Sonic Mania | Metallic Madness Acts 1 & 2 - Sonic 1 Final Boss!

The penultimate level in Sonic Mania, Metallic Madness reminds me of Scrap Brain from Sonic 1 - particularly as it features the final boss in that game as the boss at the end of Act 1.

Ngl, if they had a sonic game with EVERY zone but with one act and a combo in between, I'd for think its the best so far. For example Green hill + Chemical Plant = Industrial hill

I didn't care much for the CD version of this level, but the Mania version is the best Zone in the game. If you had told me a year ago that Mania would make Oil Ocean good and Metallic Madness awesome, I wouldn't believe you.

[@TurtlSoup]

Joe Flaherty Unfortunately Oil Ocean is still a shit level. And MMZ is just a life eater

[@xenozenith19]

@@TurtlSoup oil ocean isn't shit,that's your opinion,I know it is somewhat inspired by sandopolis,but it's still unique in its own way. Metallic madness is a life multiplier and Titanic monarch is life eater.

[@senzusamuri5925]

You should man to be honest I think sonic cd is better than sonic 1 and 2

I looooove how regular this video is. Just a standard run even the obvious goofs you kept in. This was perfection buddy I'm definitely subbing. Good run my guy

[@michaelmack7710]

I love the rap battle that sonic and egg man had in the entire zone.

[@StormTrooperEX]

people say sonic is a silent protagonist in the classic games and in mania but if u listen to the lyrics in act 1 of metallic madness hes clearly spitting hot bars at eggman

[@hackerman203]

Same with eggman in act 2

[@UnbeatableRobin8582]

Both act 1 and act 2 of the song is about to be stuck in my head

[@AntHazuki]

The soundtrack is ace - I bought it on vinyl :)

[@julianwest4030]

Wow. Technology has finally progressed to where we can now properly incorporate sonic into a 3D space.

[@jagerzaku9160]

Snusk

[@MisterVercetti]

Poor Sonic 1. Not only did it only get one zone represented (and that being the one that's by far _over_ represented), but its final boss got demoted all the way down to _miniboss._ _Ouch._

[@ilovemycataiko]

so did sonic 2’s :( all the way in the first zone

[@luigihoratio5101]

Metallic Madness Zone feels a lot more like a world of mindfuckery, than a world of destruction...... The graphics are more godly and the level is more adoring than the Sonic CD counterpart :)

[@MilkIsTheOne]

Background design cranked up to 100 holy s_it

[@omarpikm2101]

The budget for this zone went to the soundtrack and background design This zone's also good in every other way

[@bananadaily2317]

i feel mania is just a better version of cd

[@luigihoratio5101]

@@bananadaily2317 totally agree. Albeit a bit tougher than the CD counterpart, but so much better.

[@decades5125]

Metallic madness being a world of mildfuckery makes sense. I mean it is called metallic *madness*

[@rileysymonette4029]

I love how they aren’t afraid to put tons of detail into not only the background, but the foreground as well! I sure am! That’s why Green Hill is the only zone I can draw.

[@ExoticCosmo]

man, this sonic cd reference made me smile.

[@AntHazuki]

Yes its great :)

[@TSPH1992]

One of the best designed sonic levels I have ever played through

[@AntHazuki]

Yes I agree.

[@demetriuskafkoulas5005]

@Holden The Gamer And yet despite the fact that the original had such stupid level design, it was still only the second worst zone in the game.

[@GammaStar]

The act 1 to 2 transition always has me gagged its so good I love it

[@nedagamer9436]

[@GHDiddyKong]

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Sonic Mania are the best platform games of this decade.

[@GHDiddyKong]

Super Meat Boy is amazing. It's dynamic and cool stuff. I don't like Rayman series much, but i saw this game and i kinda like it. Another franchise that i miss a good game is Kirby, after Amazing Mirror i didn't like none of them.

[@GHDiddyKong]

It would be cool if they continue with another references and bring another old zones back, like hill top, quartz quadrant, spring yard , etc... Also I'd like to see some of Advance and Rush zones adapted to this mechanics. Fixed up with good design, of course.

[@GHDiddyKong]

But i was talking about the rayman legends game '-'

[@GHDiddyKong]

No problem, bro

[@Convoy143]

Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy is good tho

[@richie6337]

Omg, Metallic Madness gets more hard to play, but, sincerely, the soundtrack is beautiful , this makes up for the difficulty of the level.

[@Ballcrunch]

Metallic Madness.... YOUR BACKGROUND IS EVEN MORE MAGNIFICENT THAN IT WAS IN SONIC CD AND THE MUSIC HOLY SHIT. THIS LEVEL USE TO BE KNOWN TO ME AS THE scrap brain zone 2.0 -_- BUT AFTER BEATING MANIA I TRULY GREW TO APPRECIATE THIS LEVEL. ITS NOW ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES JUST FROM THE GIMMICKS, LEVEL DESIGN, MUSIC, AND DETAIL TO THE BACKGROUND. THE LEVEL JUST GIVES OFF SUCH A TERRIFYING FUTURISTIC VIBE!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

[@jasonharris3502]

I never would have guessed that that I would see this Zone again. Old tricks as well as some new ones. Is the Act 1 a mix of Past and Present or is my mind playing tricks on me?

[@Gabo2oo]

It has the intro section of the Past track and rap vocals like the Present one, at the very least.

[@joelshepherdultrainstinctm7605]

Present and bad future fused

[@juan.3077]

Act 1 is mostly past and act 2 is present and bad future mixed

[@jasonharris3502]

I THOUGHT that's what it was. Thanks!

[@omeralenzi3984]

Sonic 1 FInal boss at Mania has great difference instead of 4 smash hammers has 5 and has 2nd phase where is continuously active 1...2...1...2... not 1......2(Balls)

[@Baldoxxx4000]

I dont feel the same feeling i had when i played it on Sonic CD (american ver) from my pioneer, must be the music or the graphics

[@Mystero150]

Could be the music since this game only remixed the Japanese OST of Sonic CD (US & JP has different soundtracks)

[@cumulonimbuscapillatus9312]

The music really changes the mood of this level. US version feels more serious and grand. Though it's weird hearing that cause Act 1 uses the Past theme, which is present in both versions. Maybe you didn't get the generator back when you were a kid?

[@KL53986]

and Sonic 1 Mania Final boss has 8 hearth points in original but 4 in each phase

[@chronox7781]

That sonic 1 final boss is so hard

[@STQS]

"Metallic masness ost" The main reason of my visit

[@awesomeaustin5704]

The boss of act one (especially the second stage) has been giving me anxiety I keep getting crushed

[@bmasters1981]

All you really have to do is just keep moving around, and above all, have above-average reaction time, and you should be safe (far as I can recall).

[@jasonharris3502]

Does anyone have any good ideas for a transition to the next Zone because I was thinking Sonic could jump on a piston that shoots him through a couple of breakable blocks then straight up then when he appears in the next Zone he appears like in Lava Powerhouse or The Machine from Sonic Spinball and make the same sound effect too.

[@chuyrenteria6252]

They look into the background to notice two eyes, which the lightning then illuminates the whole area: titanic monarch (also if you bring tails along, he gets scared by lightning, a direct callback to his meteorphobia, a.k.a, fear of lightning.)

[@gneu1527]

4:10 Robotnik, did you fix the destroyed machine?

[@ursaenme]

Lol Sonic is smaller than Tails

[@datsunracer9378]

Remove the rings from the levels and this game literally becomes the "Dark Souls" of platformers.

[@Philandhisdog]

I'm afraid that title would go to crash bandicoot remastered

[@matimate8172]

act 1: near past act 2: near future

[@looperinga]

i know this comment is 3 years old, but let me prove this wrong, compare the buildings in act 1 to the good future of metallic madness in CD, they have striking similiarity, so this is present, just the good future is starting to be made

It’s the sonic 1 final boss!!!

[@tylerd1297]

Yeah man personally i'm not like super excited for Mighty and Ray but other fans are so I'm glad for them. I'm hoping for a new zone or two, but Whitehead usually makes almost all his games worth my money haha

[@AntHazuki]

Whitehead and his team are supremely talented thats for sure!

[@bmasters1981]

8:35 mark-- I don't ever go into this area (there are two areas like this) without a shield on of some sort, because I learned a time back that if you do not have a shield on, and one of these spiked platforms comes down on you, not only do you lose your rings, but you die at the same time (however, if you do have a shield, or are in your Super form, all that happens is that you die, and the effect is not as gruesome).

[@TOWRR67563]

5:48 this song tho….

[@mariadestefano9126]

Is fire!

[@juan.3077]

I think I'm the only one who thinks the original metallic madness music is better than the mania version

[@Mixa_YuZz26]

No you're not. I also prefer original tracks over remixes. Basically, because Metallic Madness should have serious and epic atmosphere, and a funky type of music simply doesn't fit it.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Nice

[@RprSonic]

What's bull crap is that the 2nd boss fight is easier than the 1st one

[@ernestmerisier4773]

I’m sorry but manias metallic madness act 1 music sounds to kiddy at the start,like this is a eerie place like sega…

[@Mixa_YuZz26]

That's the exact reason why I wasn't satisfied by most of the Mania soundtracks. I didn't liked the direction, which composer has chosen (and Metallic Madness is a perfect example)

[@huwpickrell1209]

Boss 1 is stupid hard. Thats why i have given up and put the vd away.

[@bmasters1981]

It's much easier if you find the Lightning Shield and keep it, because the energy balls won't hurt you, and you can concentrate on keeping out of the way of the pistons.

[@reighnaldranch635]

Though Metallic Madness is not that hard, the bosses ARE. Especially the Act 1 boss, it's like Sonic 2 Death Egg but one-hit deaths are now getting crushed plus an additional NOHDUYHR laser balls. But thanks to the drop dash and spin dash, it makes it quite easier. The Act 1 boss has a super hard time limit that is within 1 minute. You musn't miss a hit, in both phases. If you want to know what NOHDUYHR means, it means "not one-hit death unless you have rings."

[@Ermonacodimontagna]

Actually the first boss is not hard but you need to be careful,and the second boss is just one of the easiest but also very intresting and i love it
