It's funny. If you're playing the Toy Story 2 PS1 tie-in game you might expect the soundtrack to be Randy Newman-style easy listening jazz. And that's mostly true. But for some reason they decided the first level theme needed to be a Yoko Shimomura overworld theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1z...

Okay I spent the last week listening to the Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure soundtrack and now I have compiled my thoughts. Walk with me.

• Play Like Us (Li'l Romeo) - He's actually cooler than I'll ever be so what even is the point. "All the girls gonna be at the playground / so y'all know where I'm gonna be at" is one of the best opening lines to any song ever. Did Li'l Romeo know who Richie Rich was before this song? Is it actually cool at all to compare yourself to Richie Rich.
• Pacific Coast Party (Smash Mouth) - I unironically love Smash Mouth and this is one of my favorites of theirs. Oops. This had to be one of the earliest disco revival songs, right? They were ahead of the curve. I think this is the only track in this game that uses a radio edit.
• Downfall (TRUSTcompany) - This is just discount Linkin Park but I loved Linkin Park when I was younger so it's fine.

• Where's Your Head At (Basement Jaxx) - Actually might be too good for this game. This is probably one of the only songs here to not be known primarily for featuring in this game. I just found out recently this came from the same album as Do Your Thing?! Crazy. Anyway it's in my heavy rotation now.
• Grow Up (Simple Plan) - This game saved Simple Plan from being primarily known as the Scooby-Doo band. Were Simple Plan kind of age regressing with it in this song? Kind of hard carries the game I have to admit. I love pop punk.
• Spinnin' Around (Jump5) - MAJOR guilty pleasure. I didn't appreciate it when I was younger but that chorus is like scientifically perfectly sweet. I kind of miss this era of 2000s bubblegum pop... I didn't know these guys were a Christian band.

• Get A Clue (Simon & Milo) - The music video for this one is great. I like the guy with the big sopping wet anime eyes. The song itself is fine. If the country of Canada was an anime this would be the opening theme.
• The Energy (Audiovent) - Most post-grunge sounds pretty much the same to me. This one is fine. I like the crescendo in the intro.
• Sell Out (Reel Big Fish) - This is probably the other one not known primarily for featuring in this game. The best to ever do it. I'd be fine with being a one-hit wonder if this was my one hit. Ska punk rulessss.
• Here We Go (Grits) - Is this also a Christian song? I'm pretty sure he says "groomed by Christ". Anyway this one is really really good. Awesome sample. You ever seen a dead man walk before?

• Live In Stereo (Newsboys) - Sound the alarm it's another Christian song. The children's choir is a bit much but I think it's really good overall. There's themes and metaphors in the lyrics. The verses' chord progression is great.
• Perfect Kinda Day (Lisa W.) - This is a Disney Channel sitcom opening theme.
• Somewhere On Fullerton (Allister) - Yeah, I'm definitely a pop punk fan. I missed this one when I was younger but I'm appreciating it more now. Apparently these guys were big in Japan? I like this one a lot. It's very bittersweet.

Parody of the PS2 Flipnic boxart for Mario Pinball Land on the Game Boy Advance, featuring a variety of stock art from the game. The title reads "Mario Pinball Land is an underwhelming perplexing mediocre pinball game for you".

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is about having a brief but intense toxic whirlwind romance with a trickster god. I've been there. Who hasn't?

Sparkling Star Punch! @sparklingstarpunch.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I'm always thinking about how the lyrics of His World make Sonic the Hedgehog sound like some kind of trickster god. "Intergalactic continental champ, running things / Hyperactive, instrumental, and pulling strings". It's his world and we're just living in it

Doing a Hello Kitty crossover with your only characters being Hello Kitty and Kuromi is so funny. It's like if you did a Mario crossover and only picked Mario and Vivian

i think genuinely my favorite new piece of media i got into this year #umiharakawase

Illustrations of the character Umihara Kawase from the serues of the same name. The top left illustration depicting her in a baggy sweater with a somewhat stern look at the viewer, the fish viewable from the game's Game Over screen beside her. Below that is an illustration of Kawase on a beach, in a one-piece swimsuit, holding up a peace sign and winking at the viewer. Beside both is a full-body illustration of Kawase from the side, wearing the sweater over her swimsuit, wearing her pink backpack and some matching pink crocs.

I think Plok and Ristar could be bumped up a tier. Fuckable in a certain demographic. Plok's instruction manual opens with a spiel about why you should fuck Plok
