But the difficulty is extremely artificial. The only reason this was even an S rank was because he just decided not to do that attack with the pink lightning.
The first time I “beat” this game as a kid, I didn’t have enough emeralds or whatever to get the “true” ending which was the boss fight after this one. I eventually went back to the game and when I saw there was another fight I was dumbstruck
As a kid this boss was so hard to beat so every time I'd restart and play it I would hear over and over eggman saying get ready to be schooled and thanks to that its now engraved in my memory forever also in the end how does sonic get off the space station while it still falling???
Having earbuds in as you watch and listen to these nostalgic videoes is such a feeling as you hear it again after all these years, all of a sudden your senses are flooded with nostalgic recognition and memories, what a time! I’m so grateful for this game and everyone who worked on it!
@@JeremyJS Thank you for telling us that God never mentioned skipping Sonic's breakdancing sequence in Egg King's victory screen is a sin. I'm sure we wouldn't know it without your help.
This boss made me so angry cause I kept dying to it. But the stage being a floating piece of debris and your basically floating down while eggman tries to kill you is so fucking cool.
I can't be the only one who thought Eggman Nega snapped at the final phase, right? Like, he literally didn't care about his own wellbeing anymore, he just wanted to kill Sonic.
and if you do not have time to hit the head on the third impact on the platform, then the platform will break and you will fall and the whole bossfight will start from the beginning
@@OmegaChase1002 I respect your opinion, but I said "like" that boss. Instead of something like the QuickTime events in forces, or just the running forward and occasionally hitting the boss kinda fights we get in modern sonic games, I'd want to play something like this boss, or like the other bosses in this game.
@@Z2Obsidion this boss has an instakill move and a really annoying attack i call lightning spaghetti. Id like a boss like this but without moves like that.
Is it just me or is the boss way more difficult for me? The attacks are way more aggressive, I have all the chaos emeralds, so does that make a difference?
*THERE IS AN EASY MODE?* So you telling I wasted all these hours dying at all those bosses because I didn't realised I didn't play on easy mode? ... well, damm
@@bestshadow6585 yeah, in the options there’s an easy mode, all it does is make bosses shorter, so I beat the game with that bc the bosses aren’t the best
This was an incredible boss, but because of how hard it was, I put the game on easy both times I fought it. Eventually I will go back it defeat it on the default difficulty
*Eggmen, but on a serious note, the hardest boss that I remember fighting created by eggman (not including sonic 1 and 2 final bosses. Those were Robotnik days) was the final boss fight in Sonic Advance 3. Not Nonaggression, I... I was never able to get all the emeralds. But the fight at Altar Emerald. I died so many times to that. The next hardest one, possibly harder, was the Twinkle Snow boss. I kept falling and dying. Overall, past sonic games had some difficult fights.
Mm, Classic and Advance bosses require careful observation amongst a number of retries to determine the attack pattern and the when and where to counterattack. As with the majority of modern gaming, modern bosses telegraph everything you need to know via brightly-lit billboard, and whatever they don’t telegraph the HUD conveys.
This legit has to be on of the coolest boss of a sonic game, the fact that you're fighting this boss while falling down is awesome, adds more coolness to this boss.
I just got this game again today! That part where you climb the arm had me completely confused until I realized you're supposed to crouch so you don't get flung off (I though the D-Pad icon was telling you to spin or Spin-dash)! I absolutely love this game, but it does not do the best job explaining what to do (even the manual flat out doesn't tell you about the trick system/air dash controls, which are REQUIRED to beat the game--good luck beating the carnival level unless you how about R+Up!)
I came back to this video and looked at this comment and thought "take off a peice of clothes Everytime he does it??", and I looked at my correction comment and I understood
This boss is just annoying. So the egg king will try to smash you with his hands even though they’re a little too slow. And when it’s staying on the ground you need to hit it and the only way to do damage to it is by going to the cockpit and hitting it and hoping to not get shaked off. Luckily you can duck to avoid getting shaked off the arm. Sound simple right? Well here’s the catch. It later summons enemies that can damage you and you can’t duck and you get shaken off over and over again and you better hope for a good pattern. Not to mention when it’s close to dead it’ll use pink lasers and they’re very annoying to avoid so you’re gonna wanna get the rings back if you take damage. What’s even worse is that you fight it twice as both sonic and blaze. And it’s the exact same experience for both.
THIS FUCKING BOSS I tried to beat this guy for 2 weeks straight as a kid but I gave up here… I could probably beat him now but this damn near made me cry
Anyone know the one question where people ask: “Why don’t the bosses make their levels impossible!?” That’s what this boss is, I’m serious, this boss is a pain in the flipping ass, TOOK ME 11 YEARS TO BEAT THIS THING! AND THE SECRET FINAL BOSS TOOK ONLY LIKE 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!!
As a kid I had no idea you could hold down to not get thrown off. No idea how I missed that with the down pop up in the corner but hey I did. I actually used to beat this boss by waiting out the first shake and spin dashing at the right time to jump onto the arm and speed my way to the head.

Are we gonna ignore how impressive this boss is for a ds game
It's even too impressive since how even on real hardware frames drop.
One of the more badass-looking Sonic bosses.
I’m starting to notice bots commenting in pairs to justify the other one... Begone bots
And one of the most rage-inducing ones!
from a setpiece/environment standpoint ABSOLUTELY!
I always thought this stage and boss, not only had a stellar theme song, but also had good depth and scale for a Nintendo DS game boss.
Yeah I bet it was a nightmare getting the egg king model to work in a game this early in the ds life cycle

One of the best if not THE best Sonic boss fight. VERY difficult, Awesome design, amazing theme, thats how you do a (semi) final boss right!
But the difficulty is extremely artificial. The only reason this was even an S rank was because he just decided not to do that attack with the pink lightning.
ALSO I JUST NOTICED HE WAS PLAYING ON EASY LMAO
@@quillllly I mean maybe he's a little kid
@@williamrithaler4051 thats an interesting conclusion to jump to
@@quillllly why else would he be on easy mode
The first time I “beat” this game as a kid, I didn’t have enough emeralds or whatever to get the “true” ending which was the boss fight after this one. I eventually went back to the game and when I saw there was another fight I was dumbstruck
Same I only found out recently that this was not the final boss
The last one was always a little hard to get for me
Fuck that last emerald tho
As a kid this boss was so hard to beat so every time I'd restart and play it I would hear over and over eggman saying get ready to be schooled and thanks to that its now engraved in my memory forever also in the end how does sonic get off the space station while it still falling???
Uhhhh... yes?
Huh, i always thought he said "get ready for this, fool!"
And I got easy over time
No
Gabriel Maestre nope
Sonic Rush is one of those Sonic games that actually have hard and challenging bosses. Especially with their annoying insta kill moves
They're really bad and boring too.
@@centurychum not at all. none of them are bad, and they're farm from boring. just difficult.
@@moonceIlI agree
The most badass looking egg robot boss battle in the whole franchise
*One of the most
@@paulo547 You right actually
With one of the most badass tracks playing in the background.
His fighting style is badass. However i think something like the egg dragoon or metalix deserves to be on top

I think this is one of the few times crouching has been used as a mechanic in a Sonic boss.
I can't believe you skipped sonic's breakdancing, that's basically a sin against god
and then the boss clear music
Nowhere in God’s words does it say that’s a sin.
@@JeremyJSthat's the joke
@@JeremyJS looks like the joke went in one ear and came out the other
@@JeremyJS Thank you for telling us that God never mentioned skipping Sonic's breakdancing sequence in Egg King's victory screen is a sin. I'm sure we wouldn't know it without your help.
One of the most epic sonic boss
This boss made me so angry cause I kept dying to it. But the stage being a floating piece of debris and your basically floating down while eggman tries to kill you is so fucking cool.
The absolute fear I’d get at the end of this boss, man. It was terrifying seeing that giant mech get right up to the screen.
I can't be the only one who thought Eggman Nega snapped at the final phase, right? Like, he literally didn't care about his own wellbeing anymore, he just wanted to kill Sonic.
I like to believe when you get him down to 1 health and he starts slamming into the station he’s trying to kamakazy you
and if you do not have time to hit the head on the third impact on the platform, then the platform will break and you will fall and the whole bossfight will start from the beginning
Love the soundtrack
As a child I found this fight naturally challenging and fun
Why can't we get bosses like this anymore man...
Because Sega thinks Sonic is not suppose to have epic bosses and stories.
because this boss sucks. theres a difference between hard and cheap. they decided to be cheap with this boss.

Oh my god. I never knew I had to crouch at 1:05, I always got stuck on this part years ago and now i can't play it anymore since I lost it ;-;
I legit bought it again
God damn, you and me both
Oh my god that's why it was impossible😂
This boss should have been called Nagunama King because of how royal this music is
Missed opportunity for Sega to put this boss in Sonic Generations for the 3DS. That should have been the boss for the DS era.
In fact.
All Sonic Generations foe 3DS should have use levels from Game Gear, GBA and NDS games.
They have the opportunity in SXS generations to replace the egg dragoon with this
Is it just me or is the boss way more difficult for me? The attacks are way more aggressive, I have all the chaos emeralds, so does that make a difference?
It is played on Easy mode. In Normal mode he goes down in 8 hits and attacks are more aggressive as well
Also for some reason he doesn’t use his best attack here? Probably because of easy mode but it’s weird
He doesn’t use the electricity
*THERE IS AN EASY MODE?*
So you telling I wasted all these hours dying at all those bosses because I didn't realised I didn't play on easy mode? ... well, damm

I can immediately tell it's easy mode because you aren't fighting enemies on the robot's arm.
The moment I heard this track as a kid... I knew I was in for hell.
Bro I hate how hard this was
Like how can I beat it as a kid but not as a teen
The last robot made by eggman that would actually be a challenge
Holy crap someone actually liked my comment
Eh i think SOME bosses after this game were still kinda tought by eggman but not many, you're kinda right sadly.

Pressing up for make him looking at the enemy is my favorite thing to do
Good ole 2010-2014 memories. I was getting it on this game,but I haven't beat him as easy as you did though
This legit has to be on of the coolest boss of a sonic game, the fact that you're fighting this boss while falling down is awesome, adds more coolness to this boss.
GET READY TO BE SCHOOLED
This boss is harder than big swell final boss on the sequel.
This man made the boss look like the wrecking ball boss in sonic 1. He made it look too easy
To be fair, it was played in Easy mode I think
@@minorseven8134yeah I’m sitting here like it’s missing a phase lol
This game should totally have a sequel, and then they should put it in arcades. That would become a classic.
Funnily enough it has a Sequel called Sonic Rush adventure. Which I have 100%d while difficult it felt good to beat unlike this one.
@@Nateyred this one did feel good to beat

I honestly thought it was cool, fighting a boss while falling from space.
This boss was so damn good that the actual final boss was underwhelming.
it took me 30 minutes to understand that sonic have to hold on by pressing ⬇️ while he’s on robot’s arm💀💀💀
ME TOO i thought it was asking me to spindash and i kept getting so frustrated 🤕
me too lol
I am learning this YEARS after playing the game. I beat this game by spin dashing so it's not impossibl, just difficult.
So, everytume he shakes his arm, i have to dress down? AASVJnjajiajiajiJia,kamkam
*press
Have to get a grip on him
I came back to this video and looked at this comment and thought "take off a peice of clothes Everytime he does it??", and I looked at my correction comment and I understood
This is my second favorite Sonic boss EVER
this boss was great for handheld standards. No this whole game was
I wish they used the Egg King instead of the Egg Emperor in the 3DS version of Sonic Generations
THE FEAR I HAD FOR THIS WAS THE FEAR I HAD TO SEE MY UNCLE AS A KID
Just like Shadow of the Colossus...
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Eggman Nega: Get Ready to be Schooled
This boss is harder than even the 7th special stage of this game… still killer though!
This boss is insanely difficult for me and I’m a experienced gamer wth!!
I am 19 and just realised you have to crouch to not fall off his arm lol
Man wtf the set piece for this boss is incredible
You can’t tell me this isn’t a Michael Jackson sample or mimic for the Sonic 3 Michael Jackson production
It isn’t. The music was done by the guy who did the music for Jet Set Radio.
My younger self thought exactly the same thing, I can't un hear it
To this day still haven’t got the true ending
I just did 3-4 days ago
Sorry to rub it in but i won't spoil it for you
Get the chaos emeralds and play all the way through blazes story
you should try, the final boss music is super good
1:40
that sync was so perfect
I just realize the shadow in the yellow was eggman or eggman nega in a cockpit controlling the neck
NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Why are pentiumalte sonic final bosses always the hardest
Alright, everyone say it with me.
THIS IS EPIC!
This feels more of a "Final" Boss than Ghost Titan from Sonic Rush Adventure.
This fight was some bs man but still one of my favorite sonic games
It’s was so hard no reason and annoying
Peter vs Optimus Prime fortnite.
Eggman was watching too much gundam
Egg King

How is this boss so epic for a DS game 😨

Yes and of you don't have time to hint- platform is will be crushed and you will die.
THIS FUCKING BOSS I tried to beat this guy for 2 weeks straight as a kid but I gave up here… I could probably beat him now but this damn near made me cry
Well if you’re still stuck on this boss then good luck.
If you don’t get up that arm in time you got a 90% chance if insta-death
shoutout to everyone who never realized they could use the R button throughout the entire game
The robot looks like it’s from transformers
Anyone know the one question where people ask: “Why don’t the bosses make their levels impossible!?”
That’s what this boss is, I’m serious, this boss is a pain in the flipping ass, TOOK ME 11 YEARS TO BEAT THIS THING! AND THE SECRET FINAL BOSS TOOK ONLY LIKE 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!!
HOT DANG this boss is freaking cool
when he says ill crush u that means phase 2
You make it look so easy for young me
this kinda looks like easy mode tho
The best music
The Egg King here's kinda similar to that boss in Sonic Advance 3 (Hyper Eggrobo).
Edit: not gonna lie
This is more epic than Egg Salamander, ngl.

This boss used to scare me as a kid
Me who has never had trouble with this boss as a kid. Don’t see how people thought this boss was hard.
Hard Corps Uprising. Stage 8, final boss.

is it just random if there’s the lightning attack or the fuckin rolling bombs??
Did you just beat Egg King WITOUT GETTING THE DRONE ATTACK A SINGLE TIME ?!
I’ll say this boss was quite the vibe check for most players
Wait this is easy mode
round around around around around
EGGHEAD GOT SCHOOLED ALRIGHT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
For some reason this boss remembers me death egg robot from sonic generations
You mean the sonic generations death egg robot boss remembers you of this.
Boss was lethal on hard mode I didn’t even defeat him
Ah yes! Sonic Advance 4
The egg king attack
Phare 1 some Guy dwon
Phare 2 all go up
There’s a reason they only had 1 life left
This would be such a good boss without the bullshit lightning attacks lmfao.

I had too much problems with this boss. Even with blaze
S Rank is pure bullshit, as the boss can hold on an attack pattern for as long as he wants before moving into the vulnerable position.
