So much love and care went into this era of games. The music, the sounds, the atmosphere and you didnt have to have hyper real graphics, (though this was a crazy standard at the time)

Plot twist Gamma was a girl the entire time. :3

3:49 *where legends cried*

Is it just me or does Beta MKII look a lot like the Final Boss of Sonic 3, Big Arms.

I always wondered what the meaning of that final flashback in Gamma's head was. Now I'm pretty sure it was the memory of the bird trapped inside him. With Beta and Gamma both destroyed, both those birds can be reunited again.

This is peak fiction.

Dammit, why do I always gotta tear up..well It's just that this whole battle and story is something so beautiful.

Eggman's delivery of "Away! Before I make mincemeat out of you." is the single greatest Eggman line in the series. It's the only time he's ever been genuinely intimidating.

I hope E-101 Beta Mk 2 will be on Sonic Dash & Sonic Forces Speed Battle

Good for you Tails. Love the whole theme of his story of gaining self reliance. The sidekick taking on the main hero's enemy by himself

Hit even harder when you remember that the mother bird powering gamma helped amy and her bird son to get out of the eggjail

Beta angry!! 1:31

Epsilon , not Omega

This boss is not talked about enough as one of the best examples of GOOD boss in this game

I'm always shocked eggman never tried to make another Beta-MK II to fight sonic. It seemed like it was designed for that purpose in mind, the arms could reflect homing attacks, his "charging dash" attack seems like it is also meant to bypass Sonic's normal protective abilities. Also, his ability to almost "teleport" and get high in the air for energy blast bombing runs could take the hedgehog by surprise. Of course, sonic would find a way to win, but its still fun to think of how it would play out. I also think thats why Gamma was still able to beat Beta the second time around, he simply wasn't designed to fight another E100, even an "inferior model".

You can tell the story of a robot gaining a genuine soul and defying his creator's wishes to pursue a noble and heroic goal over and over again and I'll never get sick of it

The fight, the music, ah nostalgia. Good memories.

I shouldn't have reminded myself of this.

Gamma story:was not something devs wanted at the beginning Did the best boss in the entire game

I wish there was a mod that made his boss a bit more hard and extended the amount of time you had to fight em IF ONLY I KNEW HOW TO MOD!

Going out with an explosion that massive really makes you wonder how the bird trapped in Gamma got out without being cooked in the process lol

The feels

Wow. The memories. This game made tiny me sob. No amount of dough needing could have prepared me for that.

Could Sonic have even beaten this thing??

2 weapons made to follow orders. One never modified, never failed and learned the value of empathy. One modified excessively, failed at every turn and only valued what he was made for. both never cared for by their creator. Both taking each other out in a final attempt to stand by their principles. Kindness vs duty. In a way they both accomplished their mission. The flickeys were freed and beta is finally gammas equal in death.

E101 Beta MK 2 would've made a great foe for Sonic to face against.

Like this comment if you aren't the only one who cries to this boss fight or find this as the saddest boss fight in any game. Brother versus brother. Brother 102 sacrificed himself to free his entire family from their programmed lives. Idk why, but ever since I was a kid, I cry to this - and I don't really cry to anything not Clannad or any movies. I didn't know why I cried as a kid, but after playing this game called life, I find E-102's story symbolic of the emotions, and how powerful sacrifice can be in one's life This entire piece is like a masterpiece

Beta doesn't deserve any of this. The remodeling looked stinging for him

3:52 And this is how his mission, legacy and story ends 😭😭😭

For a boss that goes down in 4 hits , Beta Mk2 has a lot of variety in how it can dogde and protect your attacks and also how it can hit you Too bad that the boss fight has a time limit, would love if he took more hits to make the battle even better

Makes me cry every time, genuinely the most underrated boss theme in the entire franchise probs and everyone that does know about it loves it. Gamma is a gem and the battle with his brother whom you fight in the beginning AND in the end as the final boss of his story but upgraded with his sense of revenge for a rematch to then be the birds brother is just such a good story. Such a good story! utilizing the animals inside of badniks and how a robot can have emotion. His piano theme and how’s he’s just represented as a character is perfect. Rest in peace gamma 🥲

1:02 I love this Attack so much!

0:50 xd

this is the only 3d sonic game I really like(minus big the cat) the others are just between ok and bad to me........

say what you will about the delivery of every line being flat, or the multitude of bugs, but this will always be my favorite sonic game yeah sure, sa2 is more *polished* per se, and it does have more stand-out moments (like eggman where he very much should have won (hell imo that's the best he was ever written)), sa1's story is just more impactful with chaos and just all of gamma's story, also i just like how sa1 handles movement

Admittedly, I was never able to like Omega because he felt like a shallow knockoff of Gamma. What a sad story, I really wish we could've seen him again

I have this theory that eggman was able to salvage gammas ai then wiped it using the left over parts of beta and gamma to make Omega.

I wish they had shown betas body shatter like they did zeros instead of just vanishing. It’s still really upsetting to see him convulsing and burning though.

I love how they took some random eggman robot and gave him a Sasuke/Itachi story arc xD

I do have this theory where Gamma could have survived the laser blast. However, the white flicky caused Gamma to perhaps realize he also houses a flicky. To which he realizes his mission isn't complete until the flicky inside of him is free, causing him to self destruct.

0:43 KAMEHAMEHA!!!

Kevin Flaherty: AT 2:34 I wonder how it would've ENDED IF E101 Beta (version 2) hadn't blasted E 102 Gamma

I like how Gamma's story is half of the entire plot of Mother 3 before it was even a real game.

Best boss fight ever.

I never did feel as attached to Omega. Gamma was just built too well (pun intended).

I like to think Omega is an upgraded Gamma seeing as they look so similar. I mean, they probably are, but if not, surely I can’t be the only on to think Gamma and Omega aren’t the same, or at least Omega is a heavily inspired creation off Gamma.

It makes you wonder, does Beta Mk-2 fight Gamma out of malice or a desire for revenge, or is he too far gone in his programing that he'll just simply destroy anything that comes to the downed Egg Carrier; a final mission for no true purpose.

If only there were health bars in this game

There's gotta be a fanfic where Sonic actually faces them all or something. It's like I never watched them do the task they were created for (excpet gamma who fought sonic in-story), omega included

I almost cried the first time seeing him explode. Childhood hurts sometimes
