ZorDon Reacts to SONIC ADVENTURE 1 & 2 "Unknown From M.E." | Sonic Saturdays!

[@seanibarra-loredo7290]

It's not really known why it's called "Unknown from M.E." It's possible that M.E. stands for Master Emerald, which is a gem that Knuckles is supposed to protect with with life. Therefore, "Unknown from Master Emerald" could have double meaning referring to the fact he's a fish out of water to anything outside of the Master Emerald and is more introverted towards everyone else. Next could be Amy's theme, "My Sweet Passion."

[@TheVTable]

It is

[@XenonSlayer]

"Oh no."

[@jackalsniper4232]

Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and Tails all have their own theme in Sonic Frontiers "Second Wind" is Sonic's theme "Maybe If..." is Amy's theme "Blood Flow" is Knuckles' themr And "Another Passage" is Tails' theme

[@josephpliler392]

The main thing I loved about Adventure Era Knuckles is they tried to make him as cool as he could be, rather than portray him as a mindless, one-liner brute.

[@malomal4]

They started leaning Knuckles more towards an urban-ish theme for some reason during the Adventure era. All of his level themes feature a mix of hiphop and jazz themes with the same rapper doing the vocals from this theme. If you're a fan of the first version of this them, I think you'd get a kick out of the "Burning Rangers" theme song. It's not Sonic related but it's a Sega game so it's close enough! And if you like the different genres these Sonic themes have been in, try giving the Sonic Rush OST a listen. The themes from that game are VERY different from what you've heard thus far.

[@SSJ22Terris]

knuckles has some more vocal themes, his stages in adventure 2 are all pretty good. "A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup," "Kick the Rock!," "Dive into the Mellow," "Deeper," and "Space Trip Steps." They're all great, but "A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup" and "Space Trip Steps" are favorites. Also for future reference, if Yesmen10 doesn't have the song, try Blackblur7's uploads, they usually include Lyrics in the description if the song has them.

[@krisisgod666]

Hot take: besides MAYBE “Open Your Heart”, the best song in Sonic Adventure 1. Third place is easily eggman tho🔥😎🔥

[@sepherioth5568]

E.G.G.M.A.N. Is from SA2

Ahh, this guy, this guy's voice is my favourite in the franchise. I mean, the way he sings, his style.. I am in love with the way he sings Anyway, there are 4 characters themes left from sonic adventure 1 and 2, soooo, following the "two songs" format: "My Sweet Passion" (Amy's) and "Lazy Days" (Big the Cat's), both from sonic adventure 1, should DEFINITELY be next!! they're amazing (the other two are Rouge the Bat's and Eggman's, both from adventure 2)

what about Gamma?

[@kero232]

@@gabrieliuszalp7974 I thought about it, I hesitated, but yeah, gamma's DESERVES to be listened to, a very beautiful, fully emotional song, I am in love with it haha

[@gabrieliuszalp7974]

@kero232 yeah it's very beautiful and emotional but you can still bop your head to it

[@aidanlyons25]

You should react to Fly in the Freedom. As a person who has never played the Adventure series and listening to that for the first time 2 years ago, it won't disappoint you at all.

[@cameronreitmaier9334]

The Knuckles stage themes from sonic adventure 2 kinda has the same vibes where they also have rap in it. I know Yesmen10 has made an animated lyric video for at least one of them called A ghost pumpkin soup which is the song name I think while the stage name is pumpkin hill. It’s also the only one I remember clearly over the other ones lol

[@mgdgamerart456]

The M.E. in the title Unknown from M.E. stands for Master Emerald.

[@calebdouglas7622]

The Best Character Theme

[@FGJamz]

Since Amy doesn't have an Adventure 2 remix, it would be neat if you did her Heroes theme after her Adventure 1 theme.

[@ShadokuSan]

If you're interested in listening to any covers of this song in your spare time, I'd recommend one from GaMetal. I believe you reacted to them before from "Never Turn Back?" Apart from making the song more metal, they've also included a few of their own lyrics that help paint the picture of Knuckles as a character, some references to the games, and a tiny bit of meme culture. imo it's a fun listen.

[@Hypersonic-hg8kd]

Fun fact just about every character has a theme song, Sonic has multiple but isn’t tied down to one. While some have group theme songs like the chaotix and the Babylon rogue (personal head canon the chaotix couldn’t afford their own personal theme songs so they had to take one as a group 🤣) but there are 2 characters that don’t have a theme song which are blaze and cream (there are more like sticks and marine but one is from a spinoff title and the other is not liked by the community)

[@alexos9011]

A big thing about Knuckles during this era is that he was mostly defined by black american music. Every Knuckles stage in Sonic Adventure 2 is accompanied by hip hop stye rap music. They even considered giving him a Jamaican accent in Sonic Adventure, but gave up on the idea for obvious reasons The character is seen by most of the community as being black coded and when a human interpretation of the character is created in fanarts, he's usually black. Btw, if you want to know more about Knuckles as a character, you should watch "Sonic Frontiers Prologue : Divergence", which is an animated short released on the official Sonic KZbin Channel that serves as a prelude to Sonic Frontiers' story and explains how Knuckles got involved with it. It dives really well into his character and it's really one of the greatest pieces of storytelling the franchise has to offer. And you don't to know anything about the lore to watch it.

[@chaosx07]

Unknown from M.E. feels so underrated. Kept this in my music library through like 3 eras of music lmbo

[@therealtt]

You should listen to Aquatic Mine from Sonic Adventure 2 if you haven't already and great video!

[@ThisisTheUltimate]

Here he comes, the one that is rougher than the rest of them, the best of them even! Can't believe you're really reacting to it! Next in the line would be Amy's theme I guess, "My Sweet Passion", this one only has a Sonic Adventure 1 version, in Sonic Adventure 2, since Amy isn't playable like Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, they just use the exact same theme And I'll say... I'm not the biggest fan of this one, I think it does a really bad job representing Amy, the lyrics are REALLY weird and show Amy as a possessive girl towards Sonic, I think "Follow Me", Team Rose's theme from Sonic Heroes does a much better job representing her, it is a sweet, cute and romantic song, and not only that, but Follow Me does an amazing job representing the 3 members of the Team, just like the other themes in Sonic Heroes I think it's also kinda funny, considering it was in Adventure 2 and even more in Heroes itself where they started exagerating a bit on how much Amy likes Sonic for comedic purposes, but still not that much, until they started controlling that side of her personality in Sonic Lost World, Forces, and now with the Classic and Modern IDW Comics, Frontiers and Superstars in Sonic Adventure 1 she has focus on being a kind and cute girl that likes Sonic but not being a big part of her personality So the themes are revered compared to Amy's personality lol, I still love her as a character and she is in my top 3 Sonic characters

[@pabloberbelquesada4568]

OMG knuckles theme

[@lucas.n.carvalho.artist]

Once you get through the Dreamcast era themes, you should check out the Victor McKnight trilogy of Sonic movie fansongs! ( Ready Set Go, Up 2 Speed, Darker Side of Me)

[@mvk0058]

I like that this theme sounds like "I am the hero, not sonic!" Also could you check out "speak with your heart" (sonic colors )

[@ThisisTheUltimate]

Neither Sonic nor Knuckles view themselves as heroes, Sonic is just a guy that does what he thinks is the right decision at the moment, but has a heart of gold and hates oppresion, so most of those decisions tend to lead into the "hero" side, but he does not like to be seen as that As for Knuckles, he doesn't even care if he is seen as a hero or not, Knuckles just do what he thinks is necessary to keep fulfilling his duty of protecting the Master Emerald, Angel Island, and all the live beings and nature that are in the island AND outside of it too What this theme is about is that unlike Sonic, Knuckles sees things a lot more seriously and takes it with more responsability than Sonic does, and how Knuckles hates that Sonic sometimes see serious situations as just fun adventures, it also talks about how Knuckles is independent and doesn't need anybody to watch his back

[@YungandRekless545]

If there was ever gonna be an artist who'd be able to keep the same energy for Knuckles theme in Sonic Adventure 3, it'd be Joey Bada$$

[@thetruej7872]

Knuckles theme songs in The Adventure games were and still iconic. Very Jazzy Rap music.

[@TeamAquaLeaderArchy]

You should totally listen to All Hail Shadow, Sonic Boom, the Sonic X theme although that one is super short, or infinite's theme

Glad you vibed to it as much as I do 😆

[@MilkyWayMarsBar]

As someone who's 16 (turning 17 in 11 days), I grew up with Sonic. 6-10 year old me's TOP fave Sonic Adventure songs were (and still are): U.N.K.N.O.W.N from M.E, Fly in the Freedom, E.G.G.M.A.N, and Pumpkin Hill. U.N.K.N.O.W.N From M.E. is my #1 fave though. "Here I come, rougher than the rest of them; the best of them, tougher than leather! You can call me Knuckles; Unlike Sonic I don't chuckle, I'd rather flex my muscles! I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell, I break 'em down whether they solid or frail; Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath; first test, feel the right then the worst's left!" BARS!!!

[@shilohdynastyfan3089]

You should react to sonic colors Reach for the stars

[@zekromfan1]

Now that you’ve done all of Team Sonic, I think it only makes sense to round it out with the character themes of theirs that you haven’t heard yet. Namely the ones from Sonic Frontiers Update 3: The Final Horizon. Sonic’s theme is “Second Wind” Tails’ theme is “Another Passage” Knuckles’ theme is “Blood Flow” And finally Amy’s theme is “Maybe If” Granted you haven’t listened to any of Amy’s themes yet, but still. Then there are the Team themes from Sonic Heroes. “We Can” for Team Sonic “This Machine” for Team Dark “Follow Me” for Team Rose You’ve already done Team Chaotix’s theme so you don’t need to do that one. I guess “Sonic Heroes” the main theme would be a good one to finish it off with.

[@56brandonray]

If you can, listen to End of the World - Sonic 06! Some very weird vibes but still good 😎

[@crazizzle85]

Knock knock, it's knuckles

[@mgdgamerart456]

I hope you listen more of the Knuckles levels ost

[@FireQueenMyra]

God I love this song

[@Steg1118]

i was looking for your reaction to all hail shadow and couldnt find it and I think it'd be a good sonic song to react too next. There are two versions I believe one from shadow the hedgehog (2005) and one from sonic the hedgehog (2006). Also there are more songs from the recent sonic frontiers DLC that you could react too like I'm with you, since the DLC is an alternate ending this song is sages perspective on the new ending mirroring the Dear father song, sonic tails knuckles and amy also all got new themes. I know you've probably heard everything I just said before but just thought I'd show my support for these reactions.
