This fight should be longer tbh

fun fact: this is the canonical final boss of sonic 3 and knuckles as knuckles’ story takes place after sonic’s story

Funny how there's a time limit on fighting mecha sonic on phase two

Lavada Curve

My favorite part about this fight is how unexpected it feels. You wouldn't expect the bad guys to actually go Super, would you? It's just something that feels so fanmade-y yet this game is so good they decided to put it to have a worthy epilogue to Knuckles' story.

Mecha sonic in fanon: an literal unstoppable godly killing machine who expunged everything on sight Mecha sonic in canon: get bitched slapped by knuckles even in his super form.

1:05 El momento que cambio mi forma de ver los videojuegos ❤

this should of been a no rings fight having rings makes it too easy

Fanon Mecha Sonic: I can easily solo everyone from Sonic and Mario. Canon Mecha Sonic: *Loses to Knuckles because he can’t stay super for 10 seconds.*

Thus spawned a sprite to be used in an internet series. A series that made an entire generation cower in pure FEAR in his presence for how unrelenting, unstoppable, and borderline menacing he was.

SMBZ: A terrifying threat who’s killed many people S3&K: A pretty simple but fun boss where you can easily beat him

I feel like Mecha is the most versatile robot Sonic, Mark 1 is stronger and bulkier (which also means heavier), Metal is the fastest, and Mark 0 (game gear silver Sonic prototype) is the one that is most likely to be mass produced

Mecha Sonic in Sonic 3 and Knuckles: Who are you? Mecha Sonic in SMBZ: I'm you, But Certified *Multiversal Threat* .

Imagine encountering a boss that decimates *the main antagonist* in ONE BLOW. *AND THEY AREN'T EVEN AT FULL POWER.*

I'LL CRUSH YOU!!!!

This was slightly one of the most lamest final bosses. Couldn't they allow knuckles to turn super as well!!

Que buen ost!!! Ahí te sigo y recomiendo, si querés mira lo que hago. Saludos y éxitos.

Neat how this used to be considered fast for a run of the stage

Everyone saying "Super Mecha lost to Base Knuckles" while he literally takes no scratches from HYPER KNUCKLES' HITS AT SUPER STATE, HE DETRANSFORMING IMMEDIATELY IS A GAME MECHANIC

I love how you can see angel island plummeting straight down, making seem a lot more like a desperate attempt to save angel island from being completely destroyed

When your base form is still stronger than your enemy's transformation.

Probably one of the coolest fights in the whole franchise. No wonder he was picked as main antagonist for SMBZ.

Always remember If this awesome fight sidn't exist, SMBZ's plot wouldn't either

*I'LL CRUSH YOU!*

I used to think mecha sonic was a fanmade thing

I like the way mecha sonic gets rid of robotnik first so he can deal with knuckles awesome game

the first mecha sonic battle was so much harder (sonic 2), not because of no rings but because you couldnt jump on him directly, or spindash into him. you had to spindash and jump right before contact to hit his chest. i wish this fight was harder, and just more recognized

1:04 must be (at least the first time you play the game) the biggest "oh fuck" moment in all of gaming

Always loved that perfectly cued startup of the Doomsday theme when Mecha's eyes light back up

Gente de ahora no es epico Gente que se compro la genesis en su epoca dorada: *THIS IS EPIC*

The greatest boss fight moment in the history of gaming.

*Mecha Sonic in Sonic 3 & Knuckles:* "Oh no, i can't hold power for long time. Oh no, I'm too slow *Mecha Sonic in SMBZ:* "I AM THE MIGHTIEST IN THE UNIVERSE!"

ILL CRUSH YOU

“I’LL CRUSH YOU!!!”

Still my favorite Sonic Boss Theme.

The only metal sonix to harnest the energy of the chaos emeralds into its own unique super form. Best part about it, is that eggman didnt program it to do that. Its AI is so complex it can adapt to any situation

I won't lie...when I first saw this fight as a kid...I thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head. I played the game first as Sonic (obviously) and Mecha Sonic wasn't the final boss. I thought it would be the same with Knuckles. And when he suddenly rushed towards the main emerald... I was like "wait what? You're not done yet?" And then he gets in super power form...and I was like "wait what? he can do that?" No other game on the Sega gave me such a shocking and unexpected feeling, followed by such a satisfying fight.

I'll crush you!

Mecha Sonic fue muy desaprovechado, osea era un robot con un diseño espectacular, las habilidades de Sonic, la capacidad de tener una súper forma y me estás diciendo que Knuckles lo destruyo así de fácil?

Where exactly are we? The master emerald is on Angel Island, but Angel Island in in the background?

Knuckles lucky this ain’t super Mario bros Z

The internet didn’t ruin this character It made him more badass.

144p is lol😂🤣😹

I feel like not enough people talk about this moment. This was 1994. Super forms were introduced one game ago, and now they're being used against you by a mechanical double of Sonic in a last ditch effort to take you out. And as the cherry on top, he's using the very gem that you've been using all game to transform. You have only 3 rings and have to end the last remnants of Robotnik's rule as the guardian of the island. This should be one of the most badass yet terrifying boss fights in all of gaming, but whenever people talk about it it's either "Huh. Yeah, that was neat." or its screaming about SMBZ. Don't get me wrong, SMBZ is awesome but it feels people never stop and appreciate how badass yet unique this moment is, especially for it's time.

You mean to tell me I collected all the emeralds just to not use them in the final battle?
