When you think about the fact that Sonic and Blaze are both playable and they're also bosses: *you feel cooler knowing that you're playing as a boss character*
Additional note: Blaze is already a princess and the guardian of the Sol Emeralds, while Sonic is one of the few people who has canonically maintained control of the Chaos Emeralds' power for a non-sinister purpose. (Bonus points for the fact that Sonic later goes on to become a legendary knight and king)
Incredibly underrated Sonic game. I unfortunately can't play it anymore, I lost the cartridge somewhere a few years ago. :( Sonic Rush Adventure was great, too.
I remember listening to the music getting sped up when the boss was low as a kid and I would just get pumped up and excited all of a sudden. The OST of this game is so, so great.
*You need a masterball to catch it or it will keep breaking free from the ultra ball so get your gameshark/codebreaker advance masterball cheat code ready*
I feel like it would be a cool detail if cream was a bit nervous or something, but it makes sense for tails because he doesn't know the opponent (blaze)
Sal the Commenter Me too. I had a fucking pain in the ass trying to beat that one boss when I was 6. I had to get my older brother to beat it for me. I mean, I can beat it now easy as fuck, but back then...
Aj styles Only sonic game I ever played in my childhood, and one of the few "good" sonic games. I will ofcourse take a quality mario game over sonic any day but this game is kinda special.
a thing I found when I was little in the egg salamander is that if you press a and b repeatedly like in the sonic vs blaze fight when sonic and blaze do their finisher move the egg salamander leaves the screen sooner lol
@@angryboi595 I dunno about the Sonic Advance games. From what I've seen, those have some pretty horrible level design. (And I don't mean "horrible" as in "badly made". I mean "horrible" as in "just plain spiteful to the player".)
can we just appreciate the subtle animations in that final handshake between blaze and sonic? I think it really let their different character aspects shine. definitely had more charm than some of these new games...
Wow I would have thought that Sonic Rush was old enough to still have the original voice actors for Sonic and Eggman. I guess I just found out that Griffith and Pollock started in '05. Cool
Super Sonic has always had a timer based on the amount of rings you have (so the player can't just breeze past the levels while being invincible, the ring timer doesn't exist in the lore) since he was introduced in Sonic 2.
I remember the Mirage Road boss was my first exposure to Sonic, even before I played Sonic 2 for the first time. I was watching someone else fight it but totally forgot. The memory was rekindled years later when I fought it lol
This brings back memories my first nintendo game when i was young. I cant believe i lost it when i was 8 even though i already won it. But it was still so rememarble

These games deserve another chance. They were a fascinating mutation of the classic sonic formula that can do well as smaller scale titles in between major releases.
One thing that SEGA should be doing again is allow the main characters to be boss fights again and that they actually make a good vs.character boss fight especially when it comes to Sonic
I'm really not a fan of sonic, but goddamn, this game was so much fun, I remember playing the hell out of this as a kid. The Egg Eagle was the hardest boss in my opinion, almost broke my DS 3 times lmao
Thanks! This really helped me to figure out how the HECK you kill Sonic's final boss! I tell no lies, I was struggling to beat him for nearly FOUR MONTHS without a scooby-doo what to do!

I realize how insane these bosses were now than to other sonic games from the forest to a city to a ruin to a battleship to the sky and literal fucking space
I love this game! It's one of the faster Sonic games out there, on levels of speed with Sonic Unleashed: Wii (Really great game, by the way) And I even know a trick to the boss stages: If you charge a SpinDash and jump right after, you get a MASSIVE speed boost!
Damn these memories are flooding In.Also I remember the final boss was a pain In the ass to finish but you make It look so easy but It probably Is easy

28:44 Super Sonic - sonic's super form powers and speed increased. Cause the 7 chaos emeralds 29:00 Burning Blaze - blaze's super form named after her fire powers. Cause the 7 sol emeralds
This game in 2020 is still the fun game and honestly? The bosses in Sonic Rush were strong I’ll admit. ESPECIALLY THE BOSS WITH THE ARMS WHERE IT TRIES TO SHAKE YOU OFF
I got this game after new super Mario bros. I kept dying a the water levels and didn't know why. (In new super Mario bros you couldn't die from drowning.) I got so frustrated that I sold this game at GameStop a year later. I didn't touch a sonic game for years.

Then you play as boss characters in almost every Adventure era game.
Incredibly underrated Sonic game. I unfortunately can't play it anymore, I lost the cartridge somewhere a few years ago. :(
Sonic Rush Adventure was great, too.
Your not the only one I lost it when i was 8 years ago
RedSonic7 Overload how old are you
um 18 why
RedSonic7 Overload i just got the game two years ago, rush adventure was the first one i played
Sonicfan0001 Gaming also its bot underrated, it is the 9th best selling ds game
''You'll regret this..''
*I wont forget this*
RikXtreme4 i never noticed that when i was kid
Wait, eggman! *snaps fingers
Must be telepathy. 👀
Always bugged me
Mandela Effect?
I like how Cream not only doesn’t care that Blaze is beating Sonic, but she’s rooting for Blaze to beat Sonic.
And cheers as Sonic falls to his death.
Cream is officially a greater threat than any other foe Sonic has faced.
@@ubilwilbur4775i mean play Sonic Advance or Sonic Battle and you'll know why, that Chao is terrifying
*Gets an S Rank*
"Could we try this again?"
Yeah I don’t get it
Sir Yeetus XIV I think it’s more In the context of taunting Eggman
He wants to go another round
Wait what awful creepypasta
Oh yeah, that one.
That part at 0:43 where the egg hammer readies its one-shot and the guitar rips before the music hits its crescendo is amazing.
Jeez, you made the final boss look so EASY. My younger self is enraged, but my current self is mostly just impressed.
Sir Tristan The Normal mode version of that boss was stupid hard.
Sir Tristan for me getting 7th chaos emerald was worse.
same here
This boss is easy to defeat
The only boss I had trouble with was the egg eagle.
I remember listening to the music getting sped up when the boss was low as a kid and I would just get pumped up and excited all of a sudden. The OST of this game is so, so great.
The second boss is an over armored.... Lapras ·_· 👌
the third one is literally a robot dung beetle..
kinda gross sounding..
THE EGG SCARAB!
It’s a plesiosaur
*You need a masterball to catch it or it will keep breaking free from the ultra ball so get your gameshark/codebreaker advance masterball cheat code ready*

Feels like Cream is telling Blaze to defeat Sonic
Rio Cheng She basically is
@@Zenithal1843 why tho?
I feel like it would be a cool detail if cream was a bit nervous or something, but it makes sense for tails because he doesn't know the opponent (blaze)
Not gonna lie, the sixth boss made me cry as a kid. It was really hard for me.
Sal the Commenter Me too. I had a fucking pain in the ass trying to beat that one boss when I was 6. I had to get my older brother to beat it for me. I mean, I can beat it now easy as fuck, but back then...
SkuII_Grunt Weird. I don't recall any problems.
Jay4CKay CC Agent 5 Altitude Limit was hard in general
Wtf it wasn't too hard for me. And I was 6.
I had the same problems as a kid but i beated it after a million tries
This is my childhood right here :)

The Osho we already have egg viper in sonic adventure
People give Dimps a lot of flack (not all of which is undeserved, mind you), but I reckon they did a pretty solid job with Sonic Rush.
I honestly would have been fine if Sonic 4 was similar to rush lol
ShiitakeWarrior yeah thats because sonic 4 exists
Sonic rush adventure and all sonic advance games were good. The 2 sonic 4 games however

Looking back on this game, it had so many interesting and fun bosses
this is how sonic games should be.
FACTS
Yes
BlueBlitz stfu sonic rush is the best 2d modern sonic game
@@ribbie5362 he was agreeing with him. Chill out.
Raven How tf was he agreeding fp
oh man this takes me back, one of the only sonic games ive played and im so deeply grateful it was this one. such a banger of a game and a soundtrack.
This is a really cool set of bosses. Design, animation, fun factor of the fights...Rush knocks it out of the park.
i love the theme for the Exception Zone - Wrapped in Black
Joey U.S.F. Exception isn't a zone
Mania ! Anyways the song
My childhood right here. Altitude Limit was the hardest zone, including the boss.
*eggman will remember this*
_and you'll regret this_
*eggman nega will remember this*
My childhood...
The nostalgia...
I'm ridiculously happy right now.
Wow I would have thought that Sonic Rush was old enough to still have the original voice actors for Sonic and Eggman. I guess I just found out that Griffith and Pollock started in '05. Cool
Ah yes, Sonic Rush. When Eggman had the sense to build robots with insta-kill attacks and durability that stood up to more than just three hits.
Best 2d Sonic game ever
Megatendo lp and one of the hardest ones at that
Megatendo/ a picture to troll people I hate your picture

I hate this game.
@@TopTop-oo7xz Why?
I actually just noticed this! During the entire final boss, you're slowly losing rings!
Super Sonic has always had a timer based on the amount of rings you have (so the player can't just breeze past the levels while being invincible, the ring timer doesn't exist in the lore) since he was introduced in Sonic 2.
If you look very closely *sonic dabs at the victory screen.*

This was the first Sonic game I ever got. So many great memories. That final boss was a real pain for me.
I found my Sonic Rush cartridge a few weeks ago, i popped it into my old DS Lite, memorys.
Why I love the egg salamander fight
1.kick ass music
2.sonic and blaze working together
3.how the fight takes place
My first ever Ds game I still love it to this very day :D
14:53
Tails: Go! Get him, Sonic!
Blaze: Who?
Hold up
plot twist: Blaze is okay with she/he pronouns
Tomboy?💀
The blaze/sonic and egg king boss fights have some of the coolest boss music ever
I got both rush games and I still bust em out for a play ever now and again to this day, they're banger games.
I LOVED this game when I was little and I still do. But I accidentally deleted it, I'd love to play it again and beat the game!
This is Probably 1 of 3 Sonic Games to have you fight a Playable Character (Misincluding Spinoffs)

Unwiished...god.
Why does everyone complain about Sonic Superstars bosses, yet they don't have a problem with these slogs? They're much worse.
Somehow getting the chaos emeralds in Sonic rush adventure is *A LOT* more easy than getting the chaos emeralds in Sonic rush those were *IMPOSSIBLE*
Yeah dont talk about the 7th one it took me 1 month just 6o get it
17:14 the fact that Cream is encouraging Blaze to kick Sonic's ass is hilarious
Sonic: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH *falls to his death *
Blaze: don't get on my bad side
Sonics ghost: I did not get on your so-called bad side.
Damn these memories are flooding In.Also I remember the final boss was a pain In the ass to finish but you make It look so easy but It probably Is easy
This and Sonic Rush Adventure are probably two of my favorite 2D Sonic games, I grew up playing both of them.
This game and Sonic Chronicles : The Dark Brotherhood are games I wish I could play again.

29:00 Burning Blaze - blaze's super form named after her fire powers. Cause the 7 sol emeralds
Awesome! Thank you so much for this!
anyone ever realize that blaze has those spiky things on her ponytail but as burning blaze she no longer has them
Oh my goooood. I remember how HARD the soundtrack was
i used to have this game when i was younger and the bosses used to scare me. especially the water one
This game in 2020 is still the fun game and honestly? The bosses in Sonic Rush were strong I’ll admit. ESPECIALLY THE BOSS WITH THE ARMS WHERE IT TRIES TO SHAKE YOU OFF
I could never do the end bit of the Blaze/Sonic fight where you have to mash the buttons as a kid
4:44 *the egg scarab is basically sonic saying “no u” to win*
This game was like a drug for me as a kid
I remember this game from so long ago
I love the metal scratchin soundtrack so much.
As a kid I got stuck on the altitude level for so long
I’m only going to say this once..... and nobody better @ me with any Silver and/or Amy nonsense.....
Sonaze forever!
I got this game after new super Mario bros. I kept dying a the water levels and didn't know why. (In new super Mario bros you couldn't die from drowning.) I got so frustrated that I sold this game at GameStop a year later. I didn't touch a sonic game for years.
Lol that sounds like a 4 year old after a rage quit
Tem is playing Heh. I feel ya. I didn't sell it though... I lost the game card.... ;-;
Ultra Tem is Playing I know exactly what you mean! Only I didn't sold it and played it 4 years later.
Egg king is insanely hard but damn that music slaps. The frame rate and input lag is horrible
this was the first sonic game i ever saw. and i must say, these are some cool robots!
The best bit was 23:00 - 23:07 that alone was S Rank lol 😎
*Eggman must be very proud of his degree*
