Video Game Track Bracket Round 5

Lights, Camera, Action! - Studiopolis Zone Act 1 from Sonic Mania

vs.

How Can You Help Me, Stardust? from In Stars and Time

Propaganda under the cut. If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!

Note: The propaganda may contain spoilers for In Stars and Time.

Lights, Camera, Action! - Studiopolis Zone Act 1:

Honestly, I would unironically recommend Lights, Camera, Action! to someone who something to dance to

How Can You Help Me, Stardust?:

It's the battle theme during a Secret Ending fight, and an interesting genre-swap/remix of How Can I Help You, Stardust? Your character (Siffrin) fights his ally and guide through the time loops he's been stuck in. Its so intense and fast paced compared to the tone for the rest of the game's ending and really emphasizes the absolute stress and despair that being in a timeloop will cause.

[crusherthedoctor]

Emphasis on games. If we included other continuities, I think we'd know which comic would be taking the gold medal.

This is a hard one for me because for obvious reasons, they ALL grind my gears lol. But I picked Heroes for the sheer humiliation factor; other examples may aggravate me to a more intimate extent (SA2 for cementing it as a trend, Frontiers for bringing it back in full force, Rivals for making Nega out to be the "better" Eggman), but any way you slice it, being locked in a room for the whole game by your own creation does nothing beneficial for your main villain image.

Advance 3 is probably the be-...least worst of them, since he at least got to join in with the fight against G-Merl. (Technically that's true in Mania as well, but I don't personally count that as a true upstaging since Heavy King remains on equal terms, and Eggman isn't forced to team up with Sonic.)

[blazehedgehog]

I'll be honest, I really wish SEGA would focus on other IPs aside from Sonic and Yakuza. I'm really scared that we might never get another Puyo Puyo game ever again...

Puyo Puyo x Tetris 2 wasn't that long ago (2020) so I wouldn't be too worried yet. If we don't get another Puyo game in a couple years, maybe start sweating about it then.

Similarly, Sega has tons of IPs. If we focus on whatever isn't Yakuza or Sonic, the last five years from Sega has give us:

Company of Heroes 3

Endless Dungeon

Hyenas

Samba de Amigo: Party Central

Demon Slayer

Football Manager

Project Diva Megamix

Persona 5 Royal

Two Point Campus

Humankind

PSO2: New Genesis

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania

Total War: Rome Remastered

Total War: Warhammer 3

Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate

Two Point Hospital

Vanquish and Bayonetta Remastered

Citizen of Space

Most of the Sega Ages Switch games (Shinobi, G-Loc, Columns, Puyo 2, Virtua Racing, etc.)

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

Valkyria Chronicles 4

Sega is at least still moving forward. Even if it means they are neglecting their history in favor of recycling the same parts of Sonic the Hedgehog over, and over, and over, and over again.

[game-boy-pocket]

This looks like a screenshot of me beating Donkey Kong Country but it's actually a rom hack called DKC Mania. I've been craving more DK lately but there's sadly not much to choose from in the way of romhacks.

This one is for the most part, a remix of the original DKC game. It uses the exact same world map, and if the level you select was originally a jungle level, it will be a jungle level in the hack, or a mine cart level, or a cave, or a water level, ect. I think the only thing that didn't return was that track that requires fuel, which... good riddance. The bosses are all exactly the same, except for the two beaver bosses, who just take more hits and get faster.

I won't lie it's super basic and a lot of the level design feels familiar. The idea was to remix existing levels like how Sonic Mania did for existing Sonic levels but it doesn't quite go far enough. That doesn't mean it wasn't fun, I mean, it's literally more Donkey Kong Country. Which is what I wanted. So mission accomplished.

Now, while I had a lot of fun with this game, I have a lot of issues with it. The graphics look rough in some areas, I undstand though, it has to be tedious to make a level with the prerendered tile sets. The game also has a few areas where you will get launched over the screen and stay there, so you can cheese the whole level, though there is one level near the end where doing this gets you soft locked in a particularly hard level...

And there is also a mixed blessing. This game gives you unlimited lives, and instead of kicking you out of the level if you die, you just instantly restart or go to the checkpoint. That's cool... however... Bannanas, K-O-N-G letters, and Balloon lives are very satisfying things to collect, and bonus rooms are fun to find... this game has lots of those... but they're all worthless, and you'd be better off avoiding them since it can some times be risky to grab them. So i'm not sure how I feel about this mechanic.

Anyway... complaints aside, I'm happy this hack exists. I NEED more Donkey Kong, and Nintendo is not providing the goods. So if you're like me and need more DK, maybe give this one a spin.

TGS 2023: Sonic Superstars Feels Like a Real Step Forward

To be completely honest, it was a little difficult to not walk into the Sonic Superstars demo without at least some feeling of skepticism. Sonic Team may have been able to make something many fans enjoyed in Sonic Frontiers, but the fact remained that the series’ last good 2D game had been made by another team entirely. Perhaps Sonic Team itself was very aware of this fact, because it seems like it’s done everything it can to prove that it’s still got it when it comes to 2D Sonic. Yes, Sonic Superstars was indeed a blast to play, and that was largely due to a great amount of creativity expressed in the stage design and new powerups.

Art Mania: Red Velvet's "Feel My Rhythm" by mera

Video Transcript by CCKN is under the cut

[0:00] Theater kids are going to be manifesting in my house tonight, huh? 

[0:03] Red Velvet are my go-to group for creativity 

[0:06] and I am in love with the melange of 

[0:08] intense and varying art inspirations in “Feel My Rhythm”.

[0:11] This era includes references to different styles of illustration and drama,

[0:16] portraiture and painting, architecture and fashion, music and dance.

[0:20] K-Pop has a few notable ballet concepts,

[0:21] but I love this provocative ballet 

[0:24] and references to the psychedelic theater.

[0:26] Costuming, effects, set design, movement,

[0:28] even the lyrics paint this picture of art

[0:30] colliding in a euphoric mania.

[0:33] I love songs that celebrate music 

[0:35] and this release has it lyrically, sonically, and visually.

[0:38] Soaring between classic violin, dance pop beats, and the rattling metal

[0:42] of a carousel, 

[0:43] “Feel My Rhythm” is sweet like a “Velvet” title and

[0:46] vibrant like a live performance of “Masquerade” from Phantom of the Opera. 

[0:49] I love the second couplet of the chorus where the members trickle down their vocals in a ribbon as

[0:53] as the wave of violins and viola rolls to the front. 

[0:56] The song ends a little suddenly like a music box snapping shut,

[1:00] rather than winding down 

[1:01] but I love the fragrant vocals and the contrasting musical influences. 

[1:05] Elegant orchestral strings, bursts of carnival game beats,

[1:08] and lofty vocals suddenly buckling down into chants and talk singing. 

[1:12] “Feel My Rhythm” is surprisingly bracing, 

[1:14] shiny black spikes poking through lace, 

[1:17] frosted all over with Bach’s “Air for G-String”.

[1:19] “Feel My Rhythm” speaks of music as if it were bottled and personified into five women,

[1:24] five muses of art, each with her own season and stage. 

[1:28] The lyrics and arrangement never stay still for too long. 

[1:31] The members seem to trade dialogue and rebuttals from the constant switch-ups, 

[1:35] and then suddenly ride into the heavens as one. 

[1:37] At parts they stare into the audience as one Greek chorus and at others they're training secrets

[1:41] or cutting each other off with interjections,

[1:44] a lot like play characters and a massive ensemble song putting in their own perspectives. 

[1:49] In my mind there are a handful of songs that deserve to be openings for pop musicals 

[1:53] like “After School” by Weeekly 

[1:55] where everyone gets a personal actionable line that builds into a big centerpiece. 

[1:59] “Feel My Rhythm” feels like a one-thirds mark threshold song,

[2:03] where the play invites you, the audience, 

[2:05] to leave the known world behind and enter the story.

[2:07] I'm always a little on the fence when it comes to K-Pop sampling classic orchestral pieces.

[2:12] Sometimes you get a really over-starch song like “Hands Up” by Cherry Bullet

[2:17] but I think “Feel My Rhythm” uses “Air For G[-string]” more like perfume than costume

[2:21] and it works in their favor 

[2:22] “Feel My Rhythm” has some just classic Red Velvet moments 

[2:25] a lot of moments both visually and

[2:27] musically reminded me of “Cool Hot Sweet Love” or “Cool World” 

[2:31] These creamy, sensual, emotional touches that Red Velvet does really well. 

[2:35] We haven't seen them do black box dancing since like “Automatic”.

[2:38] The video also has these classic collage pop scenes, 

[2:42] these extremely cinematic death of glamour scenes,

[2:44] and a good blue jeans moment. 

[2:47] And I think it works because this song is about the manic collision of art into celebration.

[2:52] I love art that celebrates art, 

[2:53] I'm a huge sucker for it, 

[2:55] and when you put Red Velvet vocals on it, you're gonna make me happy.

[2:58] After listening to the album three times,

[3:00] here is my initial ranking of the songs

[3:02] according to my preference. 

[3:03] Number one: “Bambaleo”.

[3:05] I am in love with this super sweet, falsed-out chorus. 

[3:10] “Bambaleo” is the song that evolved the most the more I listen to it.

[3:13] You start in the city with the quiet synth and funk 

[3:16] but as you drive out into the night, a spotlight from outer space

[3:19] begins to lift you up into the sky.

[3:21] Parts of the song suggests some sort of vacation to paradise

[3:25] but the synth scratch adds some pulp from b-sides like “Look”.

[3:28] The cocktail of cocaine-high singing, psyched-out soundscapes, and retro dance in the middle of it all, 

[3:34] feels like drinking distilled hallucinogens, 

[3:36] but in a nice way, I really love it. 

[3:38] Number two: “Beg For Me”.

[3:40] Whooo, baby! 

[3:42] A Red Velvet b-side in the taste of Irene and Seulgi's Monster album.

[3:45] Absolutely delicious. 

[3:47] “Beg For Me” starts as this very low menacing club song 

[3:51] that breaks into a red demanding mantra.

[3:54] They are yelling at you about the good vibes,

[3:56] it's a little scary at points. 

[3:58] I see this played in a vampire club right after you've been bitten

[4:02] and there's venom in your bloodstream, 

[4:04] and the club matriarchs are like floating around, 

[4:06] reminding everyone what an intoxicating time you're having. 

[4:09] I love the tagline “dance for me, work for me, beg for me” 

[4:12] and a vocal howl at the moon. 

[4:15] This album has a lot of surprising tasteful talk sections.

[4:18] Number three: “Feel My Rhythm”. 

[4:20] The chugging mechanical daydream sounds from “Zimzalabim” 

[4:23] have been repurposed into something more musical 

[4:25] but equally psychoactive. 

[4:27] “Feel My Rhythm” has these rising sweet vocals, 

[4:30] like braces of a cathedral rising up to a point. 

[4:33] I really enjoyed the lyrics on this track. 

[4:35] It's a love song, but it's not to a lover.

[4:37] It’s to music and the places where music touches other art forms,

[4:41] or in this case where arts are piled on top of each other with rapture.

[4:45] Number four: “In My Dreams”. 

[4:47] Killing Eve's song, 

[4:49] change my mind. 

[4:50] Tell me this doesn't make you think of the two of them. 

[4:52] I love the quiet patter of beat,

[4:54] and the high dots of notes 

[4:56] as the song slowly dissolves into symbols and desperate singing. 

[4:59] “In my dreams, you love me back”.

[5:02] It's a little too early my time to be having these emotions 

[5:05] but I love how the chorus kind of bursts out of the speaker

[5:08] but then she loses her courage and has to deal with the words in the room.

[5:12] Number five: “Good, Bad, (and) Ugly”.

[5:14] Mapled and starched like an old photo,

[5:17] “Good, Bad, (and) Ugly” has a spotty rainy ambiance in the background

[5:20] that reminds me of phonographs and classy umbrellas.

[5:23] “Good, Bad, (and) Ugly” falls into that subcategory of Red Velvet b-sides that

[5:27] that play in film noir band bars. 

[5:29] It's a little bit of a cafe song, 

[5:31] and a little bit of draping yourself over the piano,

[5:33] and stealing the pianist's fancy black hat 

[5:36] while you sing about your tragic but passionate love life. 

[5:38] Okay, okay, apparently that is the description

[5:41] that I wrote for this song when I was listening to it.

[5:43] It's too late to change it at this point, whatever.

[5:46] And number six: “Rainbow Halo”. 

[5:48] I appreciate the brass inclusion at the end, 

[5:50] but I feel this song is a little too repetitive for my tastes. 

[5:53] It's got some great moments but 

[5:54] I feel I would like zone out way too easily 

[5:57] while listening to the song and forget that I left the stove on.

[5:59] I really love how this era is soaked in art

[6:01] and the kaleidoscope of musical influences all over the album, 

[6:05] let alone the single. 

[6:07] There's so much passion for each medium, 

[6:09] and you can tell that each crew member was like really excited to

[6:11] reference their favorite piece of art in the video. 

[6:14] I might do a follow-up video

[6:15] specifically about each member's solo scenes 

[6:18] because I think there's a ton to talk about there 

[6:20] but for now I'd like to know what you thought of the era 

[6:22] and what your favorite song off the album is.

[6:24] Okay, bye!

Personal Notes: This is probably one of the Red Velvet albums that I replay nonstop, also because my Spotify would always play the songs from this album on shuffle. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t gotten tired of Feel My Rhythm but it really is THAT song. 

The album, The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm, and the title track, Feel My Rhythm is available on YouTube, music streaming platforms, and to purchase as a digital or a physical album. 

Click here for the YouTube playlist version of the album. As for the physical albums, either check your local stores, K-Pop and not, near you or you’ll have to look online to find any available. I’ve listed a few down below but I do recommend to look for anywhere else if you don’t prefer these sites:

SM Global Shop (It’s all sold out as of writing and posting this but I do recommend checking every once in a while to see if they’ll restock again)

KPOPTOWN (I mainly showed the search results in case you want either the ReVe version or the Orgel version or both)

Catchopcd (The ReVE version is out of stock as of writing/posting this but I do recommend checking back every once in awhile to see if they’ve restocked it)

SubK Shop (I mainly showed the search results in case you want either the ReVe version or the Orgel version or both)

KAVE SQUARE (I mainly showed the search results in case you want either the ReVe version or the Orgel version or both)

Kpop-shop (for those in Ukraine)

It’s all sold out as of writing and posting this but I do recommend checking every once in a while to see if they’ll restock again

If there are any other sites that sell Red Velvet albums, you can reblog or tag or comment below. Spread the knowledge.

That’s about it on my end. I’ll catch you all on the flip side.
