Sonic Mania - FINAL BOSS & TRUE ENDING!

[@DrMechano]

Eggman got betrayed but *didn't* lose out on true final boss status. I love that the final fight is a three-way bout between Sonic, Eggman, and Heavy King.

[@AymenZero]

how did y'all know his name?

[@DrMechano]

Reddo Deado not trying to say the ending is bad, but there was a lot more animation work done in the ending and credits of sonic cd, it seems like they ran out of money or time and couldnt finish properly.

[@theclassic369]

Peter Cottantail Maybe thats because, the guys who Animated CD, actually Animates Dragon Ball

[@pyropyropyro8549]

If they hadn't shown Sonic at the end, I would have thought Sonic actually died

[@kevingame3198]

Mr. Pyromaniac no he survived there's a theory that sonic maina is a prequal to sonic forces

[@eldiegoetc9257]

Yep The sonic of mania is the classic sonic of forces

[@funhow123]

But going though the portal cause him to lose physics and made his dropdash nerfed along with his spindash then proved to really be useless till the end

[@valtos4093]

Mr. Pyromaniac i think that too

[@vissova]

I like that Robotnik and Heavy King are constantly fighting for the Ruby during the boss battle. Usually Robotnik sits it out while Sonic takes care of the final boss.

[@ZlayfersShitpostBot]

Hey we have the same pfp how neat

[@只是約翰紐約市]

I like the fact that Heavy King can damage Super Sonic because it uses power blasts (like magic can be defeated only by magic) while Eggman cannot damage Sonic since he uses mechanisms

[@carso1500]

It seems more like concentrated chaos energy or some weird shit from the phantom ruby

[@navyntune8158]

iirc the Phantom Ruby is the only thing that bypasses the Chaos Emeralds' protection

[@widerekxxanimations6842]

​@BlazingWarior26solaris is another being that can damage someone that's in a super state

@BlazingWarior26 true, even thoguh I was just giving another example, what you do be speaking facts

[@vyntreaux]

Wait until you guys hear about Big Arms

[@proxbox3995]

People are complaining about the ending because it hints that this game ties into Forces, and are even going as far as saying that this ruined the game for them. Look if a game ties into and foreshadows another it's not being a "glorified advertisement" it's called continuity, and i'm sorry but if you're gonna let a CUTSCENE ruin a game as perfect as this then you need to rethink your standards. I'm not trying to shit on the-okay i am, i'm saying your standards are garbage if this ruined the game for you.

[@akumugoji7154]

Jess Araujo I agree entirely

[@cosmelia652]

Thank you! I respect Sonic, but this fanbase is just.... So fucking awful. And that's my nice version.

[@TrueAfricanHero]

Jess Araujo people like you are the reason why no one takes Sonic seriously.

[@TrueAfricanHero]

Daniel Avila if you dont see why, you're just as stupid as him. You may like other people's opinion, but childishly trying to tell off other people because you're offended is just as stupid.

[@TrueAfricanHero]

Daniel Avila the last sentence says it all. Im not saying his views are wrong, the problem is how he said it. Hell, I kind of agree with him, I personally don't like how it ties with forces, but that didn't ruin the game for me.

[@BurstFlare]

2:16 HE'S STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE SUPER SONIC LOSE RINGS?!?! 6/21/2023 Edit: I should've said this from the start, but I was surprised that an *Eggman creation* was able to damage Super Sonic, *not that he was able to be damaged at all!* I am well aware that Super Sonic is able to be harmed by deities and similar entities, it was the fact that *Eggman made him* that made it surprising! And no, I am not counting Big Arms because *that is a glitch!* In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which was originally intended to be the canon version of Sonic 3, that bug was fixed, clearly showing that Big Arms hurting Super Sonic *was not intended!* And no, I don't care if it was retconned so that the separate games are canon instead, the fact they fixed the glitch in S3&K still means that it is *not* canon that Big Arms can hurt Super Sonic because it was not the developer's intention for that to happen! As because some people mentioned that Knuckles was able to knock Sonic out of his Super Form, the reason he was able to do that is because one, Sonic was not expecting it due to being *absolutely unaware of Knuckles' existence* and was relatively inexperienced with the Emeralds, and two, Knuckles has the same, if not greater control over Chaos Energy than Sonic does, (which was demonstrated again by him stopping the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Adventure 2), so it makes perfect sense for him to have been able to do so.

[@rustycookiepekka6875]

Burst Flare it's like big arms

[@BurstFlare]

But isn't this the first time one of Eggman's creations was able to actually harm Super Sonic?!

[@ts-ci4ox]

Burst Flare no

[@spawnshell1]

i cunsider big arms to be able to knock sonic out of super form was because of knuckles teaching eggman the way of doing it in sonic 3 and dark gaia is probs half strong as infinite or same

[@BurstFlare]

I think Big Arms being able to harm Super Sonic is more of a glitch, considering Super Knuckles doesn't take damage from it, and S3&K was intended to be the definitive version of S3 (plus, Big Arms doesn't directly harm Sonic, it slams him into the ground, where as this guy is launching projectiles at Sonic, and it's the projectiles that are harming him).

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW SINCE SONC WASN'T THERE FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS, EGGMAN TOOK OVER! MIND BLOWN! Edit; I understand it's still a theory, but there's a lot of evidence stating this happens to connect with forces. But ask yourself this, where else would classic sonic go? He got shot into the future or a place in time, and you know what else is happening in the future, sonic forces, you know who else appears, classic sonic. Even if the thing doesn't make sense, ask yourself, where is classic sonic going anyway?

Yeah, that'll never happen and I hope it stays that way. Cause really, the Super Emeralds were an unnecessary addition to the series, as by the lore, as all 7 Chaos Emeralds bestow the user with unlimited power that's considered God tier, the Super Emeralds are far stronger than that by ludicrous levels, also it doesn't help that Hyper Sonic's form is rapid changes in color of the rainbow which is seizure inducing.

[@chrisjoseph4224]

Digiking101 I like the fact that this is a prequel to Forces, but I'm glad it didn't have any references to the modern era. It used it's own assests and stayed as it's own thing. The incomplete ending has a conclusive ending and the true ending leaves it open for Forces. The way I see it, at the moment, the incomplete ending is how it happens in the regular Sonic timeline. The true ending is how it happens for the classic Sonic from the other dimension that's talked about in Forces.

[@stormbluerumble664]

I'm are already piecing things together regarding Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces. Both the Phantom Ruby and Infinite have that same sound effect when their powers are in use. Classic Sonic does the same pose in the Mania ending as he does in the first Sonic Forces Trailer. And in the Enter Infinite trailer of Sonic Forces, Tails said that "the readings were all messed up" and that "they don't make any sense." In the final boss fight of Sonic Mania, take a good look at the timer at 1:21 after the Phantom Ruby warped Sonic. The numbers didn't make sense either. The signs are too connected for things to be purely coincidental. SEGA clearly planned this. It'll be interesting to see how this will turn out.

[@itsgabex6459]

"The Ruby must not go into the wrong hands!"

[@shinysamurott613]

In light of this game, it appears that infinite is somehow connected to the gem found by Eggman in Sonic Mania: Same sound similar colour scheme (In that their both primarily reddish) and the ability to travel between dimensions. So here's my the In the good ending sonic defeats the final boss which is using the gem mentioned earlier to power it's attacks. After defeating the final boss the gem creates a portal that sends both it and sonic through and at the end of the cutscene, Sonic is going through the portal and comes out making the same pose he does when he first appears in the trailer for Sonic Forces. So what if Classic Sonic (The sonic that arrived via portal) met up with Modern Sonic and the gem was found by Eggman. But that's not all, what if the reason the gem has similar powers to Infinite is because it is Infinite or rather he was sealed inside the gem like Chaos and the Master Emerald and was let out by Eggman. Then Infinite, perhaps as a way of repayment, assists Eggman in taking over which as we see in Sonic Forces, worked perfectly. That's just what I think happened at the end here

[@Gabriel_2505-otk]

I'm also glad, my friend, that the end of Sonic Mania is canonical, that the story goes from Sonic Mania to Sonic Forces.👍

[@Fractorification]

Gotta be honest, I'm a little disappointed with this final Boss fight. It's nowhere near as iconic as the Death Egg Robot or the Doomsday Zone. They focused too much on making it about a gimmick rather than a more cinematic send off of everything you'd accomplished to stop in the game. For example, in Sonic 2 you have to take out the Death Egg, so the game ends with a final showdown inside it with its main Boss sending it crashing to earth. In Sonic 3 you have to stop Eggman from stealing the Master emerald which is what he was after the whole game, so it ends with a final chase in space to get it back. Here, while you do fight the Hard Boiled Eggies one last time and their King to get the pink gem there's no proper closure to what we did. We don't get enough context on what that gem is or what it exactly it does to raise proper stakes other than it's simply dangerous. And if this ending is supposed to tie into Forces we don't feel that we accomplished that much given that if that thing is how infinite was born we really didn't stop him. Instead, we unintentionally gave him the emeralds so he'd be more powerful or gain a physical form. Long story short: I simply didn't feel as fulfilled the same way as with the other endings in the original trilogy.

[@McJimbles]

Fractorification Same. I found the fights themselves to be kinda boring, too. They're just too easy for a final boss and not as difficult or intense compared to the other games imo

[@moonraven6145]

yeah was hoping he would keep warping you to different final bosses throughout 2d Sonic, sort of like what he does in the non final boss with his robot minions

Despite being arguably a better game, story wise, Mania is absolute wank compared to the original classics. Makes absolutely no sense to compromise Mania's ending just because it's tied in with a game the majority of Mania/Classic fans don't even want.

[@sonicmastersword8080]

That might be intentional, as its supposed to make players that played Mania before playing Forces think, "What have I done?!"

I found this thing to be the absolute worst, shittiest, time wasting, frustrating last boss in a sonic game ever. a better use of my time would be pouring bleach in my eyes, and masturbating with barbwire.

I like how when you're fighting the final boss the time is glitch out showing you're stuck between time and then sonic forces happened.

Anyone notice the Heavy King looks like the Shake King from Wario Land Shake It?

[@logansehy5677]

Encountered a glitch in my playthrough where if you beat robotnik before the yellow robot, nothing happens, they both are gone and you cant do anything but run out of rings.

[@keybladegames_real]

and thats how classic sonic ended up in sonic forces

[@TarnishPrower]

This is definitely one of the worst 2D Super Sonic battles they ever made. You're just going around in circles like an idiot, praying to finally land a hit.

*The Music is so Cool!*

4:34 i thought he died

[@gewoonkyan1399]

2:38 did SEGA make that as one easter egg that it will be continued in sonic forces or did they just ran out of ideas for this song

[@tzk6452]

There is no way that I played this game in 2019 and complete it and never seen this fight, it is 2023 and I think I got this boss fight because of completing the game using Tails and Knuckles

Hey InBetweenGamer I have a question did a fan make your profile pic or did you make it? cause it's great!
