[@alienspacebat5218]

Daniel Farfán Miranda I didn't realize Sonic 3 had a different middle boss theme when I posted this. I've learned otherwise since then. And Doomsday Zone _is_ the true final boss fight of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

[@alienspacebat5218]

One more correction, 4:38 is for the final bosses of both games.

Oddly enough, Eggman's themes always caught me as metal songs especially given his theme of robots and a world of literal metal so I think this sounds exactly as I would've hoped they would. Even though eggman himself is more like a jolly old madman, he certainly used to have a kind of evil charm that disappeared over the years. Pretty good job here.

[@MegaYoteStuff]

he used to just be that jolly old evil madman, but now he's...become an ABSOLUTE madman, he's nuts

[@MegaYoteStuff]

@@Idazmi7 oh i did but i never really thought of it as canon

[@Idazmi7]

@@MegaYoteStuff Being serious: nothing is "canon" in Sonic. it's not like Star Wars, where there's only one singular plot and everything else conforms to it. Even the games don't form any real continuity when you put them together. With that in mind, SatAM's Robotnik is very _very_ much like Jim Carrey's Robotnik when you look at their motivations: both hate organic life for not being predictable, both use egg-like drone pods... I could see Carrey's Robotnik making a Roboticizer. Point is, totally deranged Robotnik isn't exactly a new concept.

Fuck that egg man shit his name is Dr. Robotnik

This would've translated well into the Sonic Movies.

This is good, no doubt. But the one from PirateCrab is better. Check it out

[@danamerica.666]

[@danamerica.666]

2023. I still bust this out in the kitchen at work during closing!! I used to use this as a closing MOP JOB theme to motivate myself + my team to GTFO by the end of the track. If we couldn't GTFO within the just under 8-minutes by that point, we're slacking. Thank you for your service to the Geekdom of VGM lovers around the world!! This is truly one of the best metal BOSS Theme medleys I've ever found in the entirety of the past 10+ years I've been aware of your cover. Knights of the Round are your legitimate peers on this level of musicianship. Well done!!!!!

[@PerfectPencil]

Only song that it's ending gives me an anxiety attack. Going on 13 years and this is STILL the best metal meets robotnik online. Come on Stephen, give us an encore! Pretty please?

[@Daneki]

no encore neccessary, use replay button

[@HeavyRaiden]

Sonic + Rock/Heavy Metal = Awesome

[@CeraisianAlchemist]

The series as a whole needs more heavy metal.

[@onilink0thefur]

I was glancing down at your list ever few seconds to check the song playing, and mostly anticipating that last one, wondering what it could possibly be. Then it played. The bone chilling fear that tune invokes is by far no laughing matter and I thank you for not giving it away.

[@legionbeast]

You're very welcome. I find that... what you DON'T know is far more terrifying than what you DO know, and besides, it gives people visiting this submission something to ponder during the awesome that is these tunes. Thanks again :).

[@yoshubigaming]

Simon The Human loves that Easter egg, on the final boss of hydrocity when you could cause the drowning music to start then jump out the water which would then start this tune

Mr. Platt, all I can say is, I've got this downloaded and have played it at least 100 times since. It's just awesome nostalgic work and does this old music justice.

I find it one of bestest Eggman boss theme! It's really menacing and shows Eggman like a big threat for Sonic and other animals.
