Reach for the Stars (Sonic Colors) - GaMetal Ft. StudioNicktendo
Музыка
We're joined by StudioNicktendo to celebrate the upcoming release of Sonic Colors Ultimate with this remake of Reach for the Stars!
◆ Studio Nicktendo's Channel: / @studionicktendo
When Sonic Colors Ultimate was announced, I knew I wanted to do a Reach for the Stars cover to celebrate. I did this song way back in 2013 as part of the first Sonic Fan Medley, and a lot of people have wanted a full version since.
I found out about StudioNicktendo through his City Escape cover, and I loved how well his voice fit the song. So I reached out to him to see if he wanted to be a part of this remix. And of course: he did a killer job!
Be sure to show him some love over at his channel and in the comments below! :)

This was a lot of fun! I really REALLY appreciate Jonny for asking me to be a part of this cover.

You totally killed it! Your vocals are how I remembered the original song, but when I went back and listened, they weren't nearly as good as your rendition.

Señor Tendo! Should've cited this slapper as "Supernova the Stars," since you sent this song into SUPER SONIC STATUS; suppressing and strengthening the saccharine source with shots of the steely-Ga-sympatico, smokey-grit sweetness of your special guest singing SUPERIORITY! We salute you sir! Surely you shall serenade us again, soon? SUBSCRIBED!
Regardless of your stance on Sonic Colors, we can all agree that as with the soundtracks of most other Sonic games, Colors has a banger of a Soundtrack

Yeah. Although I never really liked Reach for the Stars. It always felt like it was missing something crucial. This remix and the one from the Sonic Symphony Orchestra seem to have that something as I have no problems with those versions. The original, however, I just don't like for whatever reason.

@@KingKayro87 Perhaps the original is a little too far on the synth side to feel like a "Sonic song" with the precedent set by the soundtracks before it. Both new renditions have more of a rock touch to them, more reminiscent of Crush 40. Colors' soundtrack overall though is, in my opinion, a contender for the best in the series.

@@Parapsyche Yeah, absolutely. Stuff like Aquarium Park, Asteroid Coaster, Terminal Velocity, and Tropical Resort all have fantastic music. The game looks absolutely beautiful too. As much as I don't like the game, it's got its charm and I can definitely see why it's getting a remastered version.

I like Colors's soundtrack better than any other post-genesis game. and that includes CD. Most of the 3d era is just butt rock, I can't into it at all.

I wanted to say, Sonic Colors was one and still one of my favorite Sonic Games, i played both DS and Wii versions, and it took me a lot of time to complete it, and to get Super Sonic on Wii, i still have the game and Wii console after so much time and i really appreciate all this fun i had playing this great game!
Welp, can't be a Sonic Colors video without someone sayin "no copyright law in the UNIVERSE is going to stop me".
Dang, Sonic really has incredible music. Songs like Reach for the Stars are why I love videogames so much. Good stuff!

I basically only like music with context, so I mostly listen to video game and movie/show music... with the odd opera song like The Point of No Return from the Phantom of The Opera. Point being, yes.
All the love to StudioNicktendo for lending us his awesome voice for this one! Go check out and subscribe to his channel for pop punk and lo-fi VGM covers! kzread.info/dron/o07IJMLV-buOjKHoMpGfvg.html

The sky with stars so bright, this cover seems so right. You both really did reach for the stars with this one. Amazing cover

Anybody else get goosebumps when the chorus came in? It may just be a cover of the song, but it’s a seriously impress rendition! Kudos to the both of you on this masterpiece.
YOOOO THIS IS EPIC LETS GO
It would appear Johnny's that much closer to finding all the members of his own Runaway Five.
*Nostalgia goes hyper overdrive compares to The Wisps of the game with excitement*
For what it's worth, I've be having an extremely bad past few years. I discovered your channel a few months ago and it's honestly been life changing. I can actually start my days with a smile on my face. This cover though? One of my favorites to date. Vocals are perfection as well. Thank you for all you do. I needed this in my life.
IM NOT CRYING!!!!!!! IM JUST ALERGIC TO BEAUTIFUL NOSTALGIC MUSIC AND IT MAKES MY EYES WATER PERFUSLY!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!! 😢 Loved it Johnny. Thank you.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, SONIC COLORS!!! God I love this game’s soundtrack so much! This gives me hope that maybe you’ll be open to doing Nega Wisp Armor (Phase 1 and 2)

MY HEART
Awesome! A nice way to celebrate the Sonic franchise. PS: Please do a GaMetal version of Guyzoch Space Pirates& Guyzoch Space Pirate Teio Form from The Wonderful 101. It's such a beauty
I always vibe with this song, its so energetic, always makes me soo happy when i sing it, sooo good
The best remix collab I’ve ever watched
I remember Sonic Colors was my first Sonic game. Watching that amazing intro and listening to Reach for The Stars. This game and song sparked my love for Sonic and I'm super happy you covered it! It's amazing!
Still trying to ride the Shantae “Dynamo” hype train. Fingers crossed.
Thanks! That was amazing ! 🤩🤩💙💙
One of my favorite Sonic tracks, and you two nailed it. Excellent cover.
What amazing timing. I finished watching a perfect playthrough of Sonic Colors last night. Awesome collab you two. : ) Interestingly, I have wondered what Starlight Carnival would sound like in your style.

Ngl, if he did Dreams of an Absolution, that’d be pretty dope.
This is absolutely amazing, this is my favourite version of Rech for the stars now!! After hearing Panic in the Sky for the first time i knew you meant busines hahah, and StudioNicktendo was insane on vocals too!!
This might be one of my favorite covers on this channel. Your instrumentals and Nicktendo's voice just work together SO well, it's absolutely awesome.
Sonic Colors was the first Sonic game I've ever played and I absolutely fell in love with the soundtrack,hearing this just recaptures that childhood feeling of awe,incredible job on the cover,you two
GaMetal is an absolute legend! Thank you so much for this, its totally one of my favorites!
This song means so much to me since I, surprisingly, first heard it on the Equestrian event on Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. I was shocked in the best way to see you covered this, thank you!
This cover is actually gonna make me cry I love it
I needed another version of this song on my playlist! Great stuff as always!
god i listened to the very start of this and got that big dumb smile i do every time im really happy. good job you two :)
I hope this gets to both of you, but Good lord you f-ing murdered the original which is an accomplishment because I thought it couldn’t be topped. GaMetal, the guitar, synth piano, and drums are sublime. And Studio Nicktendo, your vocals gives all of this incredible work into legendary as your voice gives all the energy and personality that the song was known for, but just flat out better in every way. Stellar work you two, you should be incredibly proud!
This is so rad!!! Finally, a full version of this song, it almost feels like yesterday when you remixed this in the Sonic Fan Medley.
Was not expecting this to pop up, but i love it!
So much nostalgia! Thank you so much for this awesome cover!
this is my absolute favorite sonic song, awesome to see this being remixed
This is a banger we’ve awaited for a long time, and it SLAPS! Bravo to the two of you! This is the perfect music to eat my Late July chips too before it becomes August!
I feel like we don't talk enough about how sick Jonny's drumming is. The guitar work is sublime as always but this drumming is next level. Fantastic cover!
You guys absolutely blew this one out of the park, this song brings back good memories of this game! Also I see a thousand leagues below is next (or maybe treasure knight boss theme), looking forward to it!
OMG thanks, I love this song so much ! I remember setting up only this song in Mario and Sonic at the Olympics 2012 for literally every menu and events songs 😅
I can't even express how grateful I am for this, Sonic Colors was my first Sonic game, Thank you so much 💖💖💖
Truly amazing work from both of you!
An incredible song, turn into a incredible remake, you both nailed it! It's a masterpiece!
Ohhhh, I love this, I love this so much, now I only need Speak With Your Heart
Incredible!!! Instant subscribe to both you and StudioNicktendo!
Absolutely smashed it. ❤
This is my favorite Sonic songs! Thank you GaMetal for this!
This game was my childhood and hearing it be remembered and even rereleased in 2021makes me want to cry tears of joy
And these sweet vocals just got StudioNicktendo a sub. Do Live and Learn with this guy if you haven't already.

Why can't I like this 5 times over? The song is great as is, but the Pop-Metal influence and StudioNickendo's excellent power-fueled vocals make this even better. Well done 👏
Needs more views, this was insanely great
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FIRST VG SONG I EVER HEARD!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
METAL COVER OF REACH FOR THE STARS?! HECK YEAH, NOW WE'RE TALKING!
Thank you so much for this great remix this is my favorite sonic song of all time
You are one of the best game metal artists on here! Another great cover! Studio Nicktendo pretty great singing there.
Unreal, I JUST fell in love with this song!
Freaking awesome job! Pumped for a Nick collab
gasp! reach for the stars cover? all my dreams have come true!

2 days after you did another one of the songs I asked in the comments, Megamix Mania, you did yet another, Reach for the Stars, really, really thanks! You keep doing so many of my requests that I keep having to edit my list and remove stuff. And yes, really want to play the remastered version of this game.
Omg I love this so muuuuuch!!❤
Nothing short of phenomenal. Both of you absolutely annihilated this.
I was WAITING FOREVER for a cover like this.... And boy oh boy did you deliver!!! Great work like always!!!!
This is super sick !!
Great cover as always I hope you are having a good day Jonny!!
This brings back so, so many memories This is absolutely beautiful
full chills up and down absolutely phenomenal job
NO WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY LETS GOOOOOO
This song is perfect! Sonic Colors Ultimate released yesterday. I really want the game. I have the original for Nintendo Wii but I bet that the controls are a lot smoother now than on the Wii. I have to use my Gamecube controller to make the game easier. You gave Sonic an anniversary gift better than the game itself! Great Job, guys!
Amazing as always, my man! Another’s Requiem for Partners in Time would sound great in ur style
OHHHHHHHH YYYYYYES THANKS DUDES !!!!!!
👀 Treasure Knight next!! We haven’t had a Gametal shovel knight remix in years! I’m getting excited now
Relistening to this makes me REALLY wanna hear a cover of Endless Possibility
Wow, awesome work!! You guys rock!! :-)
Yooo hyped to see a StudioNicktendo collab
awesome cover!!
This is so 90s sounding! I love it!
Such a great song! Great cover!
Excellent cover! Can't wait for Sonic Colors' remaster coming up! And next up, diving under the sea with Treasure Knight!
You always know what music im in the mood for its amazing!
Nice beat! Love it going to take my chance.
I never had the chance to play the Wii version of this game but this song brought to me so many memories of me watching gameplays of 2 hours looking how cool the game was for me, ill try to play it this year maybe.
YO MY DUDE IS PUTTING HIS HEART AND SOUL SINGING BRAVO DUDE 👏👏👏👏
You have no idea how much nostalgia this brings
Bro I am so happy that Studio Nicktendo is getting more attention
Its beautifull thanks
I fucking love this, sounds like an almost perfecton of the OST. Great Job, Atma and StudioNicktendo.
This is absolutely fantastic man, keep up the great work! On a side note, Green Forest theme from Sonic Adventure 2 is really cool, it would be amazing to see you do a cover of it
Pretty good vocalist! Y'all both smashed it!
This sounds soooo good!
