For some reason this one blew me away the most. I drove home thinking about it yesterday.doogles said:Mother Brain is almost directly above the Morph Ball. Like you're coming full circle or something.

There was a guy in another thread a while back talking about how he had heard the same melody in a Swedish furniture commercial. It's apparently an old folk tune.AzureJericho said:

This basically shows you what was going to happen in Shenmue after 2:... it's all there.transporting into the past, Lan Di destroying the world with a giant dragon, Sha Hua being transported with her fancy old-style Chinese clothing
A bramble is a kind of prickly shrub. If you live in the country, they can get stuck to your clothes and give you some minor scratches, and trying to un-stick yourself will probably just get you scratched up some more (but you have to do it sooner or later).Prime Blue said:A specific piece of extremely popular video game music is often called by the wrong name. In fact, the wrong name turns up almost five times as much Google hits as the right one.
It's...the song "Stickerbush Symphony (Bramble Blast)" from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.
It is often called "Stickerbrush Symphony", although that title makes no sense whatsoever. Or were it brushes that killed you in the brambles level?

Chao said:Not really a shocking fact. But I was playing some Sonic 1 a couple of days ago and did the select stage cheat. Then I selected Scrap Brain Zone 3.
When you think about Scrap Brain, you think about this:
Buy honestly, how many of you remember Scrap Brain Zone 3 looking like this?:
When I saw it I was like: THE FUCK, WHERE AM I. Played Sonic 1 plenty of times since MD era, but I think I've never played Scrap Brain Zone 3 since then. Always selected the level I wanted to play, never going trough the whole game.

Dragmire said:I've read much of this thread and also searched it twice to see if this was posted. But I just found this out from a friend. A lot of people may already know it but here goes......
Warp Whistle sound
Ocarina of Time intro music
The Ocarina of Time intro starts with the warp whistle theme (which is also the sound of the flute from Zelda on NES and I think LTTP). Mind = blown. I write music and somehow I never put that together. Koji Kondo is brilliant. I remember thinking it was a strange song for the flute when I was young but he made a beautiful song out of it.
Also, wow.

You got me! I've listened to both the JSR and Sonic Rush soundtracks countless times and never noticed that - awesome!AzureJericho said:Back with another Sonic Rush note of interest. Seems Naganuma liked the idea of mixing his older works into Sonic Rush's OST and it shows all over the place. For example, Right There, Ride On is actually a faster paced version of Rock It On from Jet Set/Grind Radio. It even borrows the same "gut sounding slow deepish guitar sound" for the catch (sorry I couldn't describe it better, but if you have a good enough ear for this stuff, you'll catch it):
- Right There, Ride On! (Pay attention to the catch in the first :24 seconds and listen to how it repeats)
- Rock It On (It's in the intro too, but it isn't obvious until :37 onward)
Mind blown yet? :lol
ruby_onix said:So while "Stickerbrush Symphony" might not be it's technical name (I wouldn't know, maybe an official source listed it as such at one point), it doesn't not make sense, and means basically the same thing.

ImperialConquest said:I'm sure I'm posting the obvious for 90% of you guys... BUUUUT, Ryu & Ken's Hadouken attacks are actually their hands in energy form. Look at their hands and at the center of the energy ball.
Though it was there to see in the original SFII, it wasn't too easy to spot unless you were looking for it. It became less obvious in later games and was even completely dropped in some later games. However, they made it as obvious as possible in the last pic:
