Sonic Adventure 2 Battle - Rouge's Stages

[@ItsMoejave]

knuckles & rouge had the best music hands down

[@hopeoconnor1626]

Yep. Knuckles is so cool, and Rouge is very beautiful.

[@babauranai]

perfect yin yang in terms of being different but having their distinctive style and groove. Amazing soundtrack for all characters really

[@tayesha354]

Where's the lie? Hands down!

[@ghost-fs7th]

omg I just said this 😭 this a straight fact I still come back and listen to all their stage themes cuz they're all bops tho these songs aren't the same without the constant beeping of the master emerald tracker 😂 (tho I guess for Rouge it was keys wasn't it lol)

[@kojirosasaki8129]

No

[@LvK138]

for anyone wanting more of this style, try Nicola Conte, George Duke, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Mo' Horizons, Azymuth, and - to a lesser extent - Thievery Corporation. Good luck, happy hunting, and keep it cool!

[@RitsuCurisu]

Cool! Will check them out. Most searches on "jazz" will just get you songs that would sooner make me think of a club than a jazz lounge.

[@WT_Neptune]

What would you call the genre?

[@JESSEQUEST]

Thanks for the recommendations! Like someone else said though, I'm struggling to find out what genre niche in jazz this music with flutes and female singers is called.

[@John-X]

@@WT_Neptune i've always just called it spy jazz, cuz it's the same type of jazz that they put in spy movies most of the time. But that never helps with the search bar. @LvK138 's comment has been the best thing so far.

[@Superunknown190]

Def recommend Thievery Corporation, specifically their Culture of Fear album.

[@TheAfroMenace]

I didn't like these tracks as a kid. What a fool I was.

[@LTDante]

Cskye I didn't like Eggman's tracks... until I got older of course. lol

[@robert-asdf]

lol

[@misterOrca4]

It's just something you grow into.

[@SolDizZo]

I didn't like Jazz when I was younger. Well, I still don't like most Jazz... I love all the jazz guitar I've ever heard.

[@InstantRamenX]

fool, ya fool!

[@javierolero]

Rouge has the best soundtrack in the game

[@Ghazannn]

Lovely Deadpool nonononononono Knuckles has for sure

[@gamesergeanthd]

True, rest is just ugly unfitting rock music (except for Knuckles).

[@no.402]

Retro Hub "ugly unfitting" No.

[@teecupandshade4691]

Shadow is DNB ;)

[@RareWarRoses]

Softcore sex song with a nice cup of coffee in the morning lol

[@Rulytasho]

Rouge and Bayonetta would get along smoothly

[@Ghazannn]

Ruly Tasho ohmygod so accurate

[@oopsurwrongagain8442]

DONT BLOW HER COVER!!!

[@AlterEgoX7]

I see what you did there.

[@ivoryquillum4436]

I can see that.

[@craygoin]

I can see that 🤔🙂

[@olefredrikskjegstad5972]

To me, this has quite a vibe of being made to sound classy and elegant. I like it for Rouge, and it's also one hell of a bop.

[@Prof_GizMo]

Everyone always talks about City Escape, But the real fans know about Dry Lagoon and Egg quarters. Gosh the music from this game slaps so hard.

[@interhistoria5632]

I love how classy it is, fits Rouge very well.

[@adammarquez5203]

Actually she’s pretty crooked not classy just a crook

[@Leeohlin89]

Oh totally!

[@LannyLeArtist]

Yep

[@destytayzo77]

That the bells and horns

[@GiordanDiodato]

I think it's supposed to evoke a "James Bond" vibe, at least for Egg Quarters, Security Hall, and Mad Space.

[@JESSEQUEST]

6:57 this level was THE MOST intense level in Sonic Adventure 2. And having Robotnik shout at you about how you're going to blow up (doesn't care about you, just the emeralds) was super stressful. "Damn it! Which safe has the emerald? WHICH SAFE?!" XD

[@sanglish18]

For me it's one of the best levels in terms of showing that Treasure Hunting isn't about "slow pace the game", it's just as fast as Sonic levels, but it's not relied on linear hallways and dashpanels, it all depends on the player skills, quick thinking, where to go next. I wish all levels had some timer, so that all players would understand Treasure Hunting isn't as "slow" as they think.

[@USLBSYouTube]

I actually hated that level. My least favourite level in the game. Plus I forgot how to open a safe when I started playing the game again. (I did beat this level btw and breezed through Dark Story)

[@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565]

@@USLBSKZbin more than Mad Space? At least Security Hall, despite having the shitty locked safe gimmick, wasnt nearly as awful as the terrible Mad Space and Its terrible Mario Galaxy mechanic that doesnt even work properly. Mad Space IS by Far the worst level in the entire game, im even counting the awful Route levels.

[@USLBSYouTube]

@@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565 I gotta agree with you. But I found it quite easy. Sure it was time consuming and the planet logic almost made me lose my sanity. The only reason why I don’t like Security Hall is because you are given a timer. Me and timers don’t work well together. I’m glad Security Hall was the only treasure hunting stage that had a timer and not any of the other ones. Otherwise I’d throw my PS3 out the freaking window! I mean I will agree with Mad Space being the worst level in SA2…

[@do0dlebugzz]

why did i read that in alfreds eggman voice?

[@Suntro]

This game & Sonic Adventure 1 had the best music. Dreamcast games had such innovative themes.

[@bonnierabbit1413]

Lrdvltr finally somebody understands me😎🎉🎊🏆👍👍👍👍🍻

[@Luckytarianism]

@DBfan 84 Huh, that's an interesting thought.

[@zainabtouray7681]

Bright Sound (Dry Lagoon)

[@zainabtouray7681]

Rouge the Bat

[@lyrimetacurl0]

Also Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06.

[@Tsunkuotaku]

The style is very close to Jazzhouse. Similiar artists Seikou Nagaoka (especially Speed of Love) DJ Kawasaki Studio Apartment MAKAI should hit the spot for most of you.

[@Tsunkuotaku]

Manic Samba kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3nTfJKgmd2enNk You're welcome anyone who finds this.

[@Rokku-D]

This gives me Lupin The Third Vibes, especially Egg Quarters and Security Hall.

Rouge music was the most underrated aspect of SA2.

[@kojirosasaki8129]

Good point. I love the elegance and classic chick vibe the music portrays

[@shinespark2175]

true

[@TsuriaDragon]

Facts

[@JuanAguilar-sl9ow]

Rouge's songs are very pleasant and catchy and i love it

[@fangthesniper2274]

Oh I bet

[@JuanAguilar-sl9ow]

Fang the sniper What can i say i love the song

[@JuanAguilar-sl9ow]

Fang the sniper and what do you mean by oh i bet just wondering

[@fangthesniper2274]

Cause I'm fang and you know,I hate everything rouge!!!

[@JuanAguilar-sl9ow]

+Fang the sniper Tho i think the character of rouge is umm not suitable for kids even when i first played sonic adventure 2 in 2001 when i was 6 or 7 or 8

[@GTMario5]

Not a single rouge theme I don't like! The needs her own game already!

[@GTMario5]

***** lol why stop there let's give big one too.

[@GTMario5]

***** ikr! His songs would be awesome! So would his lvls!

[@batfamgamez]

Still waiting for metal gear sonic lol

[@John-X]

I imagine it would be something like hitman, but a lot more jazzy and spyey.

[@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr]

@@John-X a Rouge-centric stealth game sounds dope ngl.

[@marfscoggins7907]

Daaaaammmnn the marimba lick at 2:46 is tasty AF

[@TrillShvt]

tasty? ...tf

[@Hardrockfan21]

It's the Xylophone part he's talking about, come on now guys...

[@Jamailmusic]

Vibraphone. It's a vibraphone.

[@VjRoboZ]

Marimba? are you crazy? Vibraphone..

[@ChereraTaguato]

Ties in well with the vocals, but let's be honest, the vocals carry the song.

[@darulezlulez2625]

Themes told me Rouge is a secret spy agent from the 60s

[@cosmic_cuttlebone5590]

Decided to revisit some childhood nostalgia. Seems I've been sleeping on her music. This shit slaps.

[@lioneljones3140]

As a kid, Rouge's asteroid level annoyed me because I could never grasp the concept of 7/8 time signature.

[@superiormeh]

Sega and sonic always have the best OST. Every character has a banger, even Amy's theme slaps!

[@Beetwixt_N._Janeen2112]

OMGdness!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I remember playing this and totally getting lost in her theme music. She had the BEST soundtrack in the game.

[@lulani154]

came for the nostalgia and ended up doing 4 entire dance routines.

[@andynaveda]

I adoooore SA2B music. All of the tracks are amazing, specially Rouge's and Knuckles'. Thank you for making this video! 💜

[@fernandogonzalez9679]

Is it just me or there is a laugh at the very end? 👀

[@champurrado]

Her songs always kinda reminded me of the Cowboy Bebop theme haha

[@garrymoore-eroomyrrag]

totally! i feel something similar; i get Space Dandy vibes from these songs.

[@terencechrismanjr5235]

yo , shout to the person who made this vid, it's on point and good taste.

[@LTDante]

Terence Chrisman Jr thank you!

[@NiGHTSaturn]

Every time I listen to these songs, it always made me want to do a Casino Hotel style movie with Cocktails and intrigue. I love her stages so much. Mad Space though, the first time I played, I spent over 90 minutes on the stage. -_-

[@brigadeleaderharuhisuzumiy8589]

I love Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I played this game so much as a child. I beat the game, than replayed it multiple times over throughout the years. Some levels I would get stuck in them. And I'd roam around randomly at times just to listen to the music in it. I miss the times that they had the Chao Garden in Sonic The Hedgehog games. They need to bring it back. I miss modern classic Sonic The Hedgehog games like these ones. They are apart of my childhood. And I miss them so much. Good times these are.

[@ismaelsaenz3914]

Did you know that great Eastern entertainment makes sonic character plushes

[@brigadeleaderharuhisuzumiy8589]

@@ismaelsaenz3914 That's Kool. I still like how I can go to a store that has grabber machines. Or an arcade. And get a Sonic Plushie of any of the characters.

[@nilla_softserve658]

Rouge truly had NO BUSINESS being so voluptuous 😩

[@ChrisWilliams-ur7fn]

No business, but we didn't mind.. 😅

[@ThatShikushi]

When you're a kid playing this, you don't really realize it, but these tracks so well-crafted. Such a variety of instruments, catchy melodies, many little fills and details sprinkled about, and the mix sounds great! These would be incredible to hear live.

[@madpistol]

Everybody knows Rouge had the best music in SA2.

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

I love this sound much as I hate that bat!!

[@TrillShvt]

+Sophia Swanson Lmao Bruh..

[@TrillShvt]

[@pantyosashu8137]

Hey Knuckles hows that Master Emerald doing?

[@gugatasca3230]

The only thing that kept me from going batshit insane while playing Mad Space was the catchy music Pun not intended at first

[@cosmicspiderlily1463]

Beautiful Latin Jazz

[@DRT_Music]

Can listen to this all day! :D

[@HonkAbby]

Haha that baa'ing laugh sound at the very end of the recording.

[@LTDante]

Lol, it was the producer that laughed.

[@jendeath9051]

Dang I had to listen to that multiple times and very closely to finally hear what you guys were talking about.

[@HonkAbby]

@Quinton King Madoka is 10 years ago now. Also still agree.

[@aflyingducky]

They had me at the flute

[@templecatt]

2:41 I can't be the only one singing "SHALALALAAALAAAAAAYEAH DO DO DO DO DO"

[@ChrisWilliams-ur7fn]

That part is the best of rouge's whole section of ost

[@Axultair]

Rouge stage music reminds me of Persona 5 and Bayonetta. No wonder that i love it

[@dougiebuckets1364]

Never played bayonetta, but yeah definitely persona 5. I picture them all effortlessly escaping a palace with grace while the security scrambles with anxiety

[@kirbyspoundcake6107]

hell yeah

[@Jourmand1r]

DURR ROUGE MUSIC REMINDS ME OF A GAME THAT CAME OUT 15 YEARS LATER HURDUR

[@bugburger_]

guys did you know in 2016 atlus invented jazz music in persona 5 !!!!!!!!!!!

[@Axultair]

@@bugburger_ yeah surely Maysa, Shakatak, Incognito, T-square and Dimension did not exist before P5. Those are banger Jazz artists btw 10/10 would recommend

[@gonzo4057]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I always wanted someone to make this because I freaking love the music Sega uses for Rouge.

[@birdwithlargefeet]

The only reason i was able to power through egg quarters was with that banger of a song.

[@yourownreligion]

I always come back to these songs, and just reminisce about the good times.

[@braxinIV]

Sega is cracked out in the music department. Say what you want about their games, but their soundtracks are beyond fire.

[@fernandogonzalez9679]

I can hear a laugh at the end 👀

[@saikouforever2041]

Egg Quarters to this day still scares my brother and he is 25 lmao but i lobe her Soundtracks. So awesome!!

[@ItsTylesOrSomething]

3:38 Shadow: "Rouge, what if you had, like, human hair, would that be weird?" Rouge: "Probably." Shadow: "Alright! Cool, bye!"

[@chaochow393]

Bright Sound reminds me of a place I went to in my childhood, and I can't quite remember. A tanning or nail salon? A spa? Wherever it was, they played music over the speakers like this there, and I remember loving it.

[@Da_Homie_Don]

I used to never pay attention to the music, the few exceptions was city escape, both jungles, meteor herd, pyramid cave. This one a little bit as well but oh my goodness I wish I payed more attention because this games entire ost is amazing

[@DrawingsOfNamine]

I'll never forget the sparkly sounding part at the beginning of Dry Lagoon.

[@Gerard-oo8os]

The reason why I love Rouge's theme songs is because they remind me of Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes.

[@kuma477]

*Head bobbing cat meme*

[@saunterrrr]

The whole ost bangs

[@PuzzlePopTV]

I love her stages cause they were more fun to play and listen to, Sometimes I would just let the music play. Her songs were composed by Tabetha Fair and Shaows songs were composed by Everett Bradley.

[@blacktheripper9870]

Say what you will about their games, but if there is one thing that sonic will (almost) never f*** up, it's their soundtracks.

[@bennusmagnus5277]

they knew exactly what they were doing when they made her.

[@siavm]

They went all out with the music in this game.

*Joseph Franc* Which track?

[@Th4tsUp]

thats how you can tell it was a hot live set

[@FSAPOJake]

I didn't care much for her music as a kid, but now as an adult I think she has the best level themes in the game. Those chord progressions are tasty as hell and very well thought out.

[@planet7782]

This entire mix is my new theme song!

[@Trey_Luis]

I casually am listening to this as it’s a regular Tuesday.

[@TsuriaDragon]

Ah how I miss these tracks so much Rouge has the best music in the game fits her so well. But than again all the music in Sonic Adventure 2 is an banger 😎✨✨✨✨

[@jbark678]

another commenter pointed out Azymuth, which is also an excellent shout.

[@triplecrosscounter]

Idk why but I always got A ranks on Rouge's stages I guess the music must've helped me out in some way cause of how much I enjoyed it.

[@ChrisWilliams-ur7fn]

There was nothing else really like Rouge for her time. Good character. Great music. Fun dynamic with Knux.

[@remylebeau34]

the bassline at 4:10 is used in her music from sonic battle, really cool how they made something completely different from it

+Kahlil Cade I wanna say Samba, Bossa Nova, or Smooth Jazz? Maybe the roots of French House?

[@rudycannon6632]

Its a mixture of Jazz and Bossa Nova. Mostly Bossa Nova.

[@woefulkingoddy5941]

Its called Acid Jazz

[@KusogeMan]

Acid Jazz and Smooth Jazz should bring similar stuff

I can quarantee that there is better art to put in this video on the internet that is fair use. Not even the lewd kind, just generally cool concept art

[@MUZXRaoorz]

Woman by Doja Cat reminds me of Rouge The Bat

[@mayotayo9736]

Yes

[@winkoman3]

I really wish Rouge can come back as a playable character in any Adventure style games they might make in the future. Her design is obviously beloved by fans, and her musical style of sultry jazz compliments the sountrack so well. It would be a big mistake to ditch her in future games or tone down the things that make her appealing in the first place.

[@VelourSweatsuit]

Security Hall is a big tune.

[@VielkaGuillen-gw4ye]
