I thought someone was in my tv.

[@TheVCubeSolver]

XD So funny

[@Charminglizard8]

SV556 ugh u don’t get it

[@jordycomic144]

@SV556 he said 2nd not third

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I had no idea! This video is so cool!

[@philliphandshoe4801]

Well hi metal jesus. 7 years later lmao. 🤣😭

[@D4nkfury]

I never knew about that third startup sound

[@oliviashearer]

Hi! I was strolling through the comments because I didn't know what it was either. Anyways apparently it's from this game called Eternal Darkness. :)

[@PaXCrew100]

Omg, I was so freaked out on the first sound when I first encountered it without knowing in 2001. I thought my GameCube was possessed xD

[@Borderlands2iscool]

Paxlux ThaRocka omfg same i started crying xD

[@metalstargaming4662]

I just love the cube

[@chazcross9209]

***** that was my child hood

[@hyperIight]

The Gameboy Advance was amazing too. But GameCube was and still is my favorite console. My favorite game was metroid which is my favorite game of all time.

[@kaidendickerson7544]

Actually the GBA is bacicly a portable SNES Witch makes it 10 times more awsome.

[@hyperIight]

kaiden Dickerson Indeed

[@bren7080]

The first game I ever played was Super Mario Sunshine! (Yes, I am young. So what? Want to fight about i-)

[@itzben9055]

Roses are red violets are blue I love the Gamecube and so do you

[@TheEasterEggHunter]

Some of the best days i ever had as a gamer.

[@laurenblahblah8554]

The main menu music of the GameCube always scared me when I was little.. I have no idea why but when I turned it on I pretty much panicked to start the game so I wouldn't have to hear the music.. I was like 6 though..

[@GameDjeenie]

I find it relaxing. I could sleep to this calming music. :)

[@dinklemcwinkle]

when did you get your gamecube

[@Screenments]

ikr same here i dont know why...

[@infinitygames9317]

I don't remember the startup sounds

[@infinitygames9317]

Battlegroundgamer Plays I meant the menu

[@NyanXiaoKitten]

There's one thing I remembered, if you start the gamecube you can spin it around with your joysyick and kind of play with the startup a little and if you spend it around too much it'll take you straight to the menu screen

[@Matthew28845]

Holding A works

[@BombsOvaStPete]

Man that GameCube intro just makes me feel good! Didn't have a ton of great games, but got the job done. The Metroid Primes and the Zelda's were top shelf! Great video!

[@MetallicStar6]

The way made the gamecube main menu fast sounds it should be a zelda song

[@Vojingamer]

It's Famicom startup sound

[@LilShootDawg]

The startup normal sound is straight from Smooth Criminal kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKTEh3Wgl7WljtU

[@JadenYukifan28]

@It's Vojin! I should have realized that the first time I heard it, but it was so slow that I couldn't tell...even though I have never even played on the FAMICOM at all.....

[@jongustafson7655]

I freaking love the gamecube

[@kaylathemerpykitteh7664]

Wait what's that tune at the end that Nintendo has been hiding >.< grrr it's so familiar

[@HazeyKaze]

That my friend would be Kazumi Totaka's Song also known as the main creator for the Gamecube.

[@deborahaldrich1553]

Zach King so not true! that dosent sound anything like Totaka's song

[@deborahaldrich1553]

it's the japan super nintendo startup tune! I think (by nwwe Ted)

[@TorutheRedFox]

Deborah Aldrich Its a FDS Famicom Disk System startup theme.The FDS was an addon for the famicom sold only in japan..If you dont know what a Famicom is..Its a japanese version of the NES which was released 2 years BEFORE the launch of the NES..

[@looshkinthecatgamer5505]

The LBP + MC HERO!!!!! We meet again...

[@Weebinem]

Actually, Gamecube did have the best graphics card of it's generation, but it had very limited disk space so it wasn't able to use it to it's full potential

[@oreoking360]

When I first got my Gamecube and I was like 3 or 4 when I heard the sound that played when you flip into the menu if you don't have a disc in it scared the living hell out of me and the music scared me when you were in the menu oh god it was so traumatic

[@omegawindrider4938]

OMG I'm the only one. I remember starting up my gamecube late at night, and forgetting there was no game in it it switch to the menu I was scared as hell.

[@joeesposito3968]

When I first start up my gamecube the default music scares me I don't know why but I feel if I'm alone in a room something is gonna kill me.

[@nandinmaster]

Yes, I'M NOT ALONE!!!

[@angryrussianhd2470]

I thought it was just me lol

[@sonatadusk9]

Thank God it was someone else too...

[@JTread2003]

This is really nostalgic, I remember watching it when it first came out. I’m 18 now I must have been about 9. Wow. Also I’m glad he’s still making videos

[@terenciogamer]

why does that third sound sound like naruto

[@lightning-assassin6434]

Yessss

[@OfficialRetroPlayCast]

0:00 only og fans remember this intro

Gamecube has the best crash I've ever seen, crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex

That one sucks ass what are you talking about

[@ajsapphireville]

This was one of the first videos that I found on your channel back in 2015.

[@chessyman1001]

So glad I still have my gamecube.

[@TheVCubeSolver]

So glad my friend's cousin still had his gamecube, then gave it to my friend, who then gave it to me.

[@hellpupash]

Just found your channel while looking for Halo 2 easter eggs. and I have to say, you have some mighty fine and entertaining videos my friends.

[@xJC4Rx]

uh..the gamecube was the most powerful console of its generation.

[@Tyler-yb3yc]

Exactly!

[@Tyler-yb3yc]

David Playz Gamez EXACTLY!

[@CringeHunterJon1]

(yes I know I'm late) I have no idea from where this idea that the Gamecube is powerful comes. Xbox has almost twice the RAM, more than twice the CPU power, and about twice the GPU power. (Gamecube is my favorite console, it's just that the Xbox was by far the most powerful console of that generation)

[@CamMojave]

No, the Xbox Original was :(

[@1Sonicsky1]

@@CringeHunterJon1 I know that this is old... However, the GameCube's CPU was more powerful than the Xbox's. Sure, the CPU of the Xbox was 733Mhz but it only had a 1.06GB/s FSB with a small 32Kbit L1 and 128Kbit L2 cache (basically a glorified Celeron CPU with the PIII architecture). The IBM CPU in the Gamecube was 485Mhz but had a 1.6GB/s FSB and two 32 Kbit L1 caches (1 for data and 1 for instructions) and a 256Kbit L2 cache. The IBM CPU was heavily geared toward 3D gaming and had SIMD instructions toward that end. The GPUs had very similar performance however, as both had a realistic rendering fillrate of around 600-700 Megapixels/sec. The Xbox had to share the 64MB of DDR ram across the CPU and GPU. The Gamecube had a dedicated 3MB on-chip SRAM for the GPU and 40MB of ram for the rest of the system. Basically, the GameCube was fairly powerful and made up for the slower CPU and GPU by optimization of the instruction sets and increasing the bandwidth of the data buses.

[@dotcomGone]

wow, i'm pretty surprised! as a developer, it's common that you throw in a reference to older projects etc in places that aren't generally appreciable by someone outside of the development project, but the famicom startup sound is a nice hidden gem!

[@pinkkirbyhd7342]

The startup creeps me out

[@rubymay43]

That's what I like about you Chipsturs :) You're always kind to your fans, never make them feel bad if they're wrong. Keep making awesome videos buddy :D

[@poineapple3430]

When I was 7 my childhood consisted of Luigis Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine on my gamecube Super mario 64 and Goldeneye on my n64

[@poineapple3430]

Then when I was almost 10 it consisted of Gta San Andreas and Hitman Blood Money on my aunts ps2

[@bronyderp3376]

When he sped it up was weird and it was creepy to me

[@nintendude7cubed]

I can't believe its 2012 and i'm still finding new things out about my gamecube. I always found it to be an overall mysterious console after learning the z button trick a good year or so after getting the console, but wow, the menu music thing is just unbelievable.

[@luigimcdingle1951]

I got a Gamecube just so that I could play Super Smash Brothers Melee. :D I'm also thinking about getting an NES so I can play the original.

[@bren7080]

Zackary Oravec Pfft, they're generally the same thing. Except one is 8-bit and the other is 64-bit.

[@bren7080]

Zackary Oravec You live in a world where you CAN'T do those things? What sorcery is this?

[@bren7080]

Zackary Oravec I know there is a fucking huge difference between them. I was being fucking sarcastic, dammit.

[@bren7080]

Zackary Oravec It was sarcasm. Get a sense of humor, you dummkopf. (I'm not a moron. I know that the NES is different from the N64. If I didn't, I wouldn't be having this fight.)

[@bren7080]

Zackary Oravec Also, don't get cocky. You're wrong in every aspect.

[@MylosPlaysGames]

Suggested by KZbin, and it was a great suggestion. I was one of the people who know about the 3 different start up sounds, but the famicom one was new to me.

[@alex7086]

Its spherical!

[@syrelian]

Interesting fact, in Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, when you turn on Grodus's Computer on the Moon Base, it ALSO plays the Famicom Startup

[@MrRetroNick]

Some very cool Easter eggs, the last one is very well hidden. Excellent video as always James.

[@JordiumZ]

This intro is a classic to me

[@TheEasterEggHunter]

Haha! fun times.

[@GETCHOAMMO]

Man,all these years i had a gamecube and never knew about these features. Awesome!

[@TegridyElite]

It's funny Chipsturs, whenever I read a comment of yours, It's like I can read it exactly how you would say it. you have a rather unique way of talking and its very entertaining when watching your videos. Maybe you should take over for the Planet Earth Documentary series

[@OEDODRAGON]

I have no idea what that speeded up tune is..... it's not even familiar! I never knew those Easter Eggs existed! Neat!!

[@TheEasterEggHunter]

OEDODRAGON search on KZbin for the Nintendo Famicom Disk System start up tune :)

[@robertk3929]

weird.when i was watching your video,my computer froze and made a funny noise.I thought it was you.LOL

[@supernova4point0]

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I found it funny when he sped up the Gamecube menu screen and seeing the cube bounce up and down

[@MikeDragon]

Well, the ninja tune is quite fitting if you can manage to press Z on all the controllers at the same time all by yourself! Nonetheless, great video! :)

[@mariozeldaXL]

I was just amaziballsed... I have owned this console for as long as i can remember and i never knew of all this... you officially have a new subscriber :P

[@DJPhilanegro]

Holy crap, I never would've guessed the FDS theme was in there. Now THAT is one amazing easter egg.

[@Scootakip]

Congrats on 200K subs!

[@GamingNoobAidan]

That was awesome! Keep doing these videos James I love them!

[@trashcan4798]

The alternate startup sounds are scary af when you find them on accident and you don’t expect it

[@sailingwhisper149]

Haha i loved the famicom disk system one! It looked the like menu was dancing to the msuic! :D

[@100Darkspine]

Once when I was a kid, I activated the squeky start-up sound by accident and it scared the crap outta me :P Lets just say I had the volume all the way down whenever I started it back up for a solid 2 years

[@galaxystuff2799]

Such a huge fan, great video

[@pinkkirbyhd7342]

I love the feeling of being on the Gamecube so calming

[@Matthew97910]

Great work James :) Do you think you could do a Crash Bandicoot Easter egg Hunter video? I have lots of great memories playing those games back in the day :)

[@AndrewHaese]

Gonna get my GameCube tomorrow! $20 at some Collectable Store! I'm so excited!

[@stikenir8980]

I have every of the games you shown at 1:30. All these games we're awesome indeed.

[@capmodesty]

I didn't know about the third intro sound or the famicom music. That's pretty cool.

[@Garage_Cards66]

can you make a kirby vid, it may be hard but there are a couple like kirbys retern to dreamland hal room and the naked lady in return to dreamland 3

[@CSTSCharityEvent]

Sometimes if you plug in the controller in port one and rapidly press the A button while the intro plays, the cube in the intro will spin around. If you hold it down, it will take you to the menu.

[@23mustang32]

oh and the nostalgia hits again. good times with my old games they are still better than a lot of games out now

[@SammehMate]

Hey man! Been watching some of your videos and they are awesome! Can you make a video for SNES Easter eggs as there are many ;D thanks man!

[@finland3025]

Oh you can also hold A when you power it on And the cube will spin during the intro

[@IshioRamo]

I though that was pretty obvious since you put the hidden song just before the real one. Very good easter egg hunt btw

[@Darro85]

That third startup menu sound so reminds me of Goemon! Only knew about the Famicom disk one about an hour or so ago since someone mentioned it with a link in the All Gen Gamer Forums!

[@thunderguyer]

finally a european youtube channel.....oh btw I LOVE EASTER EGGS SO........i subscribed ;)

[@jacobshannon567]

i love the gamecube, and i cant believe that there are so many different easter eggs

[@16bitbrit]

I never knew about that second one, how insanely awesome!!

[@VoidTroopiez]

I remember the giggle from Diddy Kong Racing when the Rareware logo came in :D

[@ZPEntertainment]

O.M.G. Ok, I didn't know anything of the Famicom Disk System music... That's probably the reason why I love Nintendo so much... Not only because I had to play, enjoying and analyze their beatiful products in my life but also because they always like to put this childish, astonishing things in everything they make... everything... even a menu... Truly amazing.

[@triplesixmafia]

I wonder who discovered that the GameCube's main menu sound is the Famicom opening sound just slowed down to a huge, huge extent and especially HOW he did it. Did someone just turn on their system one day and say "Hmm... I'm gonna speed this menu music up" and it just so happened that he also knew what the Famicom startup music sounded like?

[@ravensquote7206]

The outro on this vid is amazing!

[@tali6844]

I remember I was obsessed with the gamecube, after I got one a few months ago, it died down, but those memories of searching and scrounging up stuff on the internet was amazing, and one more thing, I got the donkey kong country trilogy on the last day of the virtual console, I = LUCKY

[@Remolizzo]

Not to mention the Gamecube is INDESTRUCTIBLE. I've dropped mine countless times and it still works like a dream! I'm never selling it. It will go to college with me.

[@epithayadarcithia2117]

coming back here for the nostalgia of the old intro. I miss it sometimes

[@jonathanh7509]

It's the most powerful console, it did support online (Mario Kart) but had an obscure library of 3rd party games.

[@mattboy1152]

That ninja sound in the third intro is the sound effect from Pokemon Stadium in the log cutting minigame.

[@FlyItaliano]

How much does the editing software you used for the famicon song cost?

[@zeldadude857]

again james another great video!! ' good job

[@aezgarothdrakonis7105]

Great console! Great video! ^^

[@larsonashcroft]

my gamecube at the time was on the menu and when you started to play the menu music it matched PERFECTLY! LOL

[@PiercedJedi]

Nice, I knew about these except the disk system tune, but haven't got enough controllers to do #3

[@Iminzilion]

keep up your awesome work :D

[@TheRealLumpySpirit]

This is a easter egg that not many know of (unless you watch DidYouKnowGaming) There's a microscopic picture of a dolphin on a chip in the gamecube! Here's a link to the picture: www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2011/04/chipworks_6_660.jpg

[@BobbyBasketball19999]

Nikola Elitsov Yeah, It was called project dolphin and across many nintendo games on the gamecube you can find dolphins like in super smash sunshine and melee.

[@g_way]

What was the song from the end, when the menu music was sped up? It sounds extremely familiar.

[@MaxwellMontes]

the famicom disk system start up.

[@g_way]

Oh, cool, thanks!

[@TheGoldenM8]

Did you know:the dark circle write "Game Cube" in the top os customisable? You can remove the stamp and put other one,like a super mario sunshine or a donkey kong one,but its too expensive

[@MathWiz86]

What is the editing software you use, I couldn't really understand it

[@Robloxjhoo]

omg the end, u genius speeding this up

[@finnohare2270]

I got a black one, got Zelda, pikmin, and of course star wars: rouge leader. Do u think the NES sound is a coincidence, or purposefully put in there? My fav startup sound is the first one.

[@MobiusLeader007]

Rogue Leader For The Win!!

[@finnohare2270]

Agreed!

[@treeckolf]

you did do a review in portal right? that has awesome Easter eggs!

[@Pacca64]

Can't wait to do the tribal startup :3

[@GabeR7355]

the second tune with 1 z button held down is from donkey kong and the onewith all 4 is from a stage in a pokemon trivia game where the lickitungs must eat different types of sushi

[@FlyItaliano]

could i use it for just basic sound editing in my videos? also how easy is it to use?

[@tjlnintendo]

i have a lot of nostalgic memories with the game cube and i have to say...i wish my game cube wasnt broken yet i still have it

[@kaoken1153]

The ganecube is my absolute favorite console if all time. So many good memories and such classic games like 007 nightfire :).

[@kaoken1153]

Meant to say Gamecube ofcourse.

[@isaiass.j.2381]

I like ALL of your videos.And my uncle has the Game Cube

[@SpeedyKat]

there is this trick that if you put the game in the gamecube and play the intro while then press the A button it'll take you straight to the main menu. that's a trick i only knew when i used to have a gamecube.

[@electronash]

That "Ninja" type sound is an old Roland classic. It can be found on the JV-1080 synth with the Experience expansion card, as well as many other synths (may not have been Roland originally though). Interesting to hear it still doing the rounds. btw, weren't you Jay from The Inbetweeners? ;)

[@MrMakabroni]

oh god your picture scared the hell out of me XD
