The line comes from Riders Republic, the Ubisoft extreme sports game released in 2021, where mass races throw a large field of riders into downhill events on bikes, skis and snowboards. Players remember the announcer for shouting exaggerated hype lines at the start, and this bananas call was clipped and shared on soundboards because it captures that frantic pre race energy in just two seconds. It stays popular with gaming editors who need an instant, recognisable countdown voice for races, challenges and chaotic multiplayer moments without using a longer intro.
About this sound
The Riders Republic mass race announcer shouting get ready to go bananas, a short voice line used to hype chaotic starts, races and wild gaming moments.
This is the Riders Republic mass race announcer bursting in with the line get ready to go bananas, delivered fast and loud over the countdown. The voice is bright, over the top and full of forced excitement, like a sports host trying to make the start feel huge. It lasts only a couple of seconds, but the sudden energy and the silly bananas phrase make it instantly memorable. Viewers hear it as a signal that something messy and competitive is about to begin, which is why it works so well as a hype cue before chaos.
