[@caveirainvocada9438]

I love the sense of escalating stakes in this game. First you do an epic takedown at the Death Egg, so it's over right? NO! In fact, that was just half of the game, you go to Lava Reef to stop Eggman definitively, but he steals the Master Emerald and manages to get the Death Egg back up. Knuckles finally gets that he is being fooled, so he helps you go to outer space through Sky Sanctuary to invade it, and it's filled with Eggman's traps that make it super tense to navigate through, and finally as you make through the end he desperately throws every one of his last robots, but thanks to your possession of the Super Emeralds, you are able to stop him. All of this without saying a word. This game is a master class in wordless storytelling

Every time you think you've got him, he keeps on going. Just as any boss would be when determined to get away. This is the pinnacle of final bosses.

I always loved the progression of this. Robotnik's robot fingers - robot itself - him in his eggship after it was destroyed - escape to his main ship and super sonic begins - after main ship destroyed, still tries his damnedest to get away with the emerald in his last robot while still firing missiles at sonic in the hopes that super sonic runs out before he can be defeated. Definitely feels like a final boss, something I don't feel in a lot of modern games now.

Prime example of what Eggman should be, not a whiny manchild who's the butt of the jokes after a defeat, but an absolute menace who absolutely refuses to give up and does not tolerate failure from anyone, not even himself. Combine this level of persistence with Eggman's personality from SA1 and 2 you get the *perfect* villain, someone who while yes does have goofy moments and quirks will absolutely go through any lengths to achieve his goals.

The first time I ever played Doomsday Zone was a total surprise.

Most of my friends at school didn’t have a Sega Genesis, so it wasn’t even like there was banter around the school yard about this level. Boy oh boy, I was incredibly surprised when I brought both games over to my friend’s house down the street after having collected all of the emeralds and wanted to show him what I thought was the final boss. We all just collectively went, “Huh?” when the title card for The Doomsday Zone came up.

this games ending(normal ending) is probably the best ending in any sonicgame.not saying other endings arent good,but come on xD its just epic how that giant robot just follows you with the master emerald and then you follow a defeated eggman to take the emerald back and during all of this,the epic music plays

[@Notusedanymore977]

if someone is thinking whats the music It was used in sonic.exe final boss (destroyed mind act end) and it was used in this game and sonic generations big arms3d on the 3ds

[@dhertsens5617]

The pre-Doomsday zone boss is a bitch. I remember I was close to running out of time on that one so I was like "eh, I'll just time out and I'll restart the level with a full timer" and then you realize that you restart the boss... with no rings.

As a kid i never beat the game game with all the emralds and thought it was just that. But now that got all the emralds as an adult i was blown away by the Doomsday zone. It was such a magical yet intimidating moment lol.

2:59 that final explosion is so satisfying

[@ICE-ing]

If you had hyper sonic you were pro af. Great game though 10/10

[@parasitic777]

Sonic dashes at the robot, until it explodes, Sonic grabs the master emerald, carrying it onto the Tornado, fading out his hyper form. They fly over Angel Island, returning the master emerald to Knuckles, making the island rise again. Knuckles sees them fly by, and thanking the blue hedgehog and the orange fox, Sonic and Tails fly into the distance, as animals follow.

Ive always wondered where they go at the end

[@toxicmanbaby1069]

Someone clarify this for me. For the island to float, it's not necessary for the Master Emerald to be placed in some kind of altar, correct? It just has to be ON the island. Because here, you see the island start to float, even though the emerald is just laying on the grass. Presumably Knuckles will take it to the hidden palace to hide it. But it doesn't HAVE to be there in order to power the island, it just has to be present anywhere on the premises.

[@CookieThug]

the fact that to defeat the secret final boss by having Sonic sacrifice himself to be able to hit is so badass

[@HSangari]

I love how in doomsday zone Eggman doesn’t know what he’s even doing so he’s just shooting every thing he has and running away

[@timmcconnell1162]

These two games linked together were my favorite. I think a replay is in order

[@temitopefaleti7053]

I keep hearing the first completion music in my dream since last month and I can't get it out of my head. It's so weird because my brother and I played this when we were younger #sosad#

[@Matt-nw2te]

Finally... someone who’s actually good at the game

[@Joru0906]

I love at 2:33 egg man just books it with the emerald. Where was he going? He had nothing left lol.

[@JThom-yh3ef]

@6:38 Knuckles, you my friend owe them an apology for the hell you gave them.
