Trivia about the "too black, too strong" sample: Hideki Naganuma has stated he intended it to be about coffee. The original source actually came from a Malcolm X speech, which was talking about Black people... using coffee as an analogy. The full line is "It's just like when you have some coffee thats too black, so its too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream". (Refering to how the whites were messing with their rights to make blacks weaker)

[@CrimsonBraveMaster]

I always loved the use of the words "too strong" in this song. It feels like the game itself is telling you that the boss is too strong, but you don't care, because you got Sonic and Blaze on your side.

[@abyss-aster8748]

But it's also cause earlier before the boss fight itself, we saw both Eggman's taking the soul emeralds energy to power up the Egg Salamander, the "too strong" part is making reference that this isn't your regular Mech, given it has the powers of the Soul emeralds it stole, it's capable of actually harming the super forms and making them loose rings, hence something that is "too strong" against the super forms.

"TOO BLACK, (WRAPPED IN BLACK), TOO STRONG"🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@simple_npc8320]

We need more music like this for the series. I loved jamming out to this every time i played this game

[@Morbius-Tension]

Fax they could bring this theme back

[@Supernir]

Sonic Rush Logic Too Black = Too Strong Too White = Too Weak Edit: Lol misspelled Rush

[@ludimara05]

Wow! A new sonic game Sonic ruch!

[@TheTC]

Well, Shadow DOES kick Silver's ass so yeah it checks.

[@maniacaal]

Alexos ... By that he meant kick butt/beat I'm the heck up?

I like how there are some people coming back to listen to these amazing soundtracks in 2020. I, myself, have never played the Sonic Rush games, but I did look at the gameplays on KZbin, and it looks fun. It got me thinking how cool it would be if they remastered Sonic Rush for the Switch Lite. I would definitely want to play it (once I get a Switch LOL). Update 2021: I got a Switch! ✌️😎 And still no Sonic Rush remaster... WELP there's always next year (and maybe the soundtrack on Spotify, too, please lol)! Hope everyone's year has been good! Look forward to what's to come, and no matter what happens, even if you don't believe it, you will get through it! See y'all next year! Much Love and many Blessings!

[@torak_34]

It’s really worth playing, and if the game was on switch the music wouldn’t be crap quality anymore

[@creativetheartist]

YES!!! A remake is such a good idea, I can just imagine them remixing this song for it.

[@WhimsicalMay]

@BrTrueV I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you! Also Sonic Colors DS looks really fun and has SILVER, so I agree with you LOL I grew up on the Wii version which I still love, but I'd love to play the DS version one day!

[@Tonybaloney6969]

@@WhimsicalMay emulate it! most modern computers these days can run a DS emulator like cake. Sega doesnt make money off the game anymore anyways

[@jellycore1316]

Aww, please, I would love that! ^^ Sonic Rush was my first-ever Sonic game, and it's super nostalgic, I would absolutely LOVE a rerelease/port or a remake!

[@duscarasheddinn8033]

This is a great song for testing headphones and how impaired the hearing in one or both ears are. Unless only one of the headphone sides works.

[@thedabmaster2885]

Dude this was the first sonic game I ever played and this was the first song I ever heard from the franchise it’s no wonder I love it

THANKS OBAMA!

[@ruccsacc]

This song has some of the best stereo integration I've seen in a sonic game

[@Sonderasf]

This was one of my first video games and I cite it as the reason I like drum and bass so much.

[@fartgarfunkeljr]

Yyyyeeep, I realized rather recently that I owe the sonic series alot insofar as some of my musical tendencies

[@gamerofthetime]

One of my ears was clogged, so I tried cleaning it and returned to this song to test how it worked. Help a lot with the prozess. Great song.

[@LetzyPerez]

Oh god the memories! I love this game's soundtrack and I remember replaying the final boss several times because I had so much fun and the music made it even better! :')

[@gershizzle7914]

[@elluciano5808]

i really dig this final boss theme. its not as intense or rock n' roll-istic. like the doomsday or open your heart for example. it has a bit more "calm" tone yet still has an sense of urgency on it that makes it different from the rest. i love it

[@card100rac4]

ngl i use this song to test if my headphones are still working properly

[@mephbow]

god that violin in the background is euphoric

[@jonathangetachew5705]

The fact that this heat ran on a 32 bit handheld is insane to me. This game might lowkey have the best ost for me-not just in Sonic-but in gaming.

[@theofficialliedetector1545]

I thought the DS was 64 bit

[@jellyshyda3770]

Cool detail, since this song is (i think) the most stereo-separated, you can actually see in the sound test that the fake speakers react accordingly! I thought it was just a looping animation but it seems to accurately show the sound coming through each of the speakers. Really cool detail, props to the devs!

[@glemning4256]

Too strong

[@cixlo]

Too blaack

[@serakxi]

So epic and funky, I can't handle, its too good

[@omegaowl2334]

This is actually the true final boss's theme.

[@alejandromer2006]

this song while working out is such an heavenly experience.

[@roachdoggjr111]

I'm glad we're all talking about the Malcolm X sample, but there's another secret: that same sample was used in the song Bring Tha Noize by Public Enemy, who went on to do a remix of that song with thrash metal band Anthrax. I advise you go listen to that song, pay attention to the drums during the verses, and then come back here.
