Most Wonderful Sound (Sugar Wiki)/Video Games: Difference between revisions

** In ''Championship Edition DX'', the sound of tens of ghost being eaten in a very short succession is considered very satisfying.

** The [[Every Ten Thousand Points|extend]] jingle.

* ''[[Soul Series]]'':

** [[Big Bad|Nightmare]] is probably this trope personified. "More...''[[Large Ham|NEED MORE]] [[This Is Sparta|SOOOUUULS,]]''" and "I will show you...[[Meaningful Name|the greatest nightmare!]]" come to mind.

** Siegfried's voice [[Crispin Freeman|is]] [[Roger Craig Smith|a Most Wonderful Sound]] altogether.

** And, of course, Swann's guitar riff that plays when you get new shiny toys to play with.

* Similarly for the ''[[Command and Conquer]]'' series.

"[[Kill Sat|Ion Cannon]] ready"<br />

The sound of a Tiberium Wars era Ion cannon building up to that final blast<br />

"Gunship, all checked out."<br />

"That was left handed!"<br />

"New construction options" (So long as you don't have that bug that makes it constantly say it)<br />

"AK 47s...FOR EVERYONE!"<br />

** And the sound effects themselves: the first ''Red Alert'' in particular stands out for the sound effects of the Chronosphere and the Tesla Coil. And of course the opening marching sound effect of the Hell March, but see [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].

*** On that note: ''"Die Waffen! Legt... An!"''

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IYhHSndJoE Welcome back commander.]

* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]: [[Dawn of War]]''

** ''KILL!'' '''KIIIILLL!!''' when the Khorne Berzerkers enter the battlefield.

** The German voice of the Imperial General is just pure Badass. I don't know if this is true in the English version, as well.

*** And many of the things said by Avitus, because he has such a great voice.

** The words ''I HAVE AWOKEN'' and ''TERMINATORS READY'' hold a special place in the heart of a Space Marine player. As does ''HAHAH. THEY WILL NOT LAST THE NIGHT.''

*** Amen. [[Stop Helping Me|ESPECIALLY]] [[Fetish Fuel|the]] [[Stop Helping Me|screams]].

**** Hey, at least she's better than [[Nightmare Fuel|Navi]].

** The Spirit Train's chugging in the title of ''Spirit Tracks''.

** In Twilight Princess, the sound of Midna's B (for the Wii) attack when you're in wolf form. There's just something satisfying about the sound of jumping through multiple enemies in a row.

** "Now I'll show you! HHHHHYYYAAAAHHHHH!!!!!...."

*** [[Big Yes|"HYESZ!"]]

** '''''A NEEEEW RECORD!'''''

** "''This'' game's winner is..." {{spoiler|"Captain Falcon!" ALWAYS.}}

** Starting from Gen II, a meter shows your Pokemon's EXP progress towards the next level. When your Pokemon gains EXP, the meter goes up, accompanied with a sound. If you get a lot of EXP, the tone of this sound increases as it goes up, creating a nice "Wooo!" sound. And, of course, when it hits the end of the meter... "Ding!" "Do do-do-do!" Enjoy your increased stats (and potential new move/evolution).

** The new "low HP warning", a nice piece of music instead of that annoying alarm.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSJ8FMCy-Q4 The Opposing Trainer is in a Pinch!], from Black and White, which plays when the Gym Leader is down to his or her last Mon.

* The ''Goldeneye 007'' intro at the part where the Nintendo logo rushes in. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYTlymX7eF8 Here.]

** Hearing ''at least'' 3 enemy death cries after the "FOOM!" of a fireball landing or the "BRZZP" of a lightning bolt.

* Same goes for [[Planescape Torment]]

** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GESmPxKv1k& One-Up] jingle also brings a smile to many a gamer's face.

** While whistling or humming even the first bar of the original theme will get people's attention almost anywhere.

*** The jingle that plays when you get a Grand Star. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP_7vgwpkys Daaaaa-dada-daaaaa! Do-do-do-dododoooo! Da-da-da da-da-da DA! Dadada!]

*** The sound effect Goombas in that game make when they run Bubububububu [[Goomba Stomp|Whit-What!]]

** The first game's music when you slide down the flagpole.

** [[Yoshis Story (Video Game)|Yoshi!]] ([[Nintendo Capri Sun|So happy! :D]])

** If you don't have it, then the bosses' [[Villainous Breakdown]].

{{quote| ''Nefarian:''This cannot be! I am the master here! You mortals are nothing to my kind DO YOU HEAR? NOTHING!!!<br />

* From ''[[Doom (Video Game)|Doom]]'':

** The gong sound when you get a power-up (Soul Sphere, Computer Map, Partial Invisibility, etc.).

** The sound of the Metal Blades when you throw them. It sounds like...smiting your enemies.

* Oddly enough, this troper seems to find ''[[Mega Man Star Force]] 3's'' [[Bonus Boss]] Sirius' Satellite Blazer attack's extremely loud and high-pitched intializing screech more satisfying than nearly any other sound. If it's on his end, and you have Airshoes or are [[Limit Break|Finalized]], and have that massive damage card ready, and just wait for him to land, a good chunk of his HP comes off. If it's on your end, the enemy's going to take massive damage and isn't going to be moving anywhere for a while. Then again, those are just bonuses. The sound itself has caused this troper to rewind videos and turn up the volume JUST because of how awesome it is.

*** [[Super Mode|FINALIZE!]] [[Title Drop|Black Ace]] / [[One Game for The Price of Two|Red Joker]]

* The sexy female computer voice whenever you enter a [[Mini Mecha|VS]]'s cockpit in ''[[Lost Planet]]'': ''System online. Initializing.'' [[Cargo Ship|Why, hello, beautiful.]]

{{quote| "The mark of my dignity shall scar thy DNA."<br />

"[[Turn Red|Resurrection!]]"<br />

"[[Evil Gloating|'''Kneel''' before your MASTER!]]" }}

** And IV's Seth, the nude and bleach-white corporate executive with a Yin-Yang for a stomach, who stole all his moves from the other fighters, and improved on them:

*** While we're on III, Alex's "You can't escape!" and "I don't lose!" are very nice.

*** Alex also tells the opponent [[Take That|just what they are]]: "WEAK!"

** Round 1, FIGHT!

*** And the battle begins! FIGHT!

*** Not to mention the maniacal, but awesome laugh of Kefka himself. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyZoe-r9qb0 Already 16 years old, and it never fails to impress.]

*** Cyan's and Shadow's themes.

** The sound when a critical hit connects. You can feel the power surging.

** Anything Auron says.

** [[Affably Evil|Gentlemen....]]

** Chk. Vrmmm, crackle. "I am fully charged! / Get zem! Raus, raus!" (Assuming it's your Medic, not theirs...)

*** [[Large Ham|"I LOOOOVE this doctor!"]]

** CHING! CHINGCHINGCHINGZAP! ([[Critical Hit]] noises, aka 3x damage dealt)

* [[Persona 4|Da-ding!]] Your {{color|green|courage}} has greatly increased!

** "shing oooaaah pft!" ''Thou art I...and I am thou...''

** [[The Cutie|"Welcome home, big bro!"]]

** The All-Out Attack quotes are ''full'' of this. "I ''live'' for this part!" "It will end here!" "Out of our way!" And Teddie's simple "Raaaaaawwwwrrr!!"

** "One More!"-- unless you're on the receiving end.

** The "KA-SHINNNNG" sound that precedes an All-Out Attack.

* The whole of ''[[Robotron 2084]]''!

* The whole ''[http://www.spheresofchaos.com Spheres of Chaos]!''

** "Betturrrr." "Hahahaha! It burns LIKE PAPER!" for the Devil King himself.

** In the new properly translated games? "How do you like to feel the dragon's claws... RIPPING YOUR FLESH!!"

** Also, the little "DLING" sound that plays whenever you get a ring.

** The "BWANG" sound of the springs.

** [[Attack Its Weak Point|Destroy the core!]]

** The end of ''Gradius Gaiden'' stage 7: "Black hole vanished. Drive system switched to normal mode."

* Traviss has it right. When playing at maximum difficulty in ''Republic Commando'', the sound of a larty is the sweetest sound you'll ever hear.

* ''[[Space Invaders]]'' Extreme 2- after you win the bonus round: ''You may have won this time but this isn't the end! '''''It's Fever Time!'''

* From ''Space Harrier'': "Welcome to the Fantasy Zone! Get ready!"

* The "Great Divine Intervention" music from ''[[Okami]]''. It helps that it's always accompanied by cutscenes you're willing to play the game over again repeatedly just to watch. This Troper was rather angry at Waka for {{spoiler|reviving the North Ryoshima Coast Guardian Sapling}} for her and cheating her out of a chance to hear that again.

** And of course, there's every time you find a clover. Praise please!

** Don't forget the 'Stray Bead' fanfare. I was so obsessed with finding those things my ears masturbated to that sound.

** Haste. BWOONG BWEENG BWIING...BWEEEOOO, BLEEN BLEEN BLEEN.

** Lucca's Theme. Even the remixes in Chrono Cross are made of absolute epic. Especially when you beat a difficult boss and hear [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2Na7euzCqU&feature=related THIS]

*** Speaking of Robo, this troper has always found the computerized chattery-sound when Robo speaks to be all manner of adorable.

** Nothing beats starting up ''[[Chrono Cross (Video Game)|Chrono Cross]]'' and waiting a minute or two at the title screen, just to hear [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHoq9sK-HXw&feature=related this]. Aaaahhh...memories.

** Each and every time a demon is summoned.

* ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story (Video Game)|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' has this whenever Bowser enters a battle. "SHOW-TIIIIIIIIME" indeed.

* ''[[The Sims|The Sims 3]]'' plays a wonderful jingle when you fulfill a promised wish to your sim.

* In ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]'', if you jump from Flipside Tower, you get to hear a neat falling sound followed by a ''fantastic'' ground-meeting "Dsh!" This serves no real purpose, other than being a faster way to get to the third floor, but the sound is simple yet awesome!

** Alicia: (reduced to half health) [[Super Mode|"I'm a weapon, no, a shield!"]] (takes aim) [[Improbable Aiming Skills|"Don't even think of dodging!"]] (curb-stomps enemy) [[Healing Factor|"What? My wounds are healing."]] (and possibly "Once more, with feeling!" on top of all that) [[Game Breaker|This is the sound of the game breaking in half.]]

** In general, the [[Boom Headshot]] sound effect.

** "Emerald Splash!"

** "MUDA-DA! MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAA~! ZA WARUDO!" *Shiiwunk* "Toki wo tomare!" *Shink, shink-shink!* "Soshite toki wa ugokidasu..." *Shunk* "...ROAD-O ROLLER-DA!! WRYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

** "COME ON! ALL RIGHT! AWWWWWWWW YEAH! YAAAAAAAAAAAHOO! RED-HOT BABY, YEAH!" The sounds of the player racking up an epic slow-motion combo.

* The critical hit quotes from ''[[Killer 7]]''.

** "This is too easy"

** "Hurts doesn't it?"

* [[God of War (Video Game)|"Let the rage of the Titans fuel your blades, Kratos."]]

** The Rage of Sparta theme from the third game. When that theme starts playing, it's time for Kratos to FUCK SOMEBODY UP.

** Also from [[Fire Emblem]], the sounds when a critical or skill activates (provided it's for your character...)

* The high-pitched whine of [[Half Life|Combine radio chatter]] flatlining is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF3k37j_wc4#t=1m1s pretty damn satisifying]. Almost as wonderful is the cry of the last Combine in the squad yelling "OUTBREAK OUTBREAK OUTBREAK!"

* "{{color|orange|[Demon Name] }}[[Strange Journey|became your demon]]."

** The haunting scream you hear when a [[Useless Useful Spell|Mudo or Hama]] spell deletes your enemy from existence.

** The victory theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9INnbLFCTdE&feature=related "The End"]. [[Fridge Brilliance]] kicks in when you {{spoiler|finish the Neutral route and find that this theme, indeed, plays in the Neutral ending, during the post-credits scene.}}

* The sound in [http://www.firstpersontetris.com/ this] [[Tetris (Video Game)|Tetris]] game when you clear four rows at once.

*** Particularly if said by the Ragman for his soft, deep chanting or Acheron with his quick and to-the-point rapid throwing of one word after the other. And then of course there's the sound of whatever superspell you were casting activating. Hearing that mole in the ground stop, the skies light up in a blaze of glory, the sound of giant beanstalks growing out of the ground, that howling wind or [[The Grim Reaper|that]] [[Evil Laugh|chuckle]].

** Pretty much anything a titan says:

"[[Badass Boast|I am death incarnate]]."<br />

A [[Mighty Glacier|Rhinok]]'s [[Evil Laugh|chuckling]].<br />

* The victory theme from [[Heroes of Might and Magic]] and the sounds of moral and luck effects.

* A little-known example is the ''shunk'' of an arrow hitting an enemy in Champions of Norrah/Return to Arms. Particularly if your enemy was well off-screen and you were able to shoot them completely blind, based solely on the direction ''they'' were shooting ''you'' from. On the first try. (Yes, this is possible, and indeed, the most satifying art to master)

* [[Resident Evil 4]] probably owes at least ten percent of its success to the wonderful, full-bodied splatter you get every time you blow off an enemy's head.

** Especially if Leon [[Suplex Finisher|suplexed the enemy]].

** ''Anything'' said by Veronica or Boone.

** [[Patriotic Fervor|"EMBRACE DEMOCRACY OR YOU WILL BE ERADICATED."]]

* For this troper, everything that [[Super Smash Bros]] has is an eargasm. Anything that the characters say during their [[Limit Break|Final Smashes]] is just awesome.

** Falcon...PAWNCH!

** Pi..Ka....CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

** [[Metal Gear|It's showtime!]]

* The anti-aircraft turrets from [[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal]], after activating the nodes to turn them on. Thump thump thu-thu-thu-thu-thu...

* [[Mass Effect 2]]: The opening bar of the main theme, though YMMV. It's seriously dark, and the title of the main theme is "Humans are Disappearing" so it's not a happy leitmotif, but that sound ''itself'' is just so awesome.

* When Max comes up with a new invention in ''[[Dark Chronicle (Video Game)|Dark Chronicle]]'', you get a cool fanfare and Max yells, "Yeah, it works!"

* Hearing the sound effect for Ike's Mastery Skill Aether, in [[Fire Emblem Tellius (Video Game)|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]. You know whoever you're up against is going down.

* ''[[Crimzon Clover]]'':

** '''[[Limit Break|LEVEL FIVE! MP BURST!]]'''

** SCENSION! AAA-SCENSION!! TRAAAN-SCENSION!!!

** '''[[Fight Woosh|FIGHT!]]'''

** The first few notes of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC2SDdMEGLE&feature=related The Valedictory Elegy]. Even [[Baten Kaitos (Video Game)/Awesome Music|better]] if it's the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZJU9v5f6RQ&feature=related guitar version].
