Is it illegal/can you be sued for sampling a 5second voice from a video game character/tv show character talking?

So there are different types of remixing.

If the material is available for free download on the internet, say a song off of SoundCloud for instance, you can do whatever you want to with it without fear of repercussions.

If you manipulate the audio enough, ( a huge gray area still full of contention and risk), you can use it in your track.

I cannot say about video game sounds. I would be careful tho because video games are usually not downloadable for free, at least not the popular well known ones right? The makers usually have money snd resources to find you and sue you.

Or you could email Nintendo or whoever and ask them directly perhaps?
