Sandopolis Zone (Sonic & Knuckles) - GaMetal Remix (2020 Revision)

[@toonsbywade4650]

“GaMetal’s sounding a lot more like SandMetal right now.“

[@liberatingzephyr7024]

Heh. Nice.

[@its_Clxudy]

Rocking out is definitely not gonna be a chore

[@Comic3665]

I guess all sorts of things happen when your neighbourhood turns into a jam out

[@theceoofeggmansempire5214]

No it's like "metalopolis"

[@Beans-do6wc]

Please no

[@nicca9711]

Song begins: "This is nice." Song gets fast: "Holy crap!"

[@thatonestarmanintorobotics4319]

One of the best sand/desert themes in my opinion. A heavily egyptian-inspired vibe, mixed with some kind of oasis sounding vibes

[@germanelkapo1]

The Subterra stage's theme from the Bakugan game is good too.

[@KorporalKReephdmkiytrecv69]

What about hail from the past and Gritzy desert

[@YeetZmeN]

It’s definitely one of if not my favorite Sonic song of all time.

[@Beans-do6wc]

Too bad act 2 fuckin sucks

[@infinitetheeverlasting4306]

I’ll have to mash this with Boo’s House from Team Sonic Racing. I love the Sandopolis theme. Edit: It's now uploaded for those who care to hear it.

[@Parapsyche]

OH COOL Fancy seeing you here. :P

[@infinitetheeverlasting4306]

Oh hey! Lol

[@Koko-pm4qq]

I was thinking that too!

[@ballisticboo7808]

When I first played that track and heard the sandopolis motif, I got chills down my spine.

[@matthewmorrison3745]

Gonna have to speed it up to match

[@Koko-pm4qq]

Honestly, SEGA should get you to do some official songs, because you're always amazing

[@vreikezen8268]

He predicted it.

[@TheSaxDragon]

Sounds amazing my friend. I misread this as "Studiopolis Zone"...and I'm like, no way you did that one without me haha. Seriously this sounds good and brought back all the nostalgic feels with that Atma edge that I needed this morning!

[@chezi34]

I may hate sand, but I’ll always love Johnny

[@SirenSoldier]

When I was little I remember wanting to play this level but I could never get far enough. My exposure back then was letting the title screen sit on long enough for the game to show a little demo of them playing.

[@aaronhildebrand9882]

Relatable It's funny how much I liked Sonic games as a kid considering how trash I was at them

[@KairuHakubi]

games as a whole, really. and they had to be that hard, because they weren't very long

[@ballisticboo7808]

Same

[@frenzyvega8727]

There are no words on gods green earth that describes how genuinely metal this sounds.

[@GodgamingX83]

The transition from act 1 too 2 is crazy

[@DarkGamer364]

After the Sandopolis remix in Team Sonic Racing became one of my favourites, you're the only one who managed to beat it.

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

Man this stage is surprisingly brutal if you don't know where the checkpoints are in act 2

[@GamingCreed47]

HOLY CRAP, this song is amazing, thank you for this!

[@Mario-xc6bp]

I really hope the Deoxys theme gets another shine in the spotlight. I loved the original; can't wait to hear a possible remix

[@George.___]

Best cover of this awesome theme on the Internet. Hands-down no argument.

[@ChanivonKarpa]

Sandopolis' ghosts may steal your data, but Magikarp would never do that, Magikarp will always be by your side, that's why he deserves a cover of Magikarp Festival!

[@SuperZez]

Poor time to suggest this, given you've just done a Sonic song, but any chance you could check out the soundtrack for the Saturn version of Sonic 3D blast? That soundtrack is CRIMINALLY underrated. And volcano valley would make an amazing metal remix if the pace was picked up a bit.

[@SoulOfSorin]

The only thing to keep from this game ... the soundtrack ^^

[@Boldingrama]

I only recently discovered the Saturn soundtrack and I'm quite upset I went all these years with out hearing it. I second this notion.

[@IamCombustible]

The special stage music from that game is something I can imagine sounding really fun in his style

[@SonicGamesPlayer]

I would honestly love to hear Special Stage and Rusty Ruins from this version. Especially the latter, given its new-age sound :)

[@l0stndamned]

I'm very much a fan of the boss theme from that game.

[@Typh98]

You actually pulled out the Sandopolis Zone GaMetal remake!!! I'm so glad dude, thank you so much! I expected this back in 2015's May Madness, then kinda lost hope after that. Thought you were gonna remake Emerald Hill instead for some reason. The 2011 Sandopolis Zone cover used to be my favorite GaMetal until you released the Pokemon Champion Medley in 2015. This 2020 version is now my favorite GaMetal remix, I cannot thank you enough for this!

[@RonaldMcDongus]

i was about to send a meme to my friends and then this shows up as someone who loved the 2011 version this makes me EXTREMELY happy

[@chimericalical]

1:29 caught me off guard with that transition to act 2. That’s pretty intense

[@TanorFauxofOltanis]

Somewhere in there is the vibe of Myrath with this!

[@ventu1238]

Blazing amazing remix and perfect timeing in 3:32

[@Kanggaxx]

So heavy!! I never knew sonic had music this good. This may already be ending up as one of my favorites on this channel. You did really good on the drums too man. Everything about this amazing.

[@SLYKM]

This song got better and harder the more it progressed, its beautiful

[@dekkadeci8860]

Wait, the Silver Surfer theme got voted in? Here I was, thinking that this was one of the only pre-2015 GaMetal remixes that couldn't safely be improved on. Among other things, I love how that old remix incorporates part of the ending of the loop like it should have been at the beginning. And this seems to be the May Madness where Jonny Atma is willing to remix songs for the third time (e.g. the Punch-Out!! medley)... For next May, can you possibly do the Super Smash Bros. Brawl main theme, the Final Fantasy Mystic Quest boss theme, Galaxy Man's theme, or Boss B from Star Fox 64? As for themes new to GaMetal, I've been thinking that Multi-Man Melee 1 is underrated lately....

[@Aid-fl4he]

this is now ABSOLUTELY my go-to version of sandopolis ill be listening to. thanks for this one, it slaps!

[@The_NJG]

I have this song in my playlist, glad to see it remade.

[@JcFerggy]

You did a wonderful job with this track, but I couldn't help but compare it to Tee Lopes rendition used in Team Sonic Racing at first. But after listening to them both back to back, I love how yours is more rock oriented while keeping that synth backing. While TSR is fast and frantic throughout, yours almost tells a story with its progression. Discovery of the temple with Act 1, the slow heavy trudge through the dark with Act 2, then a speed shoes/final lap escape sequence at the end. Top quality work as always!

[@Hadaron]

NO WAY. I was literally just thinking about how cool it would be to see this remade for May Madness and you delivered. Even the “Super Sonic Metal Overdrive”™️ returned.

[@bidoofenshmirtzevilinc.4369]

Still have nightmares about those ghosts in act 2 whenever I play the game

[@TeaPee_live]

You still have them noise echoing in your head? Bwop!

[@KingmanIII]

@@TeaPee_live The lights going dim = "range anxiety" in video game form

[@DodgeThisBam]

Godamnit. Now all I can remember is being trapped in a seemingly never ending pyramid of sandslides while it gets darker and those ghosts get larger...

[@TheAllocatedReviewer]

This was absolutely stellar to listen to and watch. I was just catching up on some of the content and this turned out to be the third one that i watched and listened to. I love that you shine a spotlight on the different sounds layered in these nostalgic music tracks, it makes this whole experience even more kick-ass. Great work! 10/10

[@DiegoRiser]

Ah, Silver Surfer is up next. Who remembers the game's frustrating gameplay? Anyways, the theme still has the desert vibes that we wanted, well done.

[@gatemansg1]

he did surfer in 2014, i'm hoping he does a medley of the title and stage themes! sadly what will be missing is the awesome long acoustic ending of that song. some of those were so creative. that and what he did for the end of cradle from goldeneye (a whole minute of the watch pause theme!). now they're all just a short acoustic blurb ):

[@berlinrubios9455]

There's riffs everywhere!!! Sandopolis is soundin a lot more like Metalopolis right now.

[@taoboyce6412]

You should totally do Shigematsu Shinzaemon from Muramasa Rebirth DLC!

[@Julian-nu4bx]

Oh hell yeah, the OG Sandopolis cover was one of my favorite things to listen back then

[@Alexrun902]

Now this is what I'm talking about! I love this theme in the original and even your old remix when pretty good, but this is way better, almost sounds like the remix of Sandopolis from Team Sonic Racing but if it was for a level theme instead of a racing theme, really fantastic job, I love it! ^^

[@charlesmortensen1434]

Certainly love this song, but MAN did I hate this stage growing up! Love the remix GaMetal!

[@TheSuperSpinD]

best 3&K zone theme and no one can ever convince me otherwise. You have done god's work once again

[@Mammothkong]

Suggestions 1. Duel in the darkened sky/dark matter - kirby's dreamland 2 2. The evil king bowser - super Mario world 3. Tower pokey battle - paper mario sticker star 4. Checker knights - kirby air ride 5. Ice ice outpost - mario kart 8 6. Battle tower theme - pokemon sword and shield 7. Drawcia sorceress - kirby canvas curse 8. Fated battle - super Mario galaxy 2 9. Final bowser battle - super Mario sunshine 10. Vs mega baby bowser - yoshi's wooly world 11. Final Demise - legend of zelda: skyward sword 12. King boo battle - Luigi's mansion Like it so Jonny can see it

[@oimenamesrick]

Oh nice, someone who cares about Dream Land 2

[@littleguystar]

Zone 2 was heck for me. S3&K/S3 and S&K were great game(s) with great music!

[@kirststeel]

I have not played many of these games but your renditions of them are so amazing I cannot help myself

[@imptwins]

This has always been one of my favs from you Jonny. Normally when you re-do my like, huge big favourites, I don't tend to like them as much, but this one? This one you goddamn nailed. Out of the park. Awesome new version, it's actually gonna replace the old one on my playlists.

[@spartaninthebox9101]

More Sonic from you is always a good time!

[@Segtend0]

*sees next song coming up* I always thought it was such a great remix. Can't wait to see how you made it better.

[@ShadowveilFox]

HELL yes! Awesome remix dude!

[@ChubbsRN]

Sandopolis always calls out for metal remixes. The main lick has so much potential for metal influence. The old metal cover from BrainCells in the early 2000s was one of the sickest ever. This cover was fantastic, and I loved the super sonic bit. I'd have kept the keyboard out and just added more layers of guitar. Bonus points for that little credits theme cover at the end.

[@KDDimple]

I just discovered this channel and I am in love 👏🏾😩

[@PinClockFuntime]

Always had memories of getting stuck here as a kid... Still going to request Battle for Everyone's Souls/Battle Aria of the Soul from Persona 3

When i was young i though the ghosts were gonna jumpscare me so i watched a gameplay to know how to avoid them lmao.

[@unlimited8410]

When I was a kid and played through that level, even I wasn't that stupid. I used common sense and knew that switches are what makes ghost go away. So I decided to jump on one as is the rational response to seeing it. The more you Know! (Insert Star) (RAAINBOOOOOOOW)

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

I love how your classic Sonic and Sonic Advance remixed sound like they belong perfectly in the Sonic Adventure series.

[@nthgth]

Took me till about age 33 to realize what an awesome tune this is. Act 2 even more than 1. Love this metal cover, it seems to fully realize the potential of the original writing.

This version is awesome, sounds more dynamic n varied than the previous cover. But it got rid of my fav part, the lead-in to the heavy breakdown! 💔 Still amazing tho

[@lucasmueller5038]

didnt know you had covered this song before but this sure is a well made revision. I would suggest that when may is over you cover byrnes theme from the legend of zelda spirit tracks? pretty please?

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

Sounds like an apocoliptic stage. Badass.
