Reach for the Stars (Sonic Colors) - GaMetal Ft. StudioNicktendo

[@StudioNicktendo]

This was a lot of fun! I really REALLY appreciate Jonny for asking me to be a part of this cover.

[@joeb5167]

You totally killed it! Your vocals are how I remembered the original song, but when I went back and listened, they weren't nearly as good as your rendition.

[@JonnyAtma]

And I appreciate you joining me for it!

[@VickiViperZabel]

sir your voice is ACTUALLY divine, to say you nailed it on this one is a strong understatement instant fan

[@ilikegames828]

you looked like you were having fun, I didn't hear about your channel until now but I'll check it out

[@volzschlittseyxkoopa-kid]

Señor Tendo! Should've cited this slapper as "Supernova the Stars," since you sent this song into SUPER SONIC STATUS; suppressing and strengthening the saccharine source with shots of the steely-Ga-sympatico, smokey-grit sweetness of your special guest singing SUPERIORITY! We salute you sir! Surely you shall serenade us again, soon? SUBSCRIBED!

[@ninstarjose]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! REACH FOR THE STARS COVER!!

[@ninstarjose]

I wanted to say, Sonic Colors was one and still one of my favorite Sonic Games, i played both DS and Wii versions, and it took me a lot of time to complete it, and to get Super Sonic on Wii, i still have the game and Wii console after so much time and i really appreciate all this fun i had playing this great game!

[@misterzygarde6431]

Regardless of your stance on Sonic Colors, we can all agree that as with the soundtracks of most other Sonic games, Colors has a banger of a Soundtrack

[@KingKayro87]

Yeah. Although I never really liked Reach for the Stars. It always felt like it was missing something crucial. This remix and the one from the Sonic Symphony Orchestra seem to have that something as I have no problems with those versions. The original, however, I just don't like for whatever reason.

[@Parapsyche]

@@KingKayro87 Perhaps the original is a little too far on the synth side to feel like a "Sonic song" with the precedent set by the soundtracks before it. Both new renditions have more of a rock touch to them, more reminiscent of Crush 40. Colors' soundtrack overall though is, in my opinion, a contender for the best in the series.

[@KingKayro87]

@@Parapsyche Yeah, absolutely. Stuff like Aquarium Park, Asteroid Coaster, Terminal Velocity, and Tropical Resort all have fantastic music. The game looks absolutely beautiful too. As much as I don't like the game, it's got its charm and I can definitely see why it's getting a remastered version.

[@KairuHakubi]

I like Colors's soundtrack better than any other post-genesis game. and that includes CD. Most of the 3d era is just butt rock, I can't into it at all.

[@iregretsomeofmypreviouscom3284]

@@KairuHakubi not really, most games have rock but it's not even all the music that they had. SA2 and Unleashed had diverse music for example...

[@thomasbonk3978]

Dang, Sonic really has incredible music. Songs like Reach for the Stars are why I love videogames so much. Good stuff!

[@ninstarjose]

Great culture you have my man, i also like videogames so much, this Soundtrack is and always will be in my heart! ☆

[@anondabomb]

I basically only like music with context, so I mostly listen to video game and movie/show music... with the odd opera song like The Point of No Return from the Phantom of The Opera. Point being, yes.

[@edgydude1066]

This brings back those good memories, I love this.

[@ninstarjose]

Man, i think the same, it was one of my Favorite Games

[@JonnyAtma]

All the love to StudioNicktendo for lending us his awesome voice for this one! Go check out and subscribe to his channel for pop punk and lo-fi VGM covers! kzbin.info/door/o07IJMLV-buOjKHoMpGfvg

[@unsureprobablymaybe3527]

Wasnt expecting his voice but after awhile it grew on me and I love his voice now!

[@LostSoulSilver]

This guy sounds raw. Amazing

[@castform7]

Welp, can't be a Sonic Colors video without someone sayin "no copyright law in the UNIVERSE is going to stop me".

[@TessMcneil]

I really appreciate how this cover has the body to the music I felt was lacking in the original!!

[@SilverSpireZ]

I may not care for Sonic Colors, but the soundtrack is easily in my top 3 in the series. Always good to see a Sonic cover from you!

[@i8dacookies890]

I see he's the type that T-poses to assert dominance.

[@jepoacacs-2216]

I haven’t heard this song in quite some time. You two managed to capture all the emotions I felt hearing this for the first time, and released them from the depths of my memory.

[@unskilledgamer3642]

for quite some time? The 30th anniversary concert wasn't that long ago.

[@dkizzle1252]

The sky with stars so bright, this cover seems so right. You both really did reach for the stars with this one. Amazing cover

[@brendent.934]

Anybody else get goosebumps when the chorus came in? It may just be a cover of the song, but it’s a seriously impress rendition! Kudos to the both of you on this masterpiece.

[@noobking3105]

I dropped my toast and threw on my earbuds as soon as the words on the notification registered in my mind.

[@tethu1740]

omg is the toast injured?! I NEED ANSWERS

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

[@RandomTomatoMusic]

IS THE TOAST OKAY?

[@DJChaosD]

For what it's worth, I've be having an extremely bad past few years. I discovered your channel a few months ago and it's honestly been life changing. I can actually start my days with a smile on my face. This cover though? One of my favorites to date. Vocals are perfection as well. Thank you for all you do. I needed this in my life.

[@I-am-J3r1ch0]

IM NOT CRYING!!!!!!! IM JUST ALERGIC TO BEAUTIFUL NOSTALGIC MUSIC AND IT MAKES MY EYES WATER PERFUSLY!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!! 😢 Loved it Johnny. Thank you.

[@JTTunes1204]

YOOOO THIS IS EPIC LETS GO

[@System509]

GOOD GREAT AWESOME OUTSTANDING AMAZING

[@Numocron]

Wow man this sounds awesome. Shred on dude.😃👍❤️🔥⚡️🎶🎸

[@svartfrasr9755]

It would appear Johnny's that much closer to finding all the members of his own Runaway Five.

[@jungwookimmusic]

Absolutely smashed it. ❤

[@gundambassexe31]

Thanks! That was amazing ! 🤩🤩💙💙

[@mammon8683]

*Nostalgia goes hyper overdrive compares to The Wisps of the game with excitement*

[@edboi8114]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, SONIC COLORS!!! God I love this game’s soundtrack so much! This gives me hope that maybe you’ll be open to doing Nega Wisp Armor (Phase 1 and 2)

[@ninstarjose]

I see you are a human of culture

[@edboi8114]

I may have only played the DS version, but this soundtrack slaps in both the DS and Wii versions

[@HKT-4300]

This is absolutely amazing, this is my favourite version of Rech for the stars now!! After hearing Panic in the Sky for the first time i knew you meant busines hahah, and StudioNicktendo was insane on vocals too!!

[@Michaelpalmer4k]

The best remix collab I’ve ever watched

[@DiegoRiser]

Awesome! A nice way to celebrate the Sonic franchise. PS: Please do a GaMetal version of Guyzoch Space Pirates& Guyzoch Space Pirate Teio Form from The Wonderful 101. It's such a beauty

[@ethangrubb8318]

MY HEART

[@CalysisOfficial]

Relistening to this makes me REALLY wanna hear a cover of Endless Possibility

[@Ihazkirbro]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FIRST VG SONG I EVER HEARD!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@Nemoxdnet32]

I always vibe with this song, its so energetic, always makes me soo happy when i sing it, sooo good

[@fezman7927]

I hope this gets to both of you, but Good lord you f-ing murdered the original which is an accomplishment because I thought it couldn’t be topped. GaMetal, the guitar, synth piano, and drums are sublime. And Studio Nicktendo, your vocals gives all of this incredible work into legendary as your voice gives all the energy and personality that the song was known for, but just flat out better in every way. Stellar work you two, you should be incredibly proud!

[@McSmartOfficial]

This cover is actually gonna make me cry I love it

[@voidastralbirth]

Still trying to ride the Shantae “Dynamo” hype train. Fingers crossed.

[@kero-chan6808]

gasp! reach for the stars cover? all my dreams have come true!

[@AcerArcanus]

One of my favorite Sonic tracks, and you two nailed it. Excellent cover.

[@Flegan777]

What amazing timing. I finished watching a perfect playthrough of Sonic Colors last night. Awesome collab you two. : ) Interestingly, I have wondered what Starlight Carnival would sound like in your style.

[@annarexic9932]

I didn't even know this song was available to cover thank u gametal

[@_shadowwolf150_]

NO WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY LETS GOOOOOO

[@eternity1359]

This game was my childhood and hearing it be remembered and even rereleased in 2021makes me want to cry tears of joy

[@Ataraxia0]

this is my absolute favorite sonic song, awesome to see this being remixed

[@lucabarchiesi5321]

METAL COVER OF REACH FOR THE STARS?! HECK YEAH, NOW WE'RE TALKING!

[@joevahle2321]

GaMetal is an absolute legend! Thank you so much for this, its totally one of my favorites!

[@ByrneBaby]

The 3 GOATs of VGM - Sonic - Mega Man - CastleVania Banger of a cover.

[@svartfrasr9755]

And these sweet vocals just got StudioNicktendo a sub. Do Live and Learn with this guy if you haven't already.

[@weirdoregonian]

I second that motion. Such a great vocalist!

[@AfroXaolin2023]

This is why Sonic will ALWAYS be one of my all time favorite video games series, no matter it’s blunders, The GODDAMN MUSIC. No Matter the message of the song, they always say the same thing to me. Quoted by a certain Minion of the Great Fawful: Even if you trip and fall, keep a modest pace, or LIGHT THE AIR ON FIRE, you gotta keep moving, Sonic is the Living Embodiment of Tenacity, he won’t stop running no matter what…..that is why I’ll always run along side the Azure Flash of Freedom. That, AND THE KICKASS MUSIC!!!! Amazing Cover Guys, Can’t wait to see what’s next…

[@GameXpert64]

Sonic Colors was the first Sonic game I've ever played and I absolutely fell in love with the soundtrack,hearing this just recaptures that childhood feeling of awe,incredible job on the cover,you two

[@minishhero5921]

I remember Sonic Colors was my first Sonic game. Watching that amazing intro and listening to Reach for The Stars. This game and song sparked my love for Sonic and I'm super happy you covered it! It's amazing!

[@aquatazer]

This song means so much to me since I, surprisingly, first heard it on the Equestrian event on Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. I was shocked in the best way to see you covered this, thank you!

[@larryriehl9463]

This song is perfect! Sonic Colors Ultimate released yesterday. I really want the game. I have the original for Nintendo Wii but I bet that the controls are a lot smoother now than on the Wii. I have to use my Gamecube controller to make the game easier. You gave Sonic an anniversary gift better than the game itself! Great Job, guys!

[@Genowhirl910]

This might be one of my favorite covers on this channel. Your instrumentals and Nicktendo's voice just work together SO well, it's absolutely awesome.

[@harrisonwillmoth5037]

So much nostalgia! Thank you so much for this awesome cover!

[@luniversmiitopanyanworld2250]

OHHHHHHHH YYYYYYES THANKS DUDES !!!!!!

[@vortexluigirosalina5557]

[@anthalou0121]

OMG thanks, I love this song so much ! I remember setting up only this song in Mario and Sonic at the Olympics 2012 for literally every menu and events songs 😅

[@silverdamascus2023]

2 days after you did another one of the songs I asked in the comments, Megamix Mania, you did yet another, Reach for the Stars, really, really thanks! You keep doing so many of my requests that I keep having to edit my list and remove stuff. And yes, really want to play the remastered version of this game.

[@Typh98]

This is so rad!!! Finally, a full version of this song, it almost feels like yesterday when you remixed this in the Sonic Fan Medley.

[@_ArmIa]

Nothing short of phenomenal. Both of you absolutely annihilated this.

[@Mrn-ss164]

Ohhhh, I love this, I love this so much, now I only need Speak With Your Heart

[@priestchase9341]

Honestly, it'd be so awesome if you'd do With Me from Sonic and the Black Knight! Or even Through the Fire! Those 2 are literally the gems of that game, and I kept imagining what'd those 2 would sound like with your GaMetal remixing style! *shivers in excitement*

[@andreigireada5611]

Perfect!😂👍

[@Mathtron5000]

I needed another version of this song on my playlist! Great stuff as always!

[@toxicmeijin]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Jacob39822Gaming]

Was not expecting this to pop up, but i love it!

[@puffy3176]

Bit late to the party (Yes Sonic i know I’m too slow ) but this is honestly my favorite Sonic song, nay my favorite song in general. And the fact that not only managed to deliver this absolutely beautiful track without losing the energy and freedom of the original yet still keeping it legible. Major props to you and Nicktendo, and keep up the good work! (Also technically my favorite song is Nega Wisp Armor Phase 2 but that’s just a remix of Reach for the Stars so whatever)

[@ruskah0307]

god i listened to the very start of this and got that big dumb smile i do every time im really happy. good job you two :)

You are one of the best game metal artists on here! Another great cover! Studio Nicktendo pretty great singing there.

You guys absolutely blew this one out of the park, this song brings back good memories of this game! Also I see a thousand leagues below is next (or maybe treasure knight boss theme), looking forward to it!

About 5 seconds in, and I already have a smile bigger than my face can handle. I absolutely love this piece.

This song makes me wanna play Sonic Colors again. Ah the memories...

[@b0rgerRAMMY]

Why can't I like this 5 times over? The song is great as is, but the Pop-Metal influence and StudioNickendo's excellent power-fueled vocals make this even better. Well done 👏
