FACT #37
Two distinctive samples from the Sonic series - the “Get Down!” sample from Sonic CD’s Stardust Speedway and the whispered “slam” sample from Sonic Adventure 2′s “Masters of the Desert” (the King Boom Boo and Egg Golem boss fight theme) - are used in the ending credits theme to the arcade version of the first Virtua Fighter. All three of these SEGA-developed games like pull from the same sample packs (”Get Down” comes from Masterbits RAPsody).
(mad respect to Evan Prower and his amazing video on Sonic and SEGA samples for discovering this great fact.)
