Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone Acapella

[@lightway2bright]

The song was so catchy that I didn't even mind getting stuck on this level for all of eternity as a child.

[@eulalio1]

Lol me too 🤣

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

my favorite level of sonic 2...

[@SerialCommenter]

For me it was always Chemical Plant act 2. I still can’t find a pattern for the Eggman fight to this day, and I hate water levels in Sonic.

[@eattheLactose]

I do find that the more stressful sonic levels have the best music 😂

[@Liverpoolisagoodteam]

Them blooming star things and the crabs

[@Mairusu]

Perfect hype for the new Sonic Mania!

[@Deezpair]

YOU ARE VERY EARLY MAIRUSU!

[@maks_____]

you damn right mairusu

[@thetruesandwitch1689]

I have high hopes for Sonic 2017

[@thepunkkingkingofthederps7686]

You ain't lying

[@thepunkkingkingofthederps7686]

You ain't lying

[@dustinjones7458]

Thumbs up for annoying crab-bots you fight in narrow corridors with low roofs, praying mantis-bots with sonic-seeking throwing claws, and exploding ninja stars waiting EVERYWHERE. Especially at the top of very high running bolt-lifts.

[@SSJ22Terris]

Shellcrackers, Slicers, and Asterons. The ultimate trifecta of tough badniks.

[@anon123214]

Jammed to this super hard with no remorse!

[@Masckerdoom]

cringe

[@no.402]

Masckerdoom Fuck off with that stupid and overused word.

[@Masckerdoom]

Der Speedrunner you fuck off. Tell me another word that is applicable. Was I supposed to write out "second hand embarrassment?"

[@no.402]

Masckerdoom Neither of those two. Your reaction to Evil King is unreasonable.

[@Masckerdoom]

Der Speedrunner Perfectly reasonable, it's a dumb comment

[@Mr.Atari2600]

Those fucking Robot Crabs & Those fucking Robot Praying Mantis's & those fucking Exploding Robot Star Fish's!

[@matthewdunaway7622]

Mr. Atari 2600 you sir need to go see somecallmejohnny and his sonic 2 review

[@Derpinator-hp9zq]

Matthew Dunaway FFFFUCKING SLICERS

[@burrowthechurro]

Mr. Atari 2600 OMG YESSS

[@ExtremeSpeedMewtwo]

Have you guys noticed their resemblance to Pokemon. The Crabs - Kingler The Praying Mantis with slicers - scyther The star things- staryu

[@Mr.Atari2600]

I bet you compare everything to pokemon.

[@johnpriceuk]

YES, my favourite from Sonic 2 absolutely!!

[@edregisfurry]

The level or the music?

[@johnpriceuk]

@@edregisfurry the music. Probably not my favourite level

[@LordBloodySoul]

Hells yeah! That brings back memories. This was one of the songs my siblings and I played during a school fair. We made a jazz version of this. Damn, if we all had proper recording utilities or could meet up again, we should record that one xD Would love to share it with the rest of KZbin xD

[@waderichards-2007]

No way! Me and my friends did a cover of this for the school talent show.

[@coolbluelights]

Ahh, finally out of this damn z.... WHAT? ACT 3?? NOOOOOOO!

[@Bluesit32]

More like "Huh, that's weird...no boss? Well, I'm fine with...no. No! Act *3* ?!"

[@vpls6237]

That's the feelling

[@blountman747]

God damn I hate that level you think there's only two know there's three

[@brunoperez4135]

Kkkkk

[@Namel_]

*AM I IN SONIC 1 AGAIN!?*

[@alexanderl7491]

0:38 was.....chefs kiss!

[@shstrng5474]

The nostalgia from this feels like I've been punched in the nose. It's insane. The music from Sonic & Sonic 2 will give me the feels forever, fucking great tunes!

[@mr.madness6574]

Am I the only one who wants him to do studiopolis??

[@ELEMENTOR374]

no, seriously he needs to do that

[@funnybill9630]

YASSS!!!

[@cronostrife431]

lol at least wait until the game is out

[@MisterBlueSkyProductions]

Hell yeah, and Mirage Saloon too!

[@cubedtothex]

mr.madness Hopefully once it's out!

[@Fraustega]

This is one of my favorite songs from any gamr ever. And you Nailed it!! Love this so much.

[@lordbatair]

yes a new sonic cover, i'd like to hear the bonus stage from sonic 2

[@ChimpManZ1264]

My fear with that one is it is one of the shorter soundtracks being a bonus stage and might be too repetitive for around 2;30 worth of run time. (Note: I'm using ; because : links the video.)

[@mokmo23]

That track starts at the worst moments when my ipod is hooked in my car...

[@c4_murloc782]

Never heard it before, but all bonus stages are always super peppy Smooth's specialty!

[@shouganai.]

Or maybe the bonus stage from Sonic Heroes.

[@WafflezTRB]

Smooth always makes awesome vids

[@daviddavidson505]

0:35 "Nice rings you've got there - be a shame if anything were to happen to them."

[@BruhMoment93_]

Yeah what a shame like if they all went everywhere They did

[@paulseyler3769]

"Bah."- Smooth McGroove

[@xerzy]

Stunning as usual! So honoured to be among the first to listen to this - thank you a lot!

[@xerzy]

I love how you manage to perfectly match the steam effects... oh please!

[@avimidi]

He's so amazing, am I right? Oh, and you're right, toon

[@avimidi]

Too*

[@Lexcah]

He needs to do a song from sonic heroes, maybe seaside hill zone, mystic mansion, or one of the hang castle variants

[@Alexus00712]

TntCat5 or all of them

[@TheMrRuttazzo]

I wonder how Bingo Highway or Bullet Station would sound like coming from him. :)

[@linusherr8257]

He doesn't need to do anything. You can't tell him what to dp!

[@markfish7705]

Smooth Mc Groove all day everyday is my favourite artist keep up the good work pal! Also awesome beard!

[@justjukka]

Thank you for doing a cover of my favorite Sonic tune. I still remember how I felt, way back in 1993, when I first made it to this level. The experience informed my understanding of how greatly music can impact...well...everything.

[@bikoy143]

I love it that you don't change the songs' musical scale when you remake them. Adds to that nostalgic feel as it's as close to the real thing as possible, only acapella. :P Great job man! Happy subscriber here. :)

[@cloudbloom]

starlight zone is one that I would love to hear done by you. great work!

[@theduh1011]

Already done!

[@cloudbloom]

+theduh1011 HHHNNNNGGGGGHHHH I can't believe I haven't seen it yet!

[@emanymton713]

+cloudbloom to be fair he did it back in 2014 so it could be easily overlooked when searching his page.

[@Joshiesgotagun]

That one is probably my favorite one that he did.

[@HankusTheTankus333]

He did tho

[@TheBeaster19]

Sonic music is amazing, and I have a feeling you will be doing some more sonic music because of the announcement of the sonic games coming out. If you do end up doing more Sonic music I would love to hear some music from sonic 3. In particular I would love to hear Battery Zone Act 1 or Hydrocity Act 2.

[@DehLogund]

I like some pieces of Sonic Music, but Mario Music seems to be better (for me) because it's more catchy and Memorable. Heck, Almost every gamer had heard the Overworld Theme from the Original at some point. But, I respect your opinion.

[@TheBeaster19]

DaLegendP67 never said sonic music was better than mario music.

[@pkmaster4988]

Mario music isn't better than Sonics, Sonic music isn't better than Marios. their both awesome!

[@DehLogund]

***** I forgot to say It's my opinion

[@progfoxmusic]

+1 for battery zone

[@arcticridge]

the ba's were amazing, but the tapadapas? wow!

[@anasomar48]

s2vuuvffgggggggghhhhj juuuuu

[@sharp9563]

His doo's not getting enough credit

[@hirokonkiba]

I still cant believe I met you at MAG Fest and got my Pass signed. I was the first girl in line and everytime I watch a video of yours I still get butterflies at the amazing sound! You are awesome Smooth! :D

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I can listen to this every day, Great work... and BIG fan !

[@fhd-5134]

I like this part 0:04

[@VolcanoTheBat]

WTF THATS A HUGE COINCIDENCE I LITERRALY JUST WATCHED SOME OF HIS SONIC ACCAPELLAS TODAY AND THIS GETS UPLOADED HOURS LATER!! AND JUST WHEN I WAS ASKING MYSELF WHEN HE WAS GOING TO DO ANOTHER SONIC ONE... MAN THIS IS AWESOME

[@VolcanoTheBat]

SMOOTH YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN.... MARVELLOUS PIECE OF ART please do another sonic 3 soundtrack next pls!

[@LenamLorbington]

excuse me, do i know you sir?

[@VolcanoTheBat]

Nope

[@theodort.5603]

+Spassti excuse me, are you teil des deutschem volk Sir ?

[@VolcanoTheBat]

somehow i knew someone from my channel would find this comment weirdly

[@pepetron1977]

perfect acapella for wait to sonic mania and attack on sonic 2017

[@Zusse]

Yes!!!

[@Zazar-g9l]

you guys ain't learning, each time it's the same thing, a new sonic is showed, everyone is hyped and the true game is shitty as shit

[@Zusse]

+Kosaku Kawajin well I don't really care if it's shitty or not I still play it because I actually enjoy making videos for it it's not about the gameplay with me...Of course sonic 2017 I hope it's good if not oh well

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

+Kosaku Kawajin because there was usually a sonic game every year with rushed development. this one could be different since we're getting it next year

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

blozzybabe2 right so you're proving my point here

[@ricarizzle5107]

I LOVE your a-capella arrangements, especially your Sonic covers. Ive been following your channel for a few years now and I never get tired of your content. :) Looking forward to your next video

[@TemplarofLTE]

Wow! You really outdid yourself with this one. It is so faithful to the song, which I have heard many, many times!

[@tymestalker3]

Love the Sonic music, especially from my favorite Sonic out there. I'm really hoping you'll do some Crypt of the Necrodancer tracks at some point, especially Mausoleum Mash. Danny Baranowsky does some amazing VG work

[@rez6624]

Awsoooooome dude. You're the best

[@rez6624]

If I wrote wrong, it's because I am brazilian

[@MichaelAiyedun]

I hate this stage as a kid

[@ALTAIR2]

I hated it too but love the music

[@DJACKnight]

It was so confusing on where the goal was. I went in circles for like, five minutes

[@ALTAIR2]

+Zee “Trico” Mayo kinda like the tribals of trawfet on jet force Gemini.

[@DJACKnight]

...?

[@MystycCheez]

FUCKING SLICERS!

[@xtheamazingax]

Your description fits the bill perfectly... I struggle so much with this zone. Great work with the arrangement. Your work is amazing. :)

[@thejpatt3475]

0:49 the true sound of pain

[@pencilsandchill]

I've always wondered if it is Smooth playing the games during the acapellas.

[@dracibatic2433]

I wonder

[@masked_mizuki]

+Spack Yes, he does. One could see thst in the Undertale Acapellas, because the name of the main character was Charl, which is the name of Smooth's cat. And I doubt, Smooth would search just for Undertale gameplay with the name Charl or that it's just a coincidence.

[@MarvyGD]

who else yuzoboy plays his.

[@zushi3493]

+JGLP He edited over. Watch battle against a true hero, his name doesn't fade when the rest of the screen does.

[@jefeltner11]

+Spack The question could be interpreted either way, to be fair.

[@TheHyperGamerVideos]

please do Sonic 3 ice caps zone. that is my favorite retro video game song ever

[@DJACKnight]

Yes.

[@OwenTintor]

I love that theme!

[@PharaohTutFazbear]

He did that already.

[@CheetosForBreakfast]

he should do metropolis zone next

[@henrystandring8874]

+CheetosForBreakfast Yeah I agree

[@bradye]

When are you gonna do Escape From the City? At least the background of it.

[@submynubmikeys-tube3880]

right!!

[@Sirrantsalot]

He might do the whole thing song and lyrics. He did One Winged angel lyrics and all.

[@nekomasteryoutube3232]

Thank you smooth mcgroove, you have made my favorite track from sonic 2 even better.... you made my childhood memories better now :D

[@King_Jimbo]

Super Sonic was probably the most badass thing in the entire franchise next to the music! Great pic, Smooth!

[@skullkitty1001]

Chemical Plant Zone was always my jam. This one is very catchy as well, though.

[@MrGamerTH]

Smooth's the name, groove's my game!

[@emanueleborghini3186]

But what if the cat goes crazy and starts meowing?

[@richardgibson2579]

Haha, yeah, I bet he has had to redo some tracks because of that.

[@Artoliann]

Then it'll meow in sync.

[@Mr_Egotistical]

Cat tropalis zone?

[@sonicstarman9663]

That would be hilariouse and adorable, but I'm pretty certain the cat's used to this by now lol

[@ayanbadinoldchannel]

@Sharon Lumangyao the what

[@dhertsens5617]

I loved this theme as a kid. You make it sound so soothing.

[@bklynzbossman]

OMGGGGGGG thank you soooooooo muchhhhh I've been prayyyyying you do this song for years now I can't believe it you have no idea how happy I was when I found out and heard it THANK YOU SSOOOOoO MUCH I SWEAR I CRIED I LOVE U MY GUY U KILLED THIS One it was mad hard n complicated to do

[@enaid_b]

I love your work... how long does it take to record a song? From preparing to uploading it on your channel. I am very impressed 🥰 cuddles to your lovely cat!

[@KayFiOS]

God damn you, Slicer!

[@Bluesit32]

I can say the same to nearly every enemy in this level. The exploding starfish, the crabs that punch Sonic in the face...

[@Officialchristophermorris]

"HillTop Zone" from Sonic 2 next Please???

[@CatherineKimport]

Dude I can't stop listening to your covers. And there's so many of them! You freaking rock.

[@JeffMakesGames]

This zone definitely was madness. This zone also used a loop section trick where you end up at the top from the bottom. Look up soniczone0 and you can see maps of the full levels.

[@Why50seriouss]

Good to see you singing of the hedgehog again. Reckon you could do a Metal gear song?

[@9cookie2monster]

WoW I'v beaten this sonic multiple times and I never knew you could turn super sonic

[@DaBunne]

goes to show that finishing the game is not the same as FNISHING the game... get all the things. don't skip stuff to get to the end faster. ;)

[@Artoliann]

If you get all 7 chaos emeralds you can turn super

[@greenknight9000]

This was his debut appearance, if you plan your checkpoint routes well enough, you could get Super Sonic by the end of Emerald Hill Zone Act 2

[@Rabbitearsblog]

Oooh! Can you do acapellas for the following Sonic music: Hydrocity Zone Flying Battery zone Sky Sanctuary Zone Wing Fortress Zone Sky Chase Zone Toxic Caves from Sonic Spinball

[@mrcrushcake456]

Also mushroom hill zone

[@Pedrohenrique-d510]

Doomsday ZONE

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

Death egg zone.

[@mcbeaulieu]

Flying Battery 😍 Act 2 plz 🙏😁

[@SaltyGee]

Didn't think I'd like it this much, thank you sir:)

[@Laenthor]

This is a great programming playlist. I've been listening to music while programming for a year now and I find myself comming back to this playlist a lot. Thanks musical Jesus!

[@lunavixen015]

Nice :D Any chance of Mystic Cave or Sky Chase happening in the future?

[@KenMantheUltimate]

As soon as I saw this I was going to suggest Sky Chase next.

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

Mystic Cave is the best.

[@jakewells1025]

Mysic Cave would be awesome! I love that one so much I actually have it as one of my ringtones.

[@Piface2099]

Mantis enemy: *appears, stares at u for a second* "what up" Sonic: o god-- Mantis enemy: YEET

[@BruhMoment93_]

OOF

[@ChaosAad22]

WHY DOES THIS LEVEL HAVE 3 ACTS?!?!?!?

[@kurtisharen]

There was going to be an additional Zone, called "Genocide City". It got scrapped, but they had a fully finished Act from it. They didn't want to throw out what they had, so they swapped tilesets and made it part of Metropolis Zone.

[@Sirrantsalot]

Wow I can see why they scraped Genocide city. Dark for a game made for all ages.

[@Redblaze27]

Scrap Brain Zone. Also on a side note - Chemical Plant Zone was originally Death Egg Zone Act 1 & 2, but shuffled to stage 2 do to the lack of difficulty. You can still see they share assets in the final game.

[@BIackDomina]

The first game had 3 acts per zone so why not

[@Sirrantsalot]

MrMikehunt87 Now Cyber city makes more sense.

[@DaBunne]

Serious props to the precision in getting this challenging arrangement down. Seriously impressive.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

This sounds really good, Big fan... and Subsribed to you !! Keep on going with this !! love it... :D

[@phantasm1234]

Cannonball from Megaman Zero 3?

[@atoaster9940]

that would be awesome.

[@mightyafrodyte]

Ah - freaking-mazing. Hated this dang zone. If you do another Sonic, Please do SkyChase.

[@Pabl0o0xX]

WILD ARMS PLEASE!!! :c

[@Edude117]

YES

[@netolopez4632]

Pablo González

[@michelvandammeffm1032]

One of my all time favorite game songs! Super smooth McGroove

[@CGold75]

My favorite thing to do from watching these videos besides listening to Smooth McGroove's amazing talent of Acapella is figuring out which box his cat will appear in.😂

[@daemonCaptrix]

Can you do Studiopolis Zone from Sonic Mania?

[@lemombs]

Put it on 1.25x speed

[@Alexus00712]

Lewis Moles can't, on mobile 😭

[@Alexus00712]

Lewis Moles can't, on mobile 😭

[@schwany6703]

[@imapersontoo8165]

[@tunafissh]

YES YOU CAN IDIOT

[@tabbender1232]

Beloved Tomboyish Girl for Cirno Day (september 9) ?

[@crazyli]

YES

[@CassramLP]

So you still make new acapella sounds. Very nice! Please keep going. I totally love them!

[@Calloflunacy]

still want a mod to play all the original 3 sonic games with the Smooth McGroove songs replacing the original soundtrack. Love this stuff.

[@zackerynuvy1457]

My favorite song from this game! Wow this brings me back, amazing job.

[@DarkSim64]

I'm impressed. Especially at 0:49, it souns exactly like in the game!

[@xiahou88]

Very nice, I've been hoping for this a-capella for a while now.

[@remiarn8795]

Hell yeah! Glad to see you are still putting out great music.

[@redinahedge3073]

I love the clap in the beginning drum beat! It not only sounds good for the hardware, it also basically says, “buckle up, kid. Crap’s gonna get real here. The music, and the stage.”

[@WorshipMaranatha]

I love this song! This is one of my favorites!!!! :D. Awesome Acapella!!!

[@RitzBluesGames]

It's about time! Oh, how long I've wanted this. THANK YOU!!!

[@Gamebiter]

This brings back some memories. Sonic 2 was the first game I ever really got into. Beat it dozens of times when I was a kid, but I suck at it now. :( Great acapella! Studiopolis from the new Sonic Mania would be really cool to hear.

[@Te079]

This is just awesome. perfect sounds

[@ancapikitty]

Been waiting for you to do an Acapella of this one! Metropolis Zone is my other favorite Sonic 2 jam besides Chemical Plant Zone. You don't ever disappoint, McGroove!!

[@DrowzyDruid]

I swear this level would be completely intolerable if it wasn't for the absolute 🔥 theme Another Great Video!

[@macerather1378]

I've never played this game, but I do like Sonic. I LOVED the way this sounded.

[@krydder]

This tune along with Emerald Hill and Aquatic Ruin are my favorite stage themes from Sonic 2.

[@Gutschein12345]

How to generate dislikes to this masterpieces? Every single acapella song from "Smooth McGroove" sounds like absolute work. I heard so less little little mistakes in sooo much clips and these lil mistakes you can't hear as a amateur. So that is not the reason. Maybe you dislike a song but only to listen to this also nearly absolute voice blows much respect into yoursef, that you can't push the dislike button. I think that only trolls and haters dislike smth. like that. Or maybe they hate themselves and need to compensate. Finally I wanna say never stop doing this, you are a great master in what you do and you got my full repect in this.

[@trickyleblanc]

This is still by far my most favorite!!! I love the little kitty too haha!!!

[@Audioynuyor]

I've been coming back to this one for a few days now. It sounds so melodic, upbeat and fun! Compared to the original, Smooth adds such a richness to the song. I really hope one day we will get a complete McGroove's Sonic 1-2-3 OST Deluxe Platinum Supersonic album :)

[@MrTheMighty]

Ah, possibly my favorite tune from Sonic 2. Well done, sir!

[@SuperNapTime]

Finally! I've been waiting for this one for 3 years now!!!

[@jesse6970]

Dude, you are amazing at what you do!

[@SheerSonic]

With the announcement of Sonic Mania and all, I'd LOVE to hear you do Studiopolis Zone. Such an awesome song. Love this video too! :)

[@MegaFlash08]

Dude, you're supernatural !! Inexplicable what you do !!

[@DonCaponeBR]

AWESOME MAN, i love your job and hope you continue doing this

[@TheBeastofTrinity]

I absolutely hate this zone, but you absolutely nailed this theme song

[@shafarrsavoy7332]

This is a hard song. You covered it. Big props to you.

[@DemonHunter3200]

I remembered this being one of my favorite levels to get to while playing Sonic 2. Now we need Aquatic Zone and Hilltop Zone buuuuut on a separate note, I'm still waiting for Zelda OoT Hyrule Field, as well as Twilight Princess Hyrule Field. Thanks Smooth!

[@punkt8824]

Oh Man!!! You are great in what you do!! :-) I really like acapella music and also did some Acapella Arrangements.

[@superMacaulay1]

I cry in all your classic sonic covers

[@ricc220]

2:01 and the other two are so fire for me

[@cristiansoto1612]

Master.

[@justorion1098]

Smooth! Love your stuff! I'd love to see a Toxic Caves cover from Sonic Spinball! That bass line is killer.
