What U Need
"What U Need " is the level music for Dead Line in the DS game Sonic Rush . The song is played in three different variations within the game. It is played at the selection screen as an instrumental, in Sonic 's acts (which has a high pitched bass as the melody), and in Blaze 's acts (where it is more techno with a violin added for dramatic effect). It also appears as an unlockable song for Final Fortress in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing .

Trivia
This song is just called "What U Need" in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing . This is possibly because the phrase "What U Need Is" is not actually in the song.
The voice sample heard throughout the song (saying "You don't stop, you proceed, 'cause this is what you need") was taken from the sample CD "Skip to My Loops" by Norman Cook, also known as Fatboy Slim. The sample can also be heard in the Expert Course theme in the Irritating Maze arcade game.
