Final Boss Fights of Mainline 3D Sonic Games (1998 - 2024)

[@Troy_925]

Just to clear a few things up 1) I didn't include Shadow the Hedgehog because I don't actually own that game 2) I chose the Wii version of Unleashed because I don't own the HD version either lol

[@Milonoto]

So what you're saying is that this video is completly useless clickbait and that we shouldn't subscribe to your channel EVER?

[@Troy_925]

Tell me exactly where I said any of that, because first of all, just because I missed one game doesn't make the entire video clickbait. The title doesn't say EVERY 3D Sonic game I know I could've asked to use someone else's footage, but I prefer to use my own

I love how Sonic bosses went from ha ha, funne Eggman, to *incomprehensible gods and monsters* to funne Eggman again, then right back to *incomprehensible gods and monsters.*

[@tjz3158]

Gotta keep them on their toes somehow 😅

[@P._diddy_disciple]

Even though half of these boss fights are a nightmare to control and play, one thing is for sure, the spectacle in these fights is amazing

[@chillin7934]

Pretty much the old Sonic games, wonky controls, still they’re great games

[@billyo3998]

Every boss fight music is peak. Final phase Solaris is chefs kiss

[@thefollower2933]

Most Sonic Final Bosses look amazing, but Solaris is probably my favourite Design out of the whole bunch, it just looks so cool in a way I can't really describe, its probably one of my favourite character designs period tbh

[@capnflamesword]

Solaris does have a good design, but you can tell Sega was low on money when it came to him. I really want Sega to remake Sonic 06 just so we can see what Solaris actually looks like finished.

[@Ultra-Magnus-]

Man 20 years of 3d games and the fianl bosses are still pretty rough. I think Dark Gaia and Chaos do it the best by having more involved gameplay. The new Devil Doom fight also did a really good job at implementing the core gameplay into a boss fight.

[@Animeman1993]

It feels like with every game Sonic deals with more dangerous godlike beings but Solaris is a whole other league compared to Time Eater or Dark Gaia, hell it required 3 super form hedgehogs to beat him. Makes me wonder how Eggman is even capable of manipulating some of them. My personal favorite has to be Finalhazard. The music, atmosphere and the things at stake just make it a fitting final boss before the more crazier villains started being introduced. My second pick is Metal Overlord. The fact Metal is so desperate to show his superiority over Sonic just cements him as the PERFECT rival for Sonic.

[@EnclaveStormXL]

OH NO SONIC 06’S TRUE FINAL BOSS… THE LOADING SCREEN 20:06

[@knuckson8304]

Solaris was a different breed

[@Edgysemmy]

Based

[@TheNoobWasHere]

Fr bro existed during the past present and future

[@NovaPrime-91]

Solaris was a strong antagonist but the end is way stronger and my opinion a better villain

[@knuckson8304]

@@NovaPrime-91 nope, literally planet buster is the only feat he has. Only hyped himself up cuz of the fraud he is according to Flynn and has the worst design out of all the main villains. He's about as one dimensional as dark gaia too Also the end literally cant do anything againtss Solaris trascending time I see you got a marvel pfp and just like DC fans yall are pretty known to one of the worst powerscaling communities out there dont feel like I should humor you since you clearly turned this into a powerscaling thing outta nowhere but I'll bite

[@Nite-Rise]

Took three hedgehogs to take him out in THREE DIFFERENT TIMELINES That’s as peak as it gets

[@sunsetpov824]

Perfect dark Gaia is by far the best, especially with the song being a remixed version of the vocal theme

[@Exeternal_Beyonder_Of_Doomsday]

Some music be like that

[@sonicpitre1]

The wii version wasn't the best

[@icecontrol1]

I still can't believe they didn't change anything from the Time Eater, should just ported the one from the 3DS, at least that one is decent Probably one of the worst fights in the entire series

[@ninlaw9810]

should have atleast added sonic youth as the theme

[@jamainegardner4193]

The fight just feels like it take too damn long because it never feels like you're able to get in range.

[@Exeternal_Beyonder_Of_Doomsday]

I agree And it's not as epic either compared to most

[@owendinostudios1200]

I love Solaris, the story the game the design the music, everything.

[@P._diddy_disciple]

I can excuse the game design, and the music. But the story and "everything" is kinda stretch

[@Exeternal_Beyonder_Of_Doomsday]

​@@P._diddy_disciple They ain't that bad honestly Sonic is still Sonic Shadow is at his peak Silver is a fantastic inclusion Mephiles being the peak villian Bosses with their own unique mechanics with those noice graphics And Eggman really works as a villian and he manages to be scary and creepy (And not just because of his design) The story was really great It just needs fixes mostly on parts where Eggman can help with mechs and fix Knuckles and Tails's characters And the gameplay itself I didn't even need to talk about And even the glitches and bugs can make the game even more fun You can also qualify this game as a unintentional horror game Where the humans are a uncanny valley The very very dark story and pieces of the soundtracks Not to mention Crisis City and Flame Core and I think I'll even mention Aquatic Base with the dark moments and the interesting music depending how you take it as well But Solaris, Mephiles, Iblis and Eggman Make the story very dark lol Solaris destroys everything and you get that music when you get the chaos emeralds And along the designs of humans Another piece of unintentional horror content is how empty the environments feel as well it can feel kinda eerie and it could make other people question what happened to everyone and you can make theories for that and the relationship of Sonic and Elise (I don't think they meant to make this creepy at all honestly something tells me their supposed to be just friends but unintentionally they made it uncomfortable which just adds the horror to this game lol) Sonic 06 is just a very interesting game and I won't change anything about it except for some things of course

[@P._diddy_disciple]

The game’s attempt to place Sonic in a hyper-realistic, darker narrative-like his relationship with Elise-feels a bit forced and awkward,(like with them constantly winking at eachother) creating moments that may feel more unintentionally uncomfortable than artistically "horror-like" Despite Sonic, Shadow, and Silver bringing their unique gameplay, the level of polish in their mechanics varies widely. Tails and Knuckles, for example, are limited to playing side roles with somewhat broken mechanics such as Knuckles getting stuck in walls, or tails so speed and finicky ring bombs, and stiff controls that don’t match their characterization from previous titles. you’re frequently dealing with frustrating mechanics instead of seamless transitions between characters’ play styles While I do find so.e charm in the game’s glitches, most of the time the numerous bugs and unrefined mechanics becomes a serious flaw. The lack of polish, game-breaking bugs, issues in character movement, and frequent camera problems all add up fir a frustrating experience. But going back to the games “unintentional horror. The environments are empty environments and oddly designed humans. The sparse NPC interactions and barren cities makes the world feel lifeless, not eerie, which detracts from an immersive experience. A more fully realized city, populated with well-designed characters, could have done more to make players feel invested. Like Sonic Unleashed. Sonic 06 bosses are frustrating and straight up broken at times. Although some bosses in Sonic 06 introduce unique mechanics, others feel repetitive or tedious due to control issues and camera angles. Most notably, levels like Crisis City and Flame Core are too repetitive due to excessive obstacles and challenges that seem to favor frustration over fun. With better pacing and design adjustments, these levels could have been refined to feel challenging yet rewarding instead of exhausting. There was also some crazy missed Potential with villains. While Solaris, Mephiles, and Iblis add darker elements, they aren’t fully explored or developed, making them feel like missed opportunities. Eggman, despite his creepier portrayal, still suffers from an awkward transition into the game’s realistic visual style. This inconsistency may dilute the intended impact, making his character less compelling and more unsettling in a confusing way. But this is just my opinion tho

[@owendinostudios1200]

@ yap yap yap it’s a great game imo

[@Exeternal_Beyonder_Of_Doomsday]

​@@P._diddy_discipleHonestly I do not think they missed any potential Maybe Solaris But Mephiles and Iblis were definitely explored Especially Mephiles And it is really interesting The reason I mentioned about the emptiness is because if your imagination runs it can make that stuff creepier It makes these areas like a liminal space due to the lack of life It's basically like Halo CE after you kill everything with the textures Halo has something very simular

[@MuhammadIbrahim-hp4ld]

Solaris Phase 2 music is just... perfect.

[@collinfitzpatrick3413]

The boss fights from Sonic Frontiers are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rickyronny4019]

Love how Sonic been fighting gods ever since he transitioned into 3D 😂

[@msslamajama2]

Even though Secret Rings is awful I think Alf Layla Wa Layla is a really good boss and very underrated. It makes you use the time ad speed break abilities in cool ways, is decently challenging and darkspine sonic is awesome. It and especially the Erazor Djinn fight are the best parts of the game

[@jackdefilippis3465]

METAL OVERLORD🗿🗿🗿🔥🔥🔥

[@roiroije6326]

You could really tell that Sonic Team lost a ton of respect for itself after Unleashed when four bosses in a row are just Eggman in a different machine. Glad to see they’ve finally found that respect again with Frontiers and Shadow Generations.

[@JayKreuz]

Weird thing to say when all of the classic games had final bosses that were just Eggman in a machine.

[@flameosaurus1832]

How is having the main villain of the franchise as the final boss a sign of losing self-respect

[@rickyronny4019]

⁠@@flameosaurus1832overusing the same boss mechanic since Colors for the next two games. Time Eater is the only exception

[@jaquejoybaby]

​@@JayKreuzbut it was not lazy reskins of the same boss fight

[@Joshpox]

Or maybe they got bored of the god monsters and thought their main antagonist deserved some time to shine

[@nick-np1bb]

I'm glad they moved away from the weird power ups (secret rings, werewolf etc.) and automatic running games. Gotta get back into sonic games, it seems they are doing things right once again!

[@VictorRodriguez-ff2rv]

You forgot shadow the hedgehog final boss (came after heroes and before 06)

[@Troy_925]

Yeah, only reason I didn't include it is because I don't actually have that game so I couldn't play it lol

[@o.h.x-9062]

⁠​⁠@@Troy_925And I suppose you don’t have Sonic Unleashed on XBOX 360 either? Because believe it or not, the XBOX 360 version is better than the Wii version.

25:05 Fun fact! 'Alf Layla wa Layla' is Arabic for "One Thousand and One". When he says "I AM the Arabian Knights!" in the cutscene, it was literal.

[@Karianysu]

Devil Doom is a big upgrade from The End. Still, Perfect Dark Gaia is still the most epic thing ever

Yeah i just wish the video hadnt used the wii version of the dark gaia boss fight does the boss no justice.

@@theredblur9598 Nop, to me, the HD is easier. But I say it because the SD has a box fight between Dark Gaia and the Gaia Colossus, and not just an approach and Quick Time Events.
