* The little-known rhythm game ''Crackin' DJ'' has a fairly good soundtrack, but the sequel has an ''insane'' soundtrack composed by legendary Sega composers Hiro and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. Notable highlights include:
** "[[https://youtu.be/yD1d0z3nHvE It's All Good]]", a funky song that teaches you the basics, with excited vocals from Takenobu himself.
** "[[https://youtu.be/V-b3q9rme1g Thanks for Nothing]]", a simple blend of blues rock and techno.
** "[[https://youtu.be/Tc62nuBPsk4 Happy Man]]", a bizarre mix of rap vocals, cartoon sound effects, music box melodies, and baby noises. Somehow it works!
** "[[https://youtu.be/jNYBksc7LyQ Sun Dance]]", a cheery song with female vocals.
** "[[https://youtu.be/U2Zu2QLqtEM Sleeper]]", a groovy funk rock song.
** The bonus stage theme, "[[https://youtu.be/Y7BZKRo4EdA Let's Go Away]]". Yes, ''[[VideoGame/DaytonaUSA that]]'' "Let's Go Away".
** "[[https://youtu.be/aS3mVWMGTgo Seven o'Clock]]", the ''other'' bonus stage theme, is a medley of ''VideoGame/FantasyZone'' music, of all things!
